Eire Tast Evening.
About So eloek lust evening the alarm o:
lire was sounded, which caused the streets,
in a few minutes, to be crowded with fire
men uml others. It was ascertained to bo
at the residence of Mr A A Boyd, In th
Fifth Ward. The flames were quenched er
the firemen arrived. It was evidently the
work of an Incendiary. Splinters, which
were used to kindle, wore found underneath
the northwestern portion of the building.
The officers have th© mattor in hand, ami
will use every effort to sift the matter to tho
botton. The loss Is about 850. Mr John
Colvin Is the owner of the property.
©#«Ml Advice.
Advice la easily obtained. Not even the
miser will refrain from giving, but good ad
vice Is seldom taken. A tramp Is capable
of telling one of the many evils of tho world,
how easy It Is to drift Into the black stream
of degradation, how swiftly swept to the
lowest pit of wicKedness, and how hard to
regain your former place. Advice he has In
abundance, and much of It Is good. It Is a
noted fact that men, the younger ones espe
cially, are loth to take advice from experi
enced persons. A young man will fall Into
had habits, and become careless as to his
dress — something which Is altogether
wrong, when Thornton A Acee, the well-
known clothiers, are selling goods at such
moderate prices. They have a complete
stock, and all can be suited as to quality or
price. See a card In another column, and
examine their stocK.

On Board*Str. T. H. Moore,)
April 11th, 1879. /
Enquirer-Sun: Tho steamer T H Moore
left your wharf Saturday last at 10% o’clock
a m, and, after making seventeen landings,
arrived at Eufaula at 6^ p m. There we
found the excursionists awniting—about
forty men, women and children, for a trip
to the bay and fishing lakes.
While lying at Eufaula,oneof our popular
pilots came on board and was followed soon
afterwards by a party Jiving in Eufaula.
We were called aside and Informed that
there was a noted burglar on board, and to
bo on the lookout for him. He was asked
to point out the gentleman. Pointing his
finger at the honest pilot, we Informed him
that wo Knew the party, and that it would
not do to let B know it. Soon afterwards
the aforesaid informer was seen maxing a
race-horse speed up the cliff with B after
him. There would have been a burial next
day had he been overtaken.
We left Eufaula about ten o’clocK and the
Geo W Wylly soon followed, she being at
the wharf when we arrived. A few hours
afterward* the Wylly overtook ub, and In
attempting to pass the Moore locked with
her, and for two and a half hours, we ran
side by side. Tho race was one of tho most
exciting we have ever witnessed on the
Chattahoochee river, and tho pleasant in
terchanges between the officers of each
boat, show that there is not such bitter feel
ings ns we have been led to believe.
On arriving at Neal’s Landing we were
cordially greeted by our clever townsmen,
Charley Watt and his father,also Col Coxer
and Jesse Williams, two of the enterprising
men of that section of Florida.
The Sabbath was never more strictly ob
served on the river—our excursionists near
ly all being good church members.
Many pleasant incidents occurred en
route to the bay. Love maxing—Oh, me!
It reminded me of our young days. Just
thinx of it—beautiful moon light nights,
tho weather most delightful, couples sit
ting off at respectable distances, a splendid
hand of music, low murmuring whispers,
clearing of the throat—aud the pledge, etc.
I mention this to you, as you have never
been there yourself.
Wo met the steamer Wm 8 Holt at Hay
ward's lading en route to Columbus. Bhe
discharged freight, etc., and with a doff of
our hat to Captains Kllnk and Brockway,
departed.
Monday morning the sport begun in earn
est. The excursionists had supplied them
selves with plenty of ammunition and
arms. Aligators, poor things, Rtood no
chance, and many were killed and wound
ed, Atone point on the river our friend
Joe S , of E , thought he would go
fishing, Capt Williams assuring Joe that
he would remain four or li\ e hours. The
preperatlons he made looked as though he
intended to stay a day or two. After fish
ing several hours, we learn he caught oight
Kittens, (in a box). At nearly all points of
interest Capt Williams stopped the boat
and gave tho party full time to make ex
plorations and gather flowers. At Och6sso
they had two hours to view the two Im
mense oaks. By actual measurement of
these trees the circumference of one Is 23 1-2
feet, and In diameter 7 1-2 feet. The branch
of the largest measures 77 feet, and tiro
two trees cover (13 yards length, and 50
yards breadth.
Many conters were killed by our friend
lull, of Eufaula (tarlpans).
