DuBignon. .Band his adver tisement in this issue, and give him n call to-morrow morning. —The “plug” having been knocked •out, there seems now no difficulty in ’ having abundant showers. Look well to your fall gardens. —We have been run to death, al most. this week with job work—that is, h inting for it. Come, good folks, -don’t starve us out. —Don’t forget to attend the Bap tist Supper next Friday night, at Marlin’s Hall. —Messrs. L. D. Hoyt & Co. have moved iuto their new store on New castle si. The general arrangement of things within reflects great credit upon the taste of these gentlemen. We fell into good hands last week on Bay street. We ate and we drank (nothing strong) and we smoked; all free, too. Who wouldn’t be an ed- tor? , —Our young| friends, Tom and Jim O’connor, are putting on a two- story addition to their store on the Bay. They don’t intend to be put in the background, sure. Give them a “lift," friends. —Mr. Wm, Doerflinger has put up at his show-window a novel and at tractive sign —a skeleton clock, keep ing perfect time. The workm in-diip is indeed fine and reflects great credit on Mr. D. —The steamers Huntsville and Montgomery, having had all ^neces sary work done to them, are (now per manently on the line for the winter. One of these staunch vessels will here after leave our port rogul ivly on Thursday of every weds for Now York. The Moutgomety, Captain Faircloth, leaves this week. —Bob Christopher, the colored smith, informs as tbit he bis never wanted work since he give ns jjuU advertisement. Gentlemen who nev er gave him work before now send their horses to him to be shod. Of course they do. Every body reads the Advertiser, and when it says a fellow is all right they patronize him. —We loam that arrangements are now being made to secure “through- hills of lading’’ to English ports from this city—either direct, or fvia New York. This is indeed a good step. We hope oar merchants and thoso of the interior will patronize this move ment and make it a success. We will give fuller details us opportunity pre sents. ssss&msMBsm* Drink. - We were shocked o few days' since' to hear a gentleman say that it cost the average drinker alnut $3n day for his “drinksand treats," nnd' that he would think it safe to say that 830 per day was a fair averag; of n mount of cash taken in by a first-class bar* room, and that some days it would run to *?iw, p )w,oio that such au amount of money i« waste ! daily in our midst—yen, worse than wasted? For are not our young men acquiring habits of dissipttion, that can only lead to shame? The evil < is enormous, where is the good? We * call on all good citizens, of every class and condition, to unite in devis ing some plan to check this groat evil. Yes, we call upon all, saloon-keepers as well as others, (for do not they see the evil, too?) to take steps looking to the abolishment of the trafio in our midst. Other places by a popular vote have done it. Why cannot we? You who deal in the article, (for are you not^good citizens?) sup pose you lead the van, and thus im mortalize your names? Come, what say? Here is a chance for good, em brace it. y. 11. Our columns are open and •at your disposal. Use them and tell us what you think. of That Investment $2,000,000 Some folks think we tripped up" on that statement made by us in last issue, concerning the miUin.; interests of Messrs. Dodge & Co. in our midst, W! did trip up on one word—yirinity. ’W; shouldj have sail sexton. The balance of the statement is correct. So Mi-. Dodge savs, and he »>*i« i.teio know. - Reader, our space is too limited to be correcting, in one issue, erroneous statements in former issn »s, so wo try to get it right the first time. When we tell you, for a fact, that Dodge & Co. will have invested in our suction $2,000,000 in the mill business, at an early day, just enter it down in your book and go on. That lien. Yes, just as we thoughi, the wh o e town is in a stir over that hen of Mr. Gignilliat’s that laid so ninny eggs and "never clucked once." One man says “He" (Mr. G.) “might have giv en me credit for raising that hen. I have the only gen nine Brahmas i n town. Its mother has been laying tl e same way for two years, and never h»s clucked in that lime." “Bah!," says another, “it can’t be a Brahma, it must be a grade." The women folks ail unite in saying “Put if they ever do take u notion to ’set’ yo'« are obliged to half lull them before you can make them quit it." And so they have it. Now we have $ “Domi- nicker” that is similarly peculiar— only just the other way. She never lays, and is always clucking. She has just finished a “setting" spell of six weeks on a blown duok egg, and never found out her mistake until she became so mud with it because it .vouldu’t hatch that she picked it to pieces, when she discovered to her horror that it was only a shell! We will sell her for $9, CASH. Killed by Lightning. Saturday night, 10 o’clock.—Solilo quy.—“Well, I guess Moore or Peters has got ‘them fellers.’ Four men promised me faithfully, upon their honor as gentlemen, that, if (Hive, they would be around to my shop to-night, and pay me some money. They have not oome. Poor fellowB| Ayonder how the undertakers are go ing to get their money! Yesterday afternoon, as a thunder storm was coming up, Mr. John Caf- fin and Mr. Tinker were passing down Monk st. Just as they arrived oppo site the Catholic Church they were both felled to the ground by an elec tric discharge from the cloud over head. The lightning appeared to have struck a large oak across the street, first, and then glancing over, vented its fury ou another just where the gentlemen were. Then leaving these, sought its bring prey. Mr. Cabin was killed instantly, but Mr. Tinker, though severely shocked, is recovering. Several other parties, standing near, were stunned more or less by the stroke. Another tree was struck a few moments later in Capt. Dure’s yard, throwing splinters sev eral inches long into the house. The above calamity, we believe, is sent as a warning to ns alL Heed it. [communicated.] Clarksville, Ga., July 27th, 187). Mir, Eaitor: There lias been a great deal written and said about this section of Georgia, almost to the extent seem ingly of exhausting the subject. Many of the articles recently writ ten have been overdrawn. There are a lew features up here, which, if Bar- num had in his Museum, would make quite a valuable accession thereto, but w'liich would strip and drain this coun try of every vestage of interest. These features ore Toccoa and Tallulah falls; Yaudevvcr, the pioneer settle?, ninety-eight years old; his mule whose name is “The Devil and Tom Walker;" and the favorite expression of the primitives, V|You-uns must come to see we-uns.” These are the only dots we can find, ■ xcept the Yonah mountain, which (tits like a black terrapin in the beau tiful valley of Nacoochee, which >would also great iy add to the interest ist the Museum. We will write you •a.few more dots when we find them. It reminds ns of drinking a great deal of water to get a little coffee, which, Mr. Editor,—if you have ever experienced in your various rounds— leaves a man rather puffed and dis tended without muoh zest and stamina. This is a very rolling au J beautiful country, and indeed so rolling that the stones have not gatheroJ any moss.
