La Grippe is no respector of per sons. Mr W A. Walker will (?et baek from Atlanta to-day with a car load of mules. The first element of success in an> town is n liberal patronige of the local press.

The man who is too busy to wrUe route when he will have nothing to tio. i brick work of tlie Georgia- Normal and Industrial crfllege for trirls in this city, is almost com pleted. It will be an imposing edi fice. , Work on “Treanor’s Mill, n owned by W. T Conn & Co., waa sus- psnded last week. Five, , . seven workmen engaged in making repairs, were sick. Messrs M. and J. R. Hmes erect a two story brick building on Hancock street, on the vacant lot east of their present store. 1 he work is to be commenced at once. The death of Judge K. C. Ramsay causes a vacancy in the county Hoard of Education which will he filled by the Grand Jury at the ap nroacliing session of the Supenoi proao Court. We invite attention to the ailver tisement. in another column, of tlie sale of real estate by J. t. assignee of 8. F. Hancock, will take place before the Court House door on the first Tuesday in February 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.

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.
