Moonlight Dance.
Quite a lively evening was that

Sot True.
A report lias gained currency to
the effect that at barbecue at Millen,
on August Htli, none are in
vited to he present, except those
who receive a special invitation.
This is not true, and we are author
ized by the people of Millen to say
the barbecue is free to all who
come. A few special invitations
have been sent out by the gentle
men of that place only to their
very dear friends.
Telephone fur Waynesboro.
Waynesboro seems to be on the
eve of a genuine boom. This time
the telephone has made its advent
in our midst. The anti-Gould Tele
graph Company have put up the
poles and made an order for seven
telephones with the prospect of a
large increase in the number of in
struments. The name of the com
pany has been changed to the Anti-
Gould Telegraph and Telephone
Co., of Waynesboro. Every house
in town should have a telephone.

of unity and loyalty that exists
among our business men and citi
zens generally, let us see if some
means cannot he devised that shall
bring on reactions and awaken us
from the dull lethargy with which
we have fallen while our sister
towns are “up and doing” with a i
vim that is placing them ahead of
us in material prosperity and busi-
iness enterprise.
Now let us take a look at our
material surroundings ana see if
they have anything to do with our
trouble. It can hardly he said that
outside capital is needed, tor a
good many of our business men are
well off, and if they would only
show the outside world that they
have faith in the town that made
them rich, it would not he long be
fore there was an influx of capital,
if any were needed.
Again, about the cotton factory.
It would be difficult to find a better
place for a great big one, for Way
nesboro is far ahead of anything
in the state in point of cotton re
ceipts in proportion to population.
Where is there another town of its
size that will ship twenty-five
thousand hales of cotton next
season? And yet just 21 miles be
low 11s is the little village of Millen
whose annual receipts are probable
not more than five or six thousand
bales, swelling itself up over a hun
dred thousand dollar factory and
giving a big dinner which is to catch
all the hungry capitalists in the
state and we will go down there and
eat the dinner and see them pile on
the agony, and if we don’t feel
ashamed of ourselves when we
come back home, it will be because
ours is a hopeless case, and there
is no shame in us. *
For goodness sake, fellow citi
zens, let us git up and gir. Why sit
ye here idle? Open your eyes and
arouse your public spirit. Let
us call a meeting of citizens old
and young, in mass meeting and
form a board of trade, elect officers,
and committees and let each indi
vidual man feel that lie has and
ot right ought to have some inter
est in his town.
You have joined on the school
question and the result will be you
will have a school of which we may
justly feei pround. The school will
do us a great deal of good, in that
it will call attention to us and a
advertise us belore the public as
long as it shall last.
The telephone to Augusta has
been secured, and the local tele
phone is a (lead sure tiling. So
much, so good, now let us hump
ourselves, get up the board of trade
and organize regularly for the pro
motion of our interests and the city
of Waynesboro. E. P. Munn.

1 lit* Waynesboro Academy.
It is with unbounded pleasure
that we notice the great interest
that is now felt in our flourishing
city on the subject of the education
of our children.
The trustees have decided to
make the school free. A principal
and an assistant have already been
elected and a trained teacher for
the primary department will be
chosen as soon as one suitable for
the position can be found.
The teachers, though competent,
cannot do the best work, unless the
school building is put in order, and
sufficient modern school appliances
are furnished.
About fifty new single desks are
needed tor the use of the children,
and, then three teachers desks are
a necessity. Sliding doors should be
placed betweeu the two front rooms.
Blackboards should extend around
the walls of each room. The stoves
are too small to heat the room, as
your children will tell you. There
should he an Appleton’s Reading
Chart and other modern apparatus
for use of the primary department.
A fence separating thejfiay grounds
of the boys from that of the girls is
needed. Tlie yard fence should be
whitewashed and the building in
side and outside should be painted,
so as to make the school room an
attractive place. The children of
this city will spend more of their
waiting hours in the academy after
the school commences than in any
other place. The haunts of vice
are made most attractive, so as to
enhance and charm her votaries.
Our houses are painted and our par
lors beautified so as to make us feel
that “there is no place like home.”
Should not we, who have the wel
fare of our children at heart, make
the sMiool room “a thing of beauty,”
so that the way of wisdom may
become the path of pleasantness? "
Would it not be well for the
ladies of this city to meet and see
if they cannot devise some plan to
raise money to beautify and make
comfortable the school building?
The children doubtless could be
intensted, and the gentlemen
would patronize liberally every
entertainment or festival that might
be gotten up at the academy.
The attendance on such an en
tertainment would he very large,
as the inmates of almost every
house in the city are in some way
interested in the success of the
academy, and the pride that every
one feels in the school and the
growth of the city would lead him
to do iiis full duty.

