It sur vived th® rains at the end of the week confounding the gloomy predictions of th® shovelmen. The Third Provisional lined up for pay last Thursday. One of Augusta's Sunday papers remarked that a con siderable portion of the monev receiv ed that day had already found its way into the coffers of local merchants, a statement that caused no surprise to those who visited Augusta Saturday afternoon.
