It so slidk that we "slicked up lookin’ at it.” * gv the way, the Doctor has one of the most promising strawberry gardens wc have ever seen in Bain- bridge.^ Personal.—Mr. (J. W. Rushing, traveling agent for the Savannah Ad vertiser, was it. town yesterday. The Advertiser is a good paper and is worthy of a large patronage. Hon. R. J.

An Ethiopian Debating Club.— We learn that a party of fun-loving young gentlemen in the city have formed themselves into a “Kullud 'Batin ’Ciety” for the purpose of en livening our people. Each member of the club will black himself, and appearm the debate a la oor color ed Representatives in the Legisla ture, No doubt it will be a rich thing, A Gymnasium,—One of the best enterprises that onr young men ol inactive occupations could tester would be the establishment of a gymnasium in our city, The cost would be trifling and ibe benefit aris ing from the exercise incalculable.

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 present, among them Bishop G. F. Pierce, who is without -doubt the ablest and most eloquent divine in the South. • We bape our people will have am-‘i 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, ■ed.

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. v . Mies Irma Orion Lewis, a “wee- ibitable” young lady .of half-a-dozen ^lays-wili please - accept- our thanks for an invitation td r ?hll and'SPMier. 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. — - «V : ’ Personal —T. B. Hupnewell, of T. B^-Hunnewell A Co; F. L. Bab bit; of Babbit & Warfield; W. C. Rockwell, of Rockwell & West; and J. Steininger, ofSteininger A En- ?el, are in New York purchasing their spring stocks of goods. 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 facturing and lumber business on a grand scale. It is currently expected that Bachelor’s Nest” will be complete ly broken up during the year by mat rimonial influences.. The following “eggs” are in the “Nest” at pres ent: Dr. H. S. Jones, *Dr. J.

We wish the happy pair a lbng life of joy and prosperity. Also, on the same evening at 8 o’clock, in Fowlstown, by the Rev. Dr.- Babbit, Mr. W. W. Ledwith to Miss Sallie Munnerlyn. Bill is an old typo and a clever fellow, but now, like the sensible boy that he is, he is turning his attention to agri culture. We wish him and his fair bet ter-half a long life of happiness. ~TO* " * : Several young gents in the city are playing the bluff game pretty hcavi{y< We hope none of them will get euchred, yet we fear so, Checks! will welcome them with open- Dean be at people arms. 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. We print the following effbsion without endorsing a word of it, la dies: Youngster, spare that girl! Kiss not those lips so meek ! »? Unruffled let the fair lock carl Upon the maiden's dmk! Believe her quite a saint; Her beauty has no end. Her rosy hue is paint, Her form is—Grecian Bend!

We have seen it oper ate, and can positively say that we We refer attention to the Medical of Drs. Morgan A Harrell in 1 never saw anything half so good be- another column. |f>re 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. Slashes Here and There.—Dr. Bainbridge and Decatur coottty. Watae* ia going to get some bone less beef lor the yotfth who could buy a ham- for what he-pays for beef ina$eek.

We’d like to buy a certain chapin town at what he is worth, and sell him for what he thinks he’s worth. We’d make w big spec. Some ladies paint outrageously.— Ladies, don’t lay it oh so thick; it’s ‘‘shoddy.” However prudent and virtuous widows may be, we have seen many a wjdow-e:r.

The young lady who caught a cold by drinking water lrom a damp tumbler is convalescent. We thought she wouffii never recover. Marriages are getting common in the city. Strange how people can’t get enough of a good thing. Rothe is of the opinion that he can whip any man, or auy Certain set of men, who put out the report that he (Rothe) was meditating upon land ing himselfinto the hymenial noose. Why is like a cedar tree ?— Because he stays green both sum mer and winter. Happiness is something like a pig with a greased tail, which every one runs after, but which few hold. A lady in the city told her affec tionate husband that she had the asthma so bad she could hardly breathe. “I wouldn’t try, then, dear,” said the brute. We saw a gent sitting on a corner the other moon-light night, trying to convince his own shadow that it was improper to follow a gentleman. Economical.—A man who chews fourteen dollars’ worth of tobacco, and drinks fourteen gallons of whisky a year, and then stops his paper be 1 cause he is poor. E. Doolittle is in the habit of stealing pigs; robbing hens’ roosts, and the like, about the town. If he does not desist, we shall publish his name. Our Local says that he flattered his sweetheart so much that she got too proud to speak to him. It is very wrong ,to doubt that Balaam’s ass spoke like a man, when we daily hear so many men speak like asses. Ghecks! Biash don’t think that Columbus deserved much credit for discovering America, as the country is so large he could not well have missed it. The way to stop a waggin—cut a dog’s tail off. The most perfect., beautiful and attractive of .God’s handiwork is a little girl. Innocent as a lamb, sweet as the breath of a summer’s morning, and pure as the white- robed immortals, her little heart at all times full of tenderness ar.d love for all aro:ind her—what a pity it is that she will grow to womanhood, weai G. B’s, and, perhaps, become a flirt and a “man killer.” What a pity! - - To see a wasp-waisted young lady, in ringlets and an abundance of flounces, gracefully sail to the head of the table, and, with a voice as angelic as a tenor flute, call to the waiter for a mess of cold possum and kollards, is the most trying thing romance can encounter. We like to hear people talk about the bad qualities of a person, and loftily ignore his good ones. It is so generous. We like to see a man carry the chicanery of the devil beneath the manners of a saint. It is so open. We like to hear a man who swigs his quart of whisky daily, expatiate upon the Virtue of self-control. We like to see an honest, hard working mechanic “snubbed” for a co<M3h aristocratic talking tailor’s sign. It shows noble blood. We like to see our farmers plant, all cotton, for it is so pleasant to our Yankee friends. We like to see all of our young men trying to make lawyers of them selves. It is a good way to encour age the mechanical arts. We like to hear people find fault with the preacher, although they never pay him. It is very patron izing. We are in favor of sewing societies where ladies' meet to gossip about each other and everybody else. When a man is down he should be held, lest gaining experience, he might rise.above his fellows. The following is a popular trans lation of the Golden Rule with some people we wot of : Help me to give another woe, Display each fault I see ; That meanness I to others show, Don’t show the same to me. Bainbridge gents have discarded “Seltzer aperient” and are now us ing Lager Beer.
