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 although Mr. Bargeron bad been in bad 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 leaves many friends and relatives to mourn his death. At Perkin’s Junction, yes'erday (Friday) morning, Mr. Jim Rodgers, son of Mr. Rufus Rodgers. Mr Rod gers was employed as c erk at the store of Perkins & Bio , at that place and was about 19 years of age. —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.
