LEXINQTON, QA„ FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 8, 1898.
Second Crop Locust Blooms.
The tliwering locust trees
town are doiug decidedly the unusual
this summer—blooming a second time.
Their usual (lowering time is iu April
when they seemed to do their full
work of blooming and never before
were they known to repeat their work
and bloom so late as this date.
Water for Jail.
Tbe County Commissioners have uu
der consideration the advisability of
placing a windmill over the public well
on the square to pump water to be
used at tbe sinks in the jail and maybe
closets in the court-house. Water is
badly needed at these places aid this
might prove the most feasible plan of
obtaining it cheapiv.
All Glory to Them.
.
All glory to our brave seamen and
soldiers who are adding so much fame
to American valor, who arc so bravely
defending our nation’s honor and llag
upon altar as
a sacrifice to the cause of humauity.
Their deeds of valor will live after
them; their nation will ever be ready to
do them honor. They deserve every
mede of praise as does the watches,
clocks, etc., sold by Skiff, the jeweler.

A Good Flouring Mill.
You will notice the advertisemeut of
Watson’s mills on Broad river in an¬
other column. These mills have long
been famous for the excellency of
the grist .....______ they turn out, _ but „„„ having uaT
been thoroughly overhauled aud reno"
vated they will give even better satis
faction than heretofore. Mr. liob
Watson, who now has them iu charge
is a miller to the manor born. Ilis
equipment is sufficient to meet all de
mands made upon him
A Benefit to Fruit Growers.
As will be seen by a card elsewhere
in a new enterprise has been
started in Athens that should and will
prove beneficial to the fruit and enabling vege
table growers of this section,
them to readily dispose of their surplus
of those commodities. It is a canning Co^
They factory by the Rowland Canning
will pay good prices for fruits and
vegetables and want them in large or
small quantities. Correspond with
them if you liaye any to sell.
One Trip a Day.
The well that supplies water for the
Terminal engine having run short of
water has necessitated a curtailment of
services on the road for awhile. The
train will therefore make but one trip a
day, at noon, until the trouble can be
overcome which will doubtless be in a
week or so. During this time our
morning and evening mails will be car¬
ried by buggy leaving Lexington 7 a.
m. and 4 p. m. The railroad will
handle all freight and express the trip
it makes at noon of each day.
We Rest Next Week.
People of all other callings take re
spites from work in the summer and
why not printers? Their work is
as much or more confining than that of
any other calling. So it has long been
The Echo’s custom to give its force one
week of the summer. YVe will do this
next week and there will therefore be
day. no regular issue of the paper next Fri
We hope to come back from our
respite so much refreshed by our rest
as to give a better paper than if we
had not taken it and thereby more than
compensate our readers for their loss
of the missed issue.

dations in every respect for #2.00 ner
day with an extra lunch thrown in be¬
fore his guests leaye Saturday evening,
and besides offers his services to make

should furnish necessary tools to work

the different roads in our respective districts
put in better condition ; that we will receive
no road that is less than sixteen feet in width;
that we will bring about a better class and
condition of roads even if it requires the
working of hands subject to road duty Ihe
full limit of the law of fifteen davs.
Board Second, That we respectfully suggest to the
of County Commissioners that they
furnish at least six good picks or more if
the necessity of the case requires it, for each
district, the district commissioners becoming
responsible for the care and keeping, of said
tools.
After the adoption of these resolu¬
tions the meeting adjourned to meet
again on the first Tuesday in Septem

All present at this meeting showed
deep interest in the matter of improv¬
ing our public highways and it can be

of action and uniformity of methods of
improving working the roads which will result in
their condition the county

people are awaking to the importance
of better highways and any movement
that promises them will meet with very
little if any opposition.
Appropriated the Fourth.
The colored brother entirely appro
priated the glorius fourth hereabouts.
11 was a g® neral and universal holiday
w ' tb tbem and a large proportion of
them from hereabouts went to a big
barbecue and Sunday-school rally at
Crawford, where a large concourse
gathered from all over the county. A
game of ball was also scheduled to be
played between teams from Washing¬
ton and Crawford but it did not come
off. The crowd was orderly aud the day
passed of without unusual incident.
An Unusual Accident.
Little Howard Day came very near
I beiog killed in a quite unusual way at
Brook’s mill uear town the other day.
His sister was ironing near a window
which was some six or eight feet from
the ground, fn placing the iron on
the sill of the window it slipped from
her hand and fell out just as the boy,
playing on the outside, was directly
uuder it so as to recei/e the heavy mis
sle directly upon his head. He was
knocked senseless and had an uglv
gash cut in his scalp and for awhile it
was feared the blow would prove fatal,
but after an hour or so he regained
consciousness and after a day or so had
about recovered
Judge Alex’s Matinoe,
Monday morniug last ’Squire Frank
Alexander presided at the trial of
quite a youthful transgressor, whose
fighting strength and markmanship
with 8tones has caught the attention of
the courts and officers. The case
sounded on the docket, “The State vs.
Sweet Child; assault.” Saturday
night last “Sweet Child” inflicted an
ugly wound over the eye of another
tivpe negro boy with a large rock. For a
it wqs thought the Coroner would
be needed, hut all parties being color¬
ed were able to appear at trial Mon¬
day morning when “Sweet Child” on
account of his tender age, waa allowed
bis freedom again. “Sweet Child” is
a well known negro boy in Lexington
who evidently intend* to pull hemp
some day. He is not over ten years of
age and has already been into several

LAST CONFEDS. TO
They Were Paid off and Dis
missed at Woodstock.
Last Council of War Held in Capt. J. J
Daniel's Parlor by Gens. Breck
enridge and Duke.
Capt. J. J. Daniel, of Woodstock,
was in to see us Tuesday and of course
war was the leading topic. This topic
brought to mind an occurrence at the
close of the Confederate war of more
than passing interest that happened in
his house and grove.
It was nothing less than the formal
disbanding of the last organized ^ bodies
of Confederates. *
mands They woro remnants of the com¬
of Gens. aud
who had acted as body guard to
President Jeff Davis in his flight from
Richmond. Deeming it best that the
President should travel in a less con¬
spicuous manner and incognito his
guard had left him at some place in
Wilkes couuty.
Gen. Duke was the first to arrive at
Woodstock where he was to meet Gen.
Breckenridge. Tbe latter beiug some
hours behiud the appointed hour for
meetiug caused some uneasiness.
When he did put in his appearance he
reported being delayed by comiug near
having wTnch a tight with a body of Federate
he met in the road near what is
now Helena. When the two bodies
met neither was disposed to give room
for the other to pass and for awhile a
hand to hand coullict for right-of-way
was threatened.
Both the Generals and the other of
(leers of the commands dined with
(’apt. Daniel while the soldiers with
them rested and fed their horses in the
grove in front of his residence. A
council of war, and, doubtless the last
held by Confederates was held by the
officers in Capt. D.’s parlor, at which it
was determined to formally disband
both commands. After the council the
two Generals made feeling speeches to
their men in which they announced
that theirs was the last organized ■
bodies of Confederates. Capt. Daniel
says that both the officers and men
were deeply effected by the speeches
and the fact that they were to separate.
After the speeches the soldiers were
paid off and by night all had left for
their homes, going in all directions.
Capt. Daniel says that Gen. Bragg
also passed through Woodstock while
these troops were there but did not
stop. He was alone in a very dilapida¬
ted carriage.

urging the board of county commis

a bridge across Broad river at some
point on the line of Goosepond dis

availed much. YVhile such a bridge
would be a convenience to some good
