^WATERWORKS WORK,
‘_2. •
PIPES WERE LAID ON SOCIETY
STREET YESTERDAY.
Albany Bejolee* Oyer the Inangnrn
tton of a New Era in Her History.
1»I» an latereitinc Hlght and Von
Should go Out and See It.
The work on Albany’s system of
J. waterworks is now under fall bead-
^*ay.
And out on Society street it looks
like business.
Assistant Superintendent Baily bad
& large force of bands out yesterday
morning apd dirt was broken at the
intersection of Washington and Society
‘ streets, and by night the piping was
laid nearly the entire length of the
( block,
The work, as it progressed, was
witnessed by a large number ot peo
ple who went out during the day to
lee It.
The process of laying the pipe is
very interesting one, and more espe
cially the process of '‘corking” the
joints. . The work is apparently slow,
but a great deal is accomplished dur
ing the day, and to one who watches
it closely, it is done very rapidly con
sidering the character of the work.
* It is said the work of laying all the
pipe will consume about twelve weeks.
Of course it could be done in less time,
.but as ft will take about that long to
<jjet thetower ready, there is no neces
sity in pushing the work any faster.
tfhe beginning of this work marks a
new era in Albany’s history, for a
complete system ot waterworks and
sewerage is something a growing city
like Albany cannot very well do with
out fcnd without it the growth and
progress is retarded.
The inauguration of the work,
t which many people perhaps doubted up
to the time the pipes were laid .along
i- the streets, is a matter for congratula
tion on the part of every citizen.
The work was begun without any
demonstration whatever, but all day
lpDg you could see Bmiies of serene
Satisfaction upon the faces of-nearly
every one you met, and those smiles
Were occasioned by tbe knowledge
that the work had actually commenced
span Albany’s waterworks,
This work will prove a great blessing
to Albany’s laboring people for it will
put thousands of dollars in their pock
ets that would not be there otherwise.
: If you have time today go out and
take a look at the work—you will find
the force on Society street.
High PraUc,
Mr. A. C. Bruce, of Atlanta, one of
the architects of the new union depot,
was in the city last night.
Mr, Bruce has been looking over the
depot and speaks in the very highest
terms of the work being done by
v Gruger & Pace and says he never saw
t better material used in any building.
Those rumors about inferior material
caused Mr. Bruee to make a critical
examination, and his opinion is worth
a great deal when it is expressed in
regard to a building.
«^/Mr. Bruce wa3 very much surprised
to find that the contractors are putting
in a good deal of work not called for
in the specifications.
He says Cruger & Pace are putting
in several hundred dollars' worth of
work and material whioh is entirely
extra. These excellent gentlemen are
always ready and willing to do some
thing for Albany and everybody is
proud to oall tbem fellow-citizens.

and Messrs. L. C. and A. C. Plonsky,
all of whom have tbe sincere sym
pathy of the entire community in
which the News and Advertiser
Joins.
All the news served in an attractive
manner can always be found in an at
tractive manner, can always be fourd
in the Morning News and Adver
tises, a fact which the people have
long ago learned to be true.
WHEN WS WEBB TEN.
The rain has passed; tbe walk is wet.
The lady tripping down the street.
Koowg that as well as I, and yet
She 1b not conscious of her feet.
She does not know that I am here
Behind this window, tired of men,
And thinking ot her as the dear,
Sweet girl I kenw when we were
When we were ten! Ah, dainty feet—
Far whiter than the sand they
Yea, snowier than the foam tnat beat
Upon that lotus land of rest.
Hand clasped In band we splashed and
Our feet unshod, our ankles bare,
I’d aid her once again to wade
In.that Old fashion If I dare.
I wonder it she ever thinks
■ Of that greit toe ot mine—the one
That wore a turban, through the
Of which the sand was want to run.
She never stubbed her toes, bat mine
Were never sound from snow to
When we were ten! Well, let it pass,
Her feet are dainty yet, I see,
Bat not as when, a joyons lass,
She waded on the beach with me.

President Hawkins.
President S. H. Hawkins, of the
S. A. & M. Rywas a guest of the
Inn last nfgbt.
The Sam is one of the most popular
roads running into the city, and it is
now making preparations to come
down Washington street to its depot
property, and this business has brooght
Col. Bawkini to the city. Now that
the road Is gi-owlng so popular with
our people Albany will esteem it a
great pleasure to see more of President
Hawkins and the clever officers of the
Sam road as the interests of the city
and the road are now identical.

dren. After her death he married

apd in 1878. be took for his third wife

At a meeting pf the Board of Trus
tees’ of the Albany Academy held yes
terday morning Prof. Z. I. Fitlpatrick
was unanimously re-elected principal
for the ensuing schoolastic year.
Prof. Fitzpatrick is one of the best
and most efficient educators in Georgia
and under bis able management the
Academy will maintain Its place
among the foremost schools of South
Georgia. «
The outlpok is bright and the school
will open under most favorable au
spices.
Opt. T. H. Lake.
Capt. T. H. Lake, the genial and
clever veteran conductor who palls
the bell cord on the S. F. & W. pas
senger, Is almost a citlzepof Albany.
Although be calls Thomasyille his
home he spends about as much of his
time in Albany as be does anywhere
else. And be numbers bis friends
here by the score. Everybody knows
him and to know him is to like bim.
The clever captain was presented
with a very niee and comfortable ebair
a few days ago by MaJ. J. T. Steele,
tbe popular Washington street furni
ture man, and It was expressly under
stood that no one was to use this
chair except Capt. Lake.
But that chair Is so nice and com
fortable tbat Capt, Lake very seldom
ever gets to nse it. Tbe minute be
leaves it some one appropriates it and
when be returns to bis chair be al
ways finds that it has been taken by
somebody. Now the News and Ad-
vebtisxb knows tbat Capt. Loke
thinks too much of bis friends to tell
them to let hiB chair alone, but hap
pening to know the terms of agree
ment between bim and Maj ’Steel, tbe
News and Advestiseb takes the lib
erty of suggesting that his frienas'are
making Capt. Lake involnntarlly vio
late the agreement. If yon do not
want to get him into trouble with
Maj. Steele do not take his chair when
you find it vacant.
Both .Sides of the~Question

Dougherty’* New Court lioute.
The plans lor Dougherty county’s
new court house have been accepted,
and Mr. G. L. Norman, of Atlanta,
securg^ the plnm.
Plans were submitted by Bruce &
Morgan, Atlanta; W. R. Gann, Al
bany; McDonald Bros., Louisville,
and G. L. Norman, Atlanta.
The plans submitted by all of these
parties were excellent and some of
of them elaborate. Bat these submit
ted by Mr. Norman met the require
ments of tbe county commissioners In
in point pf availability and cheapness.
Those submitted by Mr. Gann were
very elaborate and his many friends
will be somewhat disappointed when
they learn that others were adopted.
Bat his plans called for an .expendi
ture of more money than the commis
sioners feel disposed to spend so others
were adopted.
The new court house, when com
pleted will be one of the most hand
some public buildings in South
Georgia, and will be something tbat
every citizen will be proud of; -The
county has long felt the need of a more
commodious court house and the erec
tion of this new one will fill a long
felt want as it were.
The plans accepted call for an ex
penditure of $20,000 in improving tbe
present building which will make a
handsome house.
