A New Enterprise.
As evidence of the steadily increasing
business interests of Georgetown, we note
the contemplated opening ON February l of
another first-class agricultural warehouse,
at 1900 NJ street, by Messrs. Cropley, Boteler
| & Champion. Mr.. Croplcy has been for
long time with his brother, Mr.. G. w.
Cropley, and the other two members of the
now firm have been the efficient clerks of
| Mr.. G. T. Dunlop, in his extensive agricul-
tuial and fertilizer business, where they
| have made hosts of friends. The new firm
will engage heavily in the manufacture of
fertilizers, and will no doubt meet with the
success to which their business qualiiica
tions justly entitle them.
Commissioners, Attention!
The citizens of Georgetown will probably
some day pass resolution of thanks to the
District Commissioners. They will, how
| ever postpone that until the able Commits
sioners send some one to look after the
streets in their town. Market street, be-
tween Bridge and Prospect, is in horrible
condition. The crossing at Thirtieth and
Dunbarton might be improved and the
city government not suffer greatly from
the expense attached to the small repairs to
give Georgetown chance.
The Dashaway Reform Club
held large and enthusiastic meeting at
their hall last night, at which stirring ad-
dresses were made by Mrs. and DR.. j. Nc
Kcndree Riley and John II. MITCHELL esq.

tion, having on its roll the names of

and until late at night, and is well supplied
with the daily papers Including of course,
the sprightly CRITIC, periodicals and other
literatuae, of which its numerous members
gladly avail themselves.

N. M. Mrs. Risquc is well remembered by
the citizens of Georgetown, of which she
was SO long resident, and where she en-
deared herself to the hearts of all who
knew her by her kind and affectionate dis
position and her truly Christian life. At a
very carly age she connected herself with
st. Johns Church, and was ever jealous
worker in that vineyard. At her dying
request her remains will be brought to thi:
place for interment at Oak Hill Cemetery

four of the locks on the Cumberland di

Branch and one at Twigg's lock. Anothe
will probably be at Dam No. 4, the end o.
the division. The work is expected to b.
completed some time in March, SO tina
shipments can be resumed in April
