Last and this week’s work makes us
coufident that it will not belong before
the people of the above enterprising

a large number of hands now at work

the junction of another line branch
road. \V e feel like we can almost
bear the whistles blowing and the bells
ringing and the conductors calling for
tickets now. We are glad to know
that the road is a certainty.

The Earthquake.
The entire earth was in a quake last
Tuesday night about nine o’clock. It
was felt Were in five or six different
shocks, the first being the heaviest.
The tops of some chimneys were shak¬
en off. Chickens were shaken so they
left their roosting plaeas. People were
panic-stiicken, a great many fleeing
to the streets for fear the tottering
buildings would fall. The roaring of
the earth seemed as though a train of
cars were upon us. There was hardly
a person but that heard and feared
this terrible shake. The colored meet¬
ing was in progress and the preacher
was lett alone in his pulpit, the audi¬
ence taking refuge in the street. News
from every city iu the Union tells
about the same story of terror. Iu
Augusta a heartrending scene was j
looked upon, i-uildings were cracked
and ceiling fell in all parts of the city. I
Every citizcu was in the streets fright
ened almost out of life. Women, chil
ctren and strong men, falling upon
their knees and offering up prayers to
God for help. It was a trying time
and a time that presented to the world
the n*ed of repentance. Oh! that the
r* thing again re ne, such \ experl a wicked rf state rf as
the world now seems.
Charleston is a total wreck. All the
principal buildings shaken to pieces,
and the streets are a solid mass of de
bris. A number of people killed and
a large number wounded. The dam
age to property in that place is esti
mated at $5,000,000. It is stated that
the ground is full of fissures and that
a powdery sand is seen thereabout.

WHITE PLAINS ATOMS.
BY L. II.
The weather for a number of days
this summer has been intensely hot
you krow, and this reminds me of
what I heard a sable friend say a few
days ago. The hot weather reminded
her of what she had heard of the heat
of the “lower regions,” and she said:
“’Taint as hot as ’tis down dar, for
dey tell me dat it’s hot ’nough down
dar to melt rocks.”
They are, this week, to begin haul¬
ing lumber preparatory to the building
of the Baptist church. A new resi¬
dence, a new store, new church and
a railroad. Pretty good for White
Plains; isn’t it?
Rev. M. W. Lewis, Mr. W. P. Mc
Whort* r, Dr. Ed Adams, Mr. Alex.
Smith and lion. Jas, B. Parks, candi¬
dates for the legislature and senate,
were here on the 21st.
Capt. T. T. Eason, a Gordon man,
0 f our town, has written some stirring
verses in the grand old General’s praise,
but I forgot that this will not be ap
preciated by the Baconites of the
Deeocrat. It was slip of the
tongue. Excuse me and I’ll offend no
more. [It sets alright with us
now, “L. II.” IFe are now Gordon
ites, if not by choice.—Ed.]
They have at last begun work on
r* •** - tave
grading for several days but we are
not yet certain that it will ever reach
White Plains. For my part I am not
going to look for it until I bear the
whistle blow.
Mr. A. J. Eley is expected this week
and will either bring goods from Eat
on ton, or will wait and buy a fall
stock from Atlanta or Augusta I pro
sume. It has already been mentioned
n these columos that he would begin
merchandising here this fall. It is
thought that he will bring a bride
with him when he comes.

“Some years ago,” said the doctor In

of inflammatory rheumatism, which
broughr me down upon my bed and en¬
tirely inticipated me for business.
“The disease appeared to have a lien
on my system, and all I could do did not
dislodge it. lliinnieiitt’s Rnenmatlc

took it. In a day after beginning Its u«o
I began to improve, and in five or six
days I was entirely free from pain and
able to resume mv business. 1 believe
what J told Mr. Iliinnicutt at that time,
that h's cure is the best medicine the
world lias been offered for rheumatism.
“When I was In the wholesale drug
trade Zeilln, the “ Liver Regulator man,”
of Philadelphia, and Simmons, the. “ Liv¬

a newspaper row in the Mouth, and on ac¬
count of my position toward the jobbing
trade each of them was very desirous of
getting a certificate groin me. J was ap¬

through my friends, hut refused every
time. Finally one of them made me an
