Perhaps the most nattering of these requests come Trom the employees of the Asy- lum, a largo number of whom have united in urging him to remain. He has proven himself competent and faithful and we feel assured that the trustees will not aocept his resigna tion, if it Is possible to avoid It. We do not know Col. Humber’s plans, but we feel, with our citizens general ly, that his removal from Milledge- ville would be a calamtt y to our city. mg. f. tbe 21st , chap, of l King s: *‘ And Allah spake unto Naboth, savin*- Gwe me the Vineyard, that I may have it for a garden,” &c. [Find the text and read the whole chapter.] 1 he eloquent preacher gave'a thril ling and graphic account of God’s dealing with, and punishment of, A- hab for his robbery of Naboth, add then proceeded to say, “When God made the laws to govern the world . ml onl y Sft M, ‘thou shalt not ?.l al ’ . ut 116 went further and said, thou shalt, not covet.’ ” All good government is founded on the ten commandments. The best govern ments are those which furnish the surest prstection to life and property, and the strength of a government is in the virtue and intelligence of its people. Under Ood’s direct control the king on his throne dared not in terfere with the sacred rights of pro- perty. Nihilism was a black spot on # il?.? een The ultimate aim or nihilists and socialists was to ob literate ull property rights. The rem edy for this growing evil is to en courage and help men that they may have families and homes. The love of home was akin to the love of God and is Christianity’s sweetest support. The Augusta Presbytery Will convene in this city next Fri day, and the Introductory Sermon will be preached by Rev. J. D. A. Brown of Washington, the retiring Moderator, at 7.30 p. m. at the Presby terian church. The Presbytery consists of one preacher and one ruling elder from each church. About twenty-five com missioners are expected to be in at tendance in this city. Arrangements have been made by the local commit tee for their entertainment There will be preaching every night at 7:30 o’clock. The Sacrament of the Lord’s supper will be administered on Sun day morning. Addresses will be made before the Sunday School at 4 o’clock P. M. The Union Missionary meet ing will be held at the Presbyterian church on Sunday night. Dr. Woodrow will not attend this meeting of the Presbytery. The public are cordially invited to attend upon the sermons of the body. The pulpits of the several churches in this city will be filled by members of the Presbytery on Sunday morn ing. ^ Our City to Be Illustrated. Mr. B. M. Blackburn of Madison, Ga., who is at present associated with the Atlanta Constitution in writing up and illustrating the progressive towns of Georgia, was in our city last week, and made all necessary arrange ments for writing up and illustrat ing our lively little city. We may expect a graphic description of the “Old Capitol” from the pen of Mr. Blackburn, who has demonstrated, in other cities, his ability to make a likeness true to nature. We have not been so much engaged as some other cities have in erecting palatial residences and costly public buildings, but we have directed our energies and our means to the erection of In dustries which are far more bene ficial to the community, and give a broader and more impressive influ ence to strangers than palatial res:- dences aud iuapjnific6nt public edifi ces. Since the above was written the Constitution of the 80th has reached us It is an accurate portraiture of Milledgeville and its leading mercan tile and professional men. As far as it goes it is correct. It has not that rosy hue that is put on some of descrip tions of Georgia towns, But we pre fer the truth to color. The Navigation of the Oconee. Mr. Adolph Joseph readied home Sunday morning from New York. On his way lie stopped in Washington, and conferred with our representa tive in Congress, Hon. James H. Blount, in regard to the opening of the Oconee river to navigation. .He says Mr. Blount lias not been negli gent in this matter, but on the con trary lie lias exercised good j .dg- ment aid discretion and that ho is faithful to the interests of his constit uents. He lias been and is at work for us; and Mr. Joseph thinks un ap propriation sufficient to open the river will be secured. New Machine Works. Messrs. Geo. R. Lombard & Co., of Augusta have rented the budding formerly occupied by the Milledge- ville Iron aud Machinery Works, and will open machine shops in this city. These shops will be under the managemdnt of Mr. Pooser. We wel come to onr oity this much needed industry. The Right Spirit-Cherish It Fellow- Citizens- For one time we may say without the least chance of mistake, that the people of Baldwin county and the cit izens of Milledgeville were never so closely united, and so universally of one opinion as to the importance of planting deep, and strong our city and county interests and then cultivating them with care, as now. For a long time the county bridge over the Oconee wasa perpetual irrita tion, until flood after flood made it a chronic sore. That old ailment is healed, perhaps as long as this century lasts, if not long er. Our county people, over a valued portion of it, are now bound with iron bands that will serve to keep up daily intercourse and cement stronger the bonds of interest and kind feelings be tween County and City. The charac ter of a city is often determined by its business rneu. And where, in any small city of eight thousand inhabi tants, can be found stronger, more en ergetic, more live business men than are to be found in this old city of the “red hills of Georgia?” We are not writing up the city, its advantages, commercial, educational, or otherwise; we are at presentengag ed in calling attention to the flood- tide of prosperity that has reached us, and the united sentiment that moves our population to a larger growth and a wider sphere of usefulness. It is be fore us. Our business men aud capi talists have caught hold with a firm hold, and they are not going to let go. Rest assured of that. The rapid growth of this oity in wealth and pop ulation, has been the means of bring ing to the front many young men who have hitherto been content to serve in old established firms. This is all chauged now. The young men have stepped out of the shadow of success ful houses, in which th*y have served long and well, and are now able and ready to pilot their owu barks on the oeean of trade; and with strict atten tion to business, affable and courteous mauuers, promptnes iu its pursuit, with salesmen whose experience and knowledge will euable them to antici pate tl^3 wants of customers, they will grow, prosper, aud expand. But when we started out we only meant to call attention to the unity of sentiment that pervades our whole people at this time, and to congratu late one aud all of our readers on a consummation so long desired.
