Our Wants.
One time last year, Wrn. Parker,
of Pearson, bought a lot of laud in
the town and proposed to build a
town hall, for the use of theatres,
visiting Wnycross, and even order
ed the lumber for that purpose,
when one or two other parties an
nounced their intention of buildinf
a hall for the same purpose. As
it would not pay for more than
one to be erected Mr. Parker aban
doned the project and used his
land and lumber for tenement
houses; now where are those Ilall
builders? The theatrical season is
upon us, but no company will
come here because there is no ac
commodation for them. Olemans
hall is too small and the school
house is not in a condition for any
kind of use. Wc need a town-hall,
school-house, an artesian well,
a fire-company, a few more church
es and we need more than any
thing else, a few energetic citizens.

While at DuPont last Satur
day wo noticed that the Jenkins
House was well patronized and
that friend Tom, one of the
cleverest drummers on the road,
was at home for a few days with
his family; that Mrs. Powell
was spending some time with
her mother; that B. J. Sirmans
bad moved into the new house
opposite the depot, and was do
ing a splendid business; that J.
Jones was selling shoes at cost;
that C. II. Hughes was in
the enjoyment of good health
and a prosperous business; that
J. G. Saunders & Bro. weredoing
a fine' mercantile business and
sawiug lumber with their now
mill; that friend Gus DuPont
is one of the most wide awake
men in south Georgia, and lias
inaugurated a plan by which he
intends to build a city at Du
Pont; that DuPout and Clinch
county need a first-class news
paper published there, and that
the town generally was on the
up grade. DuPout is an im
portant railroad juuction, and
there is no reason why it should
not become a place of some im
portance iu the near future.
Oleman’s Hall.
Some of our pleasure loving
people got up another ball at Ole-
nian’s hall, last week, and we are
pleased to note that the attendance
was sufficient torendor our friends
a most enjoyable occasion. On
the floor we noticed:
Col. John C. McDonald, and
several different ladies, as ho at
tempted to dance with every lady
present, and is a graceful waltzer.
Mr. A. H. Morgan and Miss
Julia Wideman, two of the pretti
est .dancers on the floor.
Mr. Jeff. Mattox and Miss Oli
ver, the liveliest people that joined
the quadrille.
Mr. J. L. Smith (our Lee) and
Miss Linville, both as graceful and
modest as waltzers ever get to be,
Several other ladies and gentle
men were there, and wo sorrow
that we have not their names, that
we might make mention of their
part in the dance.
Miss Lizzie McClure seemed to
be a favorite dancer with some of
the hoys, as nearly every gent
there claimed her two or three
times. In fact, we were thinkin;
of asking her to “cut a reel or two”
with us, when a big fellow with
side whiskers looked angry at us,
ana we sat down .on the floor be
hind a box.
ncSicut have moved to our
town iu the last fc\v weeks, to

A Sew Baby,
One day hist week we W’ere in
passenger depot, talking
with some of the boys and En
gineer Pendergast about railroad
matters. Our attention was at
tracted by a dancing, shnffliug
sound on the floor near by, and
looked round Captain
George Crooms caught us bv the,
hand and, giving us a general
shaking up, invited us to a ride
out with him, saying he had
something to tell us.We re
gretted our inability to
as we were going out on the
other road. The b'ovs were talk
ing all around, and we were
having a good time generally,
when all at ouce we heard ail
awful blast blown. Captain
Pendergast, who, by the way, is
a little deaf, heard it, and
thought it was the fast mail
coming in, and shouted out to
the boys to “get out of this.”
We rushed out, hut could see no
train, and upon inquiry
fouud that it was Captain Aus
tin blowing his nose. ’ We felt
sold out, and as we turned to
leave Captain Crooms caught us
by the arm, smiled aU“all over”
smile, winked at us three times,
and said: “We’ve got a gal baby
at our bouse, but don’t say any
thing about it!"—

Mrs. Kate Roach, wife of Geo.
S. Roach, on the 11th of Novem
ber, 1885, aged 22 years and 4
months. The news of her death
fell like a bolt of sorrow upon the
ears of those who knew the
nan so-kind, modest and hos
pitable, for, indeed, the writer was
not even aware that- she was at her
father’s house in this town, until
we heard of her death. Wc never
knew a lady of whom we had a
more lofty estimation; wo never
had the pleasure of an acquaint
ance with a lady of whom all
who knew her had more words of
regret to express at her death ; than
Mrs. Roach. ^
She leaves a husband, two chil
dren, one of them only a week old,
with a host of friends and relatives
to mourn her loss. Her funeral
was preached at the Methodist
church by Rev. Mr. Whiting, and
she was followed to the cemetery
by a host of sorrow-stricken rela
tives and friends.
