The flea crop is abundant this year.—
Advocates of the hog law arc already
beginning to scratch and growl.
Oak City Fire Company was out on
drill on Mflnday afternoon, for the first

We hare succors for breakfast, esifhh

Oh, we’ve plenty of fish.
A vender of soda founts showed off the
“excellent qualities” of his machines last
Saturday at the hotel. We understand he
gave a “free blow.”
We can’t hear anything talked about
now but the Steam Boat Excursion. It
will be a nice affair, and we advise all to
go who can possibly do so.
By the way, ain’t it most time to or
ganize another temperance lodge here ?—
It’s been some time since the last one
broke up.
Henry Smart has ordered a bed room
set for the calaboose from Savannah, and
will soon be ready to accummodate the
most fastidious.
The river is rising rapidly, but we hard
ly think the annual spring freshet has
commenced yet. Not rair enough yet
for that.
The matrimonial market is distressing
ly dull. We suppose the girls have con
cluded to take our advice, and not marry
until they can support a husband. And
we don’t know but what they are right.
Maj. J. B. Jodcs of Blakely, paid us a
visit last week. Always glad to see the
Major, for he is so pleasant and good-na
tured that it only takes a few minutes
acquaintance for one to like him.
That side walk nuisance on Water
street is getting worse all the time, and is
rapidly leading to bad results. Well, let
it rip; it will be a good thing to help
bring on the spring fights.
Smoked glass was in demand last Sat

Some wretch, a lover of sensation, put
out a painful rumor in this city on Satur
day, to the effect that the white pine sup
ply had run out. The cruel report was
found to be without foundation.
We are requested to state that Mr. Am-
ran. at Rosenfeld’s, desires to buy all the
young kittens that can be procured. He
will pay a liberal price. Bring up your
kittens.
That was the meanest thief we’ve beard
of this season, who went to Mr. Thomas
Scott’s gar.'cn Saturday night, dug up all
of his onions, and then stole his wash
basin and water bucket to carry off the
onions. There is only one remedy: Vigi
lance and shot.
We are going to keep a “warm place”
for those editors who will come up and
go with us on the Boat Excursion We
hope to see a large delegation of the
fourth estate present, and, if postal cards
didn’t cost so much, we might tell them
some things which we shall not risk in
print.
Fashion gazettes tell us that the abomi
nable old head nets will soon be in vogue
among the ladies again. We sincerely
hope not. Our patriotic pride as an
American citizen prevents our embracing
the nets—no, we mean the fashion which
warrants the nets.
Our “devil” has returned, and says he
does not thank the editor for putting in
that notice about him. We don’t know
what to do with that boy. We had half
a mind to talk Sunday School talk to him,
cud advise him to “lay up treasures in
Heave",” but we know it would beadead
loss, for he would probably never see
them again.
Next Saturday is “all fool’s day,” that
being the first day of April. We wish to
notify those who are prone to pranks that,
being engaged in the preparation of an
elaborate and searching article on the
finances of Bainbridge, we will not stand
any jokes calculated to divert our mind
from the great subject.
Read General Gordon's speech on
Revenue Laws, delivered in the United
States Senate on the 9th isst., and which
we publish on the outside to-day. It is
manly, able and comprehensive, and will
cause those who read it to open their
eyes in perfect wonder at th^ revelations
made. A telegram states that this law
will not effect the price of drinks in Bain-
bridge.
The latest amusement is termed the
“Printer’s Delight,” and is performed in
the following manner: Take a sheet of
note paper, fold it up carefully and en
close a bank note sufficiently large to pay
up all arrears and a year in advance. And
what adds immensely to the feat is to
send along the name of a new subscriber,
with cash to balance. Keep your eye on
the printer, and if you detect a smile the
trick is a success. Try it.—Et.
Mr. Montie 8. Whileiey has .een elect
ed Captain of the champion nine of the
Star Base Ball Club. A good selection.
Montie is one of the very best players in
Georgia, and is well qualified for the po
sition. We hope the Captain may have
rigorous discipline in his nine this season,
for it is well known that one or two
games were lost last year for want of
proper enforcement of the rules in that
particular. The first nine is now com
posed of Whiteley, Beach, Graves, B. L.
Griffin. Williams. Wooten. Townsend.
Brand and Meat-
There seems to be an unusually large
number of unemployed colored persons
in Decatur county this year. Not that
they are indisposed to work, but because
the farmers as a general rule are unable to
hire many, and unaided, without stock,
grain, meat, money or credit, they cannot
make a crop or carry on n farm. While
riding nbont the county our attention has
been attracted to the increased number of
fishermen and fisherwomen. The shady
banka of every pond is fringed with strong
men, stout women, and ragged children,
who ait from rosy morn ’til dewy eve.
fishing-rod in band, drawing their living
from the muddy waters. And no sooner
is a luckless “cat” or slimy perch cast up
on the shore, than it is laid upon a collec
tion of amokey coals, roasted and devour
ed.
At the stores and shops they are barter
ing all they possess for something to eat.
Some are selling their last chickens to
supply immediate want, and many resort
to pelf by night. Gardens, smoke-houses,
and hencoops are constantly invaded, and
this is only the beginning of the end, for
they must Hve and will not be scrupulous
how that living is obtained.
Now, labor is in demand in other sec
tions of the State, and why not emulate
their white neighbors in seeking those
places which promise the best compensa
tion for their labor. We hear, from re
sponsible white gentlemen and reliable
colored, that in those sections of the State
that have been depleted of their laborers
by emigrant agents for the Western States,
that there is a great demand for farm la
borers. On the plantations about Colum
bus, Ga., we learn that labor is scarce and
that the farmers would be glad to hire
good hands. There is no sense in starv
ing here when there is plenty elsewhere.
What’s a Printer?
A printer is the must curious being liv
ing. He may have a “bank” and “quoins”
and not be worth a cent; have “small
caps” and have neither wife nor children.
Others may run fast, he gets along swift
er by “setting” fast. He may be making
“impressions” without eloquence, may
use the “lye” without offending, and still
tell the truth; while others can not stand
while they set, heoau “set” standing, and
do both at the same time, may have to
use “furniture,” and yet have no dwell
ing; may make and put away “pi-,” and
never see a pie, much less eat it, during
his whole life; be a human being and a
“rat” at the same time; may “press” a
good deal, and not ask a tavor; may han
dle a “shoting iron,” and know nothing
about a cannon, gun or pistol; be may
move the “lever” that moves the world,
and yet be as far from the morning globe
as a hog under a mole-hill; “spread sheets”
without being a housewife; he may lay
his form in a “bed,” and yet be obliged
to sleep on the floor; he may use the “dag
ger” without shedding blood, and from
the earth may handle “star”; he may be
of a “rolling” disposition, and stiil never
desire to travel; he can have a “sheep’s
foot,” and never be deformed; never with
out a “case,” and knows nothing about
law or physic; be always correcting his
“errors,” and be growing worse every
day; have “em braces,” without ever hav
ing the arms of a lass thrown around him;
have his “form locked up,” and at the
same time be far from the jail, watch-
house, or any other confinement ; lie might
be plagued by the “devil,” and yet be a
Christian of the best kind.—Typo.
The Fair-
Contrary to the expectation of the peo
ple, the Directors of the Fair Association
failed to meet Saturday as requested, and
the enterprise is at a standstill for the pres
ent at least. It is-not necessary for us to
say that these officers and Directors who
refnsed to attend here Saturday h’ave fail
ed to do their duty, but. we will say that
the people and friends of the Fair have
been badly disappointed. The Secretary
informs us that another meeting will be
ordered in a few days, and still another
strong effort made to start the thing in
motion. We do hope and trust that our
pride as a county and a people, if noth
ing else, will move us in the matter. We
have no sort of disposition to despair and
give up in this thing.
We have no more tosayforthe present,
but await the result of the next meeting.
If that is a failure, then the fair is a fail-
ure-
Our Gardens
The effect of the recent remarkably cold
weather upon gardens has been damaging
in the extreme. A good many of them
were almost entirely ruined, and will
have to be replanted from end to end.
Thia is quite a calamity to some of our
citizens, especially in these hard times.
There are some, however, that were but
slightley injured, and will soon recover.
There is a conflict of opinion as to what
will be the result upon the fruit crop, but
we incline to the impression that if not
ruined outright, it will be stunted and cut
short no little.
Death of Dr- E- Peacock-
Dr. Elbert Peacock, a prominent physi
cian, and one of the best men in all this
land, died after a lingering illness, at his
plantation, at chattahooehe river in this
county, on Monday morning last. His re
mains were interred in the city cemetery
at 8} o’clock Tuesday evening, with ma
sonic honors. We under our sympathies
to the bereaved.
Fresh Meats-
H. B. Ehrlich has market every morn
ing where the choicest fresh meats can be
had, or he will deliver same at your resi-
[ssrket price paid for
Hose ’Company.
Some of the young men of this city,
composed principally of the fotmer mem
bers of that organization, reorganized the
Peabody Horse Company on last Thurs
day night. Mr. Ben L. Griffin was elect
ed Foreman, B. A Beach Assistant, J. D.
Ponder Secretary snd Herman Gantz
Treasurer.
The Company was instituted this latter
time on the idea of an independent com
pany, and has no connection whatever
with any other organization. Council
granted the petition for them to organize,
and the company thereupon petitioned
Stonewall Engine Company for the Hose
Carriage in the posession -of that Com
pany, and which has for some time been
out of service. Stonewall will act upon
the petition at the next regular meeting,
on the first Wednesday night in next
month.
If properly organized and conducted,
this will be an important arm of our fire
service, and we wish the boys success in
their movement.
Bring in Another Horse
Carry him to Jake Born’s and rig him
out in a new set of harness at your own
price. He is selling cheaper than ever
before, but
Bring in another horse,and you will find
that Jake sells the best harness, saddles,
bridles, &c., and
Bring in another horse, and buy goods
from Jake Bom. He has a large stock on
hand, and—but
Bring in another horse, and you will
find that Jake sells cheap, and will take
your notes for payment, and
Bring in another horse, and just see the
tremendous large stock of goods Jake
Born has on hand. But
Bring in another horse, and buy what
you want, from a set of harness to a paper
of carpet tacks, and at such prices as was
never heard of before in Bainbridge.
However
Bring in another horse,,and learn that
Jake Born, owing to the hard times, will
sell to you and take your notes in pay
ment. But above all be sure you don’t
forget to
Bring in another horse, and call on
Jake Born.
[Call and see Jake, and if he don’t sell
to you, he has our permission to "set up
the beer.”—[Eds. Deu.]
Weil & Loeb
We desire to call the attention of the
public to the advertisement of this new
firm, to be found in the Da mock at to-day.
It will be seen that Mr. Jonas Loeb has
become a patrner with Mr. Simon Weil,
and that the firm hereafter will be Weil
Loeb.
Both gentlemen composing the firm are
well and favorably known in this commu
nity, and we feel assured their many
friends will be gratified to know they
have consolidated and will make a strong
team iu the business train of Bainbridge.
They announce new godds. at the very
lowest prices, and we advise customers
to give them a call before purchasing else
where. Mr. Loeb will leave in a few days
for the Northen Markets, where he will
lay in a large and exhaustive spring stock.
Weil and Loeb are both young men, ac
tive, live and progressive, and, more than
all, appreciate printers’ ink. We predict
for the new firm a brilliant and prosper
ous career.
Firemanic-
Mr. B. F. Colbert, 1st Assistant Engi
neer of the Fire Department, having re
signed, an election was held on last Mon
day evening to fill the vacancy. Dr. E.
J. Morgan. 2d Assistant, was promoted to
1st, and Mr. C. L. Beach elected 2d As
sistant.
Monday, the 10th of April, will be the
meeting for the annual election of officers
of the Oak City Fire Company. We are
not subsidized in favor of any man or set
of men. No “ethics” for us.
We learn that Peabody Hose has secur
ed the Bruton Warehouse, on Broughton
street as a teporary hall and house for
their apparatus.
We have heard of no movement among
the firemen for the usual May jomboree.
We opine that times are too hard.
We believe there is a by-law in the Fire
Department whieh requires a quarterly
drill and inspection of the Department,
but it seems to be totally disregarded.
Admission at the Centennial.
For tke benefit of any of our citizens
who contemplate visiting the Centennial
exhibition, we will state that the price of
admission will be fifty cents, payable in
one note. No season tickets and nothing
but a fifty cent note will buy the entrance
fee. If you have two twenty-five cent
notes, a dollar note or one of larger de
nomination, it must be changed to the
veritable fifty cent piece, and then passed
to the receiver at the entrance, who will
be by the recording stiles, but have noth
ing to do except to decide whether the
notes are good or bad, and drop them in
the boxes, where each one will register
itself.
Shoemaking'
We notice that Andrew Buckbannon,
one of the best shoemakers in Bainbridge,
has opened a shop on Broad street, north
of Rutherford’s Stable, and in the same
house where Stokes has his bersess shop.
We take pleasure in testifying to Mr.
Buckhannon’s skill], as a workman, and
we bespeak for him a good share of pat
ronage from our citizens. Give him a
trial, and you will be pleased with his
work.

LUDDEN A BATES,
Souther Music House, Savannah, Ga.
A Live Music House
Messrs. Ludden A Bates, proprietors ef
the Great Southern Music House at Savan
nah, Ga , are fairly entitled to the honor of
being the most enterprising men in the trade.
Here they are in these dreadful hard times
actually doing a larger trade than ever be
fore. The reason why, is found in the fact
that the harder times get the cheaper they
sell, and musical people throughout the
South have found out that their prices are
aUcays the lowest
They have just largely reduced cash prices
on PIANOS and ORGANS, and offer induce
ments such as never have been known in
the South. Those who ever want to pur
chase shou.d by all means correspond with
them.
An Appeal to Parents-
Parents, do you love your children f
Then preserve their health. Next to the
blessing of life itself, is the enjoyment of
perfect health. How many are stricken
down in their infancy almost without a
moment’s notice by that insidious-disease,
Croup, simply through the neglect to be
provided with the proper remedy* The
terder plant is nipped and withers ere it
blooms. When the little sufferer has
short, difficult, hoarse breathing, with a
harsh metallic cough, % like coughing
through a brass trumpet' there is no time
to lose. Begin at once the use of Dr.
Tctt’s Expectorant and the disease will
readily yei'd to it. Always have It ready
in the house, as this fatal malady requires
the promptest treatment. It is very pleas-
sant to the taste, and children take it
readily.
