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. YES, MY SONS, THE PEOPLE’S Just as soon at we can pick, gin and sell onr cotton we will call unon The Clothier G.\les at his New Corner in Americus and purchase our outfits for the season.

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.
