Five Cabbage.—Mr. Zim Truluck makes oahlmge equal to the finest raised North, on his place, 12 miles from town. Simon A. Wiel wants to see every man. .woman and child in Decatur county. Call at his store, it will be to your advantage. Chops iv Florida.—Mr. J.

IlKMqyAj. or the Post Office.—The post office has'been removed to the new store of Pr. Bownc’s. oif South Broad street, directly opposite Where it formerly was. Fishing Fabtt.—A large party of Gentiles left for Spring Creek. Tuesday morniag.on a fishing expedition. The ravenous inusquito gave thorn a warm welcome. A debating club has developed itself among the logical young men of Pine Hill District. Ouc, also, is making headway, in the neighborhood of Faceville. Fact.—It is a remarkable fact that the mo ment a woman unites a letter, she is franrie to have it put in the post-office, although she may have put off the writing for six.mnnth«. . vine; the ipoCha >y,-4 f #J f ij 1oa£ End paii after* lerremtana were ca<iqpd to their last resting place on Friday, accompanied by many friends. Our symp** tfcies aty^endered her bereaved relatives. To CosdM*inum.—We went a triable oiretqxtndeBt Wrench precinct in ttt ty, to keep os fully ponied as U matters hap pening here and there. Correspondence con fining NEWS solicited, hnd if-use^ psn), ly paid for at so much per printe dline. ”VT% want to enter the Fall Campaign in the front 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.— .We wish somebody would take a bludgeon And smash the ami of that chap with the accord eon; He keeps such a d—I of a fqss the livelong *** That our thoughts, local and editorial, fly clear away. . 3 - H^canbe found in Ben Colbert’s saloon Fifty conto to. tkemanwhomurders hint soon, and smashes his darned old screeching ac cord eonin twenty-nine thousand fragments about tbe size of little bits of burnt glass. —I 1 ■«**■» ■ The Appro achibo Business Season.—We give it as the opinion of one of our leading merchants, a* weD as our own, that business will be exceeding lively in this section next Fall. Farm«Bsypsf»j#oidedmaking«Buper- fluous debts during the Summer,'in fact, as ageneral thing they lived bn “next to noth ing,” and .with the certain prospect of boun 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. Calicoes of the best quality at -12} rand less at Simon A. Weil’s. Woodson, a manumitted darkey, and “de- batist,” says, “Berricus Yestarpuaius ex-- covered Reberica® " A free hashery would pay in Bainbridge at this particular tine. *A poor nigger was found totally dead in the street last Saturday night.

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 a few days in our city. Quincy always was ■eel el waned tS.r the beauty, intelligence and worth of women. Personal.—Mr. Jacob Born has arrived 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. [Communicated.] Mr. Editor:—Naturally the success of the bust! burglar in our city suggests to many of us lifts propriety of some effective step in the present defenseless condition of property in our city. - The man or woman who totes the incendia ry torch, or the one who pliee the auger and jimmy to your back door at midnight, and backs up his cart to make a flank movement j on your stock of groceries and clothing, are i at present the prmltged clou. >- 0 wthe subject suggest* some change of Cotton Mr. 8.

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. .

Ludden & Bates, Publishers, Savannah, Ga. July 3, 1878—3m 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 readers to J. F.

Tuck, Land Commissioner, St. Louis, Mo. ifMay 13—ly. 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 Bind ft eld's Female Regulator, Woman’s Best 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 sion.of the menses. It removes uterine ob 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- field, Druggist, Atlanta, Ga., Price, $1,50 per bottle. All respectable drug men keep it. ’ La Grange, Ga., March 28, 1870. 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. .
