fishing expedition. The ravenous inusquito
gave thorn a warm welcome.
A debating club has developed itself
among the logical young men of Pine Hill

rank of the best country papers of the State.
Pretty Girls.—Our town can boast of more
pretty girls between the ages of 12 and 16
years than any corporation of its size on the
globe. If Mayor Huff will offer a sufficient
premium we’ll enter a dozen at the next
State fair, and risk our upper plantation on
tbe result, that they'll eclipse anything in the
Union.
Is Our Base Ball Club Going to Albany?
—The Albany New'iajiys: “It is rumored
’that the Baintmifge Base Ball Club will play
against the Albany boys'in this city at an
early day. 41
We have heard nothing of such a contem
plated match, but presume our boys would
like to have the chance of demolishing the
Albany club. .
Heath of Mrs. Scott.—This lady, consort
of John R. Scott, died in Bainbridjfe last
Thursday. She was a good woman, a fond
mother and devotod. wife. She leaves a hus
band and two small children to mourn her
loss. May the great Father above temper
their sorrows.
ta fiwclssb book ,
Stoke for Baikbrimk.—This town has long
felt the need of a book store, but owing to
hard times, the scanty of'money, Ac., Ac.,
no man has been bold enough to risk capital
in that business for some years past. Gens
N. L. Cloud, however, we learn, is going to
open within the next thirty days, a book
store, unequalled by any outside of thelarge
cities. We trust the General maybe sue
ful, andthst tbe people will patronixe an in-
fljtitutioa so eatnentiy worthy.
“ c ome men are born great, some achieve
greatness, others have- greatness thrust upon
them,” but Simon A. Wiel has the -cheapest
ponds in town.
RirrruvEK.—Mr John E. Domilson, late
«f Colorado has returned to Bainhridgr. lie
is well pleased with the Western, country,
■inn] will return ere long.
Only a Printer.—Because the Earl of
Stayhope was “only a printer,” and Presi
dent Buchanan, was “only a printer,” and
Ben. Franklin was “only a printer,” and
Paddy O’Farrell was “only a printer,’’ and
Pink waters was "only a printer,” there is no
reason why every jackleg “only a printer,”
is an Earl, a President, a Franklin, a Paddy
O’Farrell, or a Pink waters.
Merited Success.—Mr. II. J. Swearengen,
proprietor of the City Drug Store, is win
ning golden opinions from each and all of
his large number of patrons. He lias not
been in the business a year yet, hut he has
evidently found out how to please the pub
lic, and make money besides.
Poetry.—

merchants, a* weD as our own, that business
will be exceeding lively in this section next

tiful crops, they can discharge their obliga
tions, and money matters 'must necessarily
be easier. This Summer is the hardest and
dullest on record,' but the very fact of its be
ing so, has beenja great benefit to the country
Passing Away.—Most of tbe old men in
our city have died within the last few years.
We became paintully aware of the fact while
attending the Methodist Church, last Sunday
night. Not long ago various pews were oc
cupied by aged men, who' had served their
day a'nd generation well—now their seats are
vacant, and those who once occupied them
have passed away forever. Perhaps one or
two still linger on these mortal shores, but
ere long they too will have gone, and the
landmarks that remind us of the past will be
no more.
Laconics.—The screechelodeon is the
cipal musical instrument on Water street.

one of the finest colts ill the State, which
when grown will take the shine off anything
in Georgia. Air. R. is training her thor
oughly.
A Familiar Face.- Capt. Abe Fry was in

doors should be locked, as well.

A Tan Yard.—A good tannery would be
one of the best paying institutions that conld
lie possibly established in this part of the
country. Very little capital required, and
the profits would be enormous.
Wanted at The Democi.at Office.—We
want 100 spring chickens. We want them
to e*t and are willing to pay a good price for
them. The above must not convey the idea
of a protracted meeting.
One oft he fairest representatives of tha
beautiful town of Quincy has been spending

