There is a pretty prospect for

The Callayray building is going up
rapidly under the skillful direction of
the experienced contractors, Messrs.
McMillan and Tunnel.

Capt. Minor of the Dummy is

yon may be sure.
Mrs. Warren Edwards is a born

A ten mile ride with Dr. W. H. Hall,
on Thursday last was a treat. He
took the writer to bis farm, and the
big spring tbereon. Then be brought
us by Midway and the old Oglethorpe
College where we graduated in 1843,
without any honors. ,
Mr. Joseph Cadwallader, of Jack
sonville, Flu., recent donated a tract
of land in Florida to the Georgia Lun
atic Asylum. A flaw in the titles hav
ing prevented the transfer he lias
proven liis sincerity and done the
handsome thing by sending his check
for $500 to Superintendent Powell.
The Census-taking this week recalls the
old lady and her chicks. When tho enu
merator asked her how many chickens she
had, the old lady raised her specs and said
‘don’t zaotly know, but I’ll show ’em ter
ye.' She stepped out and cried two or
three times, ‘oblok-ee. chick-ee’: and here
they came from everywhere. ‘Nice paasel,
aint it stranger? 'Count ’em', said the old
tody.
Death.—Mrs. Martha G. Ward,
widow of the late Peyton Ward, died
at her home in this county, on Wed
nesday, 4th inst. She was Seventy-
six years of age. Her death was caus
ed by cancer m the mouth. She leaves
three children and several grand-chil
dren and a large circle of friends to
mourn her loss.
Dr. Hall has on his farm near the
Smith Mount the finest Spring we
ever drank from. It is a pity it is
not nearer town than it is. It could
supply us with all the water we need
ed to drink and for domestic purposes
and it could run a Factory and other
Industries, properly utilized. As it is
down hill-ali the way to the city, why
can’t the Dr. bring us the water?
Dan Bostwick, (colored) of Ameri-
cus, was in the city last week after an
absence of twenty years. He was a
servant of Dr. Jos. B. Newell anil fol
lowed him through the campaigns in
Virginia during the war. When he
reached the city he called at the New
ell Homestead, and asked for Capt.
Newell. He said an unutterable
longing bad seized him to visit his
old home and be had eome to see it and
visit the grave of Marse Joe in the old
cemetery.
The Citv Fathers could do nothing
in a small way that would more
improve the appearance of the
city just now than to mow down the
the May weeds that are now in their
highest development on the streets
and commons.
Now is the time to kill them before
the seed are matured.
The yellow weed that has made its
appearance on our streets in the last
two years will soon be in full blast
and should also be promptly extermi
nated.' By all means kill these weeds
and develop the beautiful bermnda
sward that will be a pleasure to the
eye.
The New Davis Vertical feed Sew
ing Machine for sale by W. H. Bass
beats them all. Don’t buy until you
see them.
The Men Who Make a Town.
It does not take many men to put a
town ahead. Just look back two
years and see what a few men in this
city have done to build it up.
Capt. Conn is an old settler. He
made his money right here by hard
work, and he is now putting it to a
good use. ■
Mr. Sol. Barrett came over here
from Linton, Hancock county, where
he was held in the highest esteem.
He at once took a high stand in the
community—has been foremost in
ever”*—* " -
ream
money
enterprises, and stands as hlglTos any
man in the city, beloved by every
body from the littlest child to the
oldest deacon in the Church.
Mr. G. T. Whilden is another gentle
man we would be pleased to speak of
tor his enterprise and public spirit.
He came over from South Carolina,
and made his home here. He has
been a friend to this city, and we give
him all praise for wbat he has done
for us.
But,was left to Mr. W. 8. Brooks
of I alhot county, to give an impetus
to the wheels of industry hitherto
unknown in this city. Two years ago
he came to this city, our college be •
ing the chief attraction, he having
children to educate. To begin with
he built the best ginnery in the conn’
tv, and followed soon with a first class
Grist mill, and then under the threats
of the American Oil Trust company
he built au Oil Mill, which he opera-
ted through the past season with
great success. At a recent meeting of
the stockholders of said Oil Mill com
pany, a very flattering resolution ap
proving' the management of the bus
iness, was adopted. The electric light
company was also originated by him.
The lights have given such perfect
satisfaction that the demand for au
increased number of lights has caused
the company to make arrangements
for doubling the capacity of their dy
namo. Mr. B. is now engaged in ne
gotiating for a new engine and
boiler of sufficient capacity to meet
the increasing demands. The works
will be moved to a new site. Not less
than fifty thousand dollars are invest
ed in industries put into operation by
Mr. Brooks in the past two years.
Mr. George C. Smith a young capi
talist of South Carolina who came to
this city to buy cotton about two
years ago, has invested his money
liberally in all the new enterprises. He
has faith in the future of the city, and
has decided to make it his permanent
home. He is a most desirable acqui
sition to this community, possessing
ample means, line business capacity
and sterling integrity. He left Sat
urday for a summer outing but will
be on deck when the fall business
opens.
Hon. R. C. Humber, for the Legis
lature from Baldwin County.
Mr. Editor—The people through
out the county seem to be considera
bly exercised just now, as to who will
be a suitable man to represent the
county in the next General Assembly.
If we of this county had the privilege
of searching Georgia all over for a
representative, we could not find one
better qualified and more competent
to make laws for the State than Col.
Humber. I know he has no aspira
tions for that important trust, but
that is just the sort of man that the
State needs at the helm now, and in
honoring him with the nil-important
trust to us, and the State at large, we
honor ourselves the most. I feel sure
Col. Humber will ask to be excused
from this responsible trust, but he
cannot, and will not refuse the peo
ple; he lias but few equals and no su
periors as a Legislator, and our school
interests just at this time, demands
his ripe experience and ability.

Barracks for Cadets.
The college trustees will petition
the Directors of the Industrial col-
lego for tho loan of the Executive
Mansion until the first of January,
by which time new Barracks will be
erected on the campus. It will bo
seen by the proceedings published
elsewhere that the city council have
resolved to extend the aid of the city
in the erection or Barracks, if neces
sary. _ t

Augusta R. R. train and will spend a

MILLEDGEVILLE IS CLEAN.
A special to the Macon Telegraph of last
Saturday says: “Mlllodgeville’s sanitary
condition now cannot be surpassed by any
city in Georgia. On account of the exis
tence of (a case of dlphth erla In the city,
the board of health and city council order
ed a thorough cleansing of the city, and,
when the Inspecting officer made his round
Thursday morning, he found not a single
filthy or nnclean place In the city limits.
A general whitewashing and painting epi
demic struck the city, and not a single
street escaped. Every weed has been cut
from the streets, and every sewer, etc., put
in order. All the diphtheria patients are
how well and no Dew cases have been re
ported for two weeks.
