that the Chiefs will go over. We also learn

Mrs. Grovj’b School
the schools of this city not long since, we .grand an
did that most estimable lady and efficient
teacher, Mrs. Sallie Grow, an unintentional
injustice by not referring to her flourishing
school, also. Mrs. Grow, we learn, has a
school of over thirty scholars, a number
nearly, if not equal, to any in the place; and
her patrons are satisfied that she is a thor
oughly qualified teacher, afi opinion in which
we concur fully. Her pupils all love and
esteem her, and learn ver3’ fast under her
instruction. Furthermore, we learn, that
Mrs. Grow is th« widow of a gallant Confed
erate soldier who lost his life while defend
ing his country's honor, and that should en
dear her to oar people. Onr oversight, as
before stated, was purely accidental, and
her patrons may feel assured that the editor
of The Democrat is not the man to inten
tionally overlook the claims of any lady so
deserving, more especially the widow of one
of the'Confederate
A Private Word to the Ladies.—It is a
fact, a plain fact, that Mrs. M. J. Reynold's
lias the prettiest and most elegant Millinery
goods, of any cotemporary establishment in
the city. It is further known that Mrs! Rey
nolds lias been successfully catering to the
fashionable work! in this section, since long
before the late war Wes thought of. Such
dialogues as this are, therefore, of frequent
occurrence:
Mrs. A.—Why, my dear Mrs. B., Where
did you get that beautiful h*t and how ele
gantly it is trimmed! Do tell me if there are
any more like it to be had.
Mrs. B. —Why, my dear friend, I got if at
Mrs Reynold's, of course. She has been my
Milliner for a number of years, and has nev
er failed to suit me. I believe, however, her
styks this year are better than common. She
has plenty more for sale, and I recommend
her to yon, knowing that you, too, will be
suited.
No Savannah Mail Yesterday.—Owing
to an accident to the train below Savannah,
no mail from that city arrived here yester
day. One day Just week, owing to negligence
in the Savvaunak post office, the key of the
Bainbridge mail bag was not sent with it,
consequently we had to wait two days for
that mail
Election oe l'hkvE Exsinebu.—Lost Fri
day night the Fire Depf^tmcnEdelegatcs as
sembled to elect a Chief Engineer to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the resignation of
Capt. T. J. Bruton. Numerous good names
had been canvassed, but the hallot resulted
in the election of .Mr. James Watt-, late fore,
man of the Stonewall Engine Company. Mr.
Mr. Matt will make a capital Chief, as he
made the best of Foremen.
The Japanese.—By announcement else
where, it will seen that n troupe of jugglers,
yclept “Japanese,” will perform-in this city
on Saturday night next, the 2Gth instant.
The company may consist of’Peter Punks,
mountebanks, or gentle people ; which, we
have no means of knowing, nor do we care.
But this we do know, the billing of a per
formance in Bainbridge on “Memorial
Night,” a time dedicated to the memory of
oar Confederate Dead, is an insult to every
man whose sympathies are with the South.
The Memorial services take place place at
the Presbyterian Church on the same night,
where no doubt onr whole community will
repair ; for we do not believe that on an oc
casion so fraught with sad memories, any
citizen would turn off to see a parcel of trav
elling jugglers. The respect he would have
for the feelings of those who lost husbands
linns, and other relatives and friends, would
forbid it. If, however, we are mistaken ;
we are woefully mistaken.

* Personal.—IVe were pleased to meet in
our town this week, Dr. Samuel D. Tonge,
formerly of this place, now of Blakely, Ga.
The Dix-tor is a youngman of superior talent
and is rapidly rising in his profession. He
has been in Blakely but n few short months,
hut we arc happy to learn that in that time
ho has become very popular, and is receiving
.a large and lucrative practice.
Death of Dr. M. Hahn..—Me regret that
we are called upon as a chronicler of focts
to state that the gentleman whose name
heads this paragraph breathed his last on
Saturday morning at about 2 o clock. Dr.
Dr. Hahn was a German by birth, and was
one of the oldest of our citizens. He was
a man very much respected in the communi
ty, and his death causes a void which is
painfully felt by the Large* portion of our
people. The Doctor was a Mason, having
connected himself with that noble institu
tion many years ago, and was near fll years
of age when death overtook him.
In his death, the Masons have lost a re
spected brother, his family a *
protestor, and Bainbridge a good Gfczen.
Let us hope that ha has made a safe voyage
across that stranger coast unknown, and
A. C. & B. F. IVylv obtained from their
agents and correspondents in New York,
Chicago, Cincinnati and Louisville, one thous
and dollars for the new St. Philips Church in
Atlanta.—Exchange.
DonT you-see, from the above, what a lit
tle energy, base ! ttpon proper appeals, will
accomplish!' Here stands our College build
ing. which cost, before the war, S20.000. No
where in the South can be found a more
beautifully designed structure. But without
some action on the part of our citzens it will
ere long be in ruins. Our object here is to
call on the ladies—we'know the men will do
nothing—to take the matter in hartd, and to
make proper appeals for aid to'complete the
building, and to put the College in success
ful operation. As the Messrs Wylys secur
ed SI,000, for a church in Atlanta, we have
proof positive that the hearts and purses of
many in the North are open to us; and that
an effort may be made, we take the liberty
of nominating as a committee of ladies for
that purpose, with the understanding that
they are to have absolute control of the dis
bursement of all sums that they may obtain,
and that if they succeed, the College shall be
free front denominational jor sectarianism:
Mrs. R. H. IVhitcley, President; Miss Sallie
Sanborn, Mrs. Julia Robinson, Mrs. J. C.
Rutherford, Vice-Presidents; Miss Mary
Munnetlyn and Miss Estelle Bruton, Secreta
ries and Treasurers.
Recollections of tub War for SorrnERx
Ixoependznce.—The near approach of “Me
morial Day." naturally causes us to recall
mam’ of the scenes and incidents of the late
strangle for Southern rights to our memory.
Occupying as the writer did, an obscure but
honorable position in the ranks of the Con
federate infantry* tis facilities for observa
tion were none of the best; yet in that
great conflict, embracing a bloody period of
four years, he witnessed many scenes that
might interest the readers of The Democrat;
especially its young readers.
Stonewall Jackson There is magic in the
sound of that name. The great man who
bore it has long sine* “crossed over the
river” and is now “resting under the shade
of the trees,” in the land of the blest; and

