Saturday evening last, the remains of
Mrs. W. B. Jackson, who was a daugh¬
ter of Mr. Frank Jenkins, formerly of
this county, and niece of Mrs. W. W.
Berry, was brought here from Atlanta,
where the soul had left them the night
before, and buried at the family bury¬
ing ground in Simston district. Of her
the Constitution says:
“Mrs. Jackson was a lady of of many
accomplishments, and one the most
devoted Christian workers Atlanta lias
ever known.
“To the earnest and t ireless exertions
of this most excellent lady is due the
success of the Marietta street mission.
Five years ago she became a teacher at
the mission, and since that time, until
her health failed, worked for tbe suc¬
cess of the mission.”
Mrs. Jackson left an infant reached only two
weeks old, and the father At¬
lanta only j iust. in time to see it breathe
its last. Tmat its body, like its soul,
might be with that of its mother, he
brought its remains and laid them to
rest beside the recently made grave, ar¬
riving with it Tuesday evening.
Mr. Jackson is au ex-citizen of this
county, blit has lived in Atlanta for the
past eight years, where as a contractor

SIX AT A TIME.
Is Probably the Way Houses
Will be Built Here.
SEVERAL GENTLEMEN IN A POOL
To Get the Buildings Cheaper. The
Meson Property to be Cut Into
Lots and Sold Outright.
There are as many as six gentlemen
in Lexington, some already with fami¬
lies and some who hope to have them,
who have been contemplating the erec¬
tion of homes for some time. They
have time and again figured on the cost
of the houses wanted and have as often
abandoned the idea because to build
one cottage so larfrom the lumber and
other markets for necessary material
would cost more than they felt warrant¬
ed in paying. But at last a scheme has
builders been suggested which by one help of the the would-be
may whole
number over this disadvantage. It is
proposed that the six go in together,
buying the with material in large lots, make
a contract one builder to do the
work, employ an architect to draw up
the plans and superintend the construc¬
tion. By this means it is thought that
each buiidingcau lie made to cost twen¬
ty per cent, less than to build it inde¬
pendently', and there is no reason why
such should not be the case. Buying
the material in large lots will enable
the buyers to got a good percent, off;
shipping it in car-load lots will greatly
lessen the freights, and a contractor
taking six buildings do to build in a lump
can afford to 1 lie work at greatly re¬
duced prices. Those interested are
enthused over the scheme and we con¬
fidently hope and expect to see it ma¬
terialize.
this There is still another advantage in
scheme. One of the prospective
builders lifts inquired into the matter
and says be can borrow a sullicienl
amount of money to build the six cot¬
tages at a six per cent, rate of interest,
the completed houses and lots being
taken as security for the loan. If this
can he done it will give the builders
the advantage of having the ready cash
to pay for material and work which will
further insure low prices.
In this same connection there is an¬
other scheme talked of. The fact that
so much of the property around Lex¬
ington belongs left to the Meson property,
which was by the founder of our
academy in trust for that institution,
and which could he obtained only by
lease, has always been a drawback to
the upbuilding of the town. This prop¬
erty desirable comprises building a number of the most
lots in town, but
from tbe fad that they could only be
leased very few of them have been im ¬
proved. It is now proposed to go be¬
fore the courts and get an order to sell
this property of outright, since us it is a
greater part it is dormant, bringing
m no income to the academy. It ibis
can be done it will throw a number of
excellent further building lots upon ibe the market,
and will enable parties who
contemplate going their into the building
pool lo carry out already intentions.
In all this vve begin to sec
the effects of the railroad, its early
completion being the main instigator
thereto. Before it became a certainty
ho one wanted to buy property in Lex¬
ington and many of those who already
owned were anxious to get rid of it at
any price. The road is not yet com¬
pleted and we see property in demand
and owners not wanting to sell at all.
Already the increase in the valuation
of property lias been as much or more
than the cost of the road, and when the
vacant lots around town begin lo be ini
Lexington proved Ihe increase making will he still greater.
Is no great blow
about it, but she is unmistakably enter¬
ing upon a veritable boom.

A SUNDAY-SCHOOL CELEBRATION.
The School at Niilem, Oconee County, In¬
vite* School* in (IiIn Comity to I*artioli>ato»
The annual celebration of Sunday
schools at Salem, Oconee county, will
be on Thursday, the 1st day of August,
issi). We want each school to bring
their baskets and to have a programme
of one speech, one essay and otic song
for the occasion, and to arrive at Salem
by half past eight or nine o’clock a. in.;
as so many schools will consume much
time before they can get through. Our
arbor will be much larger than last year
and better arranged. We will have
barrels of water kept cool at convenient
places for the multitude. Lemonade,
confectioneries, fruits on the grounds.
A table that two thousand people can
stand around and feast. We also have
an officer of the day with guards to
keep would everything quiet and peaceable.
We state that the church will be
closed all hut one door, at that we will
have a door-keeper, who will receive
the baskets, boxes, etc., in that door,
so that those that bring provisions need
not fear any molestation. The excel¬
lent Warsaw hand will he, on hand to
discourse good music. The following
schools are respectfully invited: iberty,Goshen,

A PLEA FOR COTTON BAGGING,
Ami a NiiuMCHtlon lliai a :Hiinn MuiKIiik at
Non«£lliii ih’d I'Mrimirn bo Hold.
Mr. Editor:— ll will soon be time
for the merchants to lay in their stocks
of bagging and lies, and I would like
to make a suggestion to the people oil
the subject.
The bagging trust lias an overplus
of last, year’s of about sixteen
million yards of jute bagging on band,
and now they have bought all the avail¬
able supply of jute huts and seem to
think that all this racket about cotton
bagging will soon din out, and then they
will have everything struggle their own the way.
This is a mighty for mas¬
tery between the struggling masses of
our Sunny South on the one side and
the giant monopolists of the North this and
West on the oilier. Last year trust
robbed the Southern farmers of millions
of hard-earned money and now when
we have got au article in tbe cotton
bagging that will answer than the every jute the purpose
as well or better peo¬
ple should lock shields and give the
bagging trust a Waterloo frohi which
they could never recover.
The Farmers’ Alliances all over the
country are ordering the cotton bagging who
now, bill there are many farmers
do not belong lo the alliance, but and they
are, interested in this struggle will
buy the yoUi.o bagging suggestion if they that can I wish get
it, and now Ibe
lo make is ibis: That a mass meeting
of the farmers and business men of the
county be called lo meet in Lexington
on July Bib to discuss this matter that
is of such great importance, to us all.
Georgia, wil millions limit a murmur, pays pension an¬
nually three dollars to told
Union soldiers, but when we are into
that we must tilt: nay millions more
the coffers of money kings of those
same slates for which we will receive
not one cent in value our manhood re¬
volts as we answer never, never. We
would like to ’near from others on this
subject and write this to stir up some
interest in the matter of united effort
upon (lie part of the people to give this
monster oppressor of the people aldack
eye. J. B. C.
June 17th, 1889.
