HERE IS YOUR GRANGE
TO SECURE A
BARGAIN!
10,000 ACRES OF
PINE LAND
In One Body,
3POH. SALE.
Attention, Everybody ! !
IOFItT R F6R SALE A VALUABLE BODY OF
Laud containing
10,000 Ac res
Situated immediately on the Altamnha River, fif
teen miles from Darien, and extending for iifteen
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 ot Bruntwick. A
particular feature of these lauds is the existence
of numerous Lakes at short distances—said Lakes
being valuable in raftiug any kind of timber. Be
ing at a low stage of the water on tide-way, tim
ber can be brought to Darien af all timcß of the
year In from twelve to twenty-four bouts. For
timber of
PITCH PINE, OAK, HICKORY,
POPLAR AND CYPRESS.
They have no superior in tlio South, tieir being
on tide-way, put them aboyg all other Timber
Lauds on the Altamalia in easy access to mar
ket.
The near proximity of these lauds to Dnriou
makes the cost of drifting nominal, when com
pared with price paid from farther up the [river.
Au immense amount of
■WOOD
Can be Gold annually tn Steamboats "plying on the
River, anil in the cities of Savannah, Darien and
Brunswick.
In addition to the River for transportation to
market, tbe Macon & Brunswick Railroad runs
along tlio back portion of the Lauds for miles, be
ing at no place nlore than two miles Irofu the
line. For
istck
these landrf offer unusual inducements, being es
pecially adapted to the growing of Cotton, Corn,
.Sugar Cane, Oats, Irish and Sweet Potatoes, and
all Fruits and Vegetables that can be grown in
the Southern country. On the lands are several
Farms containing fair houses for the county, and
several hundred acres of clearing in successful
cultivation.
THE
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 'by a gen
tleman having both a Practical and Scientific
knowledge of the necessary requirements of clay
for Brick. The fact of its being at the very
"WatcrN Tiklgge
The manufacture of Brick could_be 'successfully
carried on with small capital
Iu the event of the completion of the
Great Western
CANAL,
Which at present seems very probabie at an early
day, the value of these lands would be greatly
enhanced, and prove a splendid investment to the
purchaser.
THE INCREASING
Demand for Pitch tine will in a few years thin
out the vast forests of Pine in the South, and
cause
MTClff LniliFJt
To bring a fabulous price in the markets of the
world.
In the present depressed condition of business,
capitalists can no better than invest their sur
plus funds iu 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 HOGS. The 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

SINGLE-HANDED FIGHT
WITH A BULL.
A IllrlilKaii Farmer Flays tlie Part of a
Matailor.
Mr. Elijah Pond, of the Township
of Adams, has upon his farm a large
powerful, and valuable bull, whose
general reputation for propriety was
bad, but had always acknowledged
the mastery of Mr. Pond. He had
been a terror to the help upon the
farm, and had often hurried out of
his neighborhood those who had
occasion to pass through the fields
where ho was grazing. Mr. Pond
had frequently urged his laborers to
not run from the animal, but to
show no fear and lie would not dare
attack them, but they always took
the part of discretion and got out of
his way.
One evening last week Mr. Pond
finished milking his cows in the
barn yard, and was returning to the
house with a pail full of milk, when
he had to pass by this bu 1 He n>-
ticed that lie shook his head sud
denly and looked vicious. But he
passed along thinking nothing of it.
He had not proceeded far before he
heard the rapid step and low moan
ing bellowing of the animal close by
him. He turned to catch the bull’s
horns with his hands so as to pre
vent his being gored, and was toss
ed into the air. He came down
pail, milk, and all upon the animal’s
head, and was again thrown into
the air, and as he fell he struck on
the opposite side of the fence. He
was somewhat bruised 'and his
clothes torn by tlic rough handling
and the fall, but being a stout mus
cular man, bis impulse was to chas
tise the insolent beast. Accordingly
he secured a heavy club, which had
been a sled stake, and jumped over
the fence into the yard. He was
met by the bull, which with horns
poised, with head fixed, stiffened
neck, plunged at his unequal adver
sary as he approached. Mr. Pond
struck him a terrific blow across his
head, splintering and breaking the
cudgel, but making no other im
pression upon his bullship except to
infurate him.
The combat was getting fearful.
The bull dashed upon Mr. Bond,
who, without any means of defense,
was in iminent, deadly peril. He
sprang aside, caught the animal by
one horn and one ear, and endeav
ored to keep away from him, but
was shaken about like a bundle of
hay. He lossed his hold, and a sec
ond time was tossed high into the
air and fell beyond the fence into
the adjoining field. The maddened
animal rushed at the fence, roared
ind bellowed, but Mr. Bond, undis
mayed, determined to master the
field. He started to the house for
iiis ax and would have split op< n
he bull’s head rather than be con
quered. But on his way he came
iponaheavy three-tiiied pitch-fork.
■Seizing this he started agian across
the yard. More savage and more
desperate than before, the beast met
him, but Mr. Pond stood his ground
and as the bull approached lie did
not turn aside, but struck him full
in the face with the sharp tines of
the fork, expecting to turn him
back by the acute pain. Bat he
was again mistaken. The animal
rushed at him and was about bear
ing him against the fence where he
would have crushed him like a dry
weed. Mr. Pond saw liis peril and
threw himself forward upon the
neck and horns of the bull, and,
clinging to his neck, thew up his
"eet so as to avoid striking the
fence.
In this prediciment he was tossed
and flung about, and the fork was
thrown from his grasp, and finally
he too waS unseated and fell over
beside the animal. Fortunately, in
his fall, his hand came upon the
fork, which he caught, and, with a
full sense of the importance of using
his power, he thrust the strong fork
again and again into the side, flank,
and neck of the bull with all the
force of his powerful arms. The
combat waxed hot. The heavy
thrust were quick and effective, and
as the tempered tines twanged from
the tough hide of the bull, the blood
spurted from the deep incisions.
Nerved by the desperation and pain
Mr. Bond kept up his terrible war
fare. The animal failed in every
attempt to get him on his horns.
Into his broad sides rained lighten
ing shots of pointed steel, thicker,
faster, deeper, until the contest j
grew unequal, the strong beast bel- [
lowed with pain. He held his head
down for a moment, roared with
utter discomfiture and whirling up
on his feet, ran bellowing down the
yard.
Mr. Bond made his way to the
house. He was met at the door by
his wife, he was wet with perspira- ;

tion, bespattered with blood, lame,
and almost naked, hut so nerved by
his spirit that after washing and
resting a little time he went again
to the yaid. He had determined
that there should be one master on
the premises, and notwithstanding
the entreaties of his wife, he did not
hesitate to go .on the battle-ground
unaided. He found his victory
complete. The conquered cowed,
humbled animal ran from him like
a whipped spaniel. The victory
complete, the victor found himself
more fearfully injured than he sup
posed, and it was several days be
fore he again left his room. We
saw him when lie was able to ride
to town, and he was yet in a decid
edly dilapidated condition, but in a
fair way to recover. —Hillsdale Bus

A Dream That ParteA Man
and Wife.
Bundy has been married two
weeks and has left his wife. Bun
dy is a little man, and his wife
weighs two hundred and forty
pounds, and was the relict of tlie
late Peter Potts. About ten days
fter marriage Bundy was surprised,
on awaking in the morning, to find
his better half sitting up in bi and
crying as if her heart would break.
Astonished, lie asked the cause of
her sorrow, but receiving no reply
he began to surmise that there must
be some secret on her mind that she
withheld from him, that was tlie
cause of her anguish, he remarked
to Mrs. Bundy that as they were
married she should tell him tlie
cause of her grief, so, if possible, lie
could avert it, and, after considera
ble coaxing, he elicited the follow
ing from her:
“Last night I dreamed I was sin
gle, and as I walked through a well
lighted street I came to a store
where a sign in front advertised
husbands for sale. Thinking it cu
rious, I entered, and ranging along
the wall on either side were men
with prices affixed to them. Such
beautiful men; some for SI,OOO,
some i’i r SSOO, and so on to sl'so.
And as I had not .that amount I
could not purchase.”
Thinking to console her, B. placed
his arm lovingly around her and
asked:
“And did you see any men there
like me ?”
“Oh, yes,” she replied, drawing
away from him, “lots of them; they
were tied up in bunches, like
asparagus, and sold at ten cents per
bunch.”
Bundy got up and went to see his
lawyer if ho had sufficient ground
for a divorce.
A sick dutekman called at a
drug store and thus addressed one
of the clerks: “Tocter, I feels sig all
ofer, un de heebies dells me I bet
ter take one fissick.” “All 'fight,
sir,” says the clerk; “will you have
a dose of salts or some purgative
pills? “Yell, vot it cost for dem
saulds?”Teu cents, sir.” “Und how
mooch is it for dem fissicking pills?”
“I’ll give you a close at the same
price.” After a vain search in his
pocket for the required sum, he
asked: “Toctor, you tond got no
second hand fiissicking pills, ain’t
it ”
ss£r A Christain Weekly lays it
down as as a rule, in a long article
that nothing funny should be put
in a newspaper. It doesn’t seem to
follow the rule, however. The long
article created a broad grin all over
the country, and aroused a wide
spread inquiry as to whether its
writer was a fool on purpose or
merely by accident. —liochester
