No one can deny that we are f ossessed j
of ample evidence of the tide of immigra- !
tion which has set in towards the South. 1
With a view to furnishing our people— !
our thinking people—with some little I
“food for thought,” we copy the follow- ;
ing article from that most excellent pa- j
per, the Florida Sere Yorker. It will be !
found brim full of suggestions to our peo
| pie, and replete with good, hard sense
I ideas :
It is said that “it is an ill wind that
i blows no one any good." Throughout the
j world the good fortune of the few is at
■ the expense of the many. America lias
• been benefited by the devastating wars in
! Europe, and should there be an outbreak
j now, as some predict, there would be a
j stimulus to trade in tiiis country. The
| hard times at the North may be said to be
the means of benefiting the South, provi
ded the Southern people avail themselves
of the opportunities opened to them.
They can profit by the misfortunes af the
Northern people and at the same time
ameliorate them. The great cause of the
hard times at the North, is that there is
too much of everything, even money,
though it is in the bands of the few.
There has been too much production, too
much concentration of population. There
are too many people to be accommodated.
While the demand for services and oppor
tunities for men of small means to engage
in business 'with safety are so slight that
few people can obtain decent incomes,
the cost of respectable living is still
liigher. The South, on the other hand,
has not enough of labor, capital, or popu
lation. There the abundant vacant lands
can furnish cheap homes so that people
with a small start can look forward with
hope to be at a future day in independent
circumstances, at least. Capital is perhaps
the most, but not the only essential to the
inauguration of a new era of prosperity at
the Snuth. Emigration and industry
combined with frugality are very neces
sary auxiliaries. To draw capital to tlie
South there must not only be inducements
of profits offered, but guaranties against
losses as far as is possible to give them.
In selecting capitalists, too often an error
is committed by going to the solid men
who are possessed of colossal fortunes.
The West has suffered in consequence of
the control of her railways being in the
hands of heavy Eastern capitalists who
operate them, manipulate the stock, es
tablish rates and manage them for their
own ends, without regard to tlie welfare
of people along the route, or the patrons
of the road. The South wants capitalists
who will make that section their home
and identify themselves with her interests.
The capital should be invested in enter
prises that will give employment to arti
sans, and laborers of every kind. Her
mineral beds should be dug into, and the
treasures buried therein should bo un
earthed. Then they should be wrought
into material and implements of civiliza
tion at home. Give but a certainty of a
home and a living and the working peo
ple will rush by the thousands to the
South to augment her population and
thereby give her an equal p tsition iu the
Union with the other sections. The vast
areas of uninhabited lands that now can
not he sold for taxes, can be occupied and
utilized by a thVifty people. Southern
laud-owuers should have agents to inter
view the emigrants who are returning to
the old country with the savings of their
industry and frugality. A few thousand
of these people induced to turn their
route to the South would give an impetus
to a large emigration from Europe that
would flow there for years as it has flow
ed into the West, which can no longer
ageommadate it. The South can, but the
people abroad must be taught to believe
it. The Southern people must do that
teaching. Afterwards those who come
will become their assistants, With a cur
rent of emigration thus set flowing South
ward, capitalists will eagerly seek invest
ments there. Tlie credit of the South
stands higher to-day than that of the
West. The Southern people have not
engaged in bonanza schemes or balloon
enterprises, nor have the Wall street
originators of such organizations gone
thither to operate. Northern people have
a feeling of trust and confidence in the
South. Their neglect to appreciate her
advantage has been because money could
lie made faster, apparently, elsewhere;
and the ruling passion at the North has
been to get rich at once, not by patient
toil and economy, but by speculation.
The South does not present opportunities
for that method. But she certainly offers
better facilities for rewarding the indus
trious settlers with a home and compara
tive independence, and to capitalists who
remove thither, inducements which the
North offers to neither, nor is likely to
for a long time to come.
Mitchell County Jottings.
Last week I left this city of “innocence
and ease” for the pretty village of Camil
la. Along my route through the country
the corn crop appeared excellent. More
than was pleasant to look at had suffered
for want of proper cultivation. The cot
ton is suffering from rust sadly. Farmers
are busily engaged pulling fodder, but
there has been too much rain for the bus
iness, and they will lose a goodly portion
of it—at least a third.
Reached Camilla in good season and
camped at the Metcalf in time for a good
dinner. Got it. Went out and inter
viewed Editor Brown, of the Enterprise.
He was so “pious” could not stay •with
him long. Ministers take him around
now and exhibit him as a perfect model
of piety. What’s the world coming to ?
A rep' wauted.
County Court met there Thursday,
Judge E. II. Baton presiding, James Cal
loway, Solicitor John W. Pierce, the

