A f‘*w more of our merchants leave

We hope they will find a cluuip place

You have superior advantages to some
of these places.
—The base-ball fever has attacked
our town lads at last. The “Young

might be well for some of their pa

Parochial School.—Rumor says
that our Episcopal friends here are
leaking arrangements to get a par >-
chial school unde? the control of their
pastor. As far as the interest of |he
Episcopal Church is concerned, this
is a splendid move, as its tendency
would be to build up that church and
swell its ranks. Wo think, however,
it is qnfortuiinle so far as the welfare
of the Public Schools are concerned,
lividing, as it will, the efforts of our
people in this direction. Whilst re
gretting this move on the part of our
Episcopal friends, we are forced to
commend their zeal, showing as it
does a determination on their part to
push forward the great interests of the
church aikl build up the Master’s
kingdom on earth.
Sligldl) Mistaken.
Tue editor of the Way Cross De
partment of the Yaldosta Times, in
reviewing a recent article in the Sav
Aihetiisar, has this to say:
“Savannah is entitled and should
have, by right, ti e trade of a distance
of six hundred miles along a line due
Noitinvest from that city including all
the territory between said line and the
Atlantic & Gulf coast. Savannah is
the natural outlet for this section of
country. The trade of this scope is
growing and rapidly increasing. It
is enough already, if centered to Sa
vannah, t o build her up and make her
ii large commercial city, just such a
one as nature intended her to be—the
entrepot-, the empire city of the
South.”
Now Pro. Folks, ain’t you slightly
mistaken about that matter? Have
you lie-Mi to Brunswick lately? Is
that the way to talk to your people,
urging them t » ■•;(. ninety miles away
to hunt an outlet to the sea, when you
can reach it in § of the distance, and
get to the sea, t: o —and not stop seven
teen mile 4 away upon u mu ldy stream
where vessels will only come in cold
weather? Come now, don’t yon can
didly and truly believe that Bruns
wick is the proper outlet for the entire
re.-td- ii e uith of ilie Altamaha river?
V e k"ow you do. She has every
thing to recommend Ler as such, hav
ing the only harbor, south of Fort
Royal, crmueL-ted uith the interior by
two Hue.- of .rail, where vessels can en
ter at almost any stage of the tide and
anchor in safety. Now wo eun’t see
why Way Cross should laud Sav mliah
so highly. From all we can gather
we don’t learn tli.it Svannnli has ever
done anything ipecially fo • her wel-
fnre. B -fore the present B. & A..R
R. wash lilt, Way Cross was a pine
sapling thicket, and never would have
been he ird of had not a Brunswick
enterprise reached out its hand and
started her forward. And now we
nsk in all candor what lias Savannah
done to help her on since she started?
Why, the Gulf Hoad, running in the‘
interest of Savannah, ignores her
claims altogether and still makes her
a kind of “Hag station,” holding on
to the c.ld one, Tebear.ville, a dilap-
idat d piece, one mile away. No,
Bro., Savannah doesn’t deserve your
good will. She doesn’t care a “hill of
beaus” about your beautiful little
town - the neatest to her size along the
whole line of the Gulf Road. Cease,
then, your efforts to build her up, and
sharpen your quill anew and write
Brunswick from “early mom til dewy
eve,’’for she is indeed a friend to your
seed on. Stand up for her.

Miscellaneous.
Baptised by Mistake.
The following from the East Gem\
gia Messenger is too good to be lost.
Its editor is a good, square Methodist
preacher, so we guess the tale is true.
Some of our colored brethren of the
Baptist persuasion had a baptism
down at tlio creek last Sunday, and
the ceremony attracted a very large
crowd of people. Mrs. I itmau’:; ser
vant girl was very anxious to l>e pres
ent, and, as it was not her Sunday out,
she slipped away from the house while
the dinner was cooking, and went
round in her working clothes. Her
interest was so intense that she stood
quite near the minister, who w’as in
the water while the ceremony pro
ceeded. After six or seven had been
dipped, the clergyman, filled with
enthusiasm, siezedher, and pulled her
into the water. She resisted, but the
minister imagined she was only afraid
of the coldness of the water, so before
she could explain the situation he
soused her. She came up splatter
ing, and exclaimed:
“What you doin’? Lemme go, I
tell you!”
But he exerted his strength, and
sent her “ker-chuok” below the sur
face again. She emerged, clawing the
air wildly and shoaling.-
“G’wnv from here! Don'L you
But the clergyman was inexorable,
and ho plunged her under a third
time, and held her there for a minute*
so as to let it soak in and do her good.
Then she carna up and struck for the
shore, and standing there, looking like
a draggled mermaid cut in ebony, she
shook her fist at the astonished par
son, and shrieked:
“Oh, I’ll fix you! I’ll bust the head
offen you, you or’nary trash! sousin’
me in dat dare creek and nearly
ilrownded me, when you lcnowed well
enough all de time dat I’se a Metho
dist, and bin chrissened by dem dot’s

religion than all de Baptisses dat ever
shouted, you mis’able black scum! and