from his tripTtartli, and is much' improved
in health.
Mr. John Watt, late of Thomasville. has
removed to our city, where he will enter the
cun and hardware Ameiness with his brother.
Tine Ovions.—Mr. 81ee Mann, of this
county, has shears es specimens of onions
grown in his garden tbwt cannot be beat in
the United States. The eaioa is of the silver
kind and as large as a pint cup.
Rev. W. E. Hamilton.—Tbe friends of
this good man and efficient minister of the
Presbyterian Church, who was so long sta
tioned is our city, will be glad to know that
lie it in charge of a flourishing church in
I'ueLio, Colorado.
Those two enterprising, widely circulated,
neatly printed and ably edited newspapers,
the Bainbridge Sun and Valdosta Times, are
industriously flinging guano and other su
perphosphates at each other. Well bet on
the 8un.
M. Bi.i.ey A <’o.—This is one of the
staunchest firms in the city of Savannah.
They do an extensive business in Furniture,
which they sell at lower rates than any ot! -
er firm iu the same business in Savannah.
We advise our readers candidly and honest
ly to go ami see and find out Boley & Co’s
prices and examine their furniture before go
ing elsewhere.
Can Leave but Can’t Stax.—Bainbridge
is a good old place after aU. People get
tired of her, and swear’ “she’s going down,”
and “go west” in sheer disgust. But they
haven’t been sft-ny long before a “hankering”
to get back possesses their souls ; and back
they come—quickly if thy’ve got money
enough left, and as best they can, if “busted.
We can’t appreciate this dear old place of
Bainbridge until we gef away, and then we
love her for “there’s no place like home.
We knew a man to pull up stakes and go to
Arkansas and stay two years. We all thought
he’d gone for good, but bright and early one
fine morning he re-appeared, and has been
hero ever since. We might cite numerous
cases similar to this. ’
Frequently young men have li ft for the
west with a pocket lull of tin ; and as long
as it lasted, wrote fine letters home, but
when it give out, they come back, foot in
hand. Bainbridge is a funny old town, but
there are few better.
Reform.—It is curremly reported that if
certain young men don’t stop visiting cer
tain houses, that certain young ladies, will
give them “the mitten.” It is also futjtbefy
stated (hat a certain married man was^edi SPj?® 11
out of a certain house by his “better-half,’^ «*? chiWr _ e _ n _ c ™
who had a firm grip on his ear, a few nights
ago. We would advise all parties to keep a
sharp lookout, as startling revelations will
appear iu the Democrat shortly.
To Ora Farming Friends.—We cordially
invite our friends from the country to visit
our office when they come to the city. Our
table is always supplied with the latest news
papers from all portions of the laud; and
while our friends are getting posted in the
news of the day. we can get posted also in
regard to crops, &c.. Ac. Come and see us
farmers ; we can make your visit mutually
beneficial.
Lazy Negroes.—There are many idle,
good-for-nothing negroes in and around Bain
bridge who must cither steal or starve. A
notorious nest of these lazy vagabonds, is a
place just outsids the corporation called
“Hungry Level.” We think the late bur
glaries can be easily accounted for, and if
proper search was instituted the thieves
could be found.
Hi nnewell—Reid—Wiel.—The three go-
a-bead. reliable, enterprising, never-say-fail,
money making, business men whose names
head this paragraph, are all of our large
community of Dry Goods and Grocery mer
chants, who patronixe their local paper.
These men always use printer’s ink becanse
they Know its efficiency. We trust the pub
lic will continue to bestow its patronage on
the above mentioned merchants.

The Party of Mbs. Grow’sSchool.—Lust
Friday evening in response to a kind invita
tion extended us by Mrs. Grow, we attended
a party given the pupils of her flourishing
school at the residence of Mr. W. C. Subers.
About f. o'clock all the children had ar
rived, and the scone presented by the little
girls aud-boys, with all their “Sunday clothes
on’ was decidedly refreshing.
We never sawgirls more tastefully dressed,
or better behaved, although theirages ranged
from about 4 to 15 years; the boys, too,
looked neat and trim.
At sunset supper was announced, and
around the well supplied table, set under
ie trees in the yard, the “risinggeneration”
lembled, where they enjoyed themselves
Aiiter supper a heavy rain fell which lasted
until after ten o’clock, the pupils enjoying
thefnselves the while in games, music, &c.
Mrs. Grow has a fine school, and is one of
the best teachers in the section.
A Splendid Number.—The publishers of
the Southern Musical Journal are now their
own printers, and in the July number, just
at hand, give us a fine specimen of typogra
phy, which we lake pleasure in noticing. In
its editorial, literary, and musical depart
ments, the Journal is fully the equal of any
similar publication in the U. 8., and in its
elegant new dress (with new type, borders,
headings, cuts, throughout,) and faultless
typography, we pronounce it also the hand
somest. Its publishers are indefatigable in
their efforts to give the south a first-class
musical magazine, and have achieved a real
success. It*has subscribers in every South
ern and many Northern states, and its month
ly arrival is welcomed bv thousands of de
lighted readers. As a means of extending
its circulation, the publishers now offer all
new subscribers a premium of sheet music
(of their own selection,) valued at fifty cents.
Subscription price 1.00 per year. Specimen
copies, containing SI.00 worth of music, free
to any address.

