Yesterday morning Watson Brothers
commenced the work of tearing away
the old buildings on Jackson street
preparatory to the erection of the hand
some five story brick building of Mich
ael Brothers.
It took only a short while to tear
away the old lauodry.building whioh
was one of the oldest landmarks of the
city.
That old building has stood there for
sixty or seventy years and has seen the
town go up from a mere hamlet to a
magnificent and prosperous city.
But it must now give way to pro
gress and advancement and in its stead
will go up one of the handsomest build
logs in this section of the State.
Watson Brothers will pnsb the work
for all they are worth and have the
aew building ready for occupancy be
fore the fall trade season arrives.
‘‘That was one of the oldest bnildings
in tbe city,” said an old citizen to a
Banner reporter yesterday,as the work
of demolition was progressing.
The first use made cf it according to
another old citizen, was when it was
tbe residence of Mr. 8. J. Mayes. Mr.
Mayes was the proprietor of a little
■tore in a small wooden building on the
oorner below,. and lived in th6 old
ianndry building. Afterwards it be-
came tbe property of Hansell Dillard,
a free man of color. Hansell purchased
bis freedom from bis owner, and after
wards bought bis wife, old Aunt
Hopey, from Mr. Asbury Hull.
Hansell was quite wealthy for his op
portnnities. He owned a stable and
horseB and two or three drays. Hie
stable was on tbe corner now occupied
by Mr. Weatherly, opposite H ulnae’s
store. He also owned a baker shop and
confectionary store on tbe ground
where Mr. George Booth now has his
meat market.
Hansell made a great deal of money
on his confectioneries and drays, and
paid $1,000 for bis wife, old Aunt
Hopey. The totter took in washing
for the students, and in this way mod
considerable money, which waa put in
her husband’s business.
Hansell had in his employ a negro
named Dock GouHLng, belongirg to
Mrs Sarah Goulding. One morning
this boy came in a little late, and he
and Hansell bad a qusrrell, when Dock

May Take Up the White Caps in Ogle
thorpe County.
It was rumored on the streets yester
day that the Federal authorities would
take a band in the white esp business
in Oglethorpe county, and arrest ill

be made.
It will be remembered that Judge
Speer in the caaeB against Luther Hall
and his accomplices for the muj der of
Capt. Forsyth in Dodge county took
charge of them and tried and convicted
them in his oonrt.
Great interest now bangs upon the
prospective movements of the Federil
