These young men were burned out in the recent fire, but with an indomita ble will, hive built anew store and started business again, and we are gratified to know are doing a good bn* incss. Geoirge and Henry are too well known to need any praise from us. Bead their advertisement and then give them a call. —OtJR stores look busy this week and we are glad to hear our merchants say business is getting better. -Tee doleful sound of the hand organ can now be heard until a late hour at night. There is nothing so soothing as a dear hand organ. Now. if we only had a monkey. —Nearly all of our merchants have ad vertisements in the Gazette. Why not make it. unanimous ?

A general invitation is extended and the ladies especially invited to attend. S. W. Baker. Ip the Hirer. November 20th, 1874. Mr. Editor: —The following hulls were picked up in this neighborhood a few days since, They are supposed to have been written by some disgruntled timber cutter who has been sharp enough to discover the unpleasant attitude which the timber inspec tors at the port of Darien occupy. If they are Worthy a place-In your columns, I pre sume the author would have no objection to their publication. Very truly yours, Outsider. THE TIMBER INSPECTOR—HIS ACTS AND DOINGS. Timber cutter cuts the log, He puts it in the water, He floats it down to Darien town To get bis little quarter. He comes to boom, it matters not Whether morn, its noon or night. He nn ets them there in full array, With rods raised up to light. Says number one, “My dear sir, Shall I your raft inspect? My neighbors here woo and like the same. But pray do now leiiect— These oilier fellows all will steal— Arc bought up by the gang That sit in offices up in town, And use their little slang; But lam honest—as you know. I'm only the cutters’ man. Bather than steal an inch from you, I’ll adopt you own good plan-- Of plugging, hiding, Or doing any other thing, To whip the little clan up town. That belong to the timber ring.” Poor timber cutter taken in By this sweet way o’ talking, Pats the fellow on his raft And goes up towu a-walking. As soon as out of sight he is, The fellow goes to tliinkin', And says to himself, “1 know full well • That reinspectors are blinkin'; And if I do a little scratch Upon this timber leave, When settlement day comes with me A cent I wont receive.” Then, to save himself, he goes to work, He cuts, he bores, lie plunders— , His watch-word being all the time. “Make no mistakes or blunders.” If defects he fails to find, That does thq timber spoil, lie remembers the little hook up town That robs him of his toil. He says to himself. “The law is plain; I've read it o’er and oit, And rather than the buyer should lose, This sound stick must he soft. In other words, upon the bill I’ll put it down as rotten, And if the cutter says a word I'll tell him he’s forgotten. Yes, I’ll tell him all about it— The rot is under water — And if he don’t the law have changed lie'll never get 'bis quarter.’ And then when up the town I go, The buyer I’ll see at once; And tell him all about the trick I played on the cutter—a dunce.” SOLI LOQUY. “This double dealing you know I hate, But what am I to do ? I've got the cutter to please, you know. And please the buyer too. [For the Gazette ] Tii Needed School and the Efficient Teacher. The school-room exerts an influence next to that of the home circle upon the interest!; of society. The course of time bears off the older citizens, anti the. young move forward to assume the duties ancl responsibiliiLs ot bfe. It. is important to the public Welfare, that tlie young sh- uhl. be prepav* and by proper mental and moral training to meet ill,* responsibilities a id appropriately dis charge the duties of the cilia a. The school ami the efficient teacher have therefore pe culiar claims upon public consideration and individual support. An effort ic, being made to establish a prosperous colored school in Darien, and the wish is expressed on the part of iiuiay of the colored people that Col. Spencer take charge of the school. Such a school is a needed and comm Ridable enter prise. Darien is an eligible location, and Col. Spencer, from hie ripe general experi ence iu teaching, and from his special expe rience ia teaching colored Sabbath-schools by oral instruction before the war, in Lib erty county, would be an efficient instruc tor. The flourishing colored Sabbath-schools successfully Conducted by him at Walthonr ville and other locations in Liberty, attest his fitness for the field of usefulness. The utility of affording instruction to the colored youth acknowledged before the war, now be comes a pressing and practical necessity, now that they are of the citizens of the country. The developed industry and pros perity of the country are indissolubly -linked with good education and good morals. It is hoped (Hat the contemplated school for co! ored youths will soon be established and well sustained. It is believed that Col. Spencer would accept the charge of the school, assured of proper support, and de vote his ripe energies to that field of useful ness. Simil ir schools are successfully conducted at Savannah, Atlanta, Macon, and also in the town ot Blackshear. Let all the towns of the State establish similar institutions, till the enterprise shall reach the counties, giving surety for good citizens and a pros perous State. ' Philosopher. The Great Raffle ef “Climax,” Air. Amos E. Carr, the esteemed and popular landlord of the Alaguolia House in this city, has determined to raffle his mag nificent horse “Climax.” Air. Carr’s friends are at a loss to account for his willingness to part with this superb trotter. Some of the knowing ones liiut, however, that he must be going to get a wife and can’t af ford two such luxuries at the same time. At all events it is a settled fact that “Climax,” with elegant top buggy and harness, making the finest turnout that has ever been brought to this city, is up for raffle. There are one hundred chances at ten dollars a chance. A thou and dollars lor such a horse is “Cli max” alone, without any ot the trim mings, Ac., would be little enough. For those who have not seen him, we have just to describe to convince—imagine a dark bay stallion, almost approaching black, in the prime of life, with flowing