Business was dispatched by liis Honor in
a highly creditable and rapid way, and in
which he was aided promptly by officers
and bar. *
On Friday evening, seven miles west of
Camilla, a Mr. Beck shot and killed his
tenant, a Air. Ainaran. The difficulty oc
curred about their planting interests. The
deceased left a wife and several small
children, and was comparatively a stran
ger.
Base ball and croquet occupies the stea
dy attention of the CmiiUnites. At the
latter game, when sober evening comes,
crowds of pretty girls engage. Went to
see them. Now I am a “profound phi
losopher,” can see clearly through any
subject that ordinary minds study but
half way, but there is a mystery about the
manner that these fashionable beauties
play this tiresome game that passeth my
understanding. How they can in open
defiance of their pin-backs ease down and
pick up tlie froHcksome ball, and place it
under their dainty pretty foot, is a prob
lem 1 eannot v ork out.

Advertise Yotir 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
v desire to sell to advertise them ? State in
j a careful, concise and truthful way the
j advantages, location and price of your
I lands,'*, and advertise them in order
| that those-peeking homes in this section
I may know ivfrgre to turn to procure such
ands and tenemtyjts as they desire to pur-
i chase. . \

i ted this fall, both by m^ns of the politi-
i cal campaign and througnTiig agency of

rates, with those who wish to place theiF-i
lands upon the market.
Civil Rights on our River-
The Columbus Enquirer flings another
grist into the “bloody shirt” mill, as fol
lows : On the last trip of the steamer
Wylly three sailors took passage at Apa
lachicola, one of whom was a negro- The
negro paid full fare, and was assigned
quarters in that portion of the boat con
structed for servants. Shortly after leav
ing Apilaciiicola, and dinner was announc
ed, this negro took his seat at the first ta
Ids with the whites, contrary to all cus
tom and precedent. He was requested to
leave and wait his turn. He refused, sta
ting lie had paid full fare and meant to
have all the rights others did. He was a
big, greasy black fellow. Mr. Walter
Fry, clerk of the boat, happened along
about that time and ordered him up. Tlie
negro made the same plea, when Air. Fry
grabbed a knife, caught the negro by the
ear and led him away. Cuffce did not re
sist or make any demur, but simply called
ou jus fellow sailors, the white men, to
notice how he was treated, and remember
it wlien they were called ou to testify in
the courts. lie did not try to get to that
first table again. lie seems to have come
on board to make this a test case, tore-
port trouble, and his ear has doubtless
felt the effects.
Georgia and Alabama Coming to
Florida-
The proposed “excursion movement”
from Southwest Georgia and Alabama to
this State, is one to which considerable
importance sliou.d be attached. It ex
tends to Montgomery and Eufaula, and
as high up as Columbus,'Georgia.
Special trains will leave Bainbridge and
Albany, Ga. or. Monday, August 14th, to
visit our metropolis and the St. John’s
thus placing it within reach of all to
'nil themselves of this truly delightful
trip.
Those who do go will never regret it, for
we know of no pleasanter excursion than this
•rill be. AVe hope to see a good crowd from
SainhrHce.

