Fire engines, however good, would be use less unless sufficient water bo within reach. —We again heg'loave to say to our delinquent subscribers that' we are needing that almighty dollar. Some folks promise well, but some how “kinder forgib” Their memories seem to be very treacherous. —We hear of a colored stranger in town who claims to.be a missionary. Ha-', been relieved of his duties in Fla. and ordered to New Orleans. He left his watch at a jewelry shop with in instructions to “fix it us socn as occa sion required.” A f‘*w more of our merchants leave on this week’s steamer for New Yoik. We hope they will find a cluuip place to purchase goods. Lower the prices, gentlemen, and you will soon find that our people will stop sending oiF to Sa vannah, Augusta and (trlfliu for goods. You have superior advantages to some of these places. —The base-ball fever has attacked our town lads at last. The “Young Americas” is the result. One of the by-laws of, the club is that any boy who uses an oath while playing is t bo kicked by two of the others. It might be well for some of their pa pas to join that club. —Ero. Smith, of the Appeal, rather go us on the stave question.

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. Early to bed and curl to rise, etc- GENERAL ITEMS. One firm in Forsyth bought $11,000 worth of dried fruit this season.—Reg ister. Another victory for the temperance cause—all the bar-rooms in Mcnti- cello, Ga., closed last week. Capt. Webb recently swam across the English Channel at Dover in 21 hours and 10 minutes. A good swim that. A Louisiana saloon-keeper’ recently paid $1 200 damages to a woman for selling liquor to her husband.—Regis ter. Savannah is soon to have a pork packing establishment. The Register calls it “Cincinnati moving down to Georgia. ” There was an earthquake in St. