They took a turn at planting that
they will likely have to tako over
again later on.
—Miss Kate Harper,after apondinga
pleasant Christmas with the‘‘old folks
ae home," returned last Saturday to

—Mr. T. C. Hogue is haying

—Steve Tinson. a colored deacon in
Mulberry church in this county, was
brought to town Wednesday and
lodged in janl, charged with using
tiie funds of the church (about twen
ty dollars) for his own bonetit.
—Mr. Cook, master-machinist, and
Mr. Hemphill, master of transporta
tion, on the Georgja railroad, were
here last Monday on a tour of inspec
tion. Mr. Cook, who lias been con
nected Willi the Georgia road for
more than thirty years, was never in
Washington before.
—lt is always a hard matter to get
up elccton imanages to open tho polls
at this precinct even in elections
where considerable interest is mani
fested. It was quite late in the day
when the polls were opened for the
county election last week, and it was
the same way last Monday.
—Mr. T. Harwell Green is having
a good brick and cement pavement
laid the full length of his block from
liis store down to the corner. This
is enterprise that is highly commend
able, and an improvement which tho
town appreciates very groatly. Tho
brick arc double size and were burned
in the center of a kiln by Captain
Maguire.
—During the present year Mr. E.
Y\ Hill proposes to build on the site
of his present homo a very handsome
brick residence. He is a gentleman of
lino taste, and will build such a house
as will be highly ornamental to the
town. lie will probably move his
present residence to a different place
on his targe lot, and rent it. Bo (lie
outlooK for the building boom to con
tinue is very flattering.
—A wooden box tilled with hot
ashes was carolessly placed in the
hall upstairs in the Wynn building
last Mondry,by a negro boy who wait
ed on one of the sleeping apartments,
and tho next morning the box and
floor were discovered to be on fire. A
hole was burned entirely through the
floor and (be washboard of the wall
was considerably charred. It wgs the
narrowest kind of an escape from a
serious conflagration.
—Quito a number of residences
liavo been built in Washington dur
ing tho past eighteen months, but the
demand for thorn is even greater now
than it was when this building began.
Some small douses have two families
in them, who have to submit to in
conveniences wlnlo they wait for
building to be done. Dr. Russ, our
new druggist, says lie is surprised to
find there is not a dwelling in Wash
ington that can be rented, and that
too after so much building lias recent
ly been done hero.
—A carload of cotlon is shipped
now and then from Ficklen depot on
the branch road, direct to markets
that are far removed from ns; while
cotton is shipped on the railroad from
just this side oftho river and mark
eted in Washington. Our town is a
market that is highly appreciated by
people who live three and four
.times as far ofT as tho people just be
yond Liltle river, and yet owing to
to the want of one bridge over this
small stream, we do not get a bale
of cotton from across the river. There
arc no facilities for wagoning direct.
This is a very suicidal policy, as our
town and county are losing consider
ably every year by not being able to
to compete for tho trade of that sec
tion. A wagon road be opened
up and a wagon bridge built across
Little river near tho railroad bridge.
Prof, Jasper G. Clark, the reliable
piano tuner, who does, we believe,
all the work in this line about here,
arrived in town this week, lie is at
the Washington hotel, and ail orders
will he promptly attended to. His
time is lie is agent for the
best pianos and organs.
