"as accidentally drowned a shoit time since,
Ims been found. Oapt. Pete Ford has been
untiring in his efforts to recover the body,
having hired parties to search the river, and
always on the lookout himself. A few days
ago the body was discovered, whereupon
Captain Ford had a coffin made and the
• emains of Frank Collins were decently and
solemnly consigned to their last resting
place, on Doboy island.
The deceased was well-known in this com
munity and many regret his sudden and un
timely death. Honest and faithful, he was
always a favorite with his employers. Asa
c ook his place is hard to supply’.
Captain Ford deserves credit for the ener
gy.which he put forth to recover the re
mains and for having him buried, bearing
all expense himself.

The Commissioners Again.
Editor Gazette:
Mv attention has been called to a para
graph in the local column of your paper re
ferring to the general complaint, that is be
ing daily made, of the administration of the
affairs of the city and county by the present
Board of Commissioners. That there is an
almost universal dissatisfaction with the
present incumbents is a fact too palpable for
any to attempt to disprove. That there is
cause for this dissatisfaction, I suppose the
peop'e who complain, and whose servants
the Board of Commissioners are, are the
best judges. I desire, as a member of this
board to place myself properly before the
community, and take this means to declare
mv willingness and anxiety to resign the po
sition I hold, and give the citizens an o>i
portunity of suggesting someone who will
discharge the duties more acceptably. There
maybe other members (I trust the whole
board), who may he of the same mind. I
speak for myself, and probably for the
rest of the board, when I say that I
have served my fellow-citizens in this ca
pacity, as well as I knew how, much to my
inconvenience and personal detriment, with
out fee or reward (save the fault finding and
abuse of the community), and I think it is
high time that other parties take their turn.
Rotatiou iu this office would, in my opinion,
have a beneficial effect. There is in my
mind a defect in the law creating this board,
and which should be remedied at the next
session of our Legislature; the membeis of
the board should, in my opinion, be ap
pointed every year, ami not bold their office
ad-libitum. A plan as suggested by one of
our citizens for making these appointments,
and which appears to me to be feasible and
good, is to have the Judge of the Superior
Court make the appointments, upon the re
commendation of the grand jury, at each
fall term of the court. The people, then,
would have an opportunity of ousting any
of or all the board should they prove faith
less in the discharge of their duties. The
duties of this office would further, not be
so onerous, as there would be opportunities
offered to have all citizens share in their dis
charge. Does it not strike you, Mr. Editor,
that although the Commissioners have
sinned, that they have, been sinned against?
Have they received that support from the
community at large that they are entitled
to? Do the people take that interest in the
affairs of the city and county which they
should do?'Are they not too much absorbed
with their business to give any attention to
either county or municipal matters? I
doubt very much, if the city of Darien was
canvassed to-lay, seven good men could
be fo ml w’ho would willingly accept this
position. They would all think it to much
of a sacrifice of their private interests to do
so. I would lespecifully suggest that the
citizens meet, and formally request tin
members of the present board to resign, i!
hey are not pleased with their management
f affairs. Tin members of the board sme
,v have self-respect enough to heed their
eiies*.s. It strikes me that is the proper
.vav to get at the matter, and is more in
rjiitig with tlie dignity ol citizens, than
-treet corner criticisms and grumblings.

pS- We respectfully call the attention of

Messrs. Wilcox & Churchill. We have been

Over Board. —On Thursday’ morning as
one of our merchants with a “green-horn”
in tow were strolling along the river front
the merchant concluded to visit the beauti
ful little sloop lying in the river. “Greeny”
was invited aboard, und after some hesita
tion and considerable persuasion managed
to get aboard. After partakiug ol the hos
pitalities of the vessel they started ashore,
with our mercantile friend in the lead, who
had just descended into a small boat along
side, when his rural companion fearing he
would be left, made one desperate leap and
landed upon the gunwail of the small boat,
capsizing all hands in the liver.
Our genial friend Web. Davis, who can
apprieiate a joke, even if is a wet one, was
standing in the back piazza of the Magnolia
House and witnessed the whole affair. Web.
laughed until be felt that it was doubtful
if he could do justice to a square meal.
Masonic Soiree.
A soiree will be held by the members of

Building. —About two weeks ago, a whole
block of buildings were converted into
smoke and ashes, and a desolate space
marked the place of busy thriving trade.
Already the ruins are cleared away, new
buildings are commenced and the sound of
the hammer and the saw is heard, telling
of energy that rises superior to misfortune.
This is ’.lie spirit that pr anises and insures
success.
The Market. —Fu:ton market beef is the
( raise of all and has a reputation of as
broad as the country. A stroll through our
market, kept by C. O. Fulton, revealed the
fact that our beef market if unknown to
fame is not undeserving of special merit
and mention. The beef is from the rich,
nutricious pastures of the coast, and is fat,
juicy and tender, such beef as even Virgin
ia or Fulton Market would not blush to own
and offer.
This is a goodly region and its offerings
of beef, pork, fish, oysters and vegetables
are of the best kind. To this is added a
repaying soil and a soft and genial climate,
making this portion of Georgia a delight
and promise to those who know it well.
