We have seen some brought iD and offer ed for sale. We learn also that Mr. L. O. Jackson has been grinding new corn at his mill. The style with the Bainbridge clerk now is to sell his “true-love” a calico dress and then have himself a coat made off the same piece of goods. This is a cracking good idea, and shows the enter prise of the average dry goods salesman. Selah ! Savannah News: “Miss Hallie Parsons, formerly of Bainbiidge, while on a visit to the fort at St. Augustine, where the Indian prisoners are confined, tried her hand at shooting a bow and arrow. At the very first, trial she plugged an Indian.” We always did admire the good sense of the Quitman Reporter.and such sensible remarks as these are what induce us to do so: “The Bainbridge Democrat will resume its former size this week. The Democrat did yeoman service in the last campaign, and we are glad to know that it is getting ready to run the same lively schedule ugain. The Democrat deserves a liberal patronage and hearty support, and the people of Bainbridge and Decatur county are not doing their duty if they do not sustain it. ’ An Interesting Correspondence on the Bubject- Hoboken, N. J. July 18,1876. To the Immigration Society, Bainbridge Georgia: I take the liberty of writing you thia letter, hoping you will give me the fol lowing information—namely, myself and family are thinking of emigrating South, with the expectation of making a home for ourselves in the future. - What would be my prospects and inducements in your locality, as to wages paid garden ers and farmers ? I have two boys, one 17, the other 15, also two girls, one 11,the other 7, with my mother, my wife being dead. I have had some 5 years experience in raising vegetables and farm crops in the vicinity of New York. I have good written references as to honesty, sobriety, industry, &c. Would owners of farms in your locality furnish respectable fami lies with farm or farms to work on shares, the owners also furnishing the renter a horse or team, with some tools, &c.,. that would be required to work the land-? - I have been offered the above terms””!?' I would emigrate to Texas, but I do not want to move so far from the Atlantic seaboard. If you can give me information to tbe above, or any other that you may think would be of benefit to a family emigrat ing to your State, I shall be very thankful to you for such information; also price of land, soil, health, schools, churches, mar kets, &c. Hoping to receive a reply, and that you will pardon me for troubling you for the same, I remain very respect fully your obedient servant, Fkedwick H. Smith. Hoboken,Hudson Co., New Jersey. Office Immigration Society. Bainbridge, Ga., July 24, 1876. Mr Fred wick II. Smith, Hoboken, N. J. Dear Sir:—We are pleased to receive your letter of inquiry, and to reply to it at once—believing, as we do, that this section of the South presents unusual ad vantages to emigrants from a Northern 'atitude. In order that the replies to your inqui ries may meet the eyes of othe’s, looking for Southern homes, we have taken the liberty of publishing your letter and tin- answer in our home paper, a copy of which we send you. Replying directly to your first inter rogatory we will state, that there is no gardening done in the immediate vicinity for market purposes, but facilities are good for shipment, both by river and rail, and this will in time become a business of much profit. Our people here have always grown “field crops,” and are slow to take hold of new sources of money; and your ex perience would be of vain*, if directed to the- wmwth of vegetables. afiMinily the size of yours,or one larger, could easily secure a home on a farm, either as tenants or renters, with horses and implements furnished if desired, this being the usual mode in which our lands are cultivated. You could with the aid of your sons run a one or two horse farm, cultivating fifty or sixty acres of land, which if planted in corn and cotton, would yield a gross ineotne of from eight hundred to one thousand dollars, with ordinary seasons, and in some instances much more may be realized with a diver sified crop with good management. Farming lands are quite cheap, ranging from two to four dollars per acre for fair average lands, the best not selling for more than five to eight dollars per acre, in quantities to suit purchasers,—upon good terms. We have a variety of se lls, tne light gray, level pinelands predominating. This is easily cleared and susceptible of high cultivation and irapnvement. We have, also, large acres of rolling clay lands, well watered by springs and creeks of purest water. Stock of all kinds do well with little care, and are quite profitable, particularly sheep and cattle, for which there is a ready and acccsable market. Almost any section presents fair ad vantages for schools and churches, and the State guarantees three months tuition free, by competent teacher?. The society is as good as is found in agricultural sections generally. The county is divided North and South by a navigable river, on which boats run daily, and the Rail Road due west from Savannah, Georgia, terminates at Bain bridge, the county site, thus giving the greatest facilities of transportation to emigrants from any direction. The healthfulness of the county is as good as is found in the South. During ;he months of July, August and Septem ber, in some sections, there is some prev alence of chills, not so severe though as is often witnessed on the Hudson and Delaware. In politics, the county is Democratic araoug the whites, and there is no ostra cism on account of political creed, and a Northern man is as safe in this section as he would be at Hoboken or New York. An authorized agent of a colony look ing for homes in our country, would be welcomed by our people generally, and the T mtnigration Society would take pleasure in showing him the country free of aU expense. We may add that lands may be bought in quantities to suit large or smal colonies, and conclude by saying—in proof of the desirableness of this country—that five hundred dollars in cash will secure a comfortable home in the most desirable communities. Very respectfully J. A. Betts, President Immigration Society Decatur Co., Georgia. Ben. E. Russell, Secretary. t Some Bainbridge Girls go on a Fo ray Against tbe Finny Tribe. Five Bainbridge young ladies, whose innate modesty we shall not outrage by mentldbing names, went on a fishing frol ic last Tuesday afternoon. They had two poles among the crowd, and each was rig ged ou*. in i light calico dress. They went down to the river near the old Barge Yard. As soon as they got to the river they looked for * good place to sit down, but finding the water too deep moved down stream a little where it was shallow, and where they could seg the lit tle fish swimming around. - ‘Oh„ I see one!” “Where?” “There!” “Oh, my, so he is ; lets catch him.” “Who’s got them baits ?” “Oh get off my pole.” “Sa rah please put this hook on for me,” were some of the expressions used, and in s tone calculated to frighten Bill Crawford’s horse at his front gate—provided the said horse bad been there. Then one of the ladies, a little braver than the rest, volunteered to put a worm on a hook. By an alraos' superhuman effort a “bait” was strung oat he hook, and then the “throw in” cofite with a splash like the launching of a wash tub. While this hook was being made reauy, the balance of the modern female Wal tons were crowding around in breathless anxiety awaiting the result. Then a sma 1 roach came along and nibbled the bait. They all saw it at once, and “jerk” sung out in a united chorus. The one holding the pole did as she was directed, and with such a “jerk” that the little fish would have landed in the neighborhood of the old College, only he didn't take hold good. Finally, however, one did swallow the bait, and the young lady pxclaimed “some thing’s got my hook !” Four voices re. peated the order to “jerk,” as they rush ed to the rescue. The girl with the “bite” gave a spasmodic pull, and tlic lutle fish was landed about forty feet up the hill. Then they all held up their skirts and gathered about that minnow, one all the time holding the line as if she had a mis chief-bent sir william goat fastened to it. They talked it over: “How’ll we get him off ?” “Ain’t he pretty.” “Poor little thing ; lets put it back.” “Good gracious ! I’m afraid of it.” They took a pair of scissors and cut off the line about a foot from the fish’s muoth. They tried for another “bite,” but the sun came down ami burnt their backs and necks, and, after having unanimously agreed that they all had headache, threw pway their poles and lines, went up the hill under the shade of a friendly tree where they sat down to lunch. They then disposed of enough light-bread, cold beef steak and hard boiled eggs to give a wood horse the night mare, after which they compared notes about their beaux until nearly sun down, when they slowly pro ceeded home and expressed themselves as having had a good time, but the river was too full and the fish wouldn’t bite. Immigration- We are in receipt of the following letter from Capt. J. Berrien Oliver. Genera; Agent of the Florida Land and Immigra tion Company. Capt. Oliveris well known in this county, once his home, and we are glad to learn he is taking a great practical interest in our affairs. New York, July 17th, 1876. My Dear Russell: With one of the most charming coun ties in the South, I know the good people of dear old Decatur are suffering many afflictions. You need more population with a plenty of cash. I believe X will send 50,000 good settlers to Florida and South West Georgia this winter. At my Florida Land Office 229 Broadway N. Y. city, throngs of people are daily telling me of their plans to “go South” in the Fall. And while I sell them large tracts of Florida lands, I never forget the great advantages that can r>e presented by good old mother, grand old Georgia. Through the Democrat, tell your people, for me, to get ready for the “flood” of people going South. The Florida New Yorker is doing a great work in this respect. Your old friend J. B. Oliver, Gen’l Ag’t Fla. Land Immigration Co. Bainbridge. A writer in the Tallahassee Floridian, who has been on a trip through our little city, and who we think is Judge H. C. Rippey, thus speaks of Bainbridge : “The Flint is a beautiful river up to Bainbridge, and steamers can navigate it at all seasons of the year. There are ex cellent lands along its banks, but in many places they overflow in very wet seasons. There are some fine locations on the river that can be had cheap, that magnificent farms could be made on. Bainbridge, fifty miles by river above Chattahoochee, is a delightful located place, on a high bluff, and is surrounded by a fine farming country. There are some nice public and private buildings, and the people are noted for their hospi tality and kindness. “We stopped there three hours, and I met many citizens, who all seemed very anxious to have a railroad corstructed from Eufaula via Bainbridge to Tallahas see. I am informed that the greater por tion of the road between Eufaula and Bainbridge is graded. It seems to me that the citizens along the proposed route ought to be doing everything in their pow er to have it constructed. Base Ball In answer to the challenge sent the Oc cidental club, of Quincy, by the Star Club, of this city, the former write that owing to the fact that some of their members can not get away, it will be impossible f^r them to come. We are sorry, as we wish ed to see these two club3 cross bats. A correspondence is now going on be tween the Stars and some other clubs, end we mw have a game yet. J [At the request of._the Star Base Ball Lciub, we copy the following communica tions from the Quincy Journal ofjthe 20tb inst Editors Democrat.] [Communication. ] Qcixct, Fla-, July 11th, 1878. Dear Sin: We beg that you will cor rect the statement made in the last issue of the Bainbridge Democrat, in regard to the Star Club challenging the Occiden tals to play them a match game of base ball on the 4th of July. In the first place no challenge has passed between tbe Stars and Occidentals this season. Mr. Graves, of the Stars, wrote Mr. Ray, of the Occi dentals, stating that the Stars would like to play us a game of ball on the 4th in Bainbridge. We accepted this round about invitation and made all necessary arrangements to play them on the 4th. Soon "after we had written our acceptance we received another communication from the Stars stating that the Thomasville club had challenged them and that they were forced to play them. We then gave up all idea o ’ playing the Stars on the 4th and extended an invitation to the Ward County Club, which was accepted. We then received a third communication from th° Stars stating "that if ice tcould come up to Bainbridge on. the 4th, that perhaps, they could get up a nine to play us.” While we are anxious to play the stars, we could not accept such an invitation even if we had not made arrangements to play the Ward County Club. If the Stars think the Occidentals reluctant in playing them let them challenge and be certain. OCCIDENTALS. Bainbridoe Ga., July 17, 1876. Editort Journal: In looking over the last number of your paper, I was both pained and surprised at the appearance of the above card, and I now respectfully ask tbe use of your col umns to reply, briefly, on the part of the Star Base Ball Club. I was pained because the communica tion exhibited more feeling—even though Us statements were entirely correct—than the case and its attending circumstances warranted. I was surprised, because the communication, I think, was altogether unnecessary and has served no good pur pose. But, gentlemen, we have no dispo sition, as a club or individuals, to enter into crimination or recrimination, and sincerely regret that the tone and temper of the above card forces in vindication of our acts as a club, and a party of gen tlemen, to enter here a protest against the inaccuracies used against us. The plain facts in the case are these : Mr. Graves, one of the members of our club, In a private letter to Mr. Ray, of the Occidentals, said that the Stars would like to play hi3 club. This was simply a statement from Mr. Graves to Mr. Ray as from one friend to another, which was not intended as a “challenge,” either di rect or “round about”—and indeed Mr. Graves nor any other individual member, has no right to extend a challenge for this club. A day or two after this letter was mailed, the Stars had a