The steam Laundry.

Mr.. and Mrs. C. 7. Wamaling have at much
expense and pains established a steam laundry
in this city, and by advertisements in the
new spapers and solicitations ask a sustaining
patronage. The machinery is all new. and, for
the purposes designed. appears to be all that
is required to conduct the business on an cx.
tensive scale and with promptness. They
guarantee satisfaction, and subject their work
to the strlctest examination.
Thew have their regular rates for transient
custom, but desire also to take orders from
clubs of persons. families. and schools at the
lowest estimate upon which good and satisfac-
tory work can be executed. The entire estab-
lishment and process are under their imme-
diate supervision, Mrs. W. taking sole charge
of the ladies' department.
The machinery. commencing with the large
steam boiler and engine. the centrifugal ex-
tractor. the bluing and starching, and drying
room, the mang'e for bed linen, the collar and
cuff ironer and others for high polish and
sharpening, are models in the way of aids for
turning out laundry work in superior style
with dispatch.
The people Of the city have now an establish
ment which 1t was said was much needed and
the proprietors ask for liberal share OF patron
age, and hope their efforts will be accordingly
appreciated.
Their advertisement appears in the SPEcrA-
TOR to-day.

COurt.Day.

There was flne turn out of the people Mon
day. The long cold season seemed not to have
chilled their spirits. or slackened their sner-
gies in preparation for coming work, as the
spring days approach. and now SO near at hand.
Some had been, and others contemplate ed going
to see the great Exposition at New Orleans. and
not few expect to take trip with view Of
welcoming the new President on the arr ma on
which he IL to play a prominent purt in the
public concerns of the nation.
Many farmers are still holding their wheat,
and closely watching the market reports,
Baling. hay is going on, and preparation for
marketing that valuable crop was more or
less topic of conversation. Live stock of all
kinds is always uppermost in the minds of
those who buy and sell, and there is scarcely
an Augusta farmer who is not interested on
one or the other side Of the question, and
some on both sides. There were but few who
expected to realize the usual proportion in the
yield Of the growing wheat crop, but 1t may
turn out in 1885, as it did in 1859, when the win
ter aud spring were SO unpropitious. yet the
harvest of that year was better than in many
preceding it.
There were several auction sales, and the
day was rather lively and busy one. &C.
NAL feelings and social greetings were ex-
changed by all. Rockbridge and Rockingham
had goodly number of their people in the
throng.
