\esterday wc noticed nn aged
“uncle" who carried the worst
mixed up load of any man in town.
In his left hand was a bundle of
firewood, in his right an car ol
corn, in one pocket a sample ol
cotton, on his shoulder a sack ol
miscellanies, with other articles
too tedious to mention stored
about his person. Poor old fel
low; ’tie a and change for him from
the fleshpots of “old mnrster” to
the gleanings of the streets.
The city authorities are taking
steps to slop the encroachment ol
that ugly ravine on Hampton
street. A strong wall of brick
extending across the ravine, run
ning parallel with tbo street, has
been built and a narrow bridge is
now being erectcu to restore the
street to its original width. Mr.
Raiford, the street overseer, in
formed the Recorder man that 1C
years ngo he could stand on the
Kim nicy lot and gather grapes
from the Sullivan vineyard across
the gullcy where it is now GO feet
wide and 20 in depth. A deep
well which was located on the
Kimmcy lot has been washed up
root and branch so to speak.
Webster Court.
Last Monday the Senior, in com
pany with Mr. Tom Davenport,
started for Preston to attend the
session of the Superior Court of
Webster. We found the dr've a
hot and dusty one. Many of the
smaller branches have entirely
dried up, and the Chootawhatchie
and Lsnnahassee arc lower than
they have been for many year*.
We crossed the track of the new
railroad, and wished that it was
finished so we could tide over on
it. Hot, dry and dusty, we ar
rived at Preston, glad to get there.
There seemed to he -but little
business in court, and it was al
most impossible to do that little,
the heat was so oppressive. Some
of the lawyers were prevented from
attending by sickness, and o;hers
were made sick after they got there
by the heat.
Tuesday, Judge Crisp addressed
the people, making nn able argu
ment in behalf of the Democratic
party. Ilis opponent, Mr. B. F.
Bell, was also in Preston on Tues
day, renewing his acquaintance
with his old neighbors. It being
his old home, and having a large
number of relatives and personal
(riends in the county, he will get a
very complimentary vote in Web
ster, although it is not thought lie
can carry the county.
We spent a very pleasant eve
ning with Judge Harrell at his
plantation home, twq miles south
of the city. The Judge will leave
about the 25th for Atlanta, having
been called there by some of the
leading men in the state to consult
with them in regard to important
matters that will come up during
the next session of the legislature,
of which he is a member.
The people of Preston are just
now more interested in railroads
than politics, and are anxiously
looking for the advent of the first
train over the Americus, Preston
and Lumpkin road. Workmen are
now engaged in grading the road
about, four miles east of the town.
We found the farmers rather dis
couraged by the dry, hot weather
and the low price of cotton, and as
a consequence, collections wore
dull.
We left on Wednesday in a ear*
riage with Captain A. C. JBell and
Judge Hawkins, coming home,by
way of Bell’s mill and passing
through some ns pretty farming
country as there is in Southwest
Georgia.
Kicking Up the Dust.
•. It there is one thing Americas
has plentlv of at the present time,
itjs dust. Like ail her products,
it is ho common, coarse end or
dinary dust, hut a tine, bright red
and pccuqilariy penetrating article
—an article that will compare well
with the best pulverized goods of
a similar character anywhere. We
say this not in any spirit of boast
ing, but as a simple s atement of
recognized fact, which we deplore
rather than rejoice at. Dust is an
expensive luxury, which in these
hard times we cannot afford to in
dulge in.
It suits the windows.
It injures tile furniture.

Miss Her Ilia Wclby.
The Augusta Nows lias the fol
lowing kind words for Miss Welby
and her company, who play at the
Opera House to-night:
In spite of her illness Miss Wei
by captivated her audience last
night, and as ‘Lady Claie” won
all hearts and the most unbounded
applause. The same opinion is
echoed at the matinee to day. The
prettiest picture of the play was
the appearance of Mrs. D’Arey
herself on the stage, and her beau
tiful face is accompanied by n
charming stage presence and ex-
tremely graceful acting. She as
sists Miss Welby in a superb and
striking role. Miss ililifurde,
as “At icnais," was also quite
coquettish and captivating. Mr.
Huzelrigg is one ol the strongest
leading men ever seen in Augusta,
and either as “Pbillippe, the Iron
Master,” or ip his great role in “A
Terrible Temptation,” he wins
mnch applause. There is force and
strength, ns well as a first-class
comedian in his person. Indeed,
the whole company is first-class,
and our people should not stay
away from the theater to-night on
account of the wnim weather.
