LOCAL MATTERS
Bainbridge. Ga, May 18. 1878
LOCAL GOSSIP.
No one from here gone to the Centen
nial yet.
Bainbridge has some as good sleepers
as ever mounted a counter.
The hog population ot this city is on
the increase.
Jim Graves is going to the Centennial
by the “new line.”
Charley Mims has quite a racy account
of the Excursion, in the Columbus Time*.
The April showers came this year in
May, but they are extremely light
The Justice Courts keep on a full head
way of steam, and run accordingly.
The Skillet Club has gone, and the boys
say they can’t tell when they will return.
Why, what’s the matter* We havn’t
seen a tramp in over three weeks. Some
thing wrong somewhere.
We are tited of so much of this talk
about “silver change” without seeing any
of it.
The retie hafben nix society has suspend
ed for the present. Well, don’t care if
we do, lager if you please.
The latest and meanest thieving we
have heard of is the carrying away of a
lady's flower pots from her front piazza.
A young man is not fashionable now if
he does not wear a boquet in his button
hole.
The man who pays more for shop rent
than for advertising dou’t understand his
business.—Horace Greeley,
The Junior editor of the Democrat
claims the palm. He had cucumbers out
of his garden a week ago. .
It is not polite to call a man a liar now.
Just tell him he has lost his little hatchet.
This is the Centennial way.
Last Sunday was Communion Day with
the Presbyterians. Quite a large congre
gation was present.
High Gaulden got him a boat, and set
it afloat, this week. High says the fish
had better stand from under.
Of course we shall not swear to that re
port that a gold mine has been discovered
in the Southern portion of this county.
Mr. W. W. Wright has been elected
First Assistant Foreman of Oak City fire
company, to fill a vacancy.
That two days frolic out in the Bay will
be simply glorious. Captain Jack says it
will be just the time to catch turtles and
gather turtle eggs.
The “Stars" play a practice game at
their grounds on to-morrow afternoon at
5 o’clnbk, sharp. Everybody invited to
attend.
A very pleasant social party took place
: t the residence of Mr -. D. J. Dickinson
on last Wednesday evening. Sorry other
engagements-prevented our attendance.
Dr. Hall says people som -times catch
cold ‘lirougli the ear. This 'accounts for
Kit Wimberly wearing a horse blanket
stuffed in lus ear while on watch at night.
We liavn’t heard win t.licr Moody will
pay iis a visit, or not. We trust lie may
come clown and get up a revival among
our delinquent subscribers.
H 11. Ehrlich has market every morn
ing where the choicest fresh meats can be
had, or lie will deliver same at your rcsi-
den :-e. Highest market price paid for
cattle..
A young man remarked the other day
that if cat fish will bite until blackberries
get ripe, meat might go bang itself for all
he cared.
We know of but one tiling which is
calculated to make the talented checker
players look up from their game—a lady
sweeping by, fastened on to the enormous
bustle now in fashion.
The first regular pic nic of the season
took place at ’lie “Moore Pond” on Fri
day last. Quite a large number of our
citizens were in attendance, and we learn
all had a delightful time.
Wool buyers are gettieg plentiful in
this market—indeed there is about two
buyers to one seller. You see, the absence
of a dog law makes c ompetition lively.
Hurrah for competition.
The editors of the Democrat return
thanks to Capt. I. J. Williams and Purser
Sparks, of the Steamer Big Foot,for some
fine fish and oysters. They were nice
Mac, dear.
We were presented,last week, with a cab
bage by Mrs. Dr. L. II. Peacock, of Atta-
pulgus, that weighed about 18 pounds. It
was a whopper, and no mistake. Mrs. P.
has our very prettiest thanks.
The Steamer Big Foot was at our wharf
on Friday night. This Steamer has no
regular schedule here now, but Capt Wil
liams says he likes our people so well he
can’t help running up to see us occasional
ly.
“Ma, what is lanker ?” inquired a bright
looking child tbe other day. “I’m sure I
don't know, my son ; where did you hear
the word ?” “Why, at the Sunday School;
you know they sing, ‘We’ll stand the
storm, it won’t be long—We’ll lanker by
and by.”
Mayor Donalson has been having a
heap of fun here of late. Every day or
two he lias some poor weary soul up
before his august tribunal, the Police
Court. Saturday night two Morton men
had a fight—Monday His Honor took a
hand, and the city treasury was increas
ed.
A very wretched change has been made
in stockings this season. A fashion re
porter tells us that “the stripes running
up and down have entirely superseded the
stripe running round the stocking.” This
is much to be regretted, for, as everybody
knows, those round-and-round, ladder
like stripes were of no little assistance »o
the eye in going up. But then, after all,
as the eye had to depend on its own re
sources when it reached the point where
the circular stripes gave out, it is perhaps
well enough to leave it to its own resour
ce from the start.
Professor G. J Orr
This distinguished gentleman delivered
an address, on public education, in Bain-
bridge, on the 10th inst., to quite a large,
intelligent and attentive audience. While
the Professor canDot be called an impas
sioned orator, he U certainly a verv
chasie, forcible and impressive speaker.
His style is simple and lucid, and his
ideas are easily comprehended by the
most illiterate of his hearers ; and his ar
guments are almost as irresistable end
convincing as mathematical demonstra
tions. Tfic Professor showed the supe
rior advantages to be derived from a di
vision of labor in teaching, both because
the student can be much more thorough
ly, correctly and rapidly Instructed, and
at a much less cost, by a judicious divis
ion of labor among teachers, than in any
0 her way, and that the Pubi c School
System, if properly conducted, is better
adapted to a division of labor than pri
vate Schools can possibly be. The Pro
fessor is taking advantage of the sessions
of the Superior Courts to address the peo
ple of the different counties on the impor
tant subject of his labors as the School
Commissioner of -the Stats. But with
him, to arouse the people to a just appre
ciation of thl importance of public edu
cation seems to be something more than
the simple discharge of his official duty.
It has almost become a principle as if in
grafted in his nature, and from the zeal
and energy that he evinces in the work,
lie must have made it the grand mission
of his life. Very few of our public ser
vants nave placed the State under a larger
debt, of gratitude for good service render
ed, than Prof. Orr since his appointment
to office, by his energy and economy in
utilizing to the best advantage the small
fund appropriated by the State for educa
tional purposes, and by his indomitable
energy, through the County Boards and
Commissioners, in holding the teachers of
public Schools to an account for the pro
gress and proficiency of their pupils; and
by engendering, with his addresses, in
the minds of the masses a growing desire
for education
Prof Orr, for nearly a quarter of a cen
tury, has devoted his time to teaching,
either in the capacity of a Professor or
President in some of the best Colleges of
the State, and is by practice as well as
profession an educator of youth. He
brings to his present work a ripe scholar
ship, a fund of experience, and an amount
of practical knowledge possessed by very
few other men, if any, in the State. And
with a remarkable zeal and devotion to
his work, he is gradually, but surely, ad
vancing a cause that must certainly com
mand the first consideration of tlie States
man, the Christian and the philanthro-
1 pist.
The Grand Jury Presentments-
i YYe have not space at command this
! week to review the Presentments of the
i Grand Jury, in such a way as we think
Iter general tone and char; c:cr demand at
j our hands. Tak( n in their entirety, real
ly and truly they deserve a criticism more
severe than we feel disposed to bestow
upon them.
Two points only we shall notice now.
First, according to our way of thinking,
it is altogether wrong, and we might add,
highly reprehensible, in any Grand Jury
to make sweeping charges against public
officers for being guilty of unlawful acts,
instead of promptly finding bills against
the actors of those wrongs^ so that, if
guiltytliey can be made to suffer for their
shortcomings.
Second—we were not aware before that
it required a good moral cliarcter to get
into the Poor House. This institution
was built, as we understand^, for the
maintainance of those persons found
within the limits of the county who are
actually unable to procure a livelihood by
their own exertions, be they prostitutes,
hottentots, broken down members of the
Ku-K!ux, or fanything else human. If
these poor abandoned cteatures whom the
Jury mention are in a helpless condition,
however grave their offense against socie
ty and morals, they become, unworthy it
may be true, objects of charity, and wc
believe the Ordinary did nothing but liis
plain duty in sending them there. When
these women so far recover as to be able
to work for their living, then they should
be discharged, but while in their helpless
condition they are as much entitled to the
benefits of the public Poor House as any
one else.
Another Grand Excursion-
Capt. Williams informs us that his pop
ular steamer, the Big Foot, will make an
other grand excursion to Apalachicola
next month. This time the affair origi
nates in Columbus, from which city quite
a number will«embark, and will be joined
by others along the Chattahoochee river.
The boat will arrive here on the 6th of
June, aud we have heard of several front
Bain bridge who have expressed a desire
to go. Others from down the railroad
will probably join in, making quite a live
ly crowd. The boat will be gone from
Bainbridge probably four or five days, as
she will remain out in the Bay at Apa
lachicola for two days, affording ample
time for fishing, bird-shooting, &c.
This will be a delightful trip, and all
who are acquainted with Capt. Williams
and his polite and clever officers, need no
guarantee that things will be conducted
with the utmost propriety, and everything
done that wiU in the least conduce to the
pleasure of the excursionists.
Any further information desired will be
given by either of the editors of the Dem
ocrat, if addressed on the subject.
P. 8. We hope to «ee the quill drivers
present this time.

Decatur Superior Conrt-
This court, which hag been in session for
two weeks, adjourned on Saturday to the
regular term in coarse In November next.
From what we could gather from the dock
ets, and the evidence of officers and attor
neys, this term of the court has been a very
business like one, things being dispatched
with alacrity. The jail was cleared of every
criminal awaiting trial, and a large space
wss made in the cases on the civil docket.
The busine»s on this latter docket has been
steadily accumulating for the past sixteen
years, and consequently a large amount of
litigation is the result ; but a few more ses
sions nnder Judge Wright’s admirable rule
for dispatching business will clear it up.
The first week of the court was devoted to
the civil docket, and ti.e somewhat celebra
ted cass of F. G. Arnett vsC. J. Munnerlyn,
Sr., occupied considerable time. This ac
tion was to fore close two mortgages on the
lands ofdefeudent for the sum of $ ti,250,00,
with interest from December, 1867. The
defendent filed a plea of bankiuptcy, setting
up a Homestead on the part of the lands set
apart in bankruptcy. The children of de.
fendent having filed a plea against the fore
closure on one half the land A asked an ac
count from their father for waste, and pray
ing that that half of the land owned and
mortgaged to Arnett be charged with the
payment of any amount found due them,
and that a lien be decreed them for its pay
ment, superior to Arnett’s. The Jury de
creed that one-half the land belonged to the
children, but the other half was subject to
Arnett’s mortgage. The complainants are
moving for a new trial. A number of other
cases were determined.
The past week was occupied with crimi
nal docket. The following leading cases we
mention.
State vs J B. Wooten, charge forgery.
Found guilty and sentenced to ten years
in the Penitentiary.
Clarisy Archer, col., charge assault with
intent to murder. Fouud guilty, and goes
to Penitentiary for ten years.
Chany Archer, colored, charge assault
and battery. Found guilty and sentenced
to the county jail for three months.
Franklin Yawn, charge larceny. GttiPy,
and fined $150 or 12 months in chain.gang.
Personal.
We inadvertently failed to acknowledge
a visit last wpek from our young friend
Edwin M. Hampton, formerly of this city,
but for the past year or two a resident of
Cedar Keys, Florida, and local editor of
the State Journal. Mr. Hampton is on a
visit to bis parents in our city. He in
forms us that he will very soon begin the
publication of a weekly paper in Gaines
ville, to be called the Times, and which
will be Democratic in sentiment. We
wish our friend that success in his new
enterprise, which his high order of talent
and general cleverness so justly merit.

Journal, dropped in on us while on his

The Last Game-
Next Thursday afternoon, the 25th j
inst., at 44 o’clock, the “Stars" of this city
will play their last practice game before
their departure for the Thomasville Fair,
at which place they play a match with
the “Souiliwestet%s,” of that city. The
full nine will be out and play in their reg
ular positions, as follows:
J. R. Graves, Captain—2nd Base
M. 8. Whiteley—Short Stop.
S. H. Ray—Pitch.
Julian Wooten—Catch.
A. L. Townsend—1st Base, —
B. L. Griffin—3rd Base.
B. A. Beach—Left field.
U. J. Williams—Centre field.
J. D. Ponder—Right field.
The public generally is invited to wit
ness the game, and especially are the la
dies requested to be present, for whom
comfortable seats will be provided. The
game will be between the “Stars” and a
picked nine from the citizens, the latter
being allowed the odds of six “outs.” It
promises to be a lively game. Be on
hand early.
Sad Death.
We are pained to announce the death,
on Thursday afternoon last, of Samuel C.
Borum, son of V. M. Borum, Esq., of
this city, in the 16th year of his age. On
the Saturday previous, Sammy was kick
ed in the stomach by a mule, at the plan
tation of Mr. Brennan across the river.
At the time it was supposed he was not
seriously injured, but on the next day
(Sunday) took to his bed and died on
Thursday, suffering very much indeed m
the interim. Sammy was a clever bey,
and his quiet, unassuming and courteous
nature had won for him many warm
friends in this city where he was well
known. The stricken parents have the
earnest sympathy of the entire communi
ty in their sad affliction.
A Card.
Various reports having come to my
ears, that I made indecorous remarks in
regard to the late excursion from Bain-
bridge to Apalachicola on the Steamer
Big Foot, which is alleged as having
prevented certain parties from joining
said Excursion, I deem it just to myself
and the public, especially to those who
took part in the excursion to state: that I
remarked to a friend in Jackson county.
Fla., that owing to the extensive advertis
ing of the Excursion it was more than
probable that the boat would be too much
crowded to make it comfortable for our j
ladies, and that it would in all probability I
be a somewhat mixed crowd, as most of j
all general excursions are. All other re- ,
ports, insinuations, or allegations to the i
contrary I pronounce infamous and un* I
qualified lie?. Gto. S DrckeTSOT.

Popularity-
It is a self-evident fact that unless a per-
possesses sterling worth he will not have the
esteem of his fellow men. It is true, that
for a time he may deceive, but eventually
his faults will be exposed.
This is applicable also to articles recom-
mfmled to the confidence of purchasers.
For a brief period by false commendations
and glittering exterior, they impose on the
people, but as soon as tested they are cast
aside. The test of ten years has proven the
instlnsic worth of Dr. Tutt’s Hair Dye,
and to-day no preparation enjoys greater
popularity. From year to year the demand
for it has inceased, and now it is in general
use both in this and foreign countries. No
stronger proof of its value could given.
