TO SECURE A
BARGAIN!
10,000 ACRES OF
PINE LAND
In One Body,
FOrt ©ALEI.
Attention, Everybody ! !
I OFFER FOR SALE A VALUABLE BODY OF
Land containing
10,000 Acres
Situated immediately on the Altamaha River, fif
teen miles from Darien, and extending for fifteen
miles up the River, along which water front there
are five Steamboat Landings, and one regularly
Chartered Ferry,
In successful operation; being about twenty
miles from the thriving city of Bruntwick. A
particular feature ol tbcßO lauds is the existence
of numerous Lakes at short distances—said Lakes
being valuable iu rafting any kind of timber. Be
ing at a low stage of the water on tide-way, tim
ber can be brought to Darien at all times of tho
year in from twelve to twenty-four hours. For
timber of
PITCH PINE, OAK, HICKORY,
POPLAR AND CYPRESS.
They have no superior iu the South, tieir being
on tide-way, put them abovo all other Timber
Lauds on the Altamaha iu easy access to mar-
The near proximity of these lands to Darien
makes the cost of drifting nominal, when com
pared with prico paid from farther up the |river.
An immense amount of
WOOD
Can ho sold annually to Steamboats plying on the
River, and in the cities of Savanuah, Darien and
Brunswick.
In addition to the Rivet for transportation to
market, the Macon k Brunswick Railroad runs
along the back portion of tho lands for milCB, be
ing at no place more than two miles from the
line. For
these lauds offer unusual inducements, being es
pecially adapted to the growing of Cotton.jCorn,
Sugar Cane, Oats, Irish and Sweet Potatoes, and
all Fruits aud Vegetables that can be grown in
the Southern country. On the lands aro several
Farms containing fair houses for the county, and
several hundred acres of clearing in successful
cultivation.
TXZAU IIIUTVXjTII
Of the highlands is good, a3 the appearance of the
inhabitants will indicate.
Twenty miles from Darien and immediately ou
the River may be found au immense quantity
of
Brick Clay.
This Clay was thoroughly examined Sby a gen
tleniau having both a Practical and Scientific
knowledge o F the ueces ary requirements of clay
for Brick. The fact of its being at tho very
Waters IMge
Tile manufacture of Brick eoulJjbc
carried ou with small Capital
Iu tho event of the completion of tho
Great Western
CANAL,
Which at present seems very probabie at an early
day, the value of these lauds would be greatly
enhanced, aud prove a splendid investment to the
purchaser.
THE INCREASING
Demand for Pitch Pine will in a few years thin
out the vast forests of Pine in the South, aud
cause
PITCH PIXEIAMKER
To bring a fabulous price in tho markets of the
world.
In the present depressed condition offiuislnoss,
capitalists can do no better than invest their sur
plus funds in this species of property.
I would also sell about One Hundred Head of
STOCK CATTLE,
Timber Carts and Teams,
And also my entire stock of IIOGS. Tlie range
for miles is considered as good for cattle aud

It was the second time he had ac
companied tho young lady homo
from one of these little social par
ties which aro gotton up to bring
fond hearts a step nearer to each
other.
"When they reached tho gate she
askod him if ho wouldn’t come iu.
Ho said ho would, and he followed
her into tho house. “It was a calm,
still night,” and the hour was so late
that he had no fear of seeing the old
folks. Sarah took his hat, told him
to sit down and slio left the room
to lay off her things. She was hard
ly gone before her mother came in,
smiled sweetly, and dropping down
by the side of the young man she
said:
“I always did say that if a poor
but respectable young man fell in
love with Sarah he should have my
consent. Some mothers would sac
rifice their daughter’s happiness for
a man’s riches, but I am not of that
class.”
The young man gave a start of
alarm. * He didn’t know whether
ho liked Sarah or not, and he had
not dreamed of such a thing as mar
riage. , y
“She has acknowledged to me that
she loves you,” continued the moth
er, “and whatever is for her happi
ness is for mine.”
The young man gave two starts of
alarm this time and lie felt llis cheeks
grow pale.
“I—l liavent ”he stamcred,
when she said:
“Oh, never mind. I know you
haven’t much money, but of course
you’ll live with me. We’ll take in
boarders, and I’ll risk but that we’ll
get along all right.”
It was a bad situation. He hadn’t
even looked love at Sarah, and he
felt that he ought to undeceive the
mother.
“I hadn’t no idea of—of —” he
stamered, when she held up her
hands and said:
“I know you hadn't, but it is all
right. With your wages aud what
the boarders wo take bring in we
shall get along as snug as a bug in a
rug.”
“But, madam, but—but ”
“All I ask is that you be good to*
her,” interrupted tho mother. “Sa
rah has a tender heart and a loving
nature, and if you should bo cross
and ugly it would break her down
with n a week.”
The young man's eyes stood out
like cocbanuts in a show-window,
and he rose and tried to say some
thing. He said:
“Great Heavens! madam, I can’t
permit 1”
“Never mind about tho thanks,’
slio interrupted. “I don’t believe
in long courtships myself, and let me
suggost an early day fot- the mar
raigo. The 11th of Septombor is my
birthday, and it would bo nice to be
married on that day.”
“But—but—but—!” ho gasped.
“There, there, I don’t expoct any
speech in reply,” she laughed. “Yon
and Sarah fix‘it up to-night and I'll
advertise for twelve boarders light
away. I’ll try and be a model
mother-in-law. I believe I am
good-tempered and kind-hearted,
though I did once follow a young
man two hundred miles and shoot
the top of his head off for agroeing
to marry Sarah and then jumping
the county!”
She patted him on the head and
sailed out, and now that young man
wants advice. Ho wants to know
whether he had better get in the
way of a locomotive or to go and
slide off the wharf.— Detroit Free

