A Successful Contractor for Government
Buildings.

MI. J. E. Tinsley the architect and con-
tractor, of this city, is visiting his home.
He has Just completed the u. S. govern
ment building at Charlotte, n. c., and eX-
hibited photograph of it. 1t is beautl-
full edifice of the Romanized-Ital style
and was finished in four and q half months
less than the contract called for. The
Government, which already owned the lot
on which to place the building, appropria-
ted $4,000 for it's erection. The cost was
building 1854, SS1. heating apparatus 5000
and plumbing s., 200. The building, which
is of brick, is trimmed with Indiana brown
stone, the trimming costing $4,000.
MI. Tinsley also has the contract for the
Government building at Helena, Ark. The
appropriation is $4,000 for building and
lot. The lot selected cost $13, 600, but the
Government refusing to pay more than
So, COG for lot, the citizens subscribed and
paid the additional $1,000. MI. Tinsley
got the contract for the building at S47 500
The population of Helena is 5000. MI
Tinsley has the foundation of the new build
ing ready.
In answer to inquiries about the propos
ed Government building in Staunton, MI
Tinsley said he would be bidder for it.
but the much smaller amount to be
spent on it could not give anything like as
pretty a building as the one just finished at
Charlotte. He said he thought the building
would hardly he commenced in less than
twelve months from now, though the lot
might be bought within a month OF posi-
bly, three months.
Mr.. Tinsley is looking in fine health and
his work in the far Southern States seems
to have agreed with him. He has, so far
been connected with four government
buildings-t at Harrisonburg, for which
he did part Of the work, and those at Char
lesion, w. Va, Charlotte, N. c., and
Helena, Ark, for which he had the con-
tracts.

A Widespread Superstition.

A traveller who left Staunton on the
early G.. & 0. train West, on Ground Hog
day, February I'd, gives us the following
Illustration of how universal that supersti-
ton is. He said: "There were about a
dozen people in our car, varying in age from
twenty to fifty years, and when we were d
few miles out of Staunton the fact that it
was Ground Hog day and was clear was
mentioned. Every man in the car said he
had been thinking about it and watching
the weather, and only waiting for some
one else to mention it. At Clifton Forge
where passengers took another train going
further west, the baggage men putting in
the trunks were discussing the Ground
Hog. On getting to the White Sulphur,
Maj Eakle remarked that 1.-THE ground
hog couldn It help seeing his shadow to-day. P"
Later, Mr.. w. A. Stuart, the millionaire,
joined the party, having just dismounted
from ride on horseback. He said it look
ed as if the grounding would have to go
back in his hole, the sun was so bright. All
joined in laugh at the general watching
for grounding weather that had been devel-
oped, and it was determined to ask the
farmer of the place when he came in, about
it. The farmer confessed that he had
watched the weather when the sun rose in
the early morning. In coming back, the
next day was one OF pouring rain at Clifton
Forge, and nearly everybody that came
into the reading room of the hotel,
from boy ten years old up to an old man
of seventy, who spoke about the weather,
mentioned the grounding in connection
with it. An old traveller told about having
been out in Indiana IN 1879 on grounding
day and watching one that a friend had.
The little fellow came out of his hole and
finding the sun shining, rolled over two OF
three times and went back in his hole. And
the next day the worst month Of bad
weather started in, that had been seen in
Indiana for years."
People of all ages and all localities seem
to have learned the grounding superstition
early in life and seem never to have given
it up.
