one is spoken of. Let us have pure,
health-giving wa'er and nine-tenths of
tBe sickness of Waynesboro would dis
appe-ir, and its popu ation would double
in five years. Several gentlemen living
in the country have geuoi ously offer d
to make 1 beral donations for this good
work, and we i«re satisfied it can be
done without oppression to uny citizen
of the fdace. We hope our authori ses
ft it uoi let the project flag or fail.
A GREAT NEED.
If there ever was a town which need
ed banking facilities. Waynesboro is
that town, For while its business trans
actions amount to a million or more
dollars per amnm, with margin for an
unlimited increase, a check or a draft
on the best firm in the United States
becomes almost a nuisance from the
fact that it is almost an impossibility to
get an insignificant ten dollar check
cashed, an then only ex gratia. Any
paper touching the hundreds must remain
on the hands of the owner, no matter
how pressing a use there may be foi
the money, until time and opportunity
can be found and expense incurred to
send or carry it to Savannah or Au
gusta to have it cashed. Our business
men are cempelled to keep their repos-
its in one or the other of these cities—
paying the carrying expenses both ways
— and send for lnr^e amounts at one
time to meet their business necessities,
which money must be kept in (he r
private safes at the risk of being bur
glarized by some expert “ciacksman.”
Gentlemen of small means must keep
their deposits in their vest pockets--
These are facts, undeniable,inisputatile,
while it must be admitted that a bank in
Waynesboro would he a g-eat oonven
i< nee, and would be a paying institu
tion to the stockholders. Tho vo’unu*
of business transacted, 1 Be commercial
importance, the growth and prosperity
of all i s interests demand banking fa -
cilities for our lit. le city. There are
a sufficient number of gentlemen in our
town and county with ample means to
form a solid, subs f antial sto -k company,
and furnish every dollar of the capital j
needed, and we hope libs needed enter- I
prise will be taken under advisement
and carried into immediate aud full
effect.
DIED.
At the residence of Mr. r . W. Hurst,
in this pla e, on Tue day night last, Mr
R. Bargeron Thus another of ;he sud
den deaths which Inve so often marked
ou n mortuary rpports for this year ; for

health for some months, he was well
enough to bo on the s'reels on last Sat
urday, but his disease taking a bad turn,
he on Tuesday night d ed. Mr. Bar-
geron was a n& ive of this county, was
a good and industrious citizen, end

—At “Miller’s Corner,” in Augusta,
will be found the great dry goods empo
rium of Mr. .James Miller, who has lung
sinr-e well earned well deserved the nano-
of “The Old Reliable.” Mr. Miller is
one of oldest busines men of Augusta,
and as each new season comes it finds
‘‘The Old Reliable” at Miller's Corner,
with a m gnificent s'oek of dry goods
to suit the times and fashions of the day.
Mr. Miller has now in store one of the
largest, handsomest and most varied
stocks of dry goods 1o be found in the
city, and he is offering them at the low
eat, prices that reliable goods and a
most reasonable profit will adin't. In
calling attention to Mr. Miller’s adver-
tisement. to be found in another col
umn, we do so feeling that we are recom
mending a man whose word is his bonJ,
and upon which we a ways implicitly
rely. When our readers go to Augus
ta to buy dry goods, th y need go no
further han Mil er’s Corner,as they will
find no better place :n the whole city.
— At several post-offices in the co n-
ty, our suoscribers c< inplain that they
do not get their papers with any regu
larity. This is a ve-y great annoyance
both to us and our subscribers, and
while we do not wish to say a harsh
word, wo must ask oar couVrv post
masters to he more careful in the dor
livery of our papers. If we are forced
to speak on this subject again, we shall
be compelled to speak pla ; ner.
