We nil know now who’ll be our nett Governor. Remember we will take country pro duce in payment for subscriptions. Hon. W. M. Hammond, of Tbomas- ville, was in town Tuesday. Last Tuesday was sheriff's sale day. Not much property sold. Tl»e Democrat has been appointed the official organ of Miller county. The excursion to Jacksonville will be a nice affair. Some of our farmers are complaining of rust in their cotton. The delegates to the Gubernatorial Con vention left on Monday. Subscriptions are coming in pretty free ly. Roll ’em upr-let ’em come. Billy Wright will have a bale of cotton on the market in a few days. We hear of a new company being or ganized to put a Boat on our river. Labor and supplies being cheap, would this not be a good time to build and repair? We have several articles in hand rela tive to county matters, which go over to next week. The cattle business in this section is brisk. There are several shippers at this point. Tbe Cornet Band is making rapid im provement, and will soon be as good as the best. Mr. Charley Griffin is twenty-one years old, and celebrated his majority by a par ty one night last week. The Whigham base ball boys, so we learn, are coming up to test the metal of the Bainbridge ball-tossers. Mr. Randolph takes Mr. Graves' place as telegraph operator during the latter’s absence. Two merchants had a fight the other day, and Mayor Donalson fined them four dollars eneh. Read the patriotic address of Maston O’Neal, Esq., Chairman Democratic Exe cutive Committee. “Unity is strength.” Read the letter from the Camilla Enterprise, to be found in to-day’s Democrat. The Star Base Ball club is just spoiling for a game, but it seems the boys can't induce any club to tackle them. The editors of the Democrat are under special obligations to Mr. J. W. Craig, of •lie A. & G. R. R.,. for esteemed favors. Hon. I. A. Bush has been down in the lower part of this county for several days, lie reports “things lovely." Cattcrpillars reported in some portions of (lie county, and we learn the grasshop per tint-/appeared in Miller. We want Miller count} to scad in sub scriptions to the Democrat by the cart load. The question is now, who will be the Republican nominee for Senator? Brim- berry, Brockett Morton, or who? There are about twenty men in this couuty who have consented to accept the nomination for the Legislature. Let’s get up the Fair movement again. That is, let’s talk about it, and be ready when the time comes to begin operations. Some “horrid” man says that in the present style of dressing young ladies hair it is hard to tell which is switch. The Moore Brothers, of Thomasville, well known in this city, will make music for the excursion to Jacksonville on the 14th. Jim Graves left last night on the boat. He will take a month’s vacation among the hills of upper Georgia. Hope he may have a good time and safe return. Look out for Weil & Loeb’s new adver tisement next week. They are an enter prising firm—believe in printer’s ink and we believe in them. The firemen’s excursion is, to use a cant expression, “bursted.” Whitesides was written to, but didn't think it worth while to reply. The Quitman Reporter prints this fresh piece of news. “A hack is now being run regularly between Bainbridge and Quincy.” The farmers are busy now pulling fod der and picking cotton. Trade will fall off a little until they get time to come to town. What do our merchants say to getting up a pool on^he number of bales of cot ton that will hf received at Bainbridge this year ? It has been figured out that the average American is worth $350. It is therefore something to be an average man in this country. With watermelons at two for a nickel, and peacltes twenty-five cents a peck, there is no excuse for anyone not being sick. The Darien Gazette says: “The Bain bridge Democrat has enlarged and is one of the best weeklies in Georgia. The people of Decatur county should support it in the future more liberally than they have in the past.” An exchange throws out a timely hint for this hot weather: A creditor should not dun a man more than fourteen times to the hour, lest he finally get mad and over.lieated, and die of congestion of the brain. In which event tbe blood of the debtor would be on the hands of the credit! r and he would lose his bill besides. An exchange horridly remarks: “The new belt for ladies is said to be made in 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- ces er fraction thereof, and the sender of 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 ular subscribers, the time to whic’t sub scription thereof has been p rid ; and ad 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. Office at Weil & Loeb’s store: J. R. Hates, Clerk of Council. 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.

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 Masto* O’Neal Chairman Democratic Committee Decatur County. 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 Smith & Traub JJAVE JUST RE .'LIVED at their popular 1,000 bushels White Cora at 90 cents. 10 casks Races. 80 barrels Hour. 86 boxes Tobacco, direct from foetoriet he Virginia and North Carolina.
