for this hot weather: A creditor should

debtor would be on the hands of the
credit! r and he would lose his bill

An exchange horridly remarks: “The

clasps, four of which go around the waist.
It will be difficult, however, to improve
upon tbe old style of belt, which is made
in the shape of a coat sleeve and has an
arm inside, of it. We have observed,
however, that this kind usually requires
more than four clasps."
LEASE 07 THE BIG FOOT.
Only One line of Boats on the River
Tbe Central Line has leased the Big
Foot for four years, and, as a consequence,
competition on our rivers, in the way of
freights and passage, has ended. While
we truly and sincerely regret the circum
stances which led to th» action on tbe
part of the owners of the Big Foot, at the
same time we recognize the necessity
which compelled it and do not blame
them in the least. Those who should have
dons so, failed to give to the Beat patron
age sufficient to sustain her, and of course
her owners would be acting contrary to
their own interests if they continued to
run their Boat with no encouragement
from the people and at a dead expense to
themselves. Especially was this the case
with Bainbridge. The people here grotel
and grumble about the extortions of
monopoly line,but when opposition comes
on the river they fail to support it. We
are sorry this is true, but true it is.
The Columbus Timet, in speaking of
tbe change, says: “For the good, and
the advaocemeent of Columbus we re
joiced when the Big Foot came into the
Chattahoocnee, not because we had any
thing against the Central Line, that they
had a monopoly, but because we then
believed, and still think Columbus should
not be entirely at the mercy of a monopo
ly, no matter who owns or controls it.
That monopoly may be our friends and
work in our interest and be even
cleverer than the Central Line of boats
have always been, but the feeling of entire
dependence upon the will of any ona line,
made Columbus uneasy and very properly
so. Columbus needs another outlet and
the river is the only chance. We are too
poor to build more railroads, but we can
afford to sustain men who bring their ves
sels to our doors and ask for freight. The
Big Foot did that and was very well sus
tained, and in the winter would have
reaped the benefit resulting from her hard
struggle lost spring. But men are oblig
ed to consult their interests, and so it is
that to-day we regret to say the Big Foot
has consolidated with the Central. Here
after the Big Foot will ply the river, but
under the Central Line’s flag. There is
some arrangement by which the Central
will run the Big Foot and have control
over her, regulating freight, appointing
officers, Ac., but have not bought the craft
entirely. She still belongs to Dickersou
& Williams, but the Central runs her.
We say we regret this, and we do on
account of the reasons given above. It
again restores to the Central Railroad ab
solute dominion over Columbus. We
again belong to the Central with no pres
ent prospect of having competing masters.
The rate of freight has been advanced to
the same price, as before the Big Foot en
tered competion. The Big Foot led the
Central a merry race while she was “in
dependent” and to such an extent the
Central found it necessary to control her.
The Excursion.
Wc are not likely to have any more ex
cursions soon on the river, and everybody
had better save up their dimes and go on
the excursion to Florida on the 14th inst.
Having had numerous inquiries address
ed to us in regard to the trip, schedule,
time, &c., we will give as far as able the
full particulars.- The excursionists from
this point will take the regular passenger
train leaving this city at 4:30 o’clock on
the afternoon of Monday, 14th, arriving
in Jacksonville on next (Tuesday) morn
ing at 10 o’clock. They will then remain
in Jacksonville all day Tuesday and night,
an 1 early Wednesday morning will take
steamer (those who desire) for up the
river. Those who prefer it will leave the
river atTocoi, 49 miles from Jacksonville,
and take train for St. Augustine, where
they will arrive about 3 o’clock, P. m.
Those who prefer the other route will
continue on the river up to Palatka, 75
miles from Jacksonville. The party will
then remain in St. Augustine from 3
o’clock Wednesday until Thursday morn
ing, when the return trip will be com
menced, arriving at Jacksonville Thurs
day at 2 o’clock, making close connection
with train leaving for home, and arriving
in Bainbridge Friday morning. Those
who wish to go to Jacksonville only, will
have from Tuesday morning to Thursday
afternoon to remain there. Those wish
ing to visit other portions of Florida, will
make connection at Baldwin with trains
for Fernandina, Gainesville and Cedar
Keys.