mane, arched neck, small head, splendid nostril and eyes, well muscled, symmetrical limbs, gentle as a dog, and you have “Climax’ before you. Now get in the buggy behind him, and if you are not driving catch j our breath and take a good grip with hands and heels on the seat, for he moves like a meteor. But there are no tricks, and at the word he is down to a walk. His best recorded time is : 2 minutes 34 seconds, and be is so tractable that anj 1 lady or child can drive him. AV ho ever gets “Climax” will secure a treasure, and, without wishing anj'bodj’ any harm, we only hope that we may be the lucky man. bkeUhes By the AVaj. Saturday evening I lauded at tlie David son House, Brunswick. For comforting coal fires iu cold weather, neat and well fur nished rooms, where the weary may rest in comfort and sleep in peace, a table amply supplied with varied refreshments for the inner man, commend me to mine host Da vidson, of the Davidson House. Mine host, with his ample, rotund form, calm broad face, and hospitable greeting, is the imper sonation of the jolly landlord who likes good comforts liimsolf and knows how to provide the same for liis guests. In the crisp, bracing, cold atmosphere at 2 o’clock a. m., the AI AB. R R., carried a party of early-risers, en route for Darien, to station No. 1. Here Mr. and Airs. Washing ton provided for our comfort. In the early morning Air. Washington, who, if not dcs tiued to hold the reins of government and guide the State, did hold the veins over a pair of baj’s, and, with due dispatch, con veyed us in his hack to the lauding on the Altainaha, where the swift, staunch little steamer Daisy, with steam up, Awaited our coming. Air. Washington, who acted well his part and exemplified the truth that a good stage driver deserves more respect for his useful energy than an jgnoramous law maker, though crowned with the tvppi flat ion “Honorable,” now committed us to the care of Cnpt. Harper, who is “punetuous” to the time, and “energous” and skillful in navi gating the craft. The morning was bright and bracing, and at 9 o’clock tlie “energous” Captain loosed tlie Daisy from her mooring and proudly took the helm, while Ben, the wide-awake, attentive engineer, loosed the brakes and applied the steam, and the Daisy, like a thing of life, glided over the smooth waters of the Altamaha. Ben is a trump and always wins commendation. Captain Harper, for his just pride in his steamer, his skill in safely gliding over bars, and speed on the channel, and his attention to his passengers, will bo remembered as the “punetuous” Captain of the trim little steamer Daisy. This route to Darien from station No. 1., AI. A B. R. 11 , is expeditious and pleasant. At Darien we exchanged the Daisy for the spacious Magnolia House, conducted by Mr Carr. All the arrangements and appliances of this house, from the basement to the third story, show that one who lias adminis trative skill and knows how to manage a large hotel is in charge. The house is am ple, neat and comfortable; the servants prompt, ord rlv and attentive, and the table well supplied . with viands not only in due variety, but what is more important, cooked ala mode. The house has an inviting out look, and tlie promised comfort is more than fulfilled. Viator. Special Medina: of Hie Board cf County Commissioners. Darien, Nov. 23, 1874. Present -T. P. Pease, Chairman; James Walker, -Tas. L icklison, Jos. P. Gilson, 11. L. Morris. There being a quorum present, the Board was organized by the Chairman and the fol lowing business disposed of; Chany Thomas appeared before the Board and asked compensation for moving a conn, ty pauper, and was allowed So. The application of J. H. Hall and Alex. Blue, executors of the estate of 8. W. Wil son, for remission of taxes, was argued by Mr. Gignilliat. Decision postponed. Air. Gignilliat read petition of James K. Clarke asking for remission of taxes. A remission of $5,000 was granted on individ ual property, and the tax of $25,000 against J. K. Clarke on the tax digest, on stock in tride, be transferred to J. K. Clarke A Cos., as by return made to Deceiver of tax re turns. The petition of Col. Barclay, Inspector General of Timber, asking leave of absence for about ten days, was read and granted. The following resolution was offered bj’ Mr. Lacklison: That the Sheriff of said county be instructed to withdraw the levy upon the individual property- of James K. Clarke upon his payment of his individual tax as allowed, with costs. Carried. The Chairman, at his own discretion, to call a meeting for the discussion on “Tax in Trade.” No further business before the Board, they adjourned. Spalding Kenan, Clerk Board County Commissioners. How The Colored Folks op Mclntosh Kept Grant’s Thanksgiving Day. —We do not know the reason for it, but it is never theless true that the colored people of this county observed the 26th day of November as a day of solemn, fasting, humiliation, and prayer. From daylight until dark they did not eat a mouthful of victuals, and the ser vices at their several places of worship were numerous and lugubrious in the extreme, lasting until a late hour in the night. Whether this is the African idea of the way of observing “Thanksgiving day” in contoo distinction to the New England style of roast turkey and pumpkin pie, or whether it was regarded by them as an appropriate method of celebrating the great democratic triumph throughout the country, we are unable to say, but make a note of the occurrence as it happened. Live Oak Lodge No. 137.—We are inform ed that the annual election for the officers of this Lodge for the ensuing year occurred on Wednesday night, resulting in the choice of E. P. Champncy as Worshipful Master, (re elected), W. Roht. Gignilliat, as Senior War den, George Wannbacher as Junior Warden, Charles S. Langdon as Treasurer (re-elected), L. E. R. DeLorme as Secretary, and D. W. Davis, as Tyler (re-elected). We don’t be long to the brotherhood and can't tell what passed in the secret and solemn recesses of their splendid hall, but it is certain that if they enjoyed themselves as much up there in that airy chamber as they seem to when they came down amongst common folks,.the brotherlj’ love and kindly feelings ot Masons | towards one another is no myth but a beau tiful reality.