We arrived at Apalachicola, Monday
morning at W/± a m, and almost the first
man we met was our friend Pollard (Pollard
tfc Harris), who Is on a tour with his wife,
Wo heard of Gen French, Col Shepherd and
his party, but did not have the pleasure of
meeting them, as they were out sailing.
hours after our arrival preparations
were made to start to Laxe Wimico, fifteen
miles above Apalachicola. Wo arrived In
good time and had two and a half hou
good fishing. The result was 420 bream.trout
and cat fish. At night the dance began
lasted until 12 o’clocK. Captai.i Wi’.dam
aroused the party at 5 o’clock next morn in
to allow thorn a good fishing. You:
pondent having been furnished with a
‘bob” by tho gentlemanly and courteous R
M Chafer, a merchant at Apalachicola, suc
ceeded in hauling In one trout. The result
of the morning’s catch was 540 bream, cat
aud trout.
The anchor was hauled in, when tho
Moore steamed back to Apalachicola and
after a couple of hours we lieuded for 8t
George's Island. When wo got into salt wa
ter many of our fair excursionists began to
look into the water In search offish, shells,
Many were the excuses for paleness.
8ome from over exercise, others, they had
eaten too much, they all fed the little fishes.
At St George’s Island the party scattered In
all directions—some gathering shells and
curiosities, some fishing and others shoot
ing at pelicans, gulls, and smaller fowls.
After two hours stay the whistle blew. All
were soon on board, and the boat headed for
the city of Apalachicola,where she remained
several hours, taxing on guano and other
freight. We were visited while
lying at the wharf with a severe
rain storm which lasted several
hours. Captain Williams made two or
three attempts to back his boat down and
take on a lot of lumber, but so severe was
the storm that he abandoned the Idea. At
11 o'clock, while the wind was still blowing
severely and tho night as dark as Egypt,
the moorings were unloosed and wo com
menced tho homeward trip.
Many amusing incidents happened.- Our
friend Capt John A Walker espied from alar
an immense alligator. It was agreed that
no one shoot at tho ’gator but he. Four
splendid shots were made, and still the
amphibious animal (which will eat a hog
lti a minute) lay as silent as a log, which It
proved to be.
At Rico’s Bluff every ono laid in a boun
tiful supply of orange blossoms, and at
other points abundance of flowers, moss
and sprigs were gathered.
When nearing Eufaula a meeting of tho
excursionists was held In the cabin, Dr H
M Weeden chairman, C W Gulce secretary,
On motion of Captain J A Walker, a com
mittee of three was appointed to draft res
olutions of thanks to the officers of the
Moore.
Tho following were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That wo all feel under many
obligations to Captain I J Williams for his
uniform Kindness and polite attention to us
during our most pleasant trip, a
return him our he »rtfe t thanks.
ResolvoJ, That we also extend to Mr O W
Brommell, the genial clerk, our slncero
thanks for his extreme Kindness In so assid
uously looking after our welfare aud pleas-
Resolved. That we feel under many obli
gations to all the other officers and all con
nected with the steamer T H Moore for their
many courteous and polite attentions, and
we cheerfully commend to all who desire a
pleasant trip to the bay, the steamer T II
Moore.
Resolved, That we do also return thanks
to the people of Apalachicola for their mauy
coun sies.
Resolved, That these resolutions be pub
lished.
Dr E B Johnson,
.Tno W Bowden,
W F Dent,
Committee.
Capt Williams and Mr Brommell, In a
few appropriate remarks, thanxed the ex
cursionists for the complimentary manner
In which they were spoken of. Captain
Williams made the longest speech it has
over been our opportunity to hear. We
would give it In this letter but it would oc
cupy too much of your valuable space.
At 101* p m, we arrived at Eufaula, where
the excursionists disembarked. Not au In.

Mounted on a sorrel horse, I turned his
tall and my bacx to the glades of classic
Hatchechubbee; and steering in a direction
northeast by east, by southwest by north
by south, tacxed along the road till land
the horse bore down ou Glennville. Our
voyage so far had been, to use a nautical
phrase, rather rough—the sorrel reminding
me of a long ship in a chopping sea, which
shaxes herself and her passengers from
stern to stem. I had been drinking a ialr
quantity of sw’eet milk before starting, so
Just as I dismounted from the sorrel at Mr
John Ryan’s store, he asked me what
made my face loox so greasy. I answered
that I couldn’t tell unless, Indeed, it was
butter that was breaking out through my
skin from the churning the horse had given
me.
But goaks aside. I do not remember see
ing in all my travels a place hastening to
decay so fastly or so surely as Glennville.