It will be a truly delightful trip, and
we advise all who can c inveniemly do so
to attend. A simple view of the St.
Jobus, tbe most wonderful river in the
world, will amply repay for your trouble
and expense.
The Ninth Bay of Ah.
Last Sunday, July 30th was, according
to the Jewish calendar the ninth day of
tfa« month of Ab. The temple which had
been raised at Jerusalem to the service of
Jehovah waa destroyed twice on that day.
The first temple which was erected by
Solomon and consecrated in the year 1007
B. C., was destroyed by the Babylonians
in the year 586 B. C., and the second tem
ple which was built up about seventy
years later was destroyed by the Romans
in the year TO B. C. This day so event
ful in tbe Jewish history, is commemora
ted by Miting and by reciting “the la
mentations” of Jeremiah, and ether
hymns and poems which have been com
posed at later times by different authors.
Since the Israelites enjoy liberty of con
science and equality of citizenship in the
civilized countries, they have commenced
to consider the 9th day of Ab as a day of
triumph and glory for their race. For
from tbe time that their commonwealth
has been destroyed, and they have become
dispersed in the world without political
existence ior themselves, their mission
has been fulfilled to diffirag^ejtoowtedige
of God among men ;o /" tU
ed in their land isolated and distinct from
the rest of mankind this mission could not
be so successfully carried on. And the
spiritual life and activity is of higher sig
nificance to the Jew than a proud political
station in tbe world.
An Indignant Farmer
A farmer correspondent of an exchange
lets fly his wrath as follows.
“As I am somewhat of a reading man,
also of a very tender feeling, I wish
through your paper, to make a few re
marks which I hope will be the means of
letting the farmer have one day’s rest.
You never look at a paper but what some
editor, doctor, lawt er, mechanic, vaga
bond, loafer, nr something else, has a
column of advice for the farmer. If it is
a rainy day he must be in his shop stock
ing plows and hoes ; if a clear day must
plow, split rails, build fences, and burn
logs ; if cold, must cut and haul wood.
And so it is from day to day—the poor
fanner must toil and be dogged from
morn tn night by a set of town loafers
that do not know, or pretend not to know,
bow to plant n bill of peas. These smart
men, that load the farmer with so much
wholesome advice, will walk for miles
around town to find a -negro to plant a
row of beans or cut enough stovewood
for their wives to get dinner with, and
then pay him off with ‘much obliged to
you, or won’t you lake a drink.’
‘“Now in conclusion, I would say to
these men who ‘know so much about
farming,’ and preach so much and prac
tice so little, to try the boot on for about
four years, and I think the country will
be in a much better condition.”
The Bog Bays-
The much dreaded dog days are upon
us. According to an exchange, the term
was applied by the ancients to that period
of the year when Sirius, the brightest star
of the constellation, known as Canis Major,
rose and set with the sun in the latitude
of the Mediterranean. Owing to the pro
cession of the equinoxes that event now
occurs as late as the 10th of August. The
commencement of the Egyptian year was
formerly simultaneous with this astronom
ical epoch. There is considerable differ
ence between standard authorities as to
the beginning and end of dies eanieularet,
or dog days. The following are some of
the computations : From July 3 to Au
gust 11; from July 15 to August 20; from
July 14 to August 24; from the latter part
of July to the 1st of September.
Southern Expreu Company.
Mr. Graves being absent from the city,
Mr. James S. Russell will transact all bus
iness in connection with the Southern
Express Company. Those having busi
ness with the Company, will call on Mr.
Russell at the store of Wm. Warfield.
