Tlie i-NIary Elisabeth.”
Sure enough tho steamer canto up
to Albany. The Mary Elizabeth, com
tnnndcd by Captain Pratt, landed at
the foot of Uroad street on Friday
last at noon, bringing on hoard quite
a number of passengers from Bain-
bridgu and Newton, Imt no freight.
Hundreds of our poople flocked down
ut the river hank to witness the ar
rival of the first boat that has made
this point since 1872; and a shout of
welcome was sounded when the gang
way plank was thrown on shore.
AX KXUKRIMENTAL TBIP.
Captain Pratt came up the river,
taking all risks, without promise of
reward, hut witli a purpose to show
our people what could he done with
Flint river. Just after Ills arrival he
was besieged by a large number of
citizens, and asked to carry an excur
sion down the stream on a boat ride.
Tlic accommodating Captain consent
'll, and at 3 p. m. the Mary Elizabeth
teamed down with a gay and happy
ertiwd of about one hundred. The
trip was a most enjoyable one; and
niany of the passengers were most
agreeably surprised at the smooth-
s of Hie ride and the honuty of the
scenery.
Again on Sunday ail Excursion par
ty of about throe hundred went down
five miles and hack. It was something
novel, new and pleasant for the Al
banian*.
127 ii.vi.es cotton
was turned over to Captain Pratt on
Monday morning, and with this car
go Die Mary Elizabeth left our city at
9 o’clock, bound for Columbu*.
IMPROVEMENT OF FLINT.
Among tho passengers on the steam
r was (.’apt. Haines, Civil Engineer in
charge of tlic work of improving tho
river just above liainbridge. We had
a very pleasant chat with this gentle
man, who furnished us hopeful in
formation in regard to the important
work. Capt. Ilaines says that he lias
finished work to a point about fifteen
miles tliis side of Rninbridge. At
present the work i* suspended, but
will he resumed at an early day; and
it will not be long before lie moves
up toward* Albany. Tho Captain
informs us that Engineer Quatle-
linum, chief in charge, is at work now
on Apalachicola bay, and finds that it
will lie entirely practicable to im
prove that harbor and make it one of
the safest and be9t on the gulf coast.
This done and the town of Apalachi
cola will become a city of great im
portance. Thus we see the impor
tance of improving tho Flint and
Chnttahonchee rivers.
Captain Haines thinks there is no
loubt about the river's being made
navigable from Montezuma to Apa
lachicola within a verv short time.

Tho following note 11*0111 0*1. ' .
Tift will appear in next issue of the
Cameimini Chime*:. V\V are grati
fied to have a statement tin n tin- pell
of this gentleman. Ills name and
the history of Albany arc closely iden
tified. Ho is the oiliest inhabitant of
our town; and should, before his
days are ended.be induced to give us
a full history of Albany.
Editor Camenan Cuiues—Permit
me to correct the beginning of your
“History of Albany”:
Mr. Alexander Shotwell had no
interest in, and had nothing to do
witli. the location, original purchase,
or survey, of Albany.
The land was purchased by Rawls,
Tift k Co., of which Aim Nelson Tift
was tlie arlive partner, who com
menced in the woods tlie building of
tlie town in October, 1830, had Hie
survey made, and in March, 1837,
purchased from tlie other members
of tlic firm—Messrs. Rawls, King and
Taylor, of Pulaski eouiity, and two
brothers. Watts, of Fort Gaines—their
entire interests.
Messrs. Alexander Shotwell, Chns.
Day, James U. Butts, and others con
stituting the “Flint River Land Com
pany,” owned rival town intererts,
but in May, 1837, they ceased their
rivalry, ami purchased an interest in
Albany. This was Mr. Sliotwell’s
first interest in tlic town.
Mr. H. II. Tarver had no interest
in tlie town or business.
The first log store house stood
where the “old Hotel” now stands,
and was moved back to make room
for that building.
Very respectfully,
Nxlson Tut.

Quite a number of the bells and

Tuesday night, enjoyed a most pleas
ant social chat, and dance, and it is
said to have been tlic crowing event
of Albany’s season of gayety.
The Domino Monday Evening
A number of the young Israelites of
tlie city gave a very pleasant Domino
Party at Willingham’s Hnll on Mon
day night, in honor of Miss Cutner, of
Eiifaula, who was visiting friends in
the city. The Italian Band furnished
music for the occasion, and it proved
most enjoyable to the participants.

The Oat Crop.
Tlie Telegraph it- Messenger con
tains some interesting fucts in regard
to thi9 important branch of farm in
dustry. The editor docs not think
that the Vlate cold spell lias worked
any iujury to the crop. When the
weather moderates, and the spires be
gin to shoot np againhe says the dam
age will not be as great as is appre
hended. Fall oats stool, or “tiller”
out immensely when tbe stand is thin,
and tlie writer has seen fair yields
whore the crop was thought to be
well nigh destroyed. But there is
still ample time to raise a full crop of
oats, and they can even be sown with
good results as late as March.
It is impossible to overestimate the
value of this grain, particularly in
Southern Georgia. It seems pecu
liarly adapted to the soft, and since
tlie discovery of tlie non-rusting va-
iclies, seldom fails to yield a gener
ous return for the labor and expense
of cultivation. The farmer, with his
old fields and spare ground laid down
in oats, commencing to sow as earlv
as September, need never fear hav
ing to draw upon the graneries nfthc
West for bread or stock food.
With a very slight expenditure of
trouble, enough oats can be harvested
to feed every plow animal the entire
car round. Then, utter the crop
lias hcen taken off, field peas may be
planted to great advantage, which
will ensure fat hogs and abundance
of milk and butter, or the land can
bo allowed to come up in crab or
crow-foot grass, which, when cut at
the right siage and properly cured,
arc equal to the best Northern hay.
Wc hope our planters, therefore,
will not he discouraged, even if they
havc in pnrt lost their oats from tlie
cold, but go to work and renew their
fields with tills admirable grain and
forage crop.”

WINTER GOODS at

A gloomy report comes from Germany
of hard times, aggravated by the severity
ot the winter. The Berlin correspond
ent of a London paper writes that gener
a! despondency and bitterness prevail.
The depression of industry and trade is
worse than ever, so that the bankruptcy
ourthas to enlarge its buildings; the
distress among the lower classes is ex
treme; the papers tell heartrending sto
ries about starving people; the clergy and
tlie poor !aw guardians appeal every day
to the public for contributions in order to
stave off the worst sufferings of the very
poorest.
Buggies! Buggies! Buggies! Cheaper
Ilian ever brought to this market. Good
