HERE IS YOUR CHANGE
TO SECURE A
BARGAIN!
10,000 ACRES OF
PINE LAND
In One Body,
FOU SALE.
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 filteeu
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 oi these lauds is the existence
of numerous Lakes at short distances—said Lakes
being valuable in raf ting 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 the
year in from twelve to twenty-four hours. For
timber of
FITCH PINE, OAK, HICKORY,
POPLAR AND CYPRESS.
They have no superior in the South, tieir being
on tide-way, put them above all other Timber
Lauds on the Altanialia in easy access to mar
ket.
The near proximity of chose lands to Darien
makes the cost of drifting nominal, when com
pared with price paid from farther up the [river.
An immense amount of
■WOOD
Can he sold annually to Steamboats plying on the
River, aud in the cities of Savannah, Darien and
Brunswick.
In addition to the Rivet for transportation to
market, the Macon & Brunswick Railroad runs
along tlic hack portion of the Lands for miles, be
ing at no place more than two miles from the
line. For
lUA.puL'iOisra
these lands offer unusual inducements, being es
pecially adapted to the growing of Cotton,-.Corn,
Sugar Cane, Oats, Irish aud Sweet Potatoes, aud
all Fruits and Vegetables that can be grown in
the Southern country. On the land s are several
Farms containing fair houses for the county, and
several hundred acres of clearing in successful
cultivation.
Of the highlands is good, as the appearance of the
inhabitants will indicate.
Twenty miles from Darien and immediately on
the River may be found an immense quantity
of
Brick Clay.
This Clay was thoroughly examined Iby a gen
tlemau having both a Practical and Scientific
knowledge of the necessary requirements of clay
fur Brick. The fact of its being at the very
Waters Edge
The manufacture of Brick could be
carried on with small capital
In the event of the completion of the
Great Western
c a isr aA e ,
Wliich at present seems very probabie at an early
day, the value of these lands would bo 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 imm: i.oimiK
To bring a fabulous price in the markets of the
| world.
In the present depressed condition ofbnsiness,
! capitalists can do no better than invest their sur
plus funds iu tliis si>ccies of property.
I would also sell about One Hundred Head of
STOCK CATTLE,
Timber Carts and Teams,
And also my entire stock of HOGS. Tbc range
for miles is considered as good for cattle and
hogs as any in the
SOUTH.
ALSO
FIVE HEAD OF MULES.
Parties desiring further information regarding
the above will please communicate with me at Da

Don’t Call a Man a Liar.
Never tell a man that he is a liar
unless you are certain you can
lick him, for it is as a general rule,
when you say that word it means
fight.
I have arrived at this conclusion
through sad experience. I know it
is not safe to give the lie to a mus
cular Christian.
I did once. I am sorry for it
now, as I never grieved for any
thing else in the whole course of my
life.
We were standing on the side
walk in front cf the club, when I
made the statement. We were
talking politics, and men who talk
politics and get hot over it, are—to
put it mildly —lunatic, or else want
an office; or else have some friends
who want an office.
This man made an assertion,
touching the fair fame of my candi
date. It is probable that if it had
been as true as it was false, I should
have take n the same course, because
you understand, a man who talks
politics has no sense anyhow. I
think I said this before, but it is
all tlio same. I want to make it
strong, and get you to understand
how I came to get my ornamental
eyes.
I mildly suggested that a man
who would make such a statement
as that, was lost to all sense of
shame, and would be guilty of the
basest crimes in the calender.
Ho disagreed with me on that
point. As for himself he never
made a statement except upon the
most ample proof. My candidate
was the meanest villain living.
I told him he lied.
I have been kicked by a mule,
have fallen out of a second story
window on a hard pavement, eaten
green persimmons, heard Miss
Blow read poetry for two lioiirs and
a half, skated and seen stars by the
million, rode a sharp backed horse
of the mustang parentage, an adept
in the art of “bucking,” suffered
grief of various kinds, and still
clung to life—but all these are
feathers in the ballance as compar
ed with the result of that one littte
word, “liar.”
Immediately after saying it I sat
down, not in the way people usual
ly sit down. I sat down on the
rim of iny ear, about ten feet from
the spot where I had been, standing
when I made use of the expression
quoted above. lam not used to
sitting in that position, and do not
think it agrees with my constitu
tion .
1 have heard of people who “got
up on their ear and walked off.”
I wish I knew how to do it, I would
have propelled myself away from
that spot if I had possessed this
happy faculty. I proceeded to get
myself perpendicular, intending to
use the locomotion which nature
had given me, but when I came
right side up something heavy ran
against my nose. As I felt very
tired I sat down on my other ear.
I like a change; it is entirely too
monotonous doing the same thing
over and over again.
Somebody took my large friend
away, and I was quite pleased when
he was gone. I have concluded to
look twice at a man before I give
him the “lie” again. My eye is in
mourning, my nose is swelled into
the size of a citron with the color of
a bluish rose, and my store clothes
look as if they had been run through
a patent sausage machine.
A Printer's Obituary. —The fol
lowing address was recently deliv
ered at the funeral of a San Fran
cisco type-setter:
“Our brother, Mr. John Harlan
is dead. His last letter is distribu
ted, his case is empty, his stick is
full; the last line is spaced out, and
the clicking of the type is no more
to bo heard by his hand. A para
graph is made, a period is put in,
his last proof is taken, his galley is
cleared. His form is made up, and
lies upon the cold imposing stone,
silent, lifeless. His faults are set
in diamond and pied, so that no
more proofs can be taken. His vir
tues are set in six-line pica, colored,
framed, and hung on the -walls of
memory, never to be forgotten. Be
warned, be ready. Correct your
proof. ”
“You’ve pinned it back,” he
cried, with grief, “much further
than you’d ortcr; your front, stands
out in bold relief—my darter! oh,
my darter!”

