George Cade.-Mr Cade is of Eng
fish origin. He was born in the city
of London, on Inauguration day, Mar.
4, 1929. The fifty years ofactive life
that have been meted out to him have
not ahated the vigor of manhood, and,
from present indications. he has the
prospect of completing the three score
and ten years allotted to man. When
three years old, his father, (who is
now ninety years old, and vigorous
for that age) removed to Monmouth,
New jersey. With the exception of
few years residence in New York, he
continued in New Jersey with bis fa>
Their, who, being a practical mechanic,
there learned the milling business. In
1855, he went to California and was
engaged in mining operations, where
his knowledge of mechanics came into
requisition in overcoming the obstacles
presented by the Typography of some
sections of the country, necessary t.
obtain the precious metal. His gooc
constitution, upheld by temporal,
life, his indomitable perseverance
could not fail of appreciation by those
with whom he was associated, either
in a business or social relation. Re-
turning home to Long Branch, he
concluded that this would be q desira.
bic point to locate, and in 1874 with
his family removed to Milan and COM
menced the erection of a planning mill
in connection with a cotton compress,
in the northeastern portion of the
town, on the l.. " n. road. In view
of the necessity OF lumber for his plan
ing mill, he also erected saw mill
about four miles from this point, at
Waterford, on the c.. St. L. q n. o.
road. He is one of our most estima>
ble citizens, energetic, prompt, and of
answering honesty. He pursues his
purposes with an intelligence and de-
votion that will surely be rewarded
with success. AS Il citizen, he is an
acqui, ition to this community, and all
who know him recognize his sterling
worth. He is one, who having put
his hands to the pillow will not turn
back. 1t is the undoubted interest of
communitie; that desire progress to
encourage and assist in all WAYS such
men. A few such energetic men in
our town would soon create and push
forward industries in our midst that
would cause Milan to increase in all
the elements of material wealth and
induce capital to seek here an in"est
ment, commensurate with the advan-
tages offered by our railroad facilities,
present and to come. Laboring I'M