Another Burglary—The Store or S. W.
Patterson & Co., Entered and Robbed.—
Sometime during Tuesday night the store of
S. W. Patterson & Co., on South Broad
street, was entered by burglars from the back
door, a hole first-being cut large enough to
admit a man's arm and the erdss-bar removed.
The rogues carried off about 150 pounds of
bacon, (all in the house,) a dozen or more
hams, 150 pounds of flour,, (all in t]ie house,)
a nest of tubs, sever.il cases of liquors, and
many other minor articles', together with a
small sum of money.
It is probable that the burglars had a wag
on, or they could not have gotten off with
their plunder; or that their number was
considerable, \Yq incline to the latter prob
ability.
These robberies are becoming quijc fre
quent in ibis town, and it is time they were
being stopped. Not long ago Spear’s brick
store was entered by digging through the
brick wall, tliqj ansiuenipt was made jo get
into Noel Gainey & Co s by-Misplacing th
bricks of the chimney, then Patterson S Mc
Nair’s, by back door, and considerable goods
stolen, and then I. Cohens, only two weeks
ago, when over $50 worth of goods were
plundered. Strange as it may appear none
of these outrages have been traced to their
perpetrators, although they happened in the
heart of the town.
We hear considerable complaint of the po
lice. It is held that their duty should be to
pass around about the business houses often
enough to prevent tbese burglaries. Wheth
erthe Council prescribes the duty of the po
lice we do not know—if not, such instruc
tions should be given immediately. .
There is one thing certain, the people of
this incorporation have to submit to heavy
taxation, and they should be fully protected
in property as well as person. If there is no
security under the government, why the tax
ations? why the government?
Beyond tbe Mississippi!
Thousands have already gone, and thous
ands more are turning their eyes towards
new homes in the fertile West. To those go
ing to Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska,Colorado,
Utah, Wjoming. Neuada, Oregon, or Cali
fornia, we recommend a cheap, safe, qnick
and direct route, via St. Louis, over the Mis
souri Pacific Railroad, which runs its flue
Day Coaches and Pullman Sleepers from St.
Louis to principal points in fche West, with
out change. We believe that the Missouri
Pacific Railroad has the best track and the
finest and safest equipmentof any line west
of the Mississippi, and its connections with
roads further West are prompt and reliable.
The Texas connection of this road is now
completed," and passenger are offered a first
all-rail route from St. Louis to Texas, cither
over the Missouri, Kansas & Texas R. R.,
via Sedalia, or'over the Atlantic & Pacific R.
R.. via Vinita. For maps, time tables, infor
mation as to rates, routes, &c., we refer our