A Happy evening.
—Largest assortment of plain and
fancy’ crackers at C. E. Scherer’s.
On Monday it was announced
that a pleasant party would come
off in the evening at the residence
of Mrs. S. C. Shewmake and her
charming daughters. About twelve
couples, friends of Miss Leila and
Mr. John Shewmake, of C. R. R.
office Augusta, who was on a short
visit home, were invited. The
evening proved auspicious,the com
pany In the gayest of spirits. Bright
conversation, delightful music, mer
ry games, and delicious refresh
ments, contributed to the en
joyment of an occasion long to be
remembered by those present, as
the happiest of happy summer
evenings.
Nice Barbecue.
A barbecue was given by the peo
ple of the neighborhood of Botts-
ford school house on the 2d inst., by
which the people of the district
were called together to take some
action in regard to the establish
ment of the new postal route. The
meeting was unanimous for the
route, and arrangements will be
made for carrying the mails once a
week (on Thursdays). Bids for car
rying the mails will be opened to
day. A committee composed of
Messrs. J. T. Wilcox, S. Schwarz-
weiss and N. P. Thomas, was ap
pointed to call on our merchants for
their financial aid and support.
The ’cue was well attended and
heartily enjoyed by those present.
TO COTTON
PLANTERS
Mr. C. W. Syms, who lives on Mr.
J. II. Mackenzie’s place near this
city’, thinks that he has discovered
a “mare’s nest.” He is happy pos
sessor of a heu which has built her
nest in a tree, where no prowling
cur can reach the eggs and where
she might hatch her brood of little
chicks in her exalted position a lit
tle above the plane of those com
monly hatched out on the ground.
Alas, for the fowl’s vain hopes, Mr.
Sy’ms discovered the hiding place*
of her nest, and being so much sur
prised at their immense size, gath
ered them up and having his buggy
ready for a trip to this city, thought
he would startle his friends by his
great find. The eggs are unsually
large in size, weighing a little on
the rise of one-quarter of a pound,
and in the days of new inventions,
condensations, etc., reasons that an
egg so large as the specimen he
exhibits should hatch out four
chicks instead of one. A gentle
man in this city seeing them, and
being a fancier of fine fowls has pur
chased a setting of four eggs and
confidently expects to hatch out a
dozen chicks. We shall await the
result of his experiment, and hope
soon to chronicle the fact that Mr.
Sym’s fondest have been realized,
and that “there’s millions in it.”
A certain young gentleman of
this city, called on a young lady-
friend on the Narrow Guage road
last Sunday. The visit was so pleas
ant that lie lingered until after the
evening shadows had fallen; forget
ting for the time that he must be
hack home early next morning to
open the store. Becoming sudden
ly aware of this, and that he was
seven miles from Augusta and no
train going in that direction for
a long while, resolved that he must
go, and bidding his lair companion
adieu, he set out to walk. Alone
w’ith only the soughing of the winds
along the right-of-way and the mut
tering thunder of an approaching
rainstorm, he balanced himself
gracefully’ on the cross tie heads
and with rapid strides was soon dis- j
counting tlie speed of a Narrow
Guage train. Though his gait
would have won applause in a go-
as-vou-please walking match,it was
not sufficient, and the rain storm
burst upon him. In vain did he at
tempt to ward off the blinding sheets
ot rain with his umbrella, hut the
storm king seemed determined to
take the starch out of his Sunday’
suit—and he did. For he arrived
in Augusta limp and bedraggled in
time to take the Central train for
home, where he bobbed up serenely
next morning in time to open the
store. Still undaunted lie consoles
himself with the comforting reflec
tion that even this cloud had a
bright silver lining.
