Funeral Notice.
The friends and acquaintances of “Attor
neys pro Prosecution” and “Citizen ’A Tem
po” are respectfully invited to attend at —
Straiu’s Soda Fount this afternoon at four
o’clock—the burial services of the “Hatchet”
tnat has been raised between them lor some
time past.
This invitation has been extended by a
mutual friend, who feels himself authorized
by the following correspondence to do so :
“ATTORNEYS PRO PROSECUTION” TO “CITIZEN A
TEMPO.”
Dear Friend:
Can we, after having said all that we have
through public print against you, presume—
dare, we might say—to address you by so
fond a name as that used above? Say not
dear the boon shall be denied us,
for you knoweth sufficiently well the true
ness of affection to convince you that the
epithets used in the correspondence in ques
tion were only resorted to as “a drowning
man catches at a straw.” Having no other
means of defence, we could but adopt such
a style as we thought would at once “dry
you up:” thinking, that you would be satis
fied to take our statements and not put your'
self to the trouble to obtain those infernal affi
davits.
Can’t we meet upon some half-way ground
where the matter can be adjusted without
further misunderstanding?
Attorneys, Ac.
REPLY OF “CITIZEN ’a TEMPO.”
Gentlemen :
Wolds are inadequate to express the deep
feeling of gratitude I experience in my oft
repeated perusals of your highly esteemed
favor. Certainly, nothing could afford me
more pleasure I, myself, having beep sore
ly put to it—than to embrace the opportuni
ty that you offer tor an amicable settlement.
Could 1 but have felt that such a proposition
from me would have been entertained 1 >y* you.
rest assured my best of friends, that it would
long since have been made.
I would suggest the earliest moment fur
this meeting, and at the same time, (knowing
our weaknesses) allow me to suggest that a
bolt or two of ten-quarter sheeting be pro
vided, that our tears may not be allowed to
flow without wherewith to dry them.

Sailing of t lie Schooner “Nettle Langdon”
lor Ilarien, Ga.
Boston, Mass.. J ly 28, 1874.
Mr. Editor:
It was our good lortune to be one of the in
vited guests who accompanied this fine ves
sel on her starting for Darien.
We received an invitation from her own
ers. Messrs. W. C. Haskins, Esq., Maj. C. S.
Langdon, of Darien, Ga., Abel Geve, Esq.,
and Enos Collins, Captain commanding, and
at ten o’clock, this A. M., we repaired to
Lewis’ wharf and embarked. Here we were
shown one of the finest vessels aflo it—she is
three-masted, and built in the most thorough
manner and finished in tip top style, and
named alter the estimable lady of Maj. Lang
don.
Shortly after the hour above named, she
was taken in tow by the steam tug “Emily”
and was ploughing her way dow’n the harbor
in fine style. The party was soon made to
ft el themselves at home, and enjoyed the
sail in high glee. About twelve o’clock we
were summoned to a splendid c>illation and
a pleasant hour was whiled away iu discuss
ing the viands and amid the popping of
corks. Among the guests present were
John Trickey, Esq., E. H. Jewett, M. W.
Rice, surveyor, J. S. Huckins, Esq., Alfred
Mndge, B. F. Hayes, Jas J. Manning, B. W.
Witherspoon, Geo. James, C. H. Soule, W.
F. Emery, Thos. McKinsley, Capt. D. W.
Davis of Darien, Capt. John Malcom of Do
boy. We parted company W’ith the schooner
at Minots Ledge and embarked on the Em
ily, with cheers for the schooner and her
name-sake, and sped on our way to Boston,
having enjoyed one of the pleasantest re
unions that has fallen tc our lot for some
time.

A proposition for an organization of the
above nature has been upon the tapis for
some time. On Tuesday a preliminary meet
ing was held in DeDoi rue’s whare bouse,
which is used as the County Court room.
Col. Spalding presided and Capt. Atkins
acted as Secretary. A committee of five,
consisting of Col. Spalding, W. W. Churchill,
\V. R. Gignilliat, J. N. Winn and J. A. At
wood were appointed to draft a Constitution
and By-Laws, and to report the same witb
other necessary matters of interest, at the
same place on Tuesday, August lltli, at 11
o’clock, a. m.
This is a step in the right direction, and
one that will eventually well repav these
public spirited gentlemen. It has long since
surprised us that such creditable institu
tions have been so long allowed to pass un
noticed by our citizens, since every advan.
tage is offered by the commercial and mer
cantile importance of this city to encourage
such enterprises We wish this most laud
ble undertaking a successful career.
Come one, come all to Fulton’s and be
convinced. *2t.

