Ccmpetion is a grent thing. —Many thunks toMr Geo, Spear, for a mess of Black-fish sent us. You can get them of him, live and fluttering at any time. — Messrs L, D, Hoyt & Co. are puMtng on tho finishing touch to their vew and comodious store, they will meve in soon. —One of our best drinkist has a- landonedtlie “bowl” and now pat ronizes Leben’s soda Fount. A pleas ant driuk, but not so cxliiler ding. —During the thunder storm, last Saturday two cedar trees were struck by lightning in the yard adjoining store of Messrs Friedlauder, & Co. --Mr Wm. Doerflinger, is prepared to 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 u t » croakers! Entertainment at Marlin’s Hall, The ladies of tho Baptist Church, will give a supper on Friday night the 20th, inst, at Marlin's Hal', These folks never fail to have a good supply of nice things, (Wo know whereof we apeak) So be on hand promptly with A mill supply of the “needful" in your pocket t, Young man bring your sister as well as your “Girl" and see that Father and Mother, are not de tained at home. 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 .the, road. 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. $2,000,000.
