The Court House Improvement.
WHO DID THE WORK, sc.


The improvements to the Court House
and grounds attracted great deal OF at
tention last court day, and occasloned
much complimentary notice as rejecting
credit upon the taste and good Judgment
displayed by the committee who had the
work in charge, Messrs. VIM. T. Rush
and John Paris, of the Board OF Super
visors.
IT will be interesting to know who did
the work, which was distributed among a
number of contractors and workmen in the
town and county. The vaults for the two
clerks offices were built by Bagby q Ear
man, the painting of the roof and outside
of the building and pencilling was done by
May & Sagendorph, the painting in the
Court Of Appeals room and room for keep
ing records which is above the county
clerks office by VIM. Coope, the wood
work on the Court of Appeals room by the
Lushbaugh Brothers, and the whitewash-
ing by Wesley Rhodes, colored. The fouu-
dation of the vaults was laid by George
Thurber, the pavements by Fl. III. Wallace
and the grading and ditching in the yard
by the same, assisted by three colored men,
and the yard sodded by Moses Anderson,
colored. The iron railing and gates and
the iron seats were manufactured by Geo.
A. Schoppert, and the grating of the vault
windows, and MIGRANTS by the Staunton
hydrants in and started them to work, and
the piping was furnished by Lynn & Eyler.
The vault doors were manufactured by
Thomas Barnes, of Pittsburg, Pa ), and the
plastering of the vaults was done by S. H.
Lushbaugh, the tin work On the building
by Hager & Co., and some of the inside
painting by Jno. W. Cline. Chas. E. Butler
did the pruning and trimming of the trees,
and Mr.. A. Y. Lee was the architect.
The whole work was accomplished at
cost of nearly or quite So 900, all of which
has been paid, and the people of Augusta
now have Court House equaled in ap-
pearance and convenience by few in the
State outside of the larger cities.

Peculiar Ideas of the Friends of a
Paper.

Some supposed friends of newspa-
per have peculiar ideas as to what
kind of items daily paper really re-
quires. Not long since a gentleman
came into the Galveston Neus sanctum
and said "Look here You miss a
heap of live items. I'm on the street
all day Pll come up every once in a
while and post you"
"All right, fetch on your items; but
remember we want news.n
Next day he came up beaming all
over. ''I've got live item for you.
You know that internal bow-legged
gorilla of a brother-in-law of mine,
who was in business here with me?"

"Well, I've just got news from Ne
braska, where he is living, that he is
going to run for the legislature. Now,
juss give him blast. Lift him out of
his boots. Don't spare him on any ac-
count"
Next day he came up again. "My
little item was crowded out. brought
you some news" and he hands in an
item about his cat, as follows:

The Demand for Heavy Horses.

The Factory and Farm states fact
which we have observed to exist i'll the
city for some time past, !. e., an in
crease in the number of large horses
used OH trucks and on heavy business
wagons. During the past fifteen years,
the writer remarks, there has been
great change in the demand for horses
in this country. Formerly nearly ev-
cry one bred in relation to speed and
endurance. Now large proportion of
farmers breed with a view to increas
ing size and strength. The change is
not the result of caprice. There has
been a steady, increasing demand for
heavy horses, and a corresponding fall
ing off in the demand for light ones.
Fashion has had little to do in the
matter. Heavy horses are wanted be-
cause they supply an existing want.
From present appearances it will be
many years before the supply of heavy
horses will equal the demand. The
country is now well supplied with
horses. At no time in its history, per-
haps, was there as many horses to a
given number of Inhabitants as at pres
ent. Small work horses are low, but
heavy draught horses continue to be
high.
The importation of Clydesdale and
Norman horses increases ev-
cry year. The first that were brought
over were regarded as very uncertain
ventures. AT present they are of no
doubtful value. The importers of
horses from France and Scotland have
suffered none of the reverses of the
importers of short-horn cattle. With
rare exceptions they have become rich.
From present appearances we shall
soon be sending Clydesdales to Scot
land and England, and Normans to
France and Belgium. The value of
heavy draught horses was recognized
in the Old World before it was in the
New. Now that their worth is appre-
ciated here, all persons having teaming
to do seem anxious to procure them.
Large horses are less liable to in
juries from the swinging of the poles of
wagons than small ones. Their bones
are firmer and they are commonly more
hardy. Large horses are more econom-
ical as respects harness, stall room,
feed, and work required to take care of
them. In all the countries of eastern
Europe heavy horses have taken the
place of light ones in general farming
operations. That American farmers
will soon generally employ heavy
horses in field work seems certain
