An
excursion train left Atlanta,
over the E. T.,V. &Ga. R. R., early
Saturday morning, bound for this
city. It reached here over the Central
from Macon, about 11 o’clock, a. m. The
object of tile excusionists was to visit
the Asylum, and it was expected large
numbers of visitors would be added
along the route. The day, however,
proved to be very wet and disagrea-
ble, and hence many were deterred
from making the trip. The excursion
train was met by the Dummy and
about one hundred persons taken to
the Asylum where they spent several
hours, returning lute in the ufternoon.
Wo trust their visit was a pleasant
one, and regret they did not see our
City under brighter skies.
is stricken down. In his death, his
family loses a loving husband and
father, the community a firm and
aide defender of its best interests
and the state one of its most noble
and trustworthy sons.
On the 19th of December, Col.
Humber was stricken with paraly
sis at his plantation in Putnam
county. He was engaged in look
ing after the ginning and packing
of his cotton. The last bale had
just been pa'cked when he discover
ed that he had lost the use of his
left arm and leg. He was brought
to his home in this city by his son,
Mr. Charles Humber, who was with
him. At first, it was thought the
attack would not be attended with
serious results, and that a few days
of perfect quiet and rest would re
store him to health. To the few
friends who were permitted to see
him, he talked cheerfully and hope
fully of his affliction. At the expi
ration of ten days, however, it was
found that he was growing worse
instead of better, and his family
and friends became alarmed at liis
condition. His daughters, Misses
Mary and Le^, who were in Staun
ton, Va., were summoned home,and
other relatives informed of his con
dition. The constant enquiry at
his residence about his condition
attested the love and friendship of
his fellow-citizens. If love, friend
ship and respect could hav* saved
him, lie had not died. The skill of
the best physicians and the tender
nursing of loving hands could not
loosen the grasp of the dread dis
ease that had fastened itself upon
his vitals.
Col. Humber was a warm-hearted
man. He loved his friends and was
ready at all times to make any self-
sacrifice to serve them. Such men
always have warm friends, and he
numbered his by hundreds through
out the state. He was an honest
man, an affectionate husband and
father, a true friend, a kind neigh
bor, an intelligent and upright citi
zen.
Col. Humber was born in Troup
county, and was about fifty-three
years of age. He was a graduate
of the State University, and was
for several years a member of its
Board of Trustees. He was a faith
ful soldier of the Confederacy. He
represented Putnam county two or
more terms in the legislature. He
was a statesman and a patriot. He
held public duties above private
business. No man in Georgia ever
had a better record.
He moved from Putnam county
to this city three or four years ago.
His object in moving to Milledgeville
was to secure the educational ad
vantages afforded by our college.
The establishment of the Middle
Georgia Military and Agricultural
College in this city was largely due
to his influence. He was one of its
original trustees, and being also a
trustee of State University, he
was in a position to render it valu
able service since its organization.
His last public service was to visit
Atlanta, at the request of the trus
tees, to aid in getting the legislature
to make an appropriation for the
branch.colleges.
Since liis residence in Milledge
ville he served about two years u«
Steward of the lunatic asylum. He
resigned this position that he might
give more attention to his farming
interests.
He leaves a wife and six children—
four daughters and two sons—to
whom he leaves the priceless legacy
of a pure and useful life.
The funeral took place from the
residence at 4 o’clock yesterday af
ternoon. Rev. Mr. Seals of Eaton-
ton officiating.
The following gentlemen acted
as pallbearers: D. B. Sanford, C.
P. Crawford, W. S. Brooks, T. J
Fairfield, J. A. Horne, B. T. Be-
thune, G. T. Whilden and H. Good
man.
The exercises at the college were
suspended for tlie day, and the trus
tees and faculty attended the fun
eral. The Cadets acted as an escort.
The object of the association is to
erect a plant and operate the same
in the city of Milledgeville for the
manufacture of architectural terra
cotta, stone ware, flower pots, and
such other articles as are usually
made of clay. The site of the new
manufactory will be outlie grounds
of the famous Oconee Brick Works,
on the river, in this city.
For several years Mr. McMillan
lias been experimenting with clays
from all parts of the United States,
and even from England, and he is
satisfied that on the Oconee river
and in the adjacent country the
best clays in world for the manu
facture of stone ware and acliitec-
tural ornaments, are to be found.
With a view to establishing this
Pottery, he purchased some time
ago, a tract of land at. Carr’s Sta
tion, in Hancock county, on the
Georgia railroad, which contains a
white clay of the peculiar quality
desired, which, combined with th«
red clay obtained at his brick works,
make the material for which he has
been searching.
We have seen a specimen of the
stone ware manufactured from these
clays, in the shape of a diminutive
jug, at the drug store of Messrs.
Case, Culver & Kidd, which is filled
with orange water to test its hold
ing qualities. It is vitrified and
diamond would scarcely make
scratch on its glazed surface. It is
impossible for it to leak, and in this
respect surpasses the best manufac
tories in this country.
Still further looking to the estab
lishment of tliis grand enterprise,
the Milledgeville and Asylum rail
road has been extended to the site
of the Pottery, and thereby the
clay from Carr’s station will be de
livered in carload lots.
Now, all things being ready the
erection of the necessary buildings
will be commenced. The first build
ing to be erected will be a two sto
ry brick structure 50x150 feet. Work
on tins building will be commenced
inside of thirty days.
We congratulate Mr. McMillan
upon the happy consummation of
his plans, and Mr. Sibley upon his
association with him. It is fortu
nata for Milledgeville that her most
enterprising citizen should have dis
covered the great value of her clay.
He will work it for all it is worth,
and that means that the biggest and
best Pottery in the Soutli is to be
erected here. Our old town is on
the road to prosperity, at last.

Burglariou* Attempt.
The festive burglar attempts to
get in some work on our esteemed
fellow citizen Capt. Charles P.
Crawford last Tuesday night. Im
pressed with the idea that the Cap
tain had his usual roll of money in
liis vest pocket the burglar decided
that he would make a new year’s
haul.and proceeded to carry out liis
plans by invading the premises of
Capt. C. in the dead hour of the
night. He found easy entrance in
to the house through a window that
had been left open. Deftly seizing
the Captain's clothes from a chair
and merry with the thought of so
easilv securing 1400 dollars the bur
glar nied himself to the back yard
and at once went through the pock
ets of the same. He was si
chargrilled at finding only 40
cents therein, ho threw the
clothes down and silently stole
away refusing even to take the
captain’s line gold watcli which
cosily rested in one of the vest
pockets.
