—lt I* Very generally acknowl

they ware. We have not heard of a
man who has plowed up and planted
over.
—Enough new iron safe* were

fore the Bishop.
—The largest wild cat ever seen la
this part of the country was eaaght
down on Little river, near Col. Belk
nap Smith’s, last Saturday. He was
started near Mr. W. A. Pope’s mill,
fjur miles from town early in the
morning, and after an all day chase
was caught ten miles on a direct line
from where th# chase began. Of
course he covered a good many more
than ten miles in the rscc. Mr.
Waldo Harris, two Fuuche brothers
and a negro man started in the chase
on foot, but all except the negro gave
out before it was over. One or tw#
fresh dogs were putin late in th day
or eiH the cat would not have been
caught. It was a most interesting
and exciting chase. The negro ilt a
high state of excitement and on a
swift run, ran by some hands at work
and being questioned, he only expen
ded breath enough te say “a wild cat,”
and swept by. The cat measured
four feet ten inches from the tip of
his nose te the tip of his tail, and had
very large claws
—A good deal of cotton has come
in this week in spite of the trite say
ing that there was no more in the
country. We will venture the asser
tion to our receipts will be about
thirteen thousand. This number was
considered large four years ago, as
we had never gone ever it before that
time.
—Tlie friends and acquaintances
of the Rev. W. L. Wootten, Jr., for
merly of this county, bnt now a
member of the North Georgia confer
ence, and pastor of Athens circuit,
Athens, Ga., will regret to learn that
on last Friday the parsonage, in
which he lives, two miles from Ath
ens, vm entirely consumed by tire.
Nothing was saved—not even a change
of clothing.
—Bishop Pierce says: “The most
notable marriage I ever performed was
that of Miss Sara Toombs, daughter of
Hon. Robert Toombs, and Mr. Dudley
M. Du Bose. The marnage took place
in Washington City, and waa attended
by President Bnehanan, the members
Of the cabinet, members of congress,
the full diplomatic corps, and n bril
liant array of the proudest people in
the land.”
-Mr. I. T. Irvin has s little dog
that has suckled and raised twe litters
ef kittens at different times. She
drove off their own mothers and took
entire charge ef thtm ; and would go
tethem every time she weuld hear
them cryiug. One litter ef kittens
she raised along with tome puppies,
but at another time when she had no
fauiily'ef her own,she actually suckled
the kittens and gave them suffl
eent nutriment. These facts are
theroughly verified.
—Bithep Pierce and Gen. Toombs
were classmates,and they have ever
been firm, true friends. Botii ei them
have illustrated the grandeur of hu
man inlellect, ami the power that it
tigs te influence human thought and
action. Their success—each in his
chosen field of labor, has been wonder
ful—ln part due lo great Intellectual
gifts, laithfully improved, and still
more largely due to a better and
brighter agency—their wives. Ask
them and they will admit it. The
truly great man is loss great than his
wife, aud is always honest enough te
admit it.—Macon Telegraph.
—This Is a favorite resort for com
mercial travellers. They luxuriate
here like mushrooms in a hot-bed.
They are charged n* tax and furnished
as good hotel accommodations as can
he feu ml in the stale. The inurehants
say thoy can buy goods cheaper
through them Ilian they can direct
from the wholesale bouses. The only
reason our merchants ever go on
North for goods is because they want
to see the different styles and assort
ments to select from. We think any
town makes a huge mistake when it
impose a tax on drummers. Wash
ington certainly flourishes uuder the
110-Ux system.
—“What has become of your rail
road ?” is a question that is frequently
asked us. Well, we haven’t given it
up by any means. The extremely
had roads of last winter made one of
our strongest arguments. This win
ter the roads from bere to Danburg,
at well as all the other couuty roads,
are in belter condition than thoy have
been be kuown at this season in many
long years, Tho great necessity for
this road will continue to be felt until
the capital and labor that now lias
the power, will be put in motion and
tho road built. All that is needed it a
little activity. In the moan time we
will lAee no opportunity to glvo the
enterprise n boost.
Them are very many people in
this county who are interested in the
matter of having onginoa and ma
chinery repaired and they will all be
glad to kiow that Mr. C. E. Smith
baa most competent workmen, and it
thoroughly prepared for this work.