The houses have all an appearance of pre
mature age about them. Their heads or
roofs are shedding, with the assistance of
passing storms, their linir or shingles, or
whatever else one might call them. They
have a weak look about tho knees, that
gives them a tottering appearance and
makes them loox,like a hatless drunkard
tottering homewards—elbowing out of his
way his fellow-passengers (the houses). The
fences look as if they were tired of standing
guard around such dilapidated looking
structures, and are forcing themselves
further out on the sidewalks, as If they
wanted to emigrate to a better country. As
for the paint that used to cover them, why,
its gone already; it was too impatient to
wait for the balance. One house I might
mention is owned and inhabited by Mr
Burrell Ilodmn, (ifot the Hodson that goes
up in balloous In Hyde Park) is the neatest
and most substantial on the Beale road en
trance. This gentleman once gave his
dwelling a coat of white paint, which re
minded me of a story I once heard concern
ing a Tipperary painter who was employed
to give a coat of green paint to a wagon,
which he did, but a shower of rain coining
up during the night washed all thepaint off.
IIow Is this?” asxed his employer the
next day. ‘‘I thought you painted this
wagon ?”
‘‘So I did, sur.”
“You did! What color?”
“Green, sur.”
“Green! Why goodness me, man, wbat
Kind of green?”
“Invisible green, sur.”
So also with friend Hodson's house—It
was invisible white lie used.
The male college has been burned to the
ground, and the female college, with its
thousand, or I should say without its thou
sand panes of glass, wears anything but an
(un) enlightened loox, so far as It gives
opportunity to the sun to find an easy en
trance. It would be too saddening to
merate all the delapidations of this place,
and so I thought ns I quoted an extract from
Burke’s “Impeachment of Warren Hast
ings,” "what war l^as thus laid waste the
fertile fields of this once beautiful and po*p-
ular country ?—what religious rage, etc.?
An old gentleman to whom I addressed
the quotation responded, “It’s none of
them.”
“What then?” I asked.
“Whlsxey.”
“My God, man, no; you aro mistaken
This is tho most abstemious village I ever
mot, and I am sure the houses don’t drink.
•“I don’t mean that—it’s the want of whis
key.”
“Well now, old man, I believe yon’re
right. Tho houses do look like as if a small
drop might help them.”
“And tho people too,” he added.
“I don’t suppose there is any difficulty in
getting whiskey, old man; the merchants
here sell It, no doubt.”
Not a drop; there’s a law against It. W<
have so much learning and religion here It
might interfere with them.
“Well, you get It elsewhere. Seale for in
stance, and if I am not mistaken, I think
everyone I saw coming Into town to-day
had a bottle sticking out from his back
pocket.”
“That’s water. You see the wells are run
ning so dry, such men have to bring in a
bottle of water every day. ”
“That accounts for it, eh? Well, now, old
man, can you tell me what makes so many
of the inhabitants have such red noses? ”
“Well, you see. these are some of our best
citizens, who, becoming disgusted with the
efforts of some parties to bring liquor into
Glennville, have signified their intentions
to go out to the Indian country to Join tho
red skins, and they think It would be ad
visable to change the color of their skins, so
you see they have commenced at the nose.’
“Good-bye, old man.”
“Good-bye, sir.”
Great preparations are being made In
Glennville for summer amusements. Col
bert Dawson, John Ryan, Squire Weston,
and others, are having the former site of
Mayor Dawson’s store smoothed off for a
“ Kro Kay ” ground, and marble or marvel
alley. This is the only amusement they ex
pect to have, unless It be the putting out of
a fire, at which Colbert Dawson, Raiford
Logan and Burrell Harris have shown
themselves adepts and veritable saliman-
ders.BColbert tells me that his friend Rai
ford saw a very huge volume of smoke
mounting skywards from the direction of
his domicile, and thinking that it was on
fire, waved his red silk handkerchief furi

Where Consumption—not always the
fatal tubercular consumption of tho
lungs, but general declino of vital en
ergy and wasting away without renew
al of tho tissues of tho body,—when
this surely shows itself the doctor stops
his usual prescriptions aud orders Cod
Liver Oil. Throe times a day the pa
tient tries to swallow the nauseous
dose, and as ofton feels that tho repul
sion it causes weakens the power of
nutrition and digestion far more than
it supplies nourishment to the debili
tated system. It is only by mingling
the Oil as in Scott’s Emulsion with the
Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda that
the disgusting taste and smell of it oan
be entirely removed. This mixture is
pure and smooth and pleasant as sweet
milk, and not only restores digestive
vigor to the fluids of the stomach, but
it enriches the blood and subdues all of
its scrofulous symptoms.
