W Richardson, of Wallace, Fia., is out on a visit. ; Before retaining home he intends to go to Jamestown and other points of interest in that section of the country Last fViday the old school I house and lot was sold to Mr C M Kelley. The sale was at public Auction. The sewerage system as bei ? ri*? fVtr\h#?r 4th. I9tf. was SW vu 1 J completed last week?/ery nearly one year after the first ? . epadeSnl of earth was turned Engineers Wilson and 01m 'f -stead and the commissioners of public works held a conference Friday afternoon and f, night and went oyer alfi details and checked up all items and struck a final balance. It was gratifying to find that the actual cost exceeded the original bid of the contracting company by only a few hundred dollars, notwithstanding the bankruptcy of this company and the suspension of the work pending A arrangements between .the com mrssioners and the surety company for the carrying?n of the work. This surety company is liable for the excess^ *o that the town will lose nothing whatever by the failure of Hbe original contractors. Furthermore, f this surety company will be * called upon to pay the penalty for the failure of the Southern t Contracting company te complete the system within the time limited by the contract, to wit Feburary 1, and this penalty >betng $10 per, day will amount to quite a good deal. The commissioner* will meet the surety company in Norfolk, Va^ on October 8 for sett Jement. Speaking of the sewerage sysk, tem reminds us that two uf our leading druggists stated to us a few days ago that the town sales of chill and ferer remedies hare already fallen off seventy per cent! Just think of this. Tke statement sonnd6 .almost incredible, yet it is true. This is certainly a most gigan- j tic leap?from a bed of malaria and kindred pests to almost a health resort in a few short |fc months. Saturday night one of B the heaviest rains that ever fell* B in this town came down, yet H within an hour after it ceased W the water was all gone, except ^ in a few puddles, while the surrounding country remained flooded. Even before it is completed the fact is being realized that, notwithstanding it is four times as large and more than ten times as costly and convenient the o&one, ou * new school small. We are HHSBfast that the seams HnHH^B^kefore we can get BHHBl into a larger. higher.
