—On Tuesday morning, friend W.
McCathern caught us up in one of his fine
new buggies, of which he has lately re
ceived several, and took us at a
rattling pace out to see his new gin
and engine, as true to his word, he was
ready for business on Friday after the
burning of his gin on Tuesday. The gin
is now located in the southwestern sub
urb of the city, and is so isolated as to
preclude danger to other property
in case of fire. The unv gin is a Pol
lard Champion with a Pollard Cham
pion feeder attachment, and Mr. Me,
• informed us would gin Bix bales per
day. The engine is a 3} horse-power
Pollard engi: e, and is a little beauty,
mid worked wi h astonishing rapidity,
and so litt'e noise that it could scarcely
tie heard fif y feet away. Mr. Me. also
informed us the t lie had so much cus
tom cotton to gin that he would not be
able 'o rout h his own within a month.
On with improvement, and we hope that
flie spirit of enterprise will become
oontageous, and that Waynesboro will
have a regu ar boom.
— By examining our columns to day
wi h close and sly inspection, you will
find a brand new advertisement from
i»r. Polhill, in the same old place.—
Tlje dooior lias la'ely added largely to
his ’dreadv ex en.-ive stock things too
numerous to me tion. and when you go
there, if you do not, eee what you want,
don’* be too modest to mention it. and
vou are likely to get, it. The doctor
always keeps fresh, pure drugs on hand,
and you may depend on their efficacy.
.And if you want a pleasaut smoke, try
one of his nice Havanas. But we
set out to tell you to read his advertise
ment
—Whi’e Dr. Polhill and a party of
friends were out Friday evening on a
bird hunt, Henry came to a point, and
the Doctor #ent in for a shot, when a
large rattlesnake sounded his danger
signal. The Doctor made a retrograde
movement dcublequick, with his eyes
wide open and his hair pushing his hat
off. Recovering from his Iright, at
being so near o'd “bell-tail.” the Doc
tor ga e his snakeship a harrell which
put bin* beyond harming anything On
examination the snake proved to be a
large one, carrying seven rattles and a
button.

with 40 bales of cotton, standing on the

provision crops, and we can have two

this year, suing will go out of fashion.

pect of establishing a machine shop in

JAIL DELIVERY.
On Thursday night, the j.-iil wa- bro
ken, and five of the seven prisoners
made their escape—all colored. It ap
pears that, a negro boy. some 13 or 14
years old, ca'led Mack, and living at
Mrs. Scales’, went to Messrs. Evans &
Thomas’ after dark Thursday evening,
and purchased au augur and a chisel
with money which lie now says the
prisoners threw through the jail window
up stairs and over the jail fence to him.
It is shrewdly suspected, however,
that Mack lies, and t : at there were
outside parties connected with the
transaction These tools the boy tied
to a long stick, and handed to the pris
oners through the bars, and they bored
and cut out early in the night, and
made rope of their blankets and let
themselves down from the upper story.
After they had made good their escape,
a negro who was in another ce’l gave
the alarm, whi'e one who was in jail for
a s ight fine and costs pretended to be
so sound as'eep that he knew nothing
of it. The name| of the prisoners who
escaped are, Madison Jackson, bur-
g’arv ; David Collins, murder ; Peter
Peeples, burg ary ; Robert Brown, as
sault, and a lar^e mu’atto whose name
we were unab’e to learn. The notori
ous Tom Bell is still safe. Mack has
been arrested and jailed under a charged
of aiding prisoners to escape, and has '
thus early begun his course of crime
and jail experience. Re hope that all
the escaped criminals will soon be re
turned to their old quarters, when we
are of opioicn they will be compelled to
meet his ^lonor before they come out
again. No blame attache* to the jailor.

—Mr. E. G. Boulineau while prac
ticing with an air gun a few days ago,
loaded and cocked it, and dropped the
breech upon the floor, with bis hand
grasping the muzzle, and while his at
tention was attracted to something else,
his little child, some two or three years
old, busied itself with the look and
pressing the trigger a little too hard, dis
charged the gun, the ball—a small one
