Savannah New*: The Bainbridge Demo
crat, jvith characteristic energy, is labor
ing earnestly for a Fair next fall. We trust
the citizens of Decatur county, particu
larly the farmers and business men, will
aid the Democrat in its efforts in this di
rection. The eminent success of the
Thomasville Fairs has done more to prac
tically develop the resources of Southern
Georgia than all the immigration bureax
that could be organized. If Decatur fails
to have a Fair we shall attribute it solely
to the supineness of the people of that
section.
BOAT EXCURSION
Quitman, and, Yaldojta Speak Out
On the 2nd inst., at the request of sev
eral gentlemen interested in the matter,
we wrote a paragraph saying that the
young men of onr city were agitating the
question of a Steam. Boat Excursion some
time about the first of May, and asked our
contemporaries in (Quitman, Thomasville
and ValdpstA to. stir the thing up, in order
that our neighbors down that way might
come up and join us. The Thomasville
papers have made no reply, probably hav
ing overlooked the matter. We publish
below what Quitman and Valdosta have
to say in the matter:
The Quitmanites are always ready for
pleasant reunions of any kind with the
people of onr neighboring towns, and they
never fail to patronize excursions gotten
up under aupices similar to those suggest
ed by our Bainbridge contemporary. The
trip referred to would, we think, be ojje
of rare attractiveness and enjoyment, and
we have no hesitancy in assuring our
friends in the “Oak City” that the excur
sion, if gotten up, will receive the hearty
co-operation and liberal patronage of the
elite of Quitman. Roll on the ball, broth
er Johnston.—Quitrnan Reporter.
We have no doubt but that a goodly
number from Valdosta could be induced
to go. Make out your schedule, fare &c.,
ancf then we will test the matter here.
Oqp folks are always in for anything that
is pleasant and profitable.— Valdosta Times.
We again ask our Thomasville friends
tQ speak out. We would also like to hear
from Albany, Camilla, Boston, Cairo,
Quincy and other points. If the pioject-
ors become satisfied the attendance will
be sufficient, they will proceed to get up
an affair on a grand scale, and one which
would afford no ptqalj share of enjoyment
to those attending.
Since writing the above our Senior hoa
handed jn the fqllowing:
STEAMBOAT EXCURSION TO APALACHICOLA.
There will be a steamboat excursion
under the auspices of the Bainbridge Cor
net Band from Bainb.ridg* to Apalachico
la on or about the 27th of April prox.
The steamer will be absent o.n the trip
three days. Distance from Bainbridge to
Apalachicola 250 miles. The excursion
will be most delightful. The rate of pas
sage will not be over $6 per ticket for the
round trip,’ and probably less. Parties
who desire to go on this trip are requested
to communicate with the undersigned as
soon as possible. Newspapers along the
Gulf Road would confer a favor by copy
ing this.

A Sad and Shocking Accident-
Last Monday jast before qoon, the plan
tation of Mr. Wm. Bonalson, 8 miles
from this city, on the Attapulgus road, was
the scene of a fearful accident. The facts
as related to us are substantially these:
There was a tract of land near his house
that Mr. Doqalsqn did not wish have
burnt off, and as the woods were afire in
close proximity thereto, it tqqk his utmost
to keep the flames back. His litttle
daughter went to his assistance, and the
mother heing afraid that some accident
might befall them went out to seek them.
This left Mrs. Sqdetb, a young married
daughter, alone at tlie house. The mother
not returning, Ml'S- Suda.h went to seek,
her, and on her way found the . fire pro
gressing toward the land Mr. Donalson
wished protected, and commenced to put
it out, While thus employed her cloth
ing took fire, which her mother was first
to discover, and with a cry qf alarm rush
ed to her rescue. Startled by her mother’s
voice and realizing her perilous position,
the unfortunate lady became panic-strick
en, and fled, while the devouring flames
enveloped her in an awful blaze.
Frantic with terror, the mother sprang
toward her with superhuman speed, over
took her, and done all in her power to
smother the fire, and tear the burning
clothes away. In the meantime the father
reached the spot, and with his timely aid
the rabid flames were at last extinguished.
Not, however, until their lovely daughter
had been shockingly burned, in some
parts of her hody to a crisp. She is still
lingering, at this writing, and yery little
hope is entertained for her recovery.
The unfortunate lady is, we presume,
about twenty years of age, and has been
married but: a few months. She has been
residing with her husband in this city
since her marriage, and was on a brief
visit to her parents when the fqtal acci
dent occurred. The one universal feeling
in this community is qf deepest sympathy
and regret.
An Omission.
Sometime* & reporter, however careful
he may be, and however disinterested his
intentions, will be guilty qf th* sin of
omission, and other faults which occasion
ally give dissatisfaction. This is the
cose with us now. In the hurry of writ
ing up the ball last week, we failed to no
tice several prominent characters, and we
did not discover the omission until too
late to remedy it. We regret this more
than any one else possibly could, as those
characters were made up of parties from
abroad, and visitors to qqr city.
Miss Bertha Brash,from Ochessa, Flori
da, represented the “German Peasant
Girl,” and excited considerable attention
by the credit she did the character. Mr.
Ben Davis, of Chattahoochee, Fla., repre
sented the “Fireman,” and really Ben
looked as naturally as when, in years gene
by, he carried the “lead rope” on the Oak
City. Mr. H. Brash repiesented a Con
federate General, and sustained his char
acter admirably. But the prettiest charac
ter of all was little David Cohen on his
velocipede. Davy looked the very image
of one of those baddish boys whose chief
delight it is on the street to roll across a
lady’s trail or effect a collision with a
gentleman’s pet corn. Isadora Kwilecki
played clown, and Herman Gantz looked
nice as a sailor boy. We believe most of
the other characters present were domi
noes.

Ask Wednesday-
Mr. Editor:—! observed in your last*
of the 9th instant soma remarks regarding
Ash Wednesday- on which I beg the privi
lege of saying a few words. This state
ment ta there made, Ash Wednesday “is
called so because in the Roman church
the priest blessed ashes on this day, and
puts them on the heads of the people.” A
fanciful derivation. Instead of |the day
taking its name from that superstitious
custom, the name and custom arose out
of a practice in the primitive church. A
practice mors ancient than the existence
of papal authority, or error. In those
early days the discipline of the church
was strict, and great offenders against
faith or morals were excluded from the
common prayers, as well as from the sa
crament. Such of these offenders as were
penitent, and. longed for restoration to
the privileges of the church, were accus
tomed to olothe themselves in sack-cloth,
and sprinkle ashes upon their heads in
token of penitence; in this garb they stood
at the church door and besought the
prayers of the faithful to God for His
grace and pardon, and solicited also their
intercession with the Bishop that the time
of their exclusion might be shortened.
This was especially done before the Eas
ter festival^ during the whole season of
Lent. Heqcq naturally the first day- of
this season qf humiliation among its de
scriptive names had one referring to this
custom. Diesqinerum, or day of ashes.
And when the forty-sixth day before Eas
ter began to be counted as the first of
Lent it wtp called Ash Wednesday.
This use of ashes, as a symbol of peni
tence, was a notorious thing in early days
spoken of by fathers in the centuries
before the birth of papal pretentions, and
in regions of the church never subject to
the Pope.
The same article speaks of “the com
munication of the Common Prayer Book
of England"—evidently the writer means
tfie “Comminution service of said Book—
speaks of it in such a way as to favor the
idea that the church of England sets her
people on “cursing their neighbors,” and
has a service which i9 “a departure from
the Christian dispensation, and its injunc
tions of brotherly kindness.” It is enough
to say, the position of the English ritual
referred to is a quotation from a denun
ciation against sin, by God given to
Moses, and commanded to be read to the
Jewish People. So the suggested censure
rebounds from that church, and strikes
upon the shield of the All Righteous One.
The quotation is to this effect, “Cursed
is he that cursetli father or mother, that
removeth his neighbors land-mark; that
perverteth the judgment of the stranger,
the fatherless, and widow; that taketh re
ward to slay the innopout, that taketh
reward for his defence, and in his heart
goeth from God, etc. The people respond
to each phrase, as Jehovah bid Ids ancient
people da “Amen”—this is true. If these
be sins, if divine indignation rests upon
those practising them, where is the offence
against charity in reminding the people
of the solemn part in God’s own words;
or in their assenting to the truth, in the
term He bid Ilia people use? If this be an
affense against charity, surely our preach
ers all are guilty qf “a departure from the
Christian dispensation and its injunctions
of brotherly kindness” whenever they de
nounce sin, or declare that the impeni
tent and unrenewed are under the Divine
condemnation. C.
The article excepted to by our corres
pondent was taken, we believe, from the
Atlanta Courier, which paper no doubt
got it somewhere else. Not being con
versant with church ethics, we, of course,
could not see the error made plain by our
friend. |Eds. Democrat.
Parim Festival.
Many qf our citizens do not understand
wfiat is meant by “Purim,” as celebrated
by the Israelites, and by request we give
the following sketch of the great festival,
as copied tfom (he Savannah News:
The festival was instituted by Mordecai
at the suggestion of Esther, in the reign
of Ahaqsuerus, King of Persia, to com
memorate the deliverance pf the Jews
front tfie designs of Haman. It derived
its name from the lots cast every day for
twelve months, ‘ n the presence of Haman,
with the view of discovering an auspic
ious day for the destruction of all the
Jews in tfie Persian dominions, when the
lot fell on the 18th day of Adar (February
and part of March). The celebration of
this festival is mentioned by Josephus,
who, having observed that the Jews in
fhushan feasted on the fourteenth day (of
Adar) and that which followed it says:
“Even now all the Jews in the habitable
world keep these days festival and send
portiqns one tQ another,” and also allud
ing to the deliverance of the Jews by
Divine protection, he adds, “for which
cause the Jews keep the forementioned
days, calling tjiem Pbr»raen days.” The
Talmud makes frequent mention of this
feast. In the Jerusalem Megillah it is
observed that “there were seventy-five
elders, above thirty Qf wljom were proph
ets, whq made exception against the feast
of Purim, ordained by Esther and Mor
decai, as some kind qf innovation against
the law.” Haimonidis remarks that it is
forbidden tp weep or fast on this day.
In celebrating the feast in the synagogue,
the book of Luther is read from beginning
to end, and ev e t> the reading of the law is
on this dqy pqstppned to it. It may also
be read in any language which the reader
understands. When Mordecai’s name
occurs, the whole congregation exclaim:
“Blessed be Mordecia !” and on mention
of that of Haman they say “May his pome
perish!” The remainder of the day is
spent in festivity, in Commemoration of
Esther’s feast, upon which occasion it is
usual for the orthodox to send presepts to
other. They also bestow alms on
the poor, from the benefit of which Chris
tians and other Gentiles are not excluded.
Purim is the last festival in the Jewish
ecclesiastical year, being succeeded by
the next Passover.
Fashion Dots-
-Our lady readers will probably-be inter
ested in the following fashion hints:
Silver roses are a popular garniture for
the hair.
Satin of a peculiar shade of pale pink
claims fattor with the popular cream and
ivory white for ball dresses.
Ladies are wearing white scarfs two
yards long, made of ecru lace—an inser
tion finished with a broad edge.
Gloves for street wear may be seal brown
for the first dress and wood color with
the second; but, for visiting, ivory, cream
or very pale cameo tints.
Ladies’ evening dresses, in Paris, are
now mostly very low necked in front, be
ing cut, at that poiut in the shape of a
heart, and white is the favorite material.
Cream color will remain popular through
the coming season, and will be brought
out in the various fabrics in three shades,
very light, medium and deep cream.
Sleeves for ladies who have plump
arms are made, without trimming, except
ing a cuff, which is simply a continuation
of the sleeve left open and corded at each
seam.
All the imported spring suits have a
pocket in some fanciful shape on one side,
rather low down.
Poufs and paniers are not worn, but all
the draperies are thrown back to give the
required bouffant effect.
Aschangel lace is the new name given
to all the cream colored cashmere, aipac-
cas, fleece, and w^ol laces of this season.
The new chip hats for spring wear are
cream colored, and are trimmed with
cream ribbons and laces, and very few
feathers.
The fashionable strings fqr all bepmets
are of cream-colored Brussells net, hem
med on one side, and the other side trim
med with Archangel lace.
The most fashionable shades for spring
hats are either pokes, capotes or bonnets,
with brims depressed at the sides, broad
on the top, and narrow behind.
Three shades of white, faille are shown
for the wedding desses—dead white, rosy
white, cream white. They are very
heavily repped, but are also very soft.
Mosses and grasses gone to seed are the
fashionable trimmings for rough straw
bonnets for early spring. They are mingl
ed with cream ribbons and cream laces.
Scarlet poppies are mingled with white
syringas, hawthorn blossoms and dark
foliage, to contrast with the white and
creamy tintq of the' other bonnet liitu
rnings
Mossoul gauze is the name of q qew
thin fabric coarser than grenadine, which
is shown both in cream color and black;
the cream for evening dresses qnd the
black for street t^eqr.
Satin “liane et soie” in a new damask
wool and silk fabric, light enough for
summer wear; it is intended for overdres
ses, with taffeta or gros-grain underskirts;
it comes in ail colors, but the creamy and
buff shades are the most in favor.
The Philion Combination-
To-night, at Hqpson Hall, this troupe
make their first appearance before a Bain
bridge audience. Having never witnessed
their performance, we cannot speak au
thoritatively on the subject, but we notice
that tlic press wherever they have been
mention them in the very highest terms.
The following article we copy from the
Jacksonville, Fla., Sun\
This company, combining theatrical
aud daring gymnastic performance, to
gether with some most astonishing magi
cal illusions, which exhibited at Polk’s
Hall on last Monday aud Tuesday even
ings, proved themselves to be the best of
the kind that has yet visited this city.
Indeed, we can truly repeat what has
already been said of them wherever they
have performed, tha( their entire pro
gramme is carried out in a manner that is
both creditable to themselves and inter
esting to the audience. Mods. Phillion’s
daring feats of gymnasts and juggling on
the slack wire arid globe, has never before
been equalled here, while the magnificent
aerial suspensions of Madame Phillion as
sleeping in mid air without support, was
a wonderful and pleasing picture, and one
that elicited the admiration of the entire
audience,” -
The Fair.
We haye U ot much to report in regard
to the progress of the Fair this issue. We
are informed by Dr. Butts, the Secretary,
that the Directors will probably hold a
meeting (his week, when some more defi
nite movement will be made-
We wo.uld suggest to the President and
Directors that there is no time to lose,
and that these are golden moments which
are being filtered away. The premium
list should be hefore the people now, in
order that everybody can see it,and know
that the fact of having a Fair is a reality.
The iron is hot, and now, right now, is
the time to strike. If we act, and act
promply, success is ours. If we procras
tinate, the jig’s up, and no mistake. TJie
eyes of our neighbors are upon us, and
we are closely watched. Then let the
thing move rapidly, apd those men who
have been honored by being placed at the
head of the movement owe it to the peo
ple to Jill the places to which they were
elected. We’ll see if they dp it.
On account of large stock of material on
hand, and the scarcity of money in circula
tion, I will repair Watches, Clocks and Jew
elry at the following reduced prices, viz:
Mainspring $1.50, Cleaning $1.50, Hands
25 to 75 cents per pair, Glasses 25 cents.
For cash only. W. C. Scbees.

Pare Him Aronnd-
We would remind our merchants to

their leaden iu the late, wag, We mention

Here they are in these dreadful hard times

on PIANOS and ORGANS, and offer induce
ments such as never have been known in

Gratuitions Advice-
This species of advice is not. always oo-
ceptaole, but doubtless in many instances
much benefit would be derived were it
promptly acted upon. No section of the
country is exempt from disease and many
regions has its “ills that flesh is heir to.”
To know the best moans of combatting this
common enemy, with the least injury to onr
pockets and testes, is certainly a great ad
vantage. At this season we must expect
Torpid Liver, congested spleen, vitiated bile
and inactive bowels, and all prudent persons
should supply themselves with Tutt’s Liver
Pills, which will stimulate the liver, relieve
the engorged sp’een, determine a healthy
flow qf bile, thus regulating the bowels and
causing all unhealthy’ secretions to off in a
natural manner. Remember that “an ounoe
of preventive is worth more than a pound of
cure.” Mch 2.
Beatii of E. A. Adams.
We regret to announce the death of the
above gentleman. He died at his residence
ip the western portion of this county on last
Monday morning. He was- a valuable and
esteemed citizen, and his death is generally
regetted.
Since writing the article on the Boat
Excursion, we have received the Thotuas-
ville Enterprise, and it say*: •We are
always in favor of n frolic, and this
promises to be n very pleasant one. We
hope tp hear more about it. No doubt
the band from this plsce would like to
join it and many of our young men.”