Ten Minutes to Live.
On board an English steamer, a
little ragged boy, aged nine years,
was discovered the fourth day out
from Liverpool to New York, and
carried before the first mate, whose
duty it was to deal with all such
cases.
When questioned as to his object
in being stowed away, and who
brought him on board, the boy,
who had a beautiful sunny face,
and eyes that looked like the very
mirror of truth, replied that his
step-father did it because he could
not afford to keep him nor to pay
his passage to Halifax, where ho
had an aunt who was very well
oft', and to whose home he was go
ing.
The mate did not beleive the sto
ry, in spite of the winning face and
truthful accents of the boy. He had
seen too much of stowaways to be
easily deceived by them, he said;
and it was his firm conviction that
the boy had been brought on board
and provided with food by the sail
ors. The fellow was very roughly
handled in consequence.
Hsy by day ho was questioned
and requestioned, but always wfith
the same result. He did not know
a sailor on board, and his father
alone had secreted him and given
him the food which he ate.
At last the mate, wearied by the
boy’s persistance in the same story,
and perhaps a little anxious to in
culpate the sailors, seized him one
day, and dragging him to the fore
deck, told him that unless ho told
the truth in ten minutes from that
time, he would hang him from the
yardarm. He then made him sit
down under it on the deck. All
around him were the passengers
and sailors of the middy watch, and
in front of him stood the inexorable
mate, with his chronometer in his
hand and the officers of the ship by
his side.
It was the finest sight, said our
informant, that I ever beheld, toseo
the pole, proud, sorrowful face of
that noble boy, his head erect, his
beautiful eyes bright; through the
tears that suffused them. "When
eight minutes had fled, the mate
told him that he had but two min
utes to live, and advised him to
speak the truth and save his life;
but he remarked with the utmost
simplicity and sincerity, by asking
the mate if ho might pray.
The mate said nothing, but nod
ded his head and turned pale as a
ghost, and shook with trembling
like a reed shaken by the wind.
And then all eyes turned on him,
the brave and noble little fellow—
this poor boy whom society owned
not, and whose own step-father
could not care for him —there he
knelt with clasped hands and eyes
turned up to heaven, while he re
peated audibly the Lord’s prayer,
and prayed the Lord Jesus to take
him to Heaven.
Our informant adds that there
then occurred a scene as of Pente
cost. Sobs broke from strong, hard
hearts, as the mate sprang forward
to the boy and clasp him, and bless
ed him, and told him how 7 sincerely
he believed his story, and how glad
he was that he had been brave
enough to face death and be willing
to sacrifice his life for the truth of
his word. —Christian at Work.
Flize. —I hate a fli. A fli has
got no manners. He ain’t no gen
tleman. He is an introoder; dont
send in no bard, nor ax an intro
duck-hun, nor don't knock at the
front door, and never think of tak
ing off his hat. Fust thing you
kno he is in bed with you and up
your nose —ho wat they want there
is a mystery; and he invites liis
self to breakfast and sits down in
your thout even brushing his pants.
I hate a Hi. Darn a fli. —Josh Bil

Copy was out. The devil

editor: “the first disturbance ever
created in the world was occasioned
by the devil fooling about a wo
man.”