Th* Charming Widows.—Of all the charm
ing women in the world a charming widow
is decidedly the most charming. This is not
a bare assertion but an indisputable fact.
And while we affirm it to be a fact, our poet
ic soul rejoices to know that we have the
proof to substantiate said fact, right within
the corporate limits of the “Oak City.”
Without likening a charming widow to the
Heathen Chinee, they are “peculiar.” Their
imile is the sweetest, their style the most ap-
proved. They are irresistible—more little
beau-catchers, kiss me if Jou dares, love me
little love me longs, ever showing themselves
modestly, cutely, but being always seen—you
bet. Tonng men adore them, young ladies,
deplore them, old maids are shocked.
Oh, these widows, these dashing widows.’
They take S3 the beaus, get all the boggy,
rides, monopolize the beet of everything.
But why not—’.tie not their ianlt. We’ve
known • widow to sot a go-’Img boy to study-
The Crops—A Model Farm.—As far as
we can learn crops throughout the county
are doing well. None complain of poor pros
pects except those too lazy to work their
farms. True, in some places, the wet weath
er and the succeeding drought have injured
crops somewhat, but when, in such cases,
proper cultivation was applied the injury
amounts to nothing.
Yesterday evening we accompanied Mr. T.
B. Hunnnewell to his and Mr. Jake Harrell’s
farm, four mil°s sooth of this city. Arriving
there our horses were saddled, and under
the lead of Mr, Harrell, we rode over the en
tire farm. Messrs Harrell and Hunnewell
have 170 acres iq cotton, whi ch is without
doubt the finest average crop in the county.
A considerable portion of this cotton must
be six feet high, and laden with bolls, and
the whole w^l average above knee high, and
every stalk groaning beneath its load of fruit.
In this 170 acres of cotton there is no
grass whatever—it is as dean as a parlor
floor, or as was aptly remarked, “a grass-
worm would starve in it imwo hours.” Mr.
Harrell has worked and ploughed this cotton
five different time*. Their corn crop, is, also,
fine. Some of it can’t he beat anywhere.
These gentlemen showed ns thirty-five acres
of new-ground corn and cotton, the land be
ing cleared in January last. No fertilizers
were used, yet the crop is excellent. The
ootton will yield a bale to two acres, and the
corn 20 bushels to the acre. ,
Thev also showed us the old Truluck fiel d,
a tract of land that had been worn out years
ago, and bad grown np in pine sprouts,
broom-sege and brier*. It was cleared up
this year and the cotton growing upon it
now is astonishing. It will make a bale to
three acres.
Harrell & HunDewell have used only 6,
tons of guano upon their whole crop. “El
bow grease” was their principal fertilizer.
A e might say much more hat time forbids ;
but let us conclude by giving Mr. Jake Har
rell tha credit to which he is entitled: if all
the Hprt farmers of the county were assembled
together after having sees this crop, they
would award the palm of being ‘Ac beat to Mr.
Barren.
i .Iiij to the World ! .Woman is Free 1—
Among the many’moder'rfdiscnvjricTlooking
to the happiness and amelipration of the hu
man nice, none is entitled to higher consid
eration than the renowned remedy—Dr. J

Friend. By it woman is emancipated from
numberless ills peculiar to her sex. Before
its magic power all irreglarities of the womb
vanish. It cures whites. It cures suppres

structions. It cures constipation and strength
ens the system. It braces the nerves and
purifies the blood. It never foils, as thous
ands of women will testify. This valuable
medicine is prepared and sold by L. H. Brad-

BRADFIELD & CO., Atlanta, Ga.—Dear
Sirs; I take pleasure in stating that I have
used for. the last twenty years, the medicine
you are tfe# putting up, known as Woman’s
Best Friend, and consider it the best combi
nation ever gotten together for the disseases
for which it is recommended. I have been
familiar with the prescription both as a prac
titioner of medicine and in domestic practice,
and can honestly say that I consider it a
boon to suffering females, and can but hope
that every lady in our whole land, who may
be suffering in any Way peculiar to their
sex, may be able to procure a bottle, that
their suffering not only be relieved, but that
they may be restored to health and strength.
With my kindest regards.
I am respectfully, W. B. Ferrell, M.D.
We could add a thousand other certificates;
but we consider the above amply sufficient
proof of its virtue. All we ask is a trial. .

Before makinj
low the advice of the “thousands who
already gone,” it would be well to consider
what has been done to make the journey to
your “Homes in the West” as pleasant and
as free from danger as hitman (drill and fore
sight can accomplish.
By consolidation and construction a road
has been put into operation on the shortest
possible line from Nashville. Tenn., to St.
Louis, “the future great City of the world."
This line, tbe
St. Louis & Southeastern Railway,
bas, during the past year, earned an envia
ble reputation by its smooth track, prompt
time, sure connections, and the magnifi
cence of its passenger equipment Its trains
are made up of new and commodious day
cars, provided with the celeorated Miller
coupler and platform, and the westinghouse
air-brake..
It is positively the only line running Pull
man Palace Drawing-Room Sleeping Care
through without change from Nashville to
St Louis. No other Kne pretendB to offer
such advantages, either in distance, tine, or
equipment Why, then, journey by circuit
ous routes ? Do not bo induced to purchase
tickets to St Louis or the West by any other
line, remembering that
The “St. Louis A Southeastern”
is the shortest, cheapest, quickest, best and
only line under one management from Nash
