JOHNSON, The Jewels, -4tt BROAD STREET. NEARING CWLETION. The Great Water Tower of Rome to Be Repaired Soon. a Large Number of Hands at Work— What They Are Doing to the Wonder ful Reservoir— Engineering Skill Which will Compare Well with the Best in This Country. A few days since a Tribune reporter mentioned the fact of the giant tower, which is situated over the city reservoir, being slightly out of order. Yesterday he again visited the spot and found Mr. Lew Wagner, the genial super intendent of the city water works, and who lhas the contract to remodell and over-haul the tower, with a large number of workmen engaged in putting in new timbers and bolts and taking every pre caution to make'the tower even more durable than it was before. For eighteen long years ’ his old tower has stood like a sentinel guarding the citys liquid fountain, but the storms of winter and the suns of summer, together with old “father time,” had their effect upon it at last, and some weeks ago people who noticed the old tower, were horrified to see that it had taken a fearful leaning disposition. This of course made the cbool children, who attend school near t, feel >n jeopardy and so the committee • public MUdings employed Mr. Wagner examine^BL repair the old tower. A occurrence took ■1- . t Is a well known Roman, accosted him ■. isaid; “Well, Low, I notice you have o ten the tower back in its former posi on.” Mr. Wagner said, “Oh, yes, it’s <1 right.” The joke comes in when Mr. Wagner relates that he had not done a thing toward putting the tower back. •‘lf a woman will, she will.” If she will take Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup for her cold, she will be cured.

Colonel Harper owns some twenty-three hundred acres on that island. There are about thirty negroes on the Colonel’s lands, and excepting those few human beings no one is seen upon the island in the course of a year. It is here that Mr. Harper' hies away, when in quest of pleasure and in this lonely wilderness, in common heritage with the bear, the catamount, the deer, the fox, and with the glorious American eagle overhead, he can fish, feast and fancy as long and as much he pleases. U hile on his recent trip Colonel Harper was present when the negroes killed a monstrous alligator. It was some twelve feet in length.' He brought the foot, of that monster creature home with him. A Tribune reporter saw it and was as tounded. Its elaws measure fully four inches in length. Ho also brought the foot of a deer that be killed and the last specimen shown was by no means the least. It was a specimen of the cotton grown on the islands <if the South sea. It is almost as flue as silk and is far more beautiful than that grown in the upland country. This cotton thrives excellently on Mr. Harper’s sea island plantation and is sold for an average of 22 cents per pound. Georgia has some remarkable country. —■■ • Roman standing races today.
