T. G. Stacy, Editor and Proprietor. SabteriptUm Price: $1 per, Annim in Advance WEDNESDAY, June 3Gth 1875. yp&M. ogggg. —Sixteen vessels in p irt last week. —Vacation begins lo-duy in the Public Schools of this city. —-The past week lias been a good one for‘‘tater vines.” —Times are hard in B., but harder elsewhere, if reports be true. —We welcome on our exchange list, this week, “Every Saturday/' published by I. L. Hunter, at .Mil- ledgoville, Gjt. A live sheet. , . —Vegetation fairly leaps under tho impulse given by recent showers. —Mrs. Kimbrough, so long identi fied with the school interests of our city, leaves us in a few days for an * other home. She will carry with her the good \jrishes of many friends. —Grfeat man’s minds run in the same channel—so said, but we rather doubt it. Some of our great men pay up their subscription promptly, whilst others do not. —L. B. Toomar Lodge (colored) celebrated St. John’s day by proces sion through our streets, headed by fife and drum. Why not get up a col ored band, friends, and thus vary your style of music? —PlufFers have recently taken the place of marbles with our boys around town, and an unceasing pop—pop greats the ear of the pusser-by at al most every corner. We always had a weakness for pop-guns in our boy hood days, and even now, we can’t refrain from borrowing one occasion* nlly from some lad, just to take a few shots. New lot of CLOCKS it Wm. Eoerflingor's next doot Tost Office. —The colored Masons of Darien, together with others not members of the Order, visited our city last week, and gave an entertainment at the Ris- ley School for the benefit of their Lodge: Prom all that we can learn, they did not carry away any more stamps than they brought with them. Cleared expenses, however. —Why will boys misbehave at all public entertainments in this place? Mrs. Kimbrough wishes us to ask •■why parents insist on going to bed themselves on such occasion and seuding their children out to annoy other folks, instead of putting them to bed and attending the school exer cises themselves, and thus eucourag- * ing both teachers and children." Wo fear some folks don’t know how bad their boys are when they get from under the eyes of father and mother. —Members of Ocean Lodge, to gether with their families and a few visiting friends, excurted to 8t. Si mons on St. John’s day. We regret exceedingly * our inability to accon- pnuy them. We learn, however, tha all parties came back highly pleased. Mr. Mallory King, the present owner of the old Tom-Butler-King place, "Retreat/ 1 opened his doers to the excursionists and bade them wel come, doing all in his power to make their stay on the island as pleasant as possible. One of the feutures of the exenrsion was an afternoon clam bake, served at five o’clock. Guess friend Flanders, of the Jesup House, had a "finger in that pie.” The brethren and friends then re-embarked, and after a short run reached B. in safety. —Mr. F. Leben has just received a fine lot of fancy candies, such as gum- drops, creamB, etc. Gall on him, young gent, just before storting to see your "duck.” —The Jesup Georgian, Hiram Ben nett Proprietor, comes to us this week for the. first time. It in indeed a neat ly gotten iip sheet. Our former typo. Mr. (ioodbread, Las a baud iu its “fixin’ up.” He is equal to tbo eme - gency. . —The cry is “still they go.” Sev eral more of our citizens leave on the next New York steamer for the sum mer. A pleasant trip to you, friends. Don’t stay any longer than possible, however. Wheeler and Wilson Sexring Machine. Mr. Berrien Moore of this city lias been appointed agent for the sale of the above machines in this section. He enters at once upon bln dtttied, is well supplied with machines, and can' furnish everything in his line. He has been furnished a splendid team, and will canvass the surronuding cou.itry. We are prepared to speak in the highest terms of the above ma- c line, having used one in our family fora number of years. In fact we consider them, by far, the best ma. chine we have ever examined. Friend Berrien lias our hot wishes for suc cess in his new business. - 1 FEMALKStHUOL, Public Spelling, etc. Pursuant to invitation of Mrs. Kim brough, quite a number of patrons and friends assembled at the Female Academy, on Friday niglit last, to witne.- s the exerci&es of the school. The examination, taken as a whole,’ was indeed a creditable one, consisting of spelling geographical names, read ing extracts, etc. The feature of spe cial interest was the reading of origi nal letters addressed to Mrs. K., by members of the second grammar class. Those evinced a proficiency in the use of words and sentences far beyond what would bo expected of pt rsons so young as they. Next iu order was the reading of extracts by the older mem bers of the school. All did so well that we don’t like to single out any on?, but feel constrained to say at least this much, few young ladies can excel Miss Katie Pouel in this branch of study. Her pronunciation was clear and distinct and her obser vance of the rules of reading was very marked. Evidently Mrs. K. has hot lost sight of the fact that to be a good scholar, one should first learn to read well. The reading by the “infants”—as Mrs B. was pleased to eall them—was indeed creditable. We must not forgot so mention the speech of Master Frankie Smith, “Try me, father, try me,” etc., which added much to the enjoyment of the evening. During the geographical spelling tlie young ladies were allow- j t d, when a difficult word was given i them, to call on gentlemen in the au dience to spell the somo for them. The wilting of editora, typos, lawyers and beaux under this trying or deal, was simply amusing. The exercises of the evening were inter spersed with song by the entire school, accompanied by Miss Myrtle Harris, on the organ. At eleven o’clock the performances closed, and parents and children, some happy, some sad, and a few sleepy, dispersed to qheir homes, well pleased with the entertainment of the evening. —As we go to press, we hear oft! e death of the little ‘n* nt of M-. .and Mrs. Richard Walker. Though only a week old, it. no doubt, occupied a large place in the affections of its fond parents. O ie more pure spir it wafted hence to God who gave it. Be content, stricken mother.

You are right, Mr. Pioneer, make him bring you two, and send us one and we will help your puff. Charleston, 1 o. Ca. boasts of a prodigy in the soape of a newspaper called “The Sunday Visitor," with “patent outsides” and “patent in sides.” We have hunted its pages thro: gh for the Sunday reading, but can’t find it.

He states that he has already Bold about 14,000 m New York, which netted him about sixty-five cents each. That he also shipped four car loads to Chicago within a few days past, for the 4th of July celebrations. He further states that he has received in New York §14 per bu. for cucum bers, 8 and SlO for beans and §14 for English peas ibis season. The Rev. Mr. Cooke, of Thomas- ville, caught a burglar in liis porch the other night, and instead of pray ing with him, walloped him over the head with the whole side of a chair.— Sat. News, The reverend gentleman evedently meant to enforce Mr. Solo mon’s injunction, in using, if not the rod, the next best thiug—the chair— and patting on the stripes where they would do the most good. We always did believe in more work and less prayer in a matter of this sort.—Jesup ( eorgian. A traveler, who sp nt some time in Turkey, relates a beautiful parable which was told him by a dervish, usd which seems even mure beautiful than Siene’s celebrated figure of the, accus ing spirit and the recording angel: “Every man,"saidthe dervish, “has two angels, one on his right shoulder and one on his left. When lie dut*» anything good, the angel on his right shoulder writes it down, and seals it. because what ri we l done is done for ever. When he does ovii, the angel on the lelt writes it down and waits till mid-night. If before that time the man bows his head and ex claims, “Gracious Allah! I have sin ned, forgive me!” the angel rubs out. the record: but if not, at mid-night he seals it, and the beloved angel ou tho right shoulder weeps.” New Advertisements.