The New Postal Rates-
The new postal V»wH: l\»w jn force. It
provides for these* in. that osgglettqewa-
papers affthhagrauis- ‘‘-'ooagl,? .Fmaiis
at the rate of one cent'HW^everpS?loonn-

any article of the third class mail matter
(merchandise, transient newspapers, &c.J
may write his or her name or add*s9s
therein, or on the outside thereof; with
the word “from” above or preceding the
same, or may write, briefly, or print on
any package, the number and names of
the articles inclosed. Publishers of news
papers and periodicals may print on tbe
wrappers and newspapers and magazines
sent from the office of publication to reg

dresses upon postal cards and unsealed
circulars may be either written, printed,
or affixed thereto, at the option of the
sender.
On unsealed circulars, and all mailable
matter of tbe third class, other than
that designated above, postage will be
charged as heretofore—one cent for each
ounce or fraction thereof.
R. H. WHITELE7.
Will lie be a Caadidate for Congress.
Tbe Republicans bold their convention
in Thomasville next Wednesday, tbe 9th
inst., at which time a candidate for Con
gress will be put out. In view of the fact
that nearly everybody supposea Maj. R
H. Whiteley, of this city, to be the com
ing man, we made it a point to have a few
minutes conversation on the subject with
that gentleman.
He says he is making no effort for the
nomination, but if it be tendered him will
make the race, and expreaaes the belief
that h» can be successful In answer to
the question If there are other aspirants,
he replied he did rot know positively,
but supposed there would be.
The only thing that raised doubts in
our mind that Mr. Whiteley would be a
candidate, was the report that be had de
clined to allow his name used. These
doubts dispelled by his own words, the
Democrus may put him down as their
opponent, for notwithstanding Wade,
Putneyynnd perhaps others, sigh for tbe
“flesh pots of Egypt,” Whiteley is too
strong with Sambo to admit of his being
beat in the Convention.
Advertise Tour Lands.
In view of the fact that immigration to
Southwest Georgia may be looked for and
expected this Fall, would it not be a good
idea for those having lands which they
desire to sell to advertise them ? State in
a careful, concise and truthful way the
advantages, location and price oi your
lands, and advertise them in order
that those seeking homes in this section
may know where to turn to procure such
-ands and tenements as they desire to pur
chase.
The Democrat will be largely circula
ted this fall, both by means of the politi
cal campaign and through the agency of
the Immigration Society, and we will
make special contracts, at exceedingly low
rates, with those who wish to place their
lands upon the market.
Comity Commissioners.
Heretofore tbe Commissioners
county have been elected by the
but by an 8Ct of the last Legislator# it is
made tbe duty, in future, of tbe Judge of
the Superior Court to appoint them, which
will be done next January. The number
to be appointed is five, but the Ordinary
is not one, as heretofore.
We hope Judge Wright, upon whom
tbe present appointments will devolve,
may give us a good board, as the exigen
cies of the times sternly require that our
financies be controlled by intelligence,
virtue and ability.
Good Joke oa a Lawyer.
We have been told this good one on a
certain young sprig of the law in this city.
A gentleman met him on the street and
asked an opinion on some law question.
The young man of briefs and blanks re
plied that he generally gets paid for what
he knows. The gentleman who had pro
pounded the question drew forth a fifty
cents note, which he handed to the law
yer with the request to “tell me all you
know and give me the change.” There
like to have been an item.
Fashion Notes.
Tbe rivival of old materials is noticea
ble.
Belts and chatrlaines, more than ever,
for the convenience of carrying fans.
A novelty is black net, embroidered in
lines and dots of straw.
Long, slender waists are decidedly the
fashion of tbe day.
Black lace confections retain their place
for summer wear.
Tbe popular contrast in colors for both
bonnets and dresses at present is navy
blue and red.
Half socks for children.
At present polonaise are preferred to
tunics.
Scarfs ef India silk are draped as over
skirts.
Smyrna laces has taken the place of
clundy.
The crimson parasols from Paris are
adopted only in rare instances in Eng
land.