A youngster being required
to write a composition upon some
portion of the human body selected
that which unites the head to the
body, and expounded as follows:
“A throat is convenient to have, es
pecially to roosters and ministers.
The former eats corn and crows
with it; the latter preaches through
liis’n, and then ties it up. This is
pretty- much all I can think of about
necks.”

keeping the flies off of it.

A Story for the Girls.
Sit down on the porch, children,
and let me tell you about Aunt Ra
chel, and tho Story she once told
mo. One day, when I was about
twelve years old, I had planned to
go after Straw-berries, but Aunt
Rachel said to me: “A girl of your
age should begin to learn how to
do housework. Takeoff your hat,
roll up your sleeves, and help me to
do the baking.”
I pouted and sighed and shed
tears, but was encouraged by the
promise that I might go after the
baking. Under good Aunt Rachel’s
direction, I mixed up a big loaf of
bread, placed it on a tin as bright
as anew dollar, and- was rubbing
the flour off my hands when she
called out: “This will never, never
do, child—you haven’t scraped your
bread-bowl clean.”
I shall never forget the picture
she made standing there, her eyes
regarding mo sternly, one hand
resting on her hip, while in the oth
er she held tho untidy bowl.
“It will never do, child,” she went
on; “it is not only untidy, but it
makes too much waste; to be a good
housekeeper, you must learn to be
economical. You have heard the sto
ry of the young man who wanted an
economical wife ?”
* No!” I answered, and I might
have added that I didn’t wish to hear
it, either.
“Well” she continued, “he was a
very likely young man and he want
ed a carefui wife, so he thought of a
way he could find out. One morn
ing he went to call upon the differ
ent girls of his acquaintance, and
asked them each for tho scrapings
of their bread-bowls to feed his
horses. You see they all wanted
him, so they got all they could for
him. Finally, he found a girl who
hadn’nt any, so he asked her to be
his wife, because lie thought her to
be the most economical. ‘Now’ said
Aunt Rachel triumphantly, ‘suppose
a young man should ask you for the
scrapings of your bread-bowl, what
would you say?’”
“What could I say?” I repoated
scornfully; “why I’d tell him if lie
couldn’t afford to buy oats for his
horses, they might starve. I would
not rob the pigs to feed them.
I suppose Aunt Rachel thought,
that lesson was all lost on me; but
as true as you live, I never lcnead
the bread to this day, withont.think
ing of her lesson in economy. — De

JS’gT’ A California sheriff, who had
got tired of having conscience
stricken Nathan murderers give
themselves np and desire free trans
portation to New York, there to ex
piate their crime on the gallows,
addressed tho last candidate as fol
lows: “to your conscience ain’t
easy, ch ?” “Ah,” replied the mur
derer, “I have tho curse of Cain up
on my brow; I wander, but find no
rest.” “And you’re the man?” “I
am.” “And you want to bo hang
ed?” “I feel that I shant rest easy
till I am hanged.” “Well, my friend,”
replied tho Sheriff, thoughtfully,
“the county treasury ain’t well fix
ed at present, and I don’t w r ant to
take any risks in case you’re not
the man and are just fishing for a
free ride to New York. Besides,
those Now York courts can’t be
trusted to hang a man. On the
whole, as you say you deserve to be
killed and want to be killed, and as
it can’t make much difference to
you or society how you aro killed,
so long as you arc, I guess I’ll kill
you myself.” So saying, lie drew
his revolver, but that conscience
stricken murderer had departed in
the direction of Alaska with such
fervor that the people could not seo
the brand of Cain on his brow' for
dust.
ftjr A negro being asked what
lie was in jail for, said it
was for borrowing money. “But,”
said the questioner, “they don’t
put people in jail for borrowing
money.” “Yes,” said the darkey,
“but I had to knock the man down
free or fo’ times before ho would
lend it to me.”
jgpsr A ragged little urchin came
to a lady’s door, asking for old
clothes. She brought him a pair

would boa comfortable fit. The
