y The True Citizen. 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: SUBSCRIBERS.

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.