destroy the invaJe%J^(at picture will nev
er be erased from otwinud, It, surpassed
Napoleon at Lodi, atljif at Waterloo—not
in physical courage or desperate resolve, but
in sublime appearance.-:’
But let fts descend the scale, and bring to
mifiil the heroic deeds of softie of those in
the rank and file. Otttmemory reverts to a
noble man, a soldier upon whom Napoleon
would have bestowed the cross of the Legion
of Honor. No duty was too arduous ordan
gerous for him to evade. _ No matter how
toilsome the march, or how famished the
troops, his cheerful voice could always be
heard encouraging his comrades,- Country
With him. was everything; fatigue, danger,
death in her* behalf, nothing. He had won
distictnion in twenty battles, and had his
brothers killed at his side, but brushing the
tear from his eye and suppressing the pang
in iiis heart, lie went to his duty with re
doubled energy. If the army had been like
him it would have been unconquerable. He
was a devoted soldier, and sealed that devor
j-ion to his country with his hear’ts best blood
in a furious charge at the battle of Cold
Harbor, on the 3rd of June, 1804, When
the victory was won the remains of Sidney
Bari'itleau were laid inasoldier’srude grave;
but he left behind him a record that should
shed a never fading lustre around hiirname,
and forever enshrine his memory in the
hearts of the people of Decatur county, whom
lie' illustrated. V
War is a horrid thing, but' it is preferable
to tyranny art-l oppression. The South con
ceived herself trampled upon, and a million
of her sons bared their breasts to receive the
wounds aimed at- her rights. It was this
commendable feelingthat caused Ben Avriett.
one of the mest. exemplary youths in this
city, to spring isito the ranks at the sound of
the tocsin. Many of our citizens knew that
noble boy. lie possess? > all the virtues, and
Christianity was not one of the least. He
sewed in -(’apt.- Lewis' Company, and no
braver and more gallant soldier cverdonned
the •Vifi'eder.Ue Grey. At ilie Battle
.Sharpffiurg the fatal bullet accomplished its
death-mission, and Avriett's spirit went to
join those “oil fame’s eternal camping
ground.”
The pen of the learned maiorian cannot
pause to chronicle the deeds of the obscure
private in the ranks; it u ould perhaps make
too much.history, but it would be a glorious
one. However, let u.i mention another br.qvc
boy who aspired no higher than ttf deserve
well of his country. A irteVe youth, gentle,
delicate aud seemingly effeminate, he was
among the fiftst to enlist under the “Stars
and Bars.” He joined a Savanmlh company,
and we never heard of him during the war;
but after the surrender of Lee, while We
were in a Yankeb prison, at Johnson’s Island,
Ohio, a gentleman, who was in thesamecom.
pany with him gave ns a glowing account of
his daring courage. He had passed almost
through the war and had gained a splendid
reputation through his gallantry'; But at
Sailor’s Creek where about the last battle of
the war was fought, while performing his
duty, with unexampled heroism, a minnie
ball cut the “brittle thread” of his life, and
Alfred Bowne was no more. Rest in your
warrior grave, noble hoy—the time may come
when your ashes, and tlie dust of those who
ware slain with you, will’ not ery aloud
for vengeance in vain.
Next Saturday, 2Gih inst., is “Decoration
Dav,” on which Occasion the delicate hand
of woman will* cull Bowers and weave gar
lands to place upon our dead soldiers’
-■raves. All honor to the day, all honor to
the custom. Appropriate eulogies will be
pronounced, and the past will be lived over
again. We believe thereis only one soldier’s
grave in our city—that of Millie Gremmcr,
who was all that a Southern soldier could be.
. Don't let it be neglected. Let it he cov
ered with flowers until they refuse to st^
on, and while this is being done let us not
only think of him, butof Evans, Parks, M sl
ier, Avriett, Bowne, Barrineau, Sanborn,
and the many others of out noble dead, for—
Some sleep in the valleys for away,
, Some in the dark lagoon ;
Sftracwhere the rippling waters play
Beneath the silent moon—
- Some on the craggy mountains crest
By a’;l the world forgot,
Unknown heroes, not the slaves !
By place or office bought.
They gave their all tor our dear land,
Fought nobly, suffered, Med—
Tlie world has never known a band
• Like tne brave Confederate Dead.