served three years as a railroad en

OUR BUILDING BOOM,
Last year mere building was done
In Washington than the oldest inhab
itant could recollect ever having seen
in any one year before, and the pros
pects now are that this year will even
eclipse the oue just past in regard to
building. Larue quantities of lum
iwr and brick are made here aud in
the ceunty, and yet the demand can
not be supplied at home. Hardly a
train comes in that does not brings
one more carloads of these building
materials for this place. Most of these
brick are from Macon and are excep
tionally fine. The contractors and
carpenters are all kept exceedingly
busy, so much so that building often
has to be deferred. Hero is some of
tho work in dotail that is either now
under way, er will aoon be commen
ced :
Work on the new Baptist church,
perhaps the finest building ot its kind
iu the state, outside of the large cities
is going on very rapidly, and the
brick work will bo completed in a
few days.
Mr. E. Y. Hill’s handsome new
stable has just been completed. It is
painted slate color, trimmed in bright
red and is very much admired.
Mr, Pupcan Dußose has just com
pleted n neat new cottage ip the
suburb* of town on the railroad,
Mr. Toombs Dußose’s new residence
on n portion of the Waddy lot has
been Earned and is ready for the roof
and weatherboirfjipg- The plan ef
this house was drawn by the well
known architect W. W. Thomas of
Athons. It will be entirely modern,
with tastey gables, bay-windows and
finishings.
Mr. Charles H. Smith has th* car.
penters very vigorously at work on
what ie known as th* Marlow house,
opposite Mr. Dysons, and they will
completely transform and make anew
house of it,
Lumber and brick are being
haulod to Mr. H. O. Colley’s lot ap
posite the Female Seminary, whero
he will erects flue new residence a*
soon as the contractors and carpen
ters get some of their other work off
th’oir hands.
Mr. C. E. Irvin will thoroughly
remodel his residence, known as the
Dr. Heard place, and make it one of
the handsomest in town. It has natu
rally a very beautiful location, in a
very commanding position, and
surrounded by as fine a grove as there
js in tho stats.
Last Monday morning Mr. T. B.
Green broke dirt in digging for a
foundation for two brick store* that
Will be built immediately below
ih* post-office. One of them will be
occupied by tho post-office and a con
fectionery and the other by Dr.
Harper of Covington, Ga., who will
open a drug store in it about tb* first
of April. The brick and lumber for
these buildings is being hauled from
the depot,and as Mr. Green is known
a* one of the mo*t rapid builders in
this part of the country, wq do £u>t
think there are many weeks inter
vening between now aud the time
when there will be two mor* hand
some new store rooms in Green’s
block. As soon as these ato comple
ted and tho post-office moved, the
wooden building now occupied by it
will be torn down and two more new
•tores put up by Mr. Green on that
site. Aad we are inclined to the
opinioa that at no distant day Mr.
Green will erect on the corner be
low, which would be a magnificent
location, a modern and model hotel
building, one of (he few things our
town stands greatly in need of. We
have two well kept hotels, wc will re
mark in passing, but neither of the
buildings are what is demanded of a
town of tho commercial importance
of Washington. That such a build
ing would pay handsomely we think
is beyond question. Mr. Green has
spoken of building a hotel on this
silo, bnt has matured no plans.
Just across the street Mr. Jts. A.
Benton will this year extend hi* store
and nlso front ou this street as well as
on the square. Tine will make a strik
ingly fine storo room as it will have
a ceiling eightesn fest high like the
portion already complete*.
Going half-way round tho square
we come to the old Masonic build
ing, which has been bought by tho
county. This building will ho torn
down in the next mouth or two snd a
beantifui modern looking edifies erec
ted on tho spot for offices for clerk
and ordinary. Tho building will
contain two thoroughly fire-proof
vault* for th# public records. W
have seen |>lan ef the bnilding add
If this plan I* adopted it will certainly
prove satUfactory to all part'e* Inter
ested. It I* for two storici, and the
entrance te the lower story being
from an open corner, after the mod
ern style of architecture.
As soon as the workmen ran be ob
tained to get at tbe work,
Mr. Simpson will build three
more handsome new cottages on th*
saiac block, in front of the Washing
ton hotel, whsre he has just comple
ted one. The contract has been made.
The extension to St. Joseph’s Acad
emy is now lieing completed. This
makes a very large ami thoroughly
commodious building. These exten
sions have made till* building about
three times Us original size, and a* it
now quite a handsome ornament to
the town in its elevated position.
The trustees of the Methodist
church have sold a portion of the
parsonage lot to the Broad river cir
cuit,and a neat new circuit parsenage
wilt very soen be erected on this site
Soon and probably this year, an el
egant Catholic church will be built
ou the lot that extends out between
the two streets, in frout of St. Jo
seph’* orphanage. Thl* undertaking
is not merely In prospect, but it has
besu determined ou, and tlis mean*
that it will be built before * great
while.
There are enterprises ef similar
character coming to light every day
and they aro gratifying in tho ex
treme to every citizen who has the
good of tho town at hoart. These
are about as wholesome signs of the
prosperity of the place as you could
wish to see. A striking feature
about these new houses is that the
demand for them all is so great that
the paint on them is net allowed to
dry before the eager people are mov
ing into them. Truly the building
boom in Washington has grown to
immense proportions.
Mr. R. B. Askew, late Assistant
Postmaster at Baltimore, said some
time ago: “Having had occasion to
.try Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup, I un
hesitatingly pronounce it the best
remedy I have over used. Asa small
bottle relieved me of a severe cold.

