—Many thunks toMr Geo, Spear, for

Through the courtesey of CoL 0. L.
Schlatter, Supt., of tho .Brunswick &
Albany Bail road, we were permitted
a few days since to enjoy a pleasant
trip over the road to Pino Bloom (80
mile post). In company with that clever
conductor, Wm. Crovatt, wo left B. at
7, n. m. on the regularpasengev. Tho
day was nil that could be desired, and
in a short while wfi found ourselves
dashing along through fovest- and
glen, ••raitleiug over bridges and
shooting under arches," looking first
in one direction and then in another
to see every object of interest that
might attract attention. The first ob
ject of special interest after leaving R.
was tho Cemetery of our colored folks.
It is indeed a pretty place and well
kept. Evidently our colorod friend
Jackv White m ikes a good sexton, if
appeara ices be anything. In due sea
son we reached the neighborhood of
Buffalo where crops looked green and
flourshiug, especially those of Mr.
Fred Hazlelmrst, his crop seems to
have suffered very little from the
drought up to this time, much les <
than others along the line of the road,
many of which are entirely ruined, we
saw many fields of corn entirely cut
off, others however were more promis
ing. A little farther on we behold a
mre sight indeed, one truly, tropica)
in its nature, a perfect forest of cab-
f nrnish Silver Coffin Plates, with name
etc. engraved. Should you be so un
fortunate as to need such a thing, gi' e
him a call.
—A number of the young gentle
men of our city, are enjoying them-
i elves this week at friend Clubb’s on
Cumberland, “Walking around the
try s, early in the.mo n ng,”
—Our suspension for tho post two
weeks, was occasioned l y the i ill ess
of our young typo. We re glad to
state that he is convalescing. We rre
muler many obli nations to Mr. J. R.
Franklin, for assistance in getting out
this issue.
—Mr. Wm Gignilliat, has a non-set-,
t ug Brahma hen that has laid 8) odd
eggs since April, and has never clack
ed once. She laid at first two days in
succession, and then skipped one.
Toward the last of the time she con
tributed one daily, aud the Inst day,
produced two. A valuable bieed in
deed.
—Under the bend of improvemets,
we note this week; confectionery shop
of F. Leben, on Bay street; roof of
Mr. Habersham‘s Office, at foot of
George street, painted; Pptnam's sta
ble whitewashed; shell road repaired;
wind-mill and water works of Col.
'DeBrulil; Completion and trial of
Stuve machine; side-walk to new store
of L, B. Davis & Co; public Hall of
J. S. Marlin, fitted up; etc, etc. Some
folks have an eye to business. Wake

The ladies of tho Baptist Church,
will give a supper on Friday night the

apeak) So be on hand promptly with

I bage palmetto’s from 20 to 40 feet in,
height, these were visible on either
side of the road for several miles, , W<y
i doubt if a largerrove is to be fpunct
in this part of the world. The pnlpaety
to log is hebl in creat esteem by whar£
builders along the sea-coast, .being iny,
pregnablto the boring machine, of that
little insect in salt water so .deU’tpijr
one to wood. Shaws mill (40 mile post)
next came in sight. Here we ssiw a
degree cf energy and enterprise, re-
feshihg to behold. Iu addition to his
saw mill he lias machinery for manu
facturing laths, staves, vegetable crates
etc. and is now putting up a. grist
mill and a rice machine. He is indeed
a live man: no danger his people will
ever s'.arve, as long as he dosn’t for
get to breathe. We need a thousand
more just such men along the If. & A.
Rail road.
The Turpentine farm snd distillery
of Messrs McKiunou Jk Bro. next en-
grosed our attention, these, gentlemen
and 'others in the same business along
both lines of roads leading to Bruns
wick, are doing much to keep up our
steamship ling, We wish them success.
We nexb passed Schl^ttovville. name l
in honor of Col. Kchlater. Horn wc
saw one marked sign of prgress, a
whitewashed fence. A few moments
run from thence brought us to the saw
m ! U of friend Aug. F. Franklin. All
hands seemed busy here as at the other
mills. Mr. F’k residence as well us all
of his out houses present a neat ap
pearance. We were forcibly impress
ed wi ll the display of flower pots fill
ed with rich geranium and other hot.
house plants, that adorned his piazza.
The sigh* was trnlv pleasing in that
great wilderness of pine trees. Refine
ment ami education will show them
selves, aitho hid away m tho foxest,
and woman, civilization's chief hand
maid, will ever be found beautifying
and embellishing the home where she
is loved aud honored. H^r mission
indeed a great one. Next on the list
conies Way Cross, or “Cross Ways"
as Cuffie insist on calling it, A ucut
little village indeed, situated at the
junction of the two roads. Hero we
saw signs of life,—new houses going
up and others being improved. There
is not nn iuferior building in the place,
so unlike most new towns. Besides
many taste J rl reside ices and stores,
Way Cross can boast of an elegant
Court house, a neat little Church, a
commodious acadamy, and a well-kept
hotel. All honor we soy to tho vim of
the good people of Wag Cross. May
they realize nil they wish for and more
besides.
Leaving Way Cross we sped on
coming first to Waresboro, the former
shire-town of Ware, apparently a l>a-
sy little place. Next m order came,
the mill of Messrs Hilliard & Co.*where
we were pleased to find everything in
npple-pie order. Next came Mr. B. B.
Gray’s mill, where we saw a familia*
name (Jno, R. Cook,) adorning the
broadside of a staunch little tram-way
engine, used by Mr, Gray for brinG-
iug his logs from the forest. Next
came Millwood, and then Pine Bloom
where we found still another saw mill
Mr. W. W. Colquit’s. Here we left
the train and repaired to the residence
of Mr. Richard Bennett, an old and
respected citizen of that section, where
we were cared for in good shape. It
would be fabulous to tell of the milk
aud clabber we destroyed, for these
good folks. Mr. B’s place is on Red
Bluff creek, the dividing line of Cof
fee and Ware counties, He has a gord
farm and an excelent water mill, and
will soon put np one of “Stacy’s Pu-
. tent Rice Pounders” for cleaning the
rough rice raised in that section. He
has a fish trap connected with his mill
pond, from which lie can got any day
of the year as many fine trout as he.
wishes. The exops in llii- locality'are
much better than any other point Ton

Wo returned home the day fol’wing,
having had a real good time, and now
j lbfttc toward to some day in the future
when we hope to eejoy just such ay
: not her trip. In oonqkwion ive would
I say that we consider the tr.iek of this
road smoother than any other we have
e ver i jdden over.
