£he (Quitman banner. QUITMAN. FHli) VI jJs'E I. 1866. LOCAL COLUMN. Town Improvements We are delighted to see ao many signs of pros perity and progress in Quitman. Messrs. Cul pepper, Creech and Tillman's brick store is now fairly under way. and will soon reach the pro portions of a superb building and ornament to the town Mr. T. Avery has a two-stori nl framed building, forty feet wide, nearly completed, on the main business street, which will also add to the beauty and industrial appearance of our vil lege. On another side of the square, Mr. Carnes has a handsome store nearly completed. In ad \itton to these we understand that Mr. James rYouh T about to commence building one or two largt two story business houses on the pub lic square; and that a brick store is also under ‘contra-1 and soon to be commenced, for Mr. \ fc>aai Hooker. Several buildings for residences are in process ' of construction, charming the citizens with the Ifcuaic of mechanism from morn till night, in all parts of our quiet little village: and now that *w* have two saw mills, and an extensive brick y and in full blast, wo hope progress will not ag*.in be checked for the want < f material Our Town Council too is keeping pace with these improvements, by substantial and orua mental work on the streets. JLrtnd nml Immigration Company L Again. r« Two \\ .-eks ago we Miggesied the importance of j' a Land and Immigration Company. | Brocks County: Since then a number of gen- Je-aien have signified their willingness, and read ■* to rater into such an organization, and only , wait for a movement to give * foi m and pressure” to the idea. It has b-eti suggested that a meet ■ ing of land ow ners, and others wishing to become members of the company, will be the first best t step to consider the matter, and that Monday, of | h Court week, will be the best time for such meet ing. It is therefore announced, that a meeting will be held on Monday «f Court week, to con sider the feasibility ami practical importance of •rganizing a company to furnish lands and induce emigration. Every man in the County is re kt j>ectfully invited to attend. Second Arrival of German La borers. 17 Through the Agencies of Mr. Thomas A. E. / vans, of Quitman, and Messrs. Wright, Carter, , Cos., of New Vork ten more Germans—** veil i .;n and three women have arrived in our vil lage. They were brought out for Messrs, l'adget ; Htaffoore and Mrs. Mclntosh. They are very gHwet, intelligent looking persons, and have ■ gone t > work with a zest that is really refresh log So fsir their employers are well pleased with their be’, avior, and we understand they are ; themselves quite cheerful and content ed. Many i are sending <>n for tliis class of laborers Sd we sincerely hope that all our people will; on see the»r true interest, and bring out enough i up *mppiy every branch of industry in the coun " A land and immigration company, such as ( >i, ggested for Brooks county, would secure the migration of ten or twenty thousand indus ® lous and intelligent Germans w ithin the next reive months. Me should like to see every runty in the State, and in the South move at once, and vigorously, in the same direction. , ) - Professor Cevor’a Stereoscopticon. As illustrative of Bible History, the life of :-e Pilgrims progress, and other miscella- we have never witnessed any ex hibition equal to the Stkkeoscopticon. Profes sor Cevor thoroughly understands his business, and all that he promises is performed. By his .skillful the apparatus, and aide l *( * drummond light, the most wonderful ef £( n yt art* produced, and the audience is entranced - .one scene after another imperceptibly appears and disappears. Many of the scenes are imle \*bably beautiful, whilst others profoundly im io’jf’ess the mind with admiration for the artist and , f .he sublimity of his conceptions We regretted I that our community failed to give ; nRr usouragement to this class of exhibitions, cilcu- | 4ated. as it was, to heighten every noble seuti j riitent and elevate the mind and h art to the Wftiest regions of social, moral and religious emo ‘ ■■•/». We know that many might have been ben- F* ik<\ by attending, whose prejudices and secta despotism led them into open warfare jNf |if!*.t it; whilst th* Iliinkadorians, Hand Organ thJlingtail Monkey crowd, might also have ill all Something to their advantage. :1 liable, iturday night the Professor exhibited for itut on *fit o'" the Presbyterian church in Quit in. tt lt neither his generosity, nor the object f U. the benefit was appreciated, and the cominit- tu find barely enough in the hands tb'*>or--keeper to pay the expenses of the ■*^j^6ibition. Personal. Wc were pleased to meet in Quitman, on last | Tuesday. Capt. George A. Padkick, of the , * Southern Georjian. a spicy and well conducted r ‘eekly. published at Bainbridge, Ga. Captain ' Padrick was one of the many thousand heroes j who fought for and were faithful to the Southern ; •anner: he passed unharmed through many des-; Aerate battle* - was promoted from the ranks to ihe posf?lon of Captain for gallantry; and when V the cause was lost returned to his home, to be V re * irded with the heart and hand of one of Flo- Bri< vs daughters. He is the representative j health and energy. The publisher of the I Jm s*twtr is happy to learn that his old and faith ;nl typo is prospering in business, and he wishes . rbim many years of happiness. Parties in this section who desire a paper from ♦fl’Soutb Western Georgia, are advised to subscribe •v io the Southern Georgian. Terms $3.00 per annum. The Patriot’s Farewell. Las* week we had the pleasure of presenting | to our readers “The Rebel's Vow.” by Zena.— j On our first page to-day will be found “ The Pa triot’s Farewell,*'by the same pleasing author. ,* These stanzas contain some genuine poetry,—the sentiment is mournfully sad. and sinks deep into the lacerated heart of every true man of the South, while the language comes fresh from Par nassus’ living streams of promethean fire. We are glad to be able to announce to our readers that “Zena” has kindly promised us oc casional contributions—prose and poetry—for ‘he Banner. Superior Courts. On Monday next his Honor. Judge llaxsei.i will commence, at Valdosta, the riding of tbit* Judicial Circuit. The Monday following our ow n Court sits. Lawyers, Jurors. Litigants and Witnesses will take due notice and govern themselves accord ingly. The Western Mail. For ten days past the mail from Thomasville has been provoklngly irregular. Three eonsecu-' live mails failed to bring the Macon Telegraph, and the Thomasville Enterprise of the '.3rd only reached Quitman on the I.9th. This looks as if. the fault is in he Thomasville office. Internal Revenue Tax Returns. We are i ©quested by Dr. T. S. Hopkins. As sessor for this sub District, to state that blanks ! for the return ol slaughtered animals and cotton, and also for Licenses may be found in the hands of Mr. ILF. Mabbett Collector, before whom re turns may be made aud forwarded to Dr. Hop kins at Thnma-ville. We suggest to our friends, who yet have cot ton on hand, the propriety of paying the tax on the same now. If they wait till the Ist of July, j the tax will in all probability be 5 cents per pound. ''Don't fail to reach the Col. or he will accuse the P. 0. Dos stealing it.' } On the envelope of one !of our most cherished exchanges the above ad monition was endorsed in pencil. We congratu late the author of the endorsement for the quick ness of perception, and keen relish for truth man ifested in this outward show of levity. We cer tainly could not be expected, under the present regime, to locate the abstraction of such a valu able and favorite exchange, as the Edgefield Advertiser, elsewhere. But we say to the I*. O. D., “Thou shall not steal” our exchanges. Brew cry Established We are delighted to learn that our old friend. 11. H. Linville. of Savannah, has connected a Brew cry with uis foundery establishment, and that hereafter his bachelor home will be enliven ed by K|> r v. ng oys and effervescing bubbles of domestic bliss.