Our School System
We urge the public to a more interested
attention to our school-system, if we have
any. Hitherto several private schools
been conducted by non-professio al teai s,
and to the bert of their ability, but ouh so
long as their pecuniary needs demanded the
employment. The Episcopal church, owing
to a pledge made five years ago, has main
tained a semi-parochial school, but more
from principle than for emolument. The
Public School is but. a three months affair.
We need a first-class graded school, 'ihe
primary,intermediate and graduating depart
ments should be under different teachers.
There should be a well-selected and graded
system of studies and corresponding text
books. As thorough an education can he
acquired here as elsewhere, unless it lie
a University or professional course. First
of all, we need a suitable building, and one
that will answer for other public purposes,
(if proper) when required. It should be com
pleted with the necessary furniture and ap
pliances of a first-rate academy ut the pres
ent dav.
The main question is. bow can such a
school be supported ? The Public School
Fund gave slsolast year;it could yield S2OO.
1 here are about 100 children within the school
years, and some from other portions of tb e
county would come, as was the case last win
ter, and would board here to obtain a bet
ter education than can be had in thei* 1 field
schools.” Allowing lour terms often weeks
each, as has been the late custom here, and
charging, on. the average, five dollars for
each pupil, per tßrm, we would have $2 >OO.
The Mclntosh County Academy Fund might
also be made useful. Tlie next Legislature
could abolish the old charter, and hand the
property over to the County Commissioners
of Education, under necessary bonds, to dis
pose of the same and invest the proceeds in
United States registered bonds of lon date.
This would be the saftest security, with the
most certaiu and prompt interest If this
property is worth anything it should yield at
least five hundred dollars per annum. The
whole amount of income thus figured would
be $2700, a sum sufficient to pay resident
teachers for their five hours daily labor. W,
feel satisfied that if such a consumillion
could be assured, that our people would
gladly contribute the funds necessary to
erect the required building.
We would also suggest, that to avoid any
jealousy, each religious denomination be rep
resented by one member of the Board, to be
chosen by his sect, and also that the non
religious community have a representative
who should be the School Commissioner,
that no one holding any public office
be a member; that no clergyman be a
teacher.
The locality could be either on the Ridge
or in Darien, conveyances being provided
for the pupils who lived at the place not se
lected. or it might be erected h If-way on
the Back-road, which might possibly cause
anew village to be built in time We throw
out these hints to elicit a-thorough discus
sion of the whole subject, not with a coi.lo
vf.sial spirit, but simply to ascern iu wheth
er or net, the school-system proposed cannot
be made a cei taintv.

Mr. Chairman :
The Committee appointed at the meeting
held in this city on the 28th inst., in refer
ence to the establishment of a first-class
Male and Female School in or near this
place, beg leave to submit the following re
port:
We have hurriedly canvassed this city and
the Ridge and feel warranted m reporting
00 paying scholars, and 8 scholarships gen
erally tendered by some of our liberal mind
ed citizens, who seem to appreciate most
fully the importance of establishing some
good and permanent mode of education in
our midst. We have not be able to go into
the country any great distance, but have as
surances til t the people of the county are
fullya'ivo to the efforts we are now making and
will gladly give us their support and assis
tance.
We have been unable to confer with the
Board of Commissioners of the Mclntosh
County Academy, owing to the fact that they
could not procure a meeting of their Board,
but are assured by their Chairman that, in
his opinion they will give us their cordial
co-operation
The Chairman of the County Board of Ed
ucation Peis warranted in saving that they
will give us all the assistance that is in their
• power to In-stow; being fully authorized by
the law of the State establishing public
schools to assist independent organizations,
where there is a prospect of general good.
So wei! assured are we that there can be
as good a school established here as iu
any otiu'r section of the State, we feel
authorized in advising immediate action and
would therefore recommend:
Ist. That this meeting elect a permanent
Board of Trustees, seven in number to serve
for the term of three (8; years, and with
power to fill any vacancies that may occur
m their Board during said Term And that
said Boa: and lie requested to have the school
opened on the first of October next, under
such name, rules and regulations as they
may deem best.
2d. That the permanent school house be
('staiilishetl at some point as near Darien as
limit : .aid advantage of location will admit.
8 1 l int the Trustees be requested to reut
■ b iilding to be used as a school house un
til other arrangements can be perfected.
4th. That it is the sense of this meeting
that the Trustees should apply as soon as
pas ;itile for a charter under such a name as
they may adopt.
The Committee desire, in conclusion to
give expression to the pleasure and gratitioa
i m it a o,ded them at the universal appro
val tendered by all with whom they have
come in content and feel that they are justi

success is energy.

Isaac M Aiken, Secretary.
Mr. Pease Explains.
Elitor Darien Timber Gazette :
Yourself and the public are glad to find 7
this agitation has about received its quietus*
As it doesn’t seem nice to be charged with
misrepresentation I have one word to say.
That a call for the Military was made is
not denied.
That the discretion of the commander was
used and the aid refused, remains as stated
That, offer of a posse was made, is allowed.
That ;t would have been forth coming was
doubted. If it had it was not to be desired.
Undisciplined, disorderly, indiscreet; more
to be dreaded than coveted. Its offer seemed
a mockery.
Organized force was our desire. The re
quirement of the Governor’s order was a
postponement quite indefinite. He wus far
away. Telegraph down as was its habit; our
mail connection but once in three or four
days; uo time, could with prudence, be grant
ed ; immediate, prompt action was our ne
cessity, —the peril was iminent l —a riot had
occurred the previous day; wo expected one
on iliui day; the temper indicated it and wo
determined to make arrests. Prudence in
on msel, wisdom and power in action was re
quired for safety. A display of the military
force might awe and prevent chances of dire
disaster.
With these few sentences, I hope to have
no more occasion to consume your space,
and the public’s attention.
Truly I remain yours,
T. P. PEASE.
