The Artesian Well.
Perry Andrews and brother got
their drilling plant;erected and every
thing in shape Tuesday morning at
10 o’clock and kindly notified the
manager of The Ledger that they
were about to begin to drill the deep
hole in ihe ground from which we ail
hope lo get a supply of pure water,
and in sufficient quantities to sup
ply the city for many years to come.
We were soon rm the ground, the
steam was turned on, the great
wheels which put the drill in motion
began to turn, the drill began to as
cend and descend, and the work was
begun.
Gaffney expects to derive much
benefit from this well and we trust,
that wt* will not be disappointed.
The Messrs. Andrews are gentle
men of long experience in Ihoir busi
ness and know what to do lo gel 'a
hole in Ihe ground,” as they are
pleased to term it. Thej inform us
that it will take them from six to
twelve weeks lo complete the well,
everything depends upon the hard
ness of the rock which they will en
counter.
And thus it is that Gaffney takes
another step forward in the onward
march of progress.

Already his” icw scientific systim

thcHpunds of apparently hopeless

his professional, but his religious
duty—a duty which he owes to suffer
ing humanity—to donate his infallible
cure.
He has proved tho “dreaded con
sumption” to be a curable disease be
yond a doubt. In any climate, and
lias on tile in Ins American and Euro
pean laboratories thousand of “heart
felt testimonials of gratitude” from
those benofilted and cured, in all
parts of the world.
Catarrhal and pulmonary troubles

it is to late. Simply write T. A.
