WAYNESBORO, GA., FRIDAY, OCT. 27, 1882
Entered at the post office at Waynesboro, Ga.,
as second class matter.
THE ARTESIAN W ELL.
We announced last we. k that Mr L.
B. Clay, of ( olorado, was in town f.>r
the purpose of boring the long talked of
artesian well Learn ng from what we
thought good authority that, the well
was to be located above the Masonic
Hall, on Main street, on private prop
erty, we opposed that location in our
extra edition of Tuesday morning. We
have learned since that we were misin
formed as to the statement that the
well was to be put on private 'property
—but the place selected was the raid
die of Main street. The authorities,
however, reconsidered the question of
location, aud decided to put the wed in
the centre of Main and Peace streets,
at their intersection. On Wednesday
morning Mr. Clay with several hands
was at work early, peparing to p'ace
the machinery, and so went the day.—
As the day advanced, considerable op
position to the location began to devel
op, and at night had become so strong
as to cause an abandonment of the en
terprise, and On Thursday morning
the well location wire a deserted
look. Abiut 8 o'clock we learned that
a subscription list had been started, and
long before night enough money had
been subscribed to carry out the enter
prise, and on Friday morning Mr. Clay
and hands were again at work, and has
steadily progr ssed to this writing, and
says be will commence boring Monday
morning. While we favored . the pres
ent location, and still believe it to be
ti e right place, those favoring the up
town locality present some good reasons
for putting the well up there. So far
as we are inividually concerned, we
would have cheerful y given up any pri
vate preference for location, so that the
we 1 had been ^pnt in a place easy of
pub ic access Our object in advt cat
i. g this enterprise all along has been
the'public good, and when that'is ob
tained we are satisfied. Below we
give a list of the subscr hers tor each
location:

the erne us.
The mammoth show of S. H. Barrett
& Co. has come and gone fioui our
midst. It was a mammoth combination,
if we look at it on paper, but even when
the average boy drew a focus upon the
reality of that show with his auxious
and inquiring optics, he doubtless felt
that he would have been better paid to
have kept his pocket change and re
mained on the outside and looked at the
p'etures upon the advertising boards,
for the show itself was not to be com
pared with them. That the average
man of the nineteenth century should
year after year he so badly duped by
false reproseniations at the hands of
these travelling nuisances is hut a com
mon illustration of one of the many
devious ways man has fallen into to ac
cumulate the “almighty dollar.”
But the occasion furnished a con-
siderable excitement and gave an op
portunity of recreation to our people
that for a short while seryed to break
the dull monotony of every day life.—
The crowd that came to town was said
to be the largest ever seen in the streets
of Waynesboro and this eon.-isted chief
ly of the colored people. There was
plenty of handshaking, renewal of ac
quaintances and happy little incidents
that occurred to make it a day of fun.
One of our handsome little clerks, it
is said, fell in love wi h the litt'e “Cir
cassian Beauty” and made her a present
of something that pleased her very
much and that cime from quite near his
heart—we believe it was his iavoriie
cravat. The day passed off very quietly
with but one exception. This was a
ven lemon who w shed to make himse'f
conspicuous in some brutal way, so he
made Ifliuself heard by tiring his pistol
off at random, shooting several u^ly
holes in the counters of the store of
Me-srs. Ca es *fc Mackenzie, and finally
endeavored to kill several negroes by
shooting at their beads, but fortunately
none were hurt. So ended our circus
day and if all of our people *ere satis
fied we are, for you know the truism
“He that expecteth nothing, shall re
ceive nothing.” We can congra’ulate
the show upon one thing, however, and
that is in having one of the most courte
ous and gentlmanly press agents, in the
person of Mr. V\ illis Cobb, it was evjr
our pleasure to deal with.
