A PLAN FOR WATERWORKS The fire of Tuesday will long be known as the largest since Nov 17, 1864, when our village was a victim of the chances of war. Nearly four years ago we called the attention ol our people to the favorable situation of our town lor securing an abun dant supply of pure water, for do mestic and manufacturing use, and also for fire protection, and we hope that the last serious misfortune will protect us from the gibes and jokes then leveled at us. The stream that rises on the farm oi Mrs. P. M. Compton, 3 miles west of town rufl4 through the farm of Barkley Brothers and J. R. Respres Bnd has near the residence of Capt. Watson a fall of several feet at a very narrow gap between bills, mak ing a most favorable location for a dam. We would Tuggest as before the purchase of the entire drainage basin of this stream. Allow no pas turage or human hab tation within it, abandon the soil to nature, and in ten years the water at flood times would be tlear and bright. This stream is as large as the or.e from which Atlanta was supplied to with in the last few months, and would always be sufficient for our town. A pumping station placed at the dam above mentioned, and a 6-inch pipe line laid to the top of the hill north of the residence of Mr. Lane, to a stand pipe of steel on a brick tower forty feet high, and a main run lrom there to Main, or Third street, which lays alrrmsi its entire length on the top ai the divide be tween Yellow Water and Sandy creeks, thence extending aloHg said street far enough to protect Gil more’s planing mill, would also pro tect the depot, cotton platform, Plunketts planing mill, the railroad warehouse and Jackson Oil Mill. With latteral mains running down hill north, while other latteral pipes running north and south, would protect warehouses, residences and property and furnish two fountains for the courthouse square. Would not cost, figuring roughly, over S4O - It seems that the Democratic vic tory of last year has been turned over to the Republicans. They are carrying almost every election this year. President Cleveland aays that he is naturally fond of Georgia and nothing would gratify him more than to visit Augusta. He may possibly attend the Exposition at that place some time in December. Money at interest grows like the green bay tree. A century ago Ben jamin Franklin left $5,000 to the city of Boston to be left on interest 100 years. Principal aud interest now aggregate $125,000. A portion ot this, about SIOO,OOO. is to remain on interest another century. If thi rate of increase is the same in th* future the fund will approximat< $10,000,000 in the year 2000. The Sunday achools of our tow. while fairly well attendemled, ar not so much so as should be. Th s. s a matter which has to do with both time and eternity, and an indi vidual matter also. Three score years and ten is but a small time indeed in which to make prepara tions for eternity. Now. sh'uld we lose any of these precious moment?, how can we possibly make them up. Parents, be watchful of your chil dren’s everlasting iubrcSt. G.ve them the henefit of all the means ot salvation. STAR STORE ADMIMSTKiTO f S SALE.