At (his time, whsn malice and ig
norance are slandering The Louisi
ana Stale Lottery Company, those
who believe In justice and mr play
will read With interest tho follow
ing from the pen of General Jubat A.
Early, wliese veracity was never
questioned. Read what he has say:
“Mr. If. A-Dappljlu, the president
of The Louisiana Stale Lottery
pany, resides in New Orleans, which
has been his placo of business for
many years; and he is universally es
teemed as a gentleman of high char
acter. Cor the correctness of whatev
er lie publishes in regard to the oper
ations of the Lottery Company I am
wilting to vouch. The drawings of
the Lottery, semi-annual and month-'
ly, are under the sole and exclusive
control ef Gen. Beuregard and my
self, the official) of the Lottery Com
pany having nothing to do with them,
except UtfVrAUh ut with requisite ma
terial and facilities ; and we take
especial care that the drawings
are published precisely as they take
place.
“I may say here that there are many
people who cannot understand how
It is that, when the/ have bought
five, ten, fifteen, or twenty tickets,
they have drawn nothing. It is only
necessary to say of those who do buy
tickets, there must necessarily be a
very great many who draw nothing.
If it were aot so, no ono would ho
fool enough to establish a lottery.
Where a man by spending teu dollars,
stands a chance of drawing $150,000
$50,000, $20,000) and various other
prizes of smaller amounts: or, by
s{lending five dollars, can draw $75,-
000, $25,000, SIO,OOO, and various
other prizes down to $25, he must
not lie surprised if he fails after ta
king many chances. It is a natter
of chance or luck enthwly.
“Gen. Bsauregard and myself hard

Under the hot sun of August, 1882, the village of
Dover, N, Y,, lay still us the sphinx in Egypt, while
Elijah Sharp, of that place, slowly aud softly spoke
of the past. "Yes,” he said, “I was in tho army
and saw many of tho sights of those fearful years.
I wa* finally discharged from inability, resulting
from suuHtroko. I came home, miserable in health
and spirits; so enfeebled that I took cold on the
slightest exposure. Life seemed worthless to me;
I lived only in memory.”
‘■That was sad enough," I 3aid dividing mv last

over it. Outgrow it? Not exactly. When in that
condition I began taking Parker’s Tonic, and my
nealth commenced to improve right away. I waa
astonished at it. and *o was my wife. I piled on
the flesh and could oat anything. My ambition
blazed up. I could attend to business, and now

myself to the hot *im-I am as well aa I was tho