L- J- Guilmartin & Co-
We direct special attention the card
of this Savannah firm. It is one of the
best in the South, and we trust that the
people of Decatur will bestow upon
them a liberal share of their patronage.
The fare for tlie round trip from Bain
bridge, Ga., to Jacksonville, Fla., is six
dollars, and to St. Augustine and return
to Bainbridge, ten dollars. From Albany,
Ga., round trip to Jacksonville, is ten
dollars, and to St. Augustine and return
'to Albany," Ga., fourteen dollars.
These figures are so very low that our
neighbors "from the Empire State can all
affom to pay us a visit. And when we
add that the Transit Railroad, running
from Fernandida to Cedar Keys, tenders
the cordial courtesies of that line to any
of the excursionists who desire to look at
the splendid country, so rapidly settling
up along the line of railway, it is probable
there will be a large crowd from Bain
bridge, Albany, Thomasville, Quitman,
Valdosta, and from Montgomery and
Eufaula. Alabama. It is said that the
larger proportion of these excursionists
are men of money from the bordering
States of Georgia and Alabama, who are
making this trip with a view of looking
out homes in our prosperous State.
Air. J. AY. Craig, of the Atlantic & Gulf
R. R. has so completely systematized and
planned the trip as to make it impossible
there should be a “hitch” anywhere in
the whole route. He will visit all the
towns along the A. & G. R. R.iiext week,
and, in ord;r to prepare his tourists for
what they will see in Florida, and the
hospitable treatment which they may
expect from oui people, he has induced
Col. J. B. Oliver, Alanaging Editor of the
Florida New Yorker, to accompany him
and deliver a lecture upon ‘Hoivtoinduee
Iminigratipn to the South.’ Col. O. was
our late State Fair Secretary, and our
Georgia friends will no doubt be enter
tained and instructed by his lectures.
The appointments are as follows: At
the Court House, Valdosta, Monday,
August 7lh, at II o'clock; at the Court
House, Quitman. Tuesday, August 8th,
at 11 o'clock, at the Court House, Bain
bridge, August 9th, at 11 o'clock; at tlie
Court House, Thomasville, August 10th,
at 11 o’clock; at the Court House, Albany,
• Friday 11th, at 11 o’clock.
"It f-jJjffPed that our citizens will see the
importance large excureion of in
tending settlers. -Jacksonville and St.
Augustine are especially m'cfested m this
movement; and the 'flourishing”towns
between Fernandina and Cedar Keys eaH-
with proper effort, induce a large number’
to go that way. Let us all do everything
in our power to make the visit of oar
Georgia and Alabama friends enjoyable.

Fashion Notes
Flower*, landscapes and birds are subjects
always fast ionable as designs for fans.
Fans bearing Watteau scenes are quite out
of date in Baris.
Scarf bandeaux on hats have suddenly
come in vogue.
An effort is being made to revive the fan
cy straws of 1840.
Silver ornaments are very fashionable this
summer.
Tunics with sleeveless jackets are worn
longer than last year.
For dressy occasions fancy grenadines are
iu great demand.
• ndian shawls and Persian shawls are cut
up to make mantles for seaside wear.
Polonaises increase in variety and compli
cations.
English mohair makes a serviceable trav
elling dress.
Gold braid is more used for handsome
dresses than was expected.
Floral fringes for frinftning evening dress
es have met with success.
Batis’e and si'k are being mixed in one
costume this season.
Serge, especially white surge, is very pop
ular.
Stronge ornaments are made of scales and
claws, to be worn in velvet dit.dcms and
bows.
A hat with pointed crown, made of coarse
straw and called the “Celadon,” is a popu
lar shape for country wear.
Silver Byzantins chains of open pattern,
with a large cross suspended on them, are
much worn.
To be in style at preseut ladies are oblig
ed to appear extremely thin. Embonpoint
is altogether incompatible with fashions.
Bathing dresses are still made with blouse
and trousers, cut in one, of blue flannel,
with red or white trimmings.
For carriage ami evening wear in Pari*
red is much worn, also pale blue, but very-
little white ; cream color abounds and is
covered with gay embroidery’.
The most serviceable dress for traveling is
some kind of dust or brown colored bege of
French manufacture ; it wears and stands
rain best.
The tan of fans in Paris at the present
time is painted on kid, and has the sticks
quite plain on the right side and carved on
the left.
The newest novelty in the jewelry depart
ment is a set for the ears and throat made
of the very small features taken from the
colibri. These ornaments are very brilliant
and show lustrous flashes.
Simple travelling costumes are made of
Scotch gingham; their trimmings consist
of either plaitiDgs of the same or Smyrna
lace, and tlie mode is a polonaise worn over
a black silk skirt.

The Grand Secret of Beauty
Is health The secret of health is the power
to eat, digest and assimilate a proper quan
tity of wholesome, nutritious food. This
can never be done when the liver does not
act its part. It is the great driving wheel
in the mechanism of man, and when it is
out of order, the whole organization becomes
deranged, and fever, dyspepsia, sick head
ache, constipation, jaundice, bilous colic,
kidney disease and general debility eDsues.
To restore the normal functions of tli»liver
and impart that beauty, which always at
tends a healthy, robust constitution. Dr.
Tiitt's Veoetablk Liver Pills are conscien
tiously recommended. They are designed
solely for the disordered liver and the dis
ease which it produces. They are not a
cure-all, but in the cases mentioned they
rurelv ever fail to effect a cure.
