The Sharon Home-

Hotel in Southwestern Georgia is the Shar

is manager and proprietor. The^uiiding is
large and commodious, rooms nicely furnish

supplied with every luxury afforded by the
market. The fall and winter season will
soon be op;n, then in addition to ^he al
ready capital bill of fare, he will have the
delicious Apaiachicala fish and oysters.
Visitors from the North can get board at
Sharon-s at a very low rate, for he is mak
ing special arrangement for their accommo
dation and pojnfort. Those who were with
him last yipter were delighted with their
treatment.
The Sharon House is deservedly popular,

Sens of Hobo Bamor’i Pranks
We are permitted to copy the following
note from a gentleman in Quincy to a friend
in this city .-
Qcixcr, Fi.i., Sept. 6th 1876.
Dear Frtfiui Isadore:
Reports are here that yellow fever is in
Bainbridge. If so. come over at once and
stay with me. Any how answer whether it
is so, as I want to go over next Sunday.
Truly yours,
A. Ottikoer.
It is something altogether impossible
fqr us to divine bow tucb rumors and re
ports acquire circulation, especially when
we consider how utterly groundless they
aye. There is no yellow fever in Bain
bridge, and, what is more, the city was
never in a purer or more healthy condi
tion. Physicians report that there is
scarcely any sickqess at ftU in town, and
none anticipated, as every precaution has
been taken (hat could possibly be sugges
ted by our health guardians. '
Since writing the above we have been
handed the following extract from the
minutes of the last meeting qf the Board
of Health of this county :
Resohea ; That in consideration of the ex
cited state of the public mind wiffi regard to
probabilities of yellow fever in our midst
this fall, by reason of its presence now in the
city ijf Savannah, the Board of Health for
the county of Decatur deem it expedient to
promulgate Clio pleasing fact that the health
of the city of Bainbridge and surrouuding
country could not be better, but urge upon
the proper authorities the strictest measures
of hiegenie and sanitary regulations for the
promotion of good health in our city and
county.

last reports of the Ken'S. To day wc fail
ed to receive tjie Savannah paper at ail,
but we give the rep ot furnished by Tqps-
day’^paper, which placed the deaths at
17 on Monday, and 41 new cases. Dis
patches from Savannah report 03 new
cases Tuesday and 80 yesterday, which
show i.rj iperoase of the fever, 'f’lie gene
ral verdict is, however, that the disease is
of an extremely mild type, yields readily
to treatment, and the njqjtajity com
paratively small.
The fevej appeared first op tlje Stef
August, but was not generally known
until about the 30th. There have been up
to date, as near as we can calculate, abopt
400 cases and 75 or 8(1 dsa;Us ;
It is estimated that ten or eleven thous
and people have left Savannah, and we
learn they are still leaving as rapidly as
possible. Some excitement prevails in
this section and fears exist that tjje disease
may spread into the interior. As far as
our own observations extend we think no
such fear§ need be entertained. This sec
tion is in a healthy and sound condUiqp,
and is almost entirely without that pecu
liar character of malarial qqmplaints
usually prevalent, duripg this season of the
year. There are no indications whatever
of a general malarious condition of the
atmosphere, and we are not, therefore,
prepared to believe there is any danger of
the disease gaining a foothold in our city
or section. We also believe that the
trouble in Savannah, being traceable to
some immediate local cause, the operation
of which may- stop with a change in me
teorological conditions, may cease at apy
time. At least, we hope and pray that
this may be the case.
In the meantinje, we caution our people
against allowing any causes to exist in and
around theirprepiiscs which might produce
sickness. We are directly in the midst
of the sickly season, and too much caie
cannot be taken.

The Cotton Crop,
We believe it to be generally eqnpgjicd
that Decatur county will gather a good
average crop of cotton, though from
various causes there will be a very large
falling off of what jvas confidently expect-
eu 5lx weeks ago. In some portions of
the county the - cattcrpillar has effected
some little damage, but the oTeatest Jurm
is from rust. Notwithstanding these £ncts
however, there will be nearly as nq 110 * 1
cotton gathered in the cojmty as for any
year in the last five, apd fhis too ip the
face of the fact that the acreage planned is
a great deal less than heretofore.