Dressing sacques and light skirts for
luncheon no longer shocks the most fas
tidious.
Tbe blouse differs from the polonaise in
that tbe bodice is made loose and confined
round the waist by a belt.
Linen wrape, Lisle thread gloves, Jap
anese fans, sun umbrellas, and fiat sponges
(filled with water) worn inside the hats,
are peculiarities of tbe toilets seen at the
Centennial Exhibition this month.
Worsted braids, with gold and silver
threads interwoven, and lace with colors
introduced, are worn as trimmings for fete
dresses
On some of the imported dresses pock
ets occupy the entire length of the skirt,
from the belt to the hem that borders it.
Jackets and Cardinal capes are the pop
ular shapes, but mantles and mantillas
8« the more stylish garments.
Gone to Atlanta.
The senior Editor of the Democrat left
for Atlanta Monday afternoon, being one
of the Gubernatorial delegates from this
county. The other members of the dele
gation in attendance are Capt. C. G.
Campbell, W. H. Crawford, Esq., and
Dr. E. J. Morgan. We are unable to in
timate the choice of the delegation for
Governor, but learn that the delegates
consider themselves uninstructed since
the withdrawal of Col. Hardeman.
Week of Prayer-
The Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, at the last session of their
Conference, appointed a Week of Prayer,
to be observed by the entire connection,
and which beg 5 ns to-morrow, Friday, Au
gust 3rd. We trust this religious abserv-
ance may be sacredly carried out in this
community.
Caterpillar*.
Col. Dan. McGill informs us that the
much dreaded catterpillar has appeared in
force, in his cotton fields a few miles
south of this city. The Co!, says his
overseer, Mr. Dalton, who is an experi
enced farmer, predicts that the worms
will sweep this section. We trust Mr. D.
may be mistaken.
Notice City Tax Payers-
Tbe Tax Books of the corporation of
Bainbridge are now open and will remain
open lentil the first of August, at which
time they will positively be closed. All
owners or agents of personal property
subject to taxation under the ordinances
of the city, are hereby notified to come
forward and make a return of all { roper*
ty owned or controlled by them on the
first day of April last past.
Persons failing to make their returns
are liable to be double taxed.

The Excursion to Jacksonville.
In another column will be found the ad
vertised schedule of the •xcureidh to Florida,
which takes place on Monday tbe 14th of
August. It will be seen that parties going
from this point will leave on Monday, re
turning on Friday, and that the flare for the
ronnd trip has been put at the low price of
$5, thus placing it within reach of ah to
avail themselves of this truly delightful
trip.
These 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.

Addresa of Kaaton O’Neal. Esq-,
Chairman County Executive Coat*
nitee
Baixbbidoe, Ga., August 2d, 1876,
To the Democratic and Conservative party of
Decatur County.—
FstLow Citixzxs: By resolution of your
Executive Committee it has been made my
duty as Chairman of said Committee, to
address you on this occasion. The time is
fhst approaching when we most place before
the people our candidates for the Legislature,
as well as county officers. To that end, each
member of the Executive Committee, in the
several Districts in the county, will call
meeting of the Democratic and Conservative
voters of said Districts to assemble at their
respective precincts, and select three dele
gates to represent said District in the nomi
sating convention, to be held in Bainbridge
on Wednesday the 6th day of September
next. 1 would here suggest that fifteen or
twenty days notice be given before the time
of meeting, in order thaf the voters of the
whole District may be informed of the time
and place ot meeting. And the Committee
would also urge upon every voter the im
portance of attending those primary meet
ings, and to select true and capable men to
make nominations for the several high and
important offices in your couuty, for in
these primary assemblies lie the power of
the people. We do earnestly request every
voter to come out and exercise the authority
guaranteed to him in these conventions.
