BYRD LOVETT BUYS BROOKS’ SPRINGS. THE COUNTY FAIR. HAN WAS THOUGHT TO BE DEMENTED Last Friday night a white man was found acting mysteriously near the home of Mrs. Wicker on the Tennille road and Officer Seales was called upon to make an arrest, which he did. In response to the officer’s inqui ries the man replied in unintelligable answers, but asked as to why he was taken into custnday and about a trial. lie gave his residence as Washington City, Boston aijd Savannah nt different times and his name as Edward Welch, this name and a Boston address being written in a ■dear, plain handwriting in pencil in a memorandum book carried in his pocket, which indicated a training in youth for a useful life. There was no other writing in the book except what seemed to have been a record of time at work recently. There was strong circumstances which indicated that the man’s mind had become unbalanced, though some advanco the theory that he may have been wanted for some desperate crime and preferred death to fac ing the charge. But as there is no proof of the latter view and there aro some circumstances strongly pointing to a disordered mind, this proba bly caused the rash act. In some far away home there may be and doubtless are, those who love the wanderer and the suicide. We can not say, but we prefer to believe that the dead man’s act was committed while temporarily insane, caused it may be, by despondency or posssibly by the remorse of finding himself locked in prison for idling and loitering among strangers, without money and without friends—and without hope.

Lovett. Jr.,of thiscity, had purchased Brooks’ springs, Washington county’s famous resort and that im provements would be begun there Im mediately. The value of the Brooks, spring water has long been recognised but sufficient accomodations could not be obtained for the large crowds who would visit the springs In summer and it will be gratifying news to our people generally that Mr. Lovett will build a sufficient number of cot.tnges to accom modate the people as well as a suitable hotel for the general public. Washington’s Delegation Off To Atlanta. lion. L. A. Graybill, senator from this district, Hon. 0. I. Duggan and Hon. J.Frank Walker, Representatives from Washington county went up to Atlanta Tuesday to be present at the meeting of the Generul Assembly, yes terday. No'county in Georgia is represented by a delegation held in higher esteem by the people and all of our citizens feel justly proud of our delegation. Senator Graybill is not a candidate for any office, but his strength in the county is recognized by every one to be almost irresistnble. Messrs. Duggan and Walker will both be returned to the legislature next term without opposition. The County Fair Association will meet next Tuesday and actual work will be begun on the Fair Grounds and park! This does not mean that any efforts will be abandoned to got up more money for the Enterprise, but it just means that the actual work will soon be under way. The officers have been some what interested in a battle with “General Green” at home of late and the parties interested in San- dersville have been busy talking about w'mt a nice Clmutnuqau we had and not so much active work has boon done, but every time we seeanyoftho committees we are reminded that the Fair will b 0 held as scheduled and that no fear is entertained but that the park will be a reality soon and that generous citizens oftho coun ty are rapidly coming to the sup port of the movement.
