Number 2 IPPROPRIATION FOR DORMITORY. |For G. N. & <• College Recommended by Governor Terrell. |4 lu hi . message to the Geueral Asseui i,'jv last Wednesday. Governor Terrell, lhas the following to say concerning the state Institutions located in this city: The Girls Normal and Industrial Col- ege has had a most successful year. Ihappell Hall, the academic budding now in progress of construction, will erve to relieve somewhat the demand | for class room. The crowded condition Lf tiie dormitories, and the fact that labout one hundred girls were turned ivav last year on account of meager dormitory facilities, strongly appeal for additional dormitory to accommodate i* [at least two hundred and fifty gu^' rrhisis one of the most urgent martfrs leonnected with our educational institu- |tions that will be presented to your con sideration. And I therefore recoin I mend an appropriation sufficiently large |to meet the necessities of the college. state sanitarium. Through the means of personal inspec tions are frequent conferences with the trustees and officials of the Sanitarium I have kept in close touch during the year with ttiis institution. The money apiropriated for its maintenance lias been most economically expended. The daily per capita cost for the last year was less than 38 1 -2 cents, as against 331 -2 1 the previous year. In view of the in- | creased oost of provisions, clothing, and everything used in a well regulated Sau- | itariuui, this is a remarkable showing. The report of the trustees and the I superintendent elearly sets forth the needs of the Sanitarium. I desire to specially commend to your consideration | the following recommendation: “The board would again call your at tention to the hopeless condition of the Heeblt -minded or defective children mi lder sixteen years of age, and numbering 160, now routined in the Sanitarium for llaek of proper provision for them else- I where. The only door of hope open to them lies in a training school, where by I scientific methods some few of them I may possibly be fitted in some measure | for self-support. No more pathetic Jsiglit is to be seen iu this institution I than these helpless little ones, and the lboard earnestly craves for them the one leliance left them. Such a scleocl should Ihave no connection with an asylum |forjthe insane.” A number of states have -schools of I this character, and lutury feeble-minded |or defective children are so trained as to be made self-supporting. Much can >e done towards reclaiming them by a proper system of education and <tf men tal exercise, and it is deplorable to con sign them without effort upon one part r° G y ee of hopelessness, which Is iuevit- »ble if they are left to the charge of na tural development only. I therefore Fuggest that a suitable committee or fommission be provided for the purpose pt investigating such schools in other i n . s ’ w “ ere they have been succcss- luily operated, with the view of estab- pning one in Georgia. A NARROW ESCAPE. Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Ennis and Miss Annie Lee Ennis Injured By a Runnaway Horse. GEORGIA MILITARY COLLEGE. Tbe Road Journey of the Base Team Altogether Satisfactory. Ball Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Ennis of Wash ington county and Miss Annie Lee Ennis, of this city had a narrow escape last Wednesday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Ennis were returning to their home accompanied by Miss Ennis. When the branch just this side ofjMedlin hill was reached, Mr. Ennis loosened the check rein, so as to water his horse, as the animal finished drink ing lie became frightened by some ouo driving up behind them. He shook the bit from his mouth and began running.

His nose was broken, and he was considerably bruised about the head and shoulders.

Ross, of Hillsboro, and Mrs. Nettie B. Ross, of Macon, were united in marriage in the parlors of the Milled geville Hotel last Sunday morning, Rev. Joel T. Daves officiating. Mrs. Ross, and Dr. Ross accompanied by Miss Kate Ross arrived in tiie city on the ten o’clock Georgia railroad traiu. and were met at the depot by Mr. Roy Alford, who accompanied them to the hotel. Mr. Alford then secured the marriage license, and the sendees of Dr. Daves, and the ceremony uniting their lives was soon performed. There is a romantic tinge about thbk marriage which makes it quite interest-, ing to the people of this city, as the event recalls the tragic deatli of Henry Ross, which occurred last Angusb. It will be remembered that Henry Rossfell from a Georgia railroad train near this city and was killed. His remains were brought here, and it was several days before tliey were identified. Mrs. Ross was tiie widow of Mr. Henry Ross, and Dr. Ross was hi®, brother.