The Executive Committee also desire snd
request the several Districts to organise one
or mote Campaign Clubs, on or before the
4*h Saturday in August, and to furnish the
Chairman of this Committee with s full list
of the officers of the same, and their respec
tive post office addresses
The Executive Committee directs me as
Chairman to urge upon the people, and
especially ths voters of tho county, the
great importance of taking our home or
county newspaper, the Bainbridux Dxmo-
ckat. It is a channel of information to the
people on all county affairs, as well as State
and national politics. The Democrat labor-
ed zealously and with great effect in our
last campaign, and there is no doubt but our
unprecedented success as a party in this
county and Congressional District was in no
small degree affected by the repeated as
saults and blows, skillfully directed, by the
Dimocrat against our opponents. Several
hundred copies of the Democrat were dis
tributed in 1874, partly at the expense of
the Central Democratic Club of Bainbridge,
and gratis by the Editor. Ben E. Russell,
throughout our county. The Executive
Committee earnestly request that the sever
al Clubs in the connty take this matter
specially in charge, and procure as many
subscribers for the Democrat as possible,
and where parties are unable to pay for the
paper, each club should make up a small
fund to furnish it to them, at least during
the campaign. By this means the Drxocrat
Will be distributed broadcast throughout the
county, and while this wiU sustain our
home paper, it will at the samflKime have a
telling effect for good in the coming elec
tions.
I find by reference to the Tax Digest for
1876 for this county, that there are 1146
white polls, 1084 colored polls returned,
showing 61 more white than colored voters.
Of course this does not represent truly all
the voters in the county, but it is a pretty
correct approximation to the true numbers.
The census of 1870 show that the white peo
pie in this county were in the majority at
that time about one hundred, and it is
believed by some of our most intelligent citi
zens that more of the colored people have
emigrated from tbe county than of the whites
since that date. This being tru«, and the
fact that the Republican party in this coun
ty look, I may say, almost wholly to the
colored race for their strength and support,
should we not be encouraged at the outlook?
Yes; at a fair prospect of success at our elec
tions this fall. Then let us rally ths Demo
cratic and Conservative h osts of our
county around our standard—
the standard of Reform, Economy
and Retrenchment—the standard that has
emblazoned on its folds—equal and exact Jus
tice to all—Injury to none. To do this let us
not enter the campaign with the extre
mists argument, the fiery abuse of our oppo
nents, nor with tbe language of the “milk
and eider” politician, but with bold decla
rations of right and justice let us deal with
facts. We have enough of them.
As “eternal vigilance is the price of liher-
ty,”so are unity, harmony and activity the
only guarantees of political success. Let us,
beyond all things, have unity and harmony
in our ranks—forget whatever of dissatisfac
tion may have heretofore marred our feel
ings or relaxed our patriotic efforts, and now
push forward in one common cause for the
good of our country ; and as a party, with
that activity that guarantees success, arise
as ore mas, on the day of election, and tri
umphantly bear our candidates into office.
And now, in conclusion, as tbe party of
progress in securing reform, retrenchment
and economy in the administration of gov-
eminent and the ultimate redemption and
prosperity of the country, we earnestly in
vite all persons of whatever nationality, race,
or former political creed, who are willing to
conform to the principles of the Democratic
and Conservative party, to allign themselves
with us in oar patriotic efforts to obtain
good government, and we will hail their
advent with pleasure, and guarantee them
a cordial reception.
Respectfully

Old Age is Honorable.
This is Irue. but how few of us like to
look old. Age, with its gre’’ hairs is nevtr
welcome, and the various arts have been
brought into requisition to hide its ravages.
In too many instance agents are used for
that purpose, which inflict serious injury on
the constitution. Especially is this the
ease with a large majority of the Hair Dyes
of the present day. For an elegant prepa
ration that will impart a perfectly natural
color, without doing the least harm to the
hair or health we recommend that made by
Dr Tutt, of New Xork. It possesses quali
ties that no other Hair Dye does, and as its
analysis proves is as innocent as mountain
spring water. july-27-2t
