Increase ef Population
Our population is increasing rapidly—
very rapidly; so rapidly that a baby-car
riage shop, and a Winslow Soothing Syrup
fzetofy are contemplated, and a stock com
pany formed for that purpose.
A Pact
H hen businees men of little nerve are on
the eve of “bust up,* they commence to “ re
trench” in the wrong way by withdraw
ing their advertisements from the press,
and such action can pretty generally be
set down as a prelude to bankruptcy. It is
estimated that not one man in a hundred
who advertises fails in business.
H. P. Bickford
Me call the special attention of our read
ers to the advertisement of the above named
gentleman, in another column. He succeeds
the widely-known and popular firm of Blair
A Bickford, dealers in doors, sash, Blinds,
etc.. Savannah. Mr. Bickford is one of the
most affable gentlemen in Savannah, and
we cordially commend him to the people of
Decntur and surrounding counties..
merchant Tailor-
It will he seen by advertisement else
where in these columns that Mr. William
Wolf has opened a merchant tailoring es
tablishment in this city, at the -store lately
occupied by Mess.‘Morgan A'Harrell, Drug
gists. He keeps on hand a tine assortment
of clothes, cussiineVes, gents furnishing
goods, etc., etc. Mr. Wolf is au experienced
tailor, and we know that he will succeed.
Our Prospects Brightening-
We are glad to record the fact that the
jieoplc of Jbunbridge are becoming more
fully alive to-the necessity of giving a more
busty support to Tmf. Democrat, the organ
which represent* the Democratic portion of
•ur people. In addition to those already
represented in our advertising columns,
f\ W. Patterson k Co., J. A. Butts & Co‘,
K. K. Peabody k Go., and Babbitt & War-
field, boars aU -.engaged * space. We shall
strive to merit -the good will of ou-r friends
-and the public generally.
major ’s Court-
The Mayor held a levee last Monday, alt
which time several “weak bribers’’ who
couldn’t stand much “benzine,” replenished
the city treasury $5 and costs each.
Our efficient Marshall and his prompt po
lice, arc bringing all evil doers before His
Honor, without respect t« person, rank “or
previous condition of servitude;” and the
Mayor is aot'at all slow in enforcing the
law.

ifhtcfeee of (old end silver, diamonds,
jewels, silver and plated ware, musical’ in
struments, enttlery, (pocket and table),
clocks, stationery, toys, ornaments, pictures,
and thousands of other articles grace the
shelves and show cases of this unique es
tablishment. Go and learn for youiselves
the truth of o nr statements'. Yon will' find
Mr. Subera a liberal man to deal with,- and
a gentleman whose statements can be relied
on.
Splinters-
Jolin Barleycorn waa quite promiscuous
on the streets last Saturday evening.
Bill Rutherford now pulls the strings over
the prettiest little turnout in the State.
Ehrlich wants to buy beef cattle, and he
offers the highest market price for them.
Next Saturday is St. Valentine’s Day. Go
to Cloud’s and supply yourselves.
Dr. H. S. Jones has jnst returned from a
visit to East Florida, and is very much im

Bainbridge. . 3 .
Dr. Watson glories in the most advanced
garden in town. He’s been eating Irish po

(New York Correspondence.)
The Grand Central Hotel, Hew York.
'Hal Jason” writes of a recent visit to
the Grand Central Hotel, as follows:
During the Winter, without disturbing
the guests, fresh decorations, have been ad
ded in every direction. New designs in
Pres co-work have been finished throughout
the halls, parlors, priucipal stai rca|es, grand
dining room, and exchanges. Standing in
in the roar of the grand exchange; facing
Broadway the tout entembU is magnificent-!—
unrivalled in Europe or America. The floor
spreads out before you, like a lake of mar
ble, an entire block in Jcngth and many
feet in width. Above, the riohly frescoed
ceiling is tupported by a dozen or more
carved Corinthian columns, while the mas
sive, suspended chandeliers, gleam at night
likg a sheen, with the glitter of -a hundred
white globes of light. Wander where you
will, all is in keeping with taste and beauty.
The Grand Central is hardly approached in
style and appointment by any other hotel in
New York, and yet. its rates are from one
to two dollars less than other first-class ho
tels being $3,00, $3.50 and $4.00 per day.
Mr Powers, its proprietor, sews to have
solved perfectly, for the public, the problem
of moderate rates and luxurious surround
ings.
The Testimony of Successful Men-
Judicious advertising is an investment
that never foils to pay.—.4. T. Stewart.
When we see our customers calling to their
aid the local press to help them sell their
goods.we are never uneasy.—Clajtin $ Co.
Advertising is to‘trade what steam is to
the engine—it is the motive power.—Orange
Judd, \
There is no doubt but that my persistent
system of advertising has contributed greatly
to ray business success.— W. A. Huff.
Jerry Wooten-
This colored institution was arrested on
Saturday last, -by Sheriff Harrell, for mali
ciously shooting, in its own yard, a small
white dog belonging to Byron Bower. Esq.
The SlRte not being ready, the case was ad
journed until Monday ten o’clock. He was
required to give bond in the sum of one
hundred dollars for his appearance, which
he did by inducing his colored friends to
deposit with the Sheriff the amount of his
bond in greenbacks- On Monday, he failed
to enter in his appearance, . His friends are
not happy.
Subers-
Observe the advertisement of Sabers, the
“live jeweler man” of Southwestern Geor
gia- . Hia establishment is a credit to Bain
bridge, and 'the peoplo wonder how he can
do such- an extensive businees in so small

The “Modern RieUzi ”
This all-puissant genius who though ir
every way worthy of a high pedestal in that
very much exalted and truly pious conglom-
meration of humanity known as the Radical
party, but who on account of his inherent
modesty and eager willingness to sacrifice
himself to the party behests occupies only a
three-legged stool, proposes to demolish
the McGregor, of JFarrcnton, with a volley
of tcords “next week.” Much better a tirade
of choice English expletives than “pistols
and chocolate for two.” Besides McGregor
may be a poor orphan, and ’twould be a
pity to hurt him, and it |s also reported that
he shoots very carelessly. IFhen the Clip

PRESENTMENTS OF THE
JURY.
We the Grand Jury choeen and sworn for
the November Term 1873, beg leave to make
the following presentments:
Upon examination ofthe Treasurer’s books
we find that they were examined January
9th 1874, by the Board of County Commis
sioners and that the Board gave the Treas
urer a certificate as to the neatness sad cor
rectness of the same, but the Books shew
that there arc no funds in the Treasury**
Upon examination of the Clerk’s books,
we find them neatly and as for as we could
judge; correctly kept. He has a varied col-
leation of books suited to the many different
kinds of cases, and we find them neatly kept
andadapted to their purpose. We also find the
Ordinary’s books neatly, and as far as we
could ascertain, correctly kept. Wc find
some ofthe roads and bridges in good order.
Many others not so good.
We find the following roads in bad order:
The North end of the road running by the
lime Sink.. The road leading from Bain
bridge to ThomasviUe, between - Thomas
Brown and Dr. Roddenbeiry. Also the road
leading to Quincy beyond the four mile
creek, also the road leading to Camilla, also
the road from'Hutchinson's ware-house to the
Florida line, all in bad condition and would
call the attention a f the County Commission
ers to them at once. •
We find a small bridge across Sweet
Water Creek near Whigham station needing
recovery at once, and thi bridge across Ata-
pulgas creek near Alapulgns. The bridge
in Wm. Powell's lane on the Thomasvilleroad
and the bridge on Spring Creek known as
Clouds bridge, are all is bad order and need
repairs at once. Also the bridge over Swamp
Creek on the Bainbridge and Tallahassee
road should be rebuilt at once. Wc find the
jail neatly kept by the present jailor, Mr.
John R. Scott. Some repairs are needed,
such- as locks to the-'doofs and repairs to the
cells and cist etn. The Court-house is iti as
good condition as the county finances will
justify in the present embarrassed condition
of the county.
In view ef the great amount of criminal
ca«es brought befori our court, we won'd
respectfully recommend the establishment'
a County Court in sur county to dispos
of such cases as might come before it in' nc
coHance with an act o' - the Te Mature en*
titled an (fet, to create a Countv fourt »•
"daoh county of the State of Genr-ria exerr
ertain. counties therein mentione'l. and w
respectfully ask th it His Excellency .Tame
M. Smith, appoint a suitable person as -Tud-e
of that court. ,
We find upon examination, that the Poor-
House is in good order and the inmates very
well cared for. We find the fencing in bad
order, and no wooding land to furnish fuel
or rails for said place, and we in our judge
ment do think that, if the Poor-House and
farm were sold and the proceeds thereof
placed in the County Treasury for the pur
pose of the expense of the poor of said coun
ty, we do think in our judgement, it would
be less expense to the tax payers of said
county.
In as much as we have not had time to
examine all the county officer’s books, we
have appointed R. R. Terrell and J. D.
Wooten to examine ail the books of the va
rious county officers and report to the next
term of this court, hut not to consume more
than two weeks in said investigation.
In taking leave of his Hon. Judge Peter J.
Strozier, we thank him for hia uniform
kindness and courtesy to our body, and also
tender him our warmest sympathies in the
loss he has recently sustained in the death
of his beloved son. And . to our Solicitor
General, B. B. Bower, we. also tepder our
thanks for his prompt attention to his duties
and his kindness and courtesy to us. We
also ask that the presentments be published
in both of our city papers. Respectfully
submitted: -
