HOME INSURANCE COMPANIES.

We have frequently urged the
Importance Of Encouraging and build
ing up all enterprises calculated to
increase wealth and keep money at
home; and believing that our com.
munity have generally realized the
necessity of capital to build up our
waste places, and knowing their
willingness 20 aid in all laudable
WAYS to retain and influence means
to this end, we cheerfully recon-
mend the plans of the Republic Life
Insurance Company to their consid-
GRAFTON.
This Company stands high in
Georgia, and among the list of stock :
holders are many Of the best men
we know.
The Republic Block in Atlanta is
an ornament to the State, and the
name of WIN. Goodnow, the South
ern manager, we hope at no distant
day. will be as well and as favorably
known in our town as il is in many
other localities where bis enterprise
and liberality in loaning the funds
of the Company are SO much appre-
ciated.
Read the advertisement of Mr., ,.
T. jenkins, Superintendent of Agen-
cies. We have only short ac-
auaintance with him, but can en-
dorse reports Of him, that "he p-
lyeciates d business mans time and
boyes no one with Insurance"
The Lagrange Reporter says:
"He is full of energy, pushes his
business, and is wonderfully success
full"
The Macon Daily Telegraph says I:
.sWe have known MR. Jenkins many
years and cheerfully recommend
him as a modest, intelligent, practi-
cal and energetic gentleman.
We also learn from the press that
he hopes to see the standard Of agents
elevatcd, and believes thereby LV1

ance now is. Many branches and
boards are in successful operation in
the State some Of our best citizens
here have taken policies, and we
hope Cobb county organization
will soon be perfected.

GEORGIA PROGRESS.

Col. Hardeman in his recent
speech at Columbus gave statistics
exhibiting the progress made in
Georgia, in material wealth since
the war and urged with great CO.
gency, the oply policy which can
rapidly accelerate that progress. -
He said Ia 1868 the lands in the
State were valued at $40, 000,0 900, or
50 per acre; in 1873, Slol, 000,-
900. Thus showing an increase in
five years of $50, 100000
City and town property showed
an increase during the same time Of
SiS,000,000; merchandise, So
600, 900; live stock, $l3,000,000 j;
household and kitchen property,
nearly 100000. Plantation prop
erty showed nominally decrease,
but this was an error owing TO the
fact that in years past articles were
included which are now entered UNI
der other heads. In sheep the State
showed a reduction, but he hoped
this would be remedied.
The State yielded twelve bushels
of corn per acre, and on this basis
he demonstrated that the increase in
six years had been four million bush
els.
The consummation devoutly to be
wished is for returns to show loss
in cotton and a gain in cereals
The last three years show 100000
to 100000 mere bales of cotton pro.
duced than before the war. The
State this season will show a pro-
duction of 100000 bales more
against the same time last year.
Some of our manufactures were
burned during the war yet the
State now has twenty>six cotton and
wooden factories against twenty in
1860, The State has now fourteen
iron foundries.
The State now shows total val
uation, after deducting the exemp>
tions, of $3.50, 100000, against
$l94, 100000 in 1865; showing
in six years an increase Of wealth of
$6s,000, 906-<of which So, 000,>
600 We're in land $4,000, 900 in
stocks.
1t is objected that though the
State has thus gained in wealth,
planters have not. Why I There
were railroad monopolists and capi>
tai extorionists before the war. -
They cannot be the causes, Be-
fore the farmers had their smoke
houses and corn cribs in Georgia /;
now they have them in the North
and West, They have planted so
much cotton as to reduce its price
and leave no margin, and by having
no rotation of crops, have deterio.
rated the fertility of the land.
He showed from returns that At.
Ianta alone had received $4,000
600 of Western produce for distri-
button in Georgia. That received
at Columbus (does not go by Allan.
tai, Savannah. and other points will
swell this amount to $4,000, 900 or

ATHENS, Ga, Feb. 14th, 1874,
EDS. JOURNAL | send you some
information relative to the State
College in connection with the Uni
versity here and which you can
give to your readers if you think
proper.
This College was endowed by the
land scrip given by United States.
There were many features at its first
organization which could not com
mend themselves; but under the ju-
dicious administration of President
Brown, it has so far got rid of these,
that its claims must be apparent to
those who are seeking an education.
1t does not pretend to give CLASH
cal course, but merely one in the
Mechanical Arts. 1t has schools OF
Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry,
Drawing, Engineering and the Mod
ern Languages. Agriculture is
taught by means of lectures and an
experimental farm. All students
are required to wear a uniform and
drill three times week. Students
are allowed all the privileges of the
libraries and the societies that be-
long to ard are in connection with
the regular University and besides
they are allowed to join any class
after having taken the required
studies in their college.
Board can be had on the campus
at $3.50. Tuition is free to as
many students from county as the
county has representatives in the
General Assembly. Any informa-
ton desired can be obtained by adj
dressing the President, w. Leroy
Brown.
In conclusion allow me to say that
Cobb County should have some rep
resentatives here pursuing that i'm
portant question of "Chemistry ap
piled to Agriculture"
