COL. HUMBER RESIGNS.
. Col. R. C. Humber tendered his re
signation of the office of Steward of
the State Lunatic Asylum to the pru
dential committee of the board of
trustees, last Saturday. The ardu
ous duties of the office had begun to
tell upon his health, hence his resig
nation. Mr. L. J. Lumarwas elected
to fill his place and entered upon his
duties yesterday. The acceptance of
Mr. Lamar made a vacancy in the of
fice of Treasurer which was filled by
the election of Mr. A. J. Carr. Mr.
Lamar was steward of the Asylum
for many years before Col. Humber’s
term and is well qualified for the po
sition. The resignation of Col. Hum
ber was a surprise to the public. He
made a faithful officer and was great
ly respected and beloved by employees
and patients.
The Spirit of Progress.
In Middle, Southern, and North-
West Georgia the wheels of progress
revolve faster and faster with each
recurring day. This is more manifest
in the smaller cities and towns. Cities
like Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta,
Macon and Columbus grow day to
day, but the progress there covers so
wide a field that it is not so pronounc
ed and striking as it appears in cities
like Milledgeville, Americus and
Albany, or in new towns but a year
or two old like Cordele. But the Tax
returns for 1890 will show a wonderful
increase in the wealth and general
prosperity of our beloved State. Its
possibilities for greater growth, can
not be computed. From Atlanta to
Chattanooga following the State Road
on one side to the Alabama line on
the other side, there lies embedded in
the virgin soil untold millions in its
ores. And the Northern and Eastern
men are coming down South to devel
op this heretofore hidden wealth.
But our remarks to-day are with
reference to the wonderful progress
that has been made in Middle Georgia
within two years only. Look at Ma
con. Her growth is as if a magician
with hidden power had put his hand
upon her and said presto! And away
she goes—building here and there in
places almost unfrequented a few
years ago, and running up the value
of her dirt from one to five hundred
per cent. And our own town, dear
old Milledgeville, trodden down Jto
dust by the State itself, now rises by
the very hand that hurt her, and
blesses the wound she gave.

A Distinguished Relic-
We held in our hand yesterday a
piece of the black walnut coffin in
which Geo. Washington, the Eatlv
er of his Country,” was buried. It
was in the posession of Mr. H. v.
Sanford, and about the size of a wom
an’s hand. Mrs. Gen. John W. A.
I Sanford, formerly of this city, was a
lady of great refinement and cultiva
tion, a great traveler, and of fine edu
cation. She was present when Wash
ington’s coffin was exhumed, and
procured several pieces of the coffin
much larger than the one handled
yesterday, which ure now in the po-
session of a sister of Mr. H. V. San
ford The pieces, on account of ajre,
and the many years that they were
in the ground, are very light and
about half an ineh in thickness.
