An Ethiopian Debating Club.—
We learn that a party of fun-loving
young gentlemen in the city have
formed themselves into a “Kullud

The District Meeting.—This
meeting begins its session at the
Methodist Church, on Wednesday
anight the 3rd of- April. Many emi
aneet ministers are expected to be

ablest and most eloquent divine in
the South. •

pie arrangement*; made to accommo
date the preachers and delegates.
A Negro Drowned:—We learn
that a negro was -drowned in Dry
Creek several rrbles. from the city,
■one day fmSt week. Dry Creek is a
ravine begiwoagan Mitchell county,
and running into Flint river some
two mitef. above Bain bred ge. In dry
weather tliere is never a. -drop of
water j® it, but very wet spells
transform it into a mighty torrent.
It was daring the recent freshet the
negro was said ta fiuve been drown,

Episcopal Festival.—We learn
that when the Lenten .season is over,
the Episcopalians aaleod giving a

their church. We hope they may be
eminently successful.
Lupden A Bates.—We called on
this extensive music firm during our
recent visit to Savannah. Every
thing in the shape of a musical in
strument, or a piece of sheet music,
or a musical publication of any kind,
is in their store. They will accept
our thanks for tavors.

We are generally somewhat ‘seittish’
of the gals, but as she is too small
to hurt a fellow much, we shall have
to go. Long life to you, Miss Irma
Orion,
A Fi&£ Turnout.—Oh ! that is a
love of turnout—that of Mr. A. T.
Reid. His buggy is decidedly the
fcandsomest ia the city, and togeth
er with that fine old bay “two forty,"
there is no beating them anywhere.
If there ia Anything on earth we do
love it is pretty women, fine horses
aad buggfeb, and prompt paying
patrons.
Wo also love to see a man like
.lodge Reid have fine things, for he
certainly enjoys them—and. why
shouldn't he ? Does he not patron
ize the press and pay the printer ?
Lo®g may he live, and be as rich as
Crossus, and drive a six-in-hand.

W learn that there is a gentle
man in the city, from New York,
who is negotiating for sortie valuable
property in this immediate vicinity.
The gentleman is a large capitalist,
and if he makes the purchase of the
property, he will go into the manu

grand scale.

The Bfe in bridge Ma’-e and Fe
male Institute.—This is Ru institu
tion iu which every c.tizcn of Bain-
bridge ghould take pride. It stands
in the front rank, not sorauch on t'**-
count of its ywfiatLaftge as its merit.
In fact it Hleservet a great deal
more patronage than it gets. Mr.
Allen should be encouraged, for his
calling is fbe noblest. For many
years Ji*s Hie toiled, as only a teach
er can, <for the good of the youth of.
our section—yet we- do not believe;
he lias met with that liberal patron
age, which Should characterize an.
enlightened community. '
You never see a flourishing town
without a flourishing school. Where
there is a first -class institution of
learning people will not hesitate to
concentre.
Bainbridge, however, has had a
creditable institution ever since Mr.
Allen located among us, but all on
account of his own Indomitable will
and energy. Ilis Institute preserves
its high reputatioa still, but is there
not a limit to human endurance ?
N■> matter how excellent a school
may be, it cannot be sustained forev
er unless it has many prompt paying
patrons. Suppose Mr, Allen should
abandon his calling, who would take
his place? Has not the experience
of the last quarter of a century
shown the people that before Mr.
Allen came to Bainbridge we had
no permanent teacher, and that our
educational facilities were as change
able as the seasons ?
We throw out these hints upon
our own responsibility, hoping that
onr citizens will profit by them.
M. Boley A Co.—We refer spe
cial attention to the card of this
Savannah firm in another column.
They are wholesale and retail Fur
niture Dealers, and they sell their
goods cheaper than anv other simi
lar firm in the city. We know whatof
we speak. We heartily commend M.
Boley A Co., to the readers of The
Democrat and the public generally.
Send them your orders.

Look at Both Sipes of the
Question.—It is fast becoming
chronic now-a-day9 for people *to
talk about each other, and to talk
disparagingly of each other at that.
We are sorry that such is the case.
It is "fashionable” when friends
or acquaintances meet, after the us
ual congratulations, to take up some
person and expatiate on bis or her
faults. The subject is literally
smeared over with his misdoings,
and if a stranger is receiving the
benefit of these startling revelations,
he is Certainly impressed With the
idea that he has been hearing of
some fiend in human form.
This habit of “talking about peo
ple” is a bad one, and in inany -cas
es is productive of calantilohs results;
for more frequently do the innocent
suffer than the guilty. For instance,
an idle meaningless word spoken
about a female, will be fanned by
gossippers into suspicion, and then
there is nb telling when or where it
will stop. Alas! how many inno
cent women have beeh forced to
drink deep of the cup of humiliation
by these merciless gossipers.
Of course nothing human is per
fect—everybody has faults. But is
it charitable or ehristianlike to mag
nify them ? Yet some professing
Christians take delight in “opening
the eyes” of their guests to the faults
of their fellows. Strange they never
atte.’ipt to discover their virtues''!
Do the,'o gossippers ever recall the
words of /Tim, who said to the Phari
sees upon a certain occasion, "let
him who is without sin among you
first cast a stone’ /
There are two side*.' to every ques
tion, and if the good si.'e is infini-
tesknai, let it come out “though the
heavens fall.” Periiaps, many times,
he who <Jowdcmn§ is more wicked
than the condemned, though appear
ances be in his favor. We think
however, and we believe it to be
true, tiie habit of magnifying the
bad qualities of a person, is indica
tive of a low and vie based mind, no
matter how prepossessing external
appearances may be.
In that great day when the eter
nal register of heaven, in-which all
the actions of mankind are recorded,
is opened, we opine that many of
the Saints of perfection in their
own estimation here, will be calling
for the rocks to tall on them there.
W r e think it a very good rule to
speak well of a person or not at all.
New Spring Goods.—Mr. Simon
A. Wiel, one of the most popular
merchants in town, has just return
ed with a very large stock of Spring
Goods. He respectfully invites the
ladies to call and examine his assort
ment of Dress Goods which for ele
gance cannot be surpassed. Mr.
Wiel has a general line of dry-goods
and groceries, all of which he sells
cheap. He flatters himself that he
has something in his store to suit
every person in Decatur county.
Give him a call.
Fishing Tackle.—James Watt
has now on hand every kind of fish
ing tackle imaginable- Let anglers
take heed, and call before R is all
gone.
Our* New Sign.—At last our new
sign is up—now the Democrat office
can be distinguished from the com
mon herd of buildings. The sign is
a master piece of workmanship, and
is so pronounced by all who have
seen it. The Board is sixteen feet
long by 2 1-2 feet wide, and has
thereon the one word "Democrat,”
in letters that can be read for a
mile.
Mr. Jas. F. Tan Horn painted
the sign, and to whom we refer all
who want good work doue.
Death of M. A. Rutherford.—
The Steamer Barnett, which arrived
here from Apalachicola on Monday
night last, brought the sad intelli
gence of tho death of Mr. M. A.
Rutherford, which occurred in that
city on Saturday last at about 2
o’clock P. M.
Mr. Rutherford was well and fa- [
uot only as art honest, liberal minded
business'man, but as a good, true
and exemplary citizen. He was en
gaged in the mercantile business for
several years hr our city, but last
summer his health suddenly failed
him and he was obliged to retire.
His illness was long and severe:
perhaps ae poor mortal man ever
suffered a# did he, but with that
calm resignation and inimttabic
courage that always characterized
him, he bo.e it with Spartan resolu
tion afid firmness. Prior to his sick
ness he was in robust health, and
little did we dream that he would
so soon be reduced to helplessness.
Long before he died he saw that
hope of life was forbidden him, and
at once began to look to the bright
region beyond the murky waters of
the River of Death, for that rest
and happiness forever debarred him
or, earth. Let us hope that he is
now with the blessed.
Mr. Rutherford was one of those
men whose loss is felt by all classes.
Possessed of a jovial disposition, he
was the centre of the circle of the
blithesome and gay; noble natnred
and generous hearted,'together with
a most scrupulous and conscientious
regard for truth and right, he made
friends of all regardless of party,
clique, or sect; never did the poor
and needy appeal to him in vain,
for it was his*greatest pleasure to
relieve their necessities; and this
was his greatest virtue, this Chari
ty, ."the greatest of the three,” al
though he possessed them all. His
charity was not theoretical but prac
tical—that which ministered to suf
fering, and relieved want, Which
put shoes on the frost-bitten feet of
the helpless orphan, and bread upon
the table of the sore-hearted, pover
ty-stricken widow. . As a friend- be
was steadfast and sincere—"a friend
in need.” He would make any sac
rifice for one he loved, and showed
by his unswerving fidelity this para
mount Virtue of the human heart.
But he. is dead! and while no mar
ble shaft of stately proportions and
liigh-souhding epitaph will mark bis
last resting place, in the humble
hearts of those to whom he was so
generous and kind, will his memory
live forever. No doubt he had faults,
but we forget them in the contem
plation of his virtues; and it is our
firm belief that to-day there rests
not under the sod of our Mother
Earth, the ashes of a better man
than M. A. Rutherford.

for all aro:ind her—what a pity it is
that she will grow to womanhood,

To see a wasp-waisted young lady,

We like to hear people talk about

We like to see a man carry the

We like to hear a man who swigs

We like to see an honest, hard

We like to see our farmers plant,

We like to see all of our young

We like to hear people find fault