meeting and voted to challenge the Thomasville club. While we were awaiting an answer from Thom asville, Mr Graves received a letter from Mr. Ray, sayiDg that he had heard the Stars intended to challenge the Occiden tals ; that he hoped they would, as “the boys” were anxious to come ; he also sta ted that if the Stars Intended to play the Thomasville club he would come up, as he had to be here on the Fourth himself, and suggesting that the Stars invite Mr. Woodbery to play with them. (Mr. Ray is a member of this club.) Mr. Graves an swered this letter stating that we had al ready challenged the Thomasville cluo, and were awaiting an answer. The Thom asville club, after keeping us waiting un til a day or two before the Fourth, finally answered and declined to come. Then Mr. Graves, upon authority of the Club, telegraphed to Mr. Ray, stating that if the Occidentals would come up that pro bably we could get up a friendly game. This was not a challenge, but purely an invitation to our town and the festivities of the occasion—the reasons prompting it being that we heard that a part of the club would be here any way. There was no challenge passed from the Stars to the Occidentals, either formally orinforroerly, “round about” or otherwise, and there was no acceptance received from the Occi- cidentals by the Stars. The language of Mr. Ray’s 1 tter to Mr. Graves, (heretofore quoted) and which was received on Wednesday the 28th of June, five days before the Fourth, shows conclusively that there was no challenge, as he was preparing to play with the 9tars against the Thomasville club, and remark ing in the same letter that the Occidentals were expecting a challenge from the Stars. N«w, Messrs. Editors, these are the facts in connection with the affair, which, if it was necessary, we are peparei to prove. I now dismiss the whole matter, dis claiming for m self and club any feeling in the matter further than a desire to be truly and fairly represented. Very Respectfully and truly, R. M. JOHNSTON. President Star B. B. C. Col Wm. 0- Fleming. The Albany News, in speaking of Col. Fleming’s letter to that paper declining the use of his name as Elector for this District, which we publish to-day, pays the following handsome compliment to that gentleman : A sensible and patrioticletter from Col. Fleming, in which he decl : ne3 to allow the use of his name before to Atlanta Con vention as Elector, appears on our first page. Col.

Cabers One Hone Farming—Not Ironically. Speaking. Messrs. Editor*: ' Give me room to tell what I saw on \a recent visit to Mitchell county, of one horse farming, and also what I learn from the very best authority, of the same kind of farming in Decatur county. I give simply a statement of the crop and yield and estimated yield: Oats, 45 aerts plowed in last Ml and now gathered (made) 675 bushels; corn, 17 acres, estimated in field (made) 278 bushels; sugar cane, f acre (estimated)— 820 gallons; cotton, 21 acres (estimated) 10 bales; sweet potatoes, 8 acres (estimat ed) 500 bushels; ground peas—8 acres, estimated value, with run of field, in rais ing meat $200.00. The only manure used on the above crop was home-made, except a half ton of guano. The hands employed, two color ed boys at t2 50 for the two per month and their board. The Decatur county crop is as follows: (all estimated) Com, 10 acres, 40 bushels per acre, (made) 400 bushels; cotton, 10 ac es.bale to acre,10 bales; ground peas,10 acres, 500 bushels; 2} acres sugar cane, 25 barrels; 2) acres 3Weet potatoes, 500 bushels. The above crop is made with one mule and one regular hand—only a little extra labor—manure used, home made. The writer is not authorized to publish the names of the above farmers, but if any one should doubt the statement, you may give the name of the writer, and he will furnish the names of the farmers. If they should find the statement not correct after investigation, or seeing for them selves, then let them publish a denial of its truth. The money value of either crop, at current prices, would not be less than $18,00 00. It will be observed too that an estimate of the value of the garden, and the butter on these farms is omitted. How many in the county of Decatur has done as well? Won’t you invite them to speak out? Decatur. The Excursion to Jacksonville. In another column will be found the ad vertised schedule of the excursion to Florida, which takes place on Monday the 14th of August. It will be seen that parties going from this point will leave on Monday, re turning on Friday, and that the fare for the round trip has been put at the low price of §6, thus placing it within reach of all to avail themselves of this truly delightful trip. Those who do go will never regret it, for we know of no pleasanter excursion than this will be. We hope to see a good crowd from Bainbridge. ATTENTIONFARMERS I. M.
