This move is made by cutting rates on the Chattahoochco territory. The Central is a “rat,” always trying to undermine some cor poration in its lcgitamate busi ness.

The work that falls to the lot of the watchmaker to perform is of the most delicate character,- and Remands a high degree of skill to execute in a satisfactory manner. It requires more than mere mechanical knowledge, for some intimacy with the sci ence of horology is needed to make the successful watchma ker. This term, watchmaker, has come to bo something of a misnomer in this country, since the majority of watches are made by machinery, and the work of most of tho skilled watchmakers is confiincd main ly to repairing watches. In near ly every jewelry establishment in the country the repairing of watches is made a special fea ture of the business, and work men, more or less expert, find mdlgn4»tfiauday men t at j. work of this kind. Unfortunate ly, all those claiming to be watchmakers are not proficient at the business, but contrive to botch most of the wort entrust ed to them. The demand for good, skillful watchmakers ex ceeds the supply, and the defi ciency is made up with halffledg- ed journeyman who have picked up what they know about watch making while serving as shop boy somewhere, or who have, ill some other way, obtained a su perficial knowledge of the inside of a watch. Tho number of fine watches that have been ruined by botches calling themselves watchmakers cannot be estima ted. Messrs. Lanier & Youmans, Waycross, Ga., have ha advau. tage of a practical education as Watchmakers and Jewelers, and an experience of fifteen years at tho work bench, and being prepared with all tho nec essary tools and machinery, can give perfect satisfaction to all who entrust their work to them They make the repairing of fine watches a specialty, and warrant their work for twelve months by special certificate. dispatched for.

In looking back over the past year, the condition of the town one year ago and the present improved state of Mu nicipal affairs, without the least reflection upon previous officers, we must say that the present Council, Mayor and officers have performed their duty with econo my, judgment aud satisfaction.
