in favor of president Lumpkin's ad

the Dummy than to walk.
Mr. C. T. Whelan lost his oldest
chtld, Mary, on Saturday. She was
five or six years old and a child of re
markable beauty and brightness. She

the sympathy of our people.

Robison of this city, died on Thurs

There are six bar-rooms open in the

not prohibit, held a meeting on Sat
urday, and reduced the county tax to
twenty-five dollars.
Good Shots.—Mr. Andrew Banks,
one of our old citizens says, he killed
three buzzards at. one shot with an
old fashioned rifle, only a single bail
in the barrel. ; , .
The writer shot at a squirrel last
Friday, on a small tree. The shot
killed tire mother twenty yards be-
yond wbew the little one fell.
But the biggest shot we have to
report, is the shot that our boy shot-
he killed seven partridges at a single
shot, and left not one to tell the story.
Lingould who was so badly wound
ed bv a negro on the day of the Pro
hibition election, is doing as well as
the seriousness of his wounds would
warrant one to expect. We hear that
he eats well, chews tobacco, smokes
and sleeps well, but does not speak a
word The wound in the head, pierc
ing the skull, has caused a partial
paralysis of the muscles of one side of
his body. A piece of the skull the
size of a nickle was removed by Dr.
Harris and other physicians attending
him. If he gets well it will be almost
a miracle.

Georgia Normal & Industrial College.
The trustees of the Georgia Normal
this ®i tr ^rP?J' eg ? for Rirl8 met tn
thiwiiW r « ttJr ln the Parlors of
the MiUedgeville Hotel. Present, Hon.
W. 1 Atkinson, of Coweta, presi
dent; Hon. Patrick Walsh, of Rich
mond, Vice President ; Dr. N S Wai
and Mr P p Ut T U V Ca ^ T - F - Newell
Ah. . T? - ^-Lamar, of Baldwin.
Absent, Hon. F. G. duBignon, of
Cobb mU3 ’ and H ° n- A ‘ Cla yi °f
,, was called to order bv
the President, Hon. W. Y. Atkinson^
^„ 10 . o o'ock. A, m„ and the roll wai
called, and the minutes of the last
meeting read by the Secretary, Mr
R. N. Lamar.
Mayor p. J. Clino appeared before
uie Board and turned over $‘22,000.00
ten thousand dollars of which was a
donation from the city of MiUedgeville
I and twelve thousand dollars a loan to
| enable the tiustees to begin at once
the erection of a suitable building for
tile college.
The Board then proceeded to exam -
me plans for the new building. Sec-
retary Lamar had been notified that
plans by several Architects had been
sent or would be sent by express. As
these plans had not arrived the Board
decided to adjourn until next Fri
day; at which time they will re-asseiU'
ble in this city, adopt a plan and ad
vertise for bids to erect the building.
_ The board selected the centre of the
Penitentiary square as the site for the
College building, fronting on Han
cock street. The site is a beautiful
one.
Since writing the above, Secretary
Lamar has received a telegram from
Hon. Patrick Walsh statiug that cer
tain plans, which were being prepar
ed in Augusta, could not be finished
by Friday, hence a postponement of
the meeting would become necessary.
It is expected that work on the
building will commence about the
first of July.
BARRACKS FOR CADETS
The surrender of the Executive
Mansion to the Directors of the Geor
gia Normal and Industrial College
leaves the Cadets of the M. G. M.
&'A. College without Barracks. Befor*
the Barracks system was adopted
cadets boarded in families throughout
the city. A failure to secure proper
quarters for the cadets would neces
sitate a return to that plan. The Bar
racks system has, however, proven a
splendid success, and given great sat
isfaction. The Trustees and commu
nity generally deeply regret the resig
nation of Mrs. M. E, Taylor, who has
been Matron of the Barracks (or the
past six years. The refining influ
ence of the Matron and the females
of her household has had a most grat
ifying effect on the manners and de
portment of cadets. The past year
has been a pleasant one in Barracks
and the health of the cadets has been
excellent.
The trustees have the Barracks
question under consideration. It is
possible that the Mansion may bo
rented from the Industrial School
Board for another year. It has been
suggested that the Marshall House,
or the large residence of Mrs. Jones
on Liberty street, could be rented for
Barracks. Maj. Lynes has submitted
to tho trustees a plan for remodel
ing the college, so as to adapt that
grand old building for Barracks. To
do this money would be required, as
a building for the primary classes
would become necessary. We trust
some plan for the erection of perma
nent Barracks may be agreed upon
speedily.

Death of Mr. Joseph Martin.
Mr. Joseph Martin, who lived near
Stevens Pottery in this county, died
last Tuesday. Just one week before
his death he was in this city making
arrangements for the purchase of
some land. He went home and was
taken sick with Pneumonia, and aft
er a week of extreme suffering passed
away from earth. He was one of onr
Baldwin farmers who had made rapid
progress during the past four years,and
was getting ready to live by steadily
adding to the comforts that make a
happy home, when he was called up
on to die. The efforts of his last years
to better the condition of his family
will linger as sweet memories in their
hearts and encourage them to strive
for the excellence to which his last
thoughts and efforts were directed.
We tender our sympathies to the dis
tressed family.
