Men often say to us, when we ask them to put their thoughts iu writing, “Oh, you write it, it is no trouble for you t* write." Friends, it is no troubie for us to write, but' it is a heap of trouble to us to write it right. There were 8 or 9 bales of cotton sold on Friday, and several on Sat urday, the rain, however, prevented some from ooming In, and also inter fered with cotton picking. We saw several bales put up in Cotton bag ging. Apples for preserving at J. M. Bayne’s, Are there more girls than boys in Milledgeville? Who knows? At a guess we would say there are many more girls than boys. As to marriage able girls, we are sure that there are twice as many as there are marriage able young men. The first of September put an end to the early closing of the dry-goods stores. Well, it doesn’t matter much. In a little while the days from sunrise to sunset will be two hours shorter than in tbo summer, and more pleas ant for ip-door labor. The Governor hus signed the bill to prohibit tbe sale of seed cotton in Baldwin county, from the 15th of August to the 15th of December of each year, and provide penalties for its violation. It is now a law. We publish the act in full elsewhere. Flagg’s Chapel Baptist church, col ored, has recently been repaired, painted and refurnished in handsome style. Rev.

Wo learn with regret that a bill ie pend ing in the House of Representatives to sell all the State’s property In tills city, except the college anil campus. Ten yours ago by act of the legislature all tho property of tile state located in this city, was com mitted anil loaned to the Trustees of ti,e State University to aid In establishing and maintaining the Middle Georgia Military and Agricultural college, a branch of the University In this placo. Hon. Robt. Whitfield, Hon. L. N. Calla way anil Hon. Ivy W. Duggan wont be fore tho committee to whom this bill was referred and protested agatnsV the bill. We loam the committee, however, decidod to report in favor of the passage of the bill. The withdrawal of said property from tho use to which It has beon committed by tho State would seriously embarrass the Local,Board in maintaining the college; tne Income from rentals amounting to nearly one thousand dollars per annum, when all the property is rented. The Executive Mansion la used for Barracks for the Ca dets, and the sale of this property would Interfere seriously with the discipline nnd efficiency of the Military Department.— The Local Board havo during the college vacation, just dosed, expended a consider able sum in repairing the Bnrracks. Ju6t hero It Is proper to state that the appropri ation made by the legislature, last year, was restricted entirely to repairing the “Old Capitol Building," and the local Trus tees havo been compelled to keep up tho repairs on the other prifparty. The resi dences on the Penitentiary square wore iu a dilapidated condition when received from the State and have required an annual ex penditure of money to keep them In a hab itable condition. By proper care, however, tho local board havo been able to realize from rontals a sum that materially aids tho college, but is insignificant to the State. Under authority, of the act establishing tho college, a portion of tne Penitentiary grounds havo been leased for a term of years. It is earnestly hoped by our citizens that the legislature will leave this property to the uses to which It hus been committed In the establishment of tbe branch college here. The removal of the seat of govern ment and the abandonment by the State of her property In this city, oaused u su rious loss to our citizens who purchased property here under the pledge of the state that Milledgeville was to bo the per manent capital. Our poople have accepted the loan of this property os virtually a gift—a slight recompense for the damage done them by the removal of the capital. A school has been established here that is an honor to the State—no Institution of learning In her limits has more pupils or is doing more thorough and useful work. We do not think It would look very becom ing in the legislature, just as soon as they are seated In their new million dollar Cap itol, to jump on us and take away the pro perty they abandoned hero "to tho owls and bats.” Best Laril in the market at J.
