Below is given a correct copy of a petition circulated in Harlem which certainly demonstrates tiie opinion of quite a large majority of represent ative citizens in regard to Imving an artesian well in our town: PETITION. We the undersigned me in favor of Imving an artesian well in Harlem, and do hereby affix our names to the foregoing petition as supporters of such an enterprise,' promising hi aJiide by any consistent, action that U,ay Im necessarptto accomplish tliis ebd, tiie same to be taken up by our town council at a special meeting if possible, or to be raised by publie subscription: I. Ramsey, J. V. Jones, J. L. Smith, E. A. Pender¬ grass, J. W. Ellington, W. N. Kacli ry, Eulie Lausdell, B. K. •Hatclier, F. H. Phillips, J. B. Bobbin, I. V. Ballard, J. O. Scruggs, J. M.

J, Walton, E. C. Lanier, J. M. Atkinson, C. D. Bailey. There is no doubt, but tiie few that it was impossible to see at the time the petition was circulated, would have taken pleasure in affixing their names also. Mr. Ellington, who is very closely allied with tiie citizens of Thomson, Ga., remarked when lie wrote his name, that he knew that tiie artesian well in that thriving lit¬ tle city, had certainly improved the health of the people, and X now un¬ derstand authoritively tlmt the town is so well pleased that they are to be gin at an early date to drill another, and institute a regular system of water works through the town to be supplied exclusively ’ by artesian water. • There are quite a number of eiti zens that want to know just how a thing of this kind is to he maintain «>d, saying that it would coat forty m sixty dollars per month to keep « tiling of tins kind going, well pose it does, wo are not looking for a volttntary stream of crystal water to shoot out from the bowels of the earth, With silver cup attachments, free of cOsi, suppose our taxi's were just double what t hey are ' now, I lie | average town tax is not over $4.00, | suppose it was $5.00, even more, say | $10.00, where is (lie mail that would not be willing lo pay that amount per year for the inaintainaiice of a well of pure crystal artesian water. Why tiie people of Waynesboro, Ga. are taxed $2.00 per month, $24.00 pef year. The average man tliinks of a proposition of this kind, like they looked upon the advent of the tele* phone, what would we now do with¬ out It? I venture to say that after a few drinks of artesian water, as oom pared to what we now have to swal¬ low, that were we to say, that, we in¬ tended doing away with it, that our town would lie deserted before we would go hack to the old well again. I am not asking you to take my word tor what 1 have to say in regard to the merits of artesian water, I ask that you make inquiry of our worthy townsman, M. II.
