Miss Sidney Adams, an attendant
at the Asylum, died on the night of
the 13th, of pneumonia. She came
from Jones county, and her remains
were taken home for burial. She was
a member of the Baptist church, and
was an excellent young lady.
At a meeting of the Directors of
the Milledgeville Banking Company,
held on the 6th a dividend of four
per cent was declared, payable to
stockholders on and after the 8th
inst. The semi-aimuul report makes
a fine showing for the Bank.
The Directors of the Georgia Nor
mal and Industrial College will
meet in this citv on Thursday next,
22nd inst., for the purpose of elect
ing a President of the College. A
number of distinguished educa
tors have been suggested for this
important position.
Yesterday, January 19tli, was the
birthday of Gen. Rob't. E. Lee. it
was a legal holiday. The bank was
closed and exercises at the college
were suspended. This was the only
outward observance of the day in
this city.
Our enterprising fellow-citizen, Mr.
W. S. Brooks, has purchased the
beautiful building lot. on the N. W.
corner of Greene and Jackson streets,
and will erect a handsome residence.
His plans and speciilcatious are ready
and the workmen employed, will
commence work at ODce.
The college corps of Cadets is again
very large, and is still being added to
weekly. It numbers sixty-seven in
ranks nnw. A number of new students
under ilfteen, will be admitted to the
corps upon reaching that age. The
recent, adverse legislation in regard to
branch colleges has not shaken confi
dence in our college, ltsfaiue is ex
tending.
The harvest of death, since the new
year began, has been fearful in
Georgia. Almost every county in
the state mourns the death of iise-
lul and prominent citizens. Deep
gloom still rests over our own com
munity on account of the recent
death of our distinguished and be
loved fellow-citizen, Col. R. C. Himi-
ber. A great and good man lias fal
len and the people mourn. Who
can fill his place !
Books, new or old, will be thank
fully received at the Asylum libra
ry. Look about your house and see
if you have any reading matter that
you would like to place where it
would do good. Many patients at
the Asylum derive pleasure and
benefit from reading, and hail with
delight a fresh arrival of books —
Neighbors might club together and
get up a box of cheerful and enter
taining literature for the unfortu
nate inmates of the asylum. The
freight will bs paid by the institu
tion.
We learn that Dr. H. D. Allen has
in contemplation the establishment of
an Invalid s Home at the site of old
Oglethorpe University, near the Asy
lum, at Midway. On tins property
recently purchased and now occupied
by the Doctor, is a commodious three
story brick edifice, admirably adapted
to such an institution. The location
is beautiful, high, healthful and retir
ed and a more desirable place for an
Invalid’s Home could not be found.
Now that inebriates are excluded from
the lunatic asylum, if the Doctor
should make a specialty of the treat
ment of this class of unfortunates he
would prove himself a public bene
factor,
.The Funeral #f Col. Humber.
At 4 o’clock Monday afternoon, 12th,
there was ft large gathering of citi
zens of Milledgeville and vicinity, at
the family residence to pay the last
sad tribute of respect to Col. Itobr.
C. Humber. Rev. Mr. Seals, in con
ducting the funeral services, paid a
beautiful and just tribute to the mem
ory of the deceased. Iu tender and
loving words the uianjof God alluded
to the pure and spotless record he
had made in life’s work. He took an
earnest and intelligent interest iu
State affairs and had been honored
with high position. He was a cul
tured gentlemen and a wise counsel
lor in public mutters. Ho was the
friend and promoter of education. In
social life he was kind and genial-
in his home his hospitality was un
bounded. He was a strong, self-re
liant man. His property had been
swept away three times—by the cy
clone, by fire and by flood. Under
these adverse circumstances he was
cheerful, even happy. Ho was a Chris
tian, the speaker had presided over
church where he was an official
member and had observed his walk
and his work. A great man has fal
len !
At the grave the preacher prayed
God’s blessing upon his descendants
to the latest generation.
Beneath the grand old oaks in our
city cemetery he sleeps the sleep of
the just.
In our notice of the death of Col.
Humber, last week, we failed to men
tion that he was a member of the
legislature from Troup county ir
1859-’60. He was a colleague of Hoh
Beuj. H. Hill. At that time he was a
young lawyer having just been ad
mitted to the bar. He studied law in
the office of Mr. Hill and was a life
long admirer of that distinguished
man. Both these men opposed seces
sion in I860; but after the sovereign
people had noted in cOuveution they
gave their time and talent for the suc
cess of the confederacy.
Industrial Education for Girls.
Death of Mrs. Franklin Skinner.
Mrs. Siniah It. Skinner, wife of Mr.
Franklin Skinner, died in this city
on Tuesday last, in the 59th year of
her age. The funeral services were
held at the family residence on Thurs
day morning. Rev. D. McQueen offi
ciating.
Mrs. Skinner was an excellent
Christian woman, always cheerful and
active in good works, notwithstand
ing the fact that she was afflicted with
ill-health for many years. She was a
member of the Presbyterian church
of this city. She belonged to the large
and well known Pound fumilyof Put
nam county, and has a largo circle of
attached relatives in her native
county. In this city, where she has
lived many years, she was greatly
beloved. She leaves a devoted hus
band aDd a loving son to mourn their
irreparable lose.
In Hfe inaugural address Gov. Till-
uiau of South Carolina dwelt with ad
mirable force upon the necessity which
the State Is uader to provide for the
education of its women. ‘‘There is,”
he said “imperative need for an in
dustrial school for girls in the State.”
This suggestion meets with great fa
vor i» South Carolina, and it is be
lieved the general assembly will fol
low the example of Mississippi 'and
Georgia and make provision for the
establishment of such a school. The
Charleston' News and Courier, in
seeking information on the subject,
obtained from Miss Jennie Thornley
Clarke, Mistress of Latin in the facul
ty, a brief but comprehensive paper
upon the history and the work of the
Mississippi Normal and Industrial
College. As the Georgia Industrial
Sciiool is soon to be put in opera
tion in this city, our readers are in
terested in everything relating to the
successful management of such an in
stitution. We copy elsewhere In this
paper, the article of Miss Clarke to
full. The directors of the Georgia
Normal and Industrial College for
Girls will meet iu this city next
Thursday to select a President. In
taking this first step in the organiza
tion of this gieat school the directors
will, of course, be careful to select a
man that is worthy and well qualified
for the important trust.
The Merriwether School.
The new academy building at Mer
riwether has been completed, and the
Trustees have employed Prof. L. S.
Mackswain to take charge. He is a
gentleman of experience and ability
and the trustees are fortunate iu se
curing his services. He was for
number of years President of the
Branch College at Tbomasville, and
succeeded Hon. S. D. Bradwell, the
present Sfate School Commissioner,
as principal of the Hinesville Acade
my. Prof. Mackswuin was in this
city last Saturday and we had the
pleasure of meeting him. The school
at Merriwether will open on Monday,
2Gth inst. It will be a first class school
iu every respect. Mr. W. I. Harper
informs us that, if pupils from a dis
tauce should desire to attend, board
can be had at low rates in families
living in tlie neighborhood.
Miss Aurie Brantly, of this city, an
accomplished and thorough musician,
has been elected teacher of music in

The Georgia Railroad.
The enterprise of the Georgia rail
road in putting on a fast mail train
on the Macon and Augusta road, is
appreciated by the traveling public
and business men along the route and
especially in this city. This train is
in addition to the regular schedule
previously operated and makes close
connection at Cainak with tli^fast
mail service from New York—Wing
ing us the mail from New York in
the quickest time. .This train is in
charge of Conductor Ahern, who
handles it with alacrity. The cars
are splendid and the service first class.
A through Pullman sleeper from New
York is attached. It reaches this city
from Augusta ot 10.41 a. ui. and from
Macon at 4.56 p. in. ,
This road now gives our city eight
passenger trains daily—four east and
four west. We trust this accommo
dating schedule will be us remunera
tive to the road as it is gratifying to
the people. Yet one thing is lacking,
it will take the erection of a new com-
, fortable and commodiousdepot build
1 ing in this city for the Georgia to
come up to the full hopes und expec
tations of this people.
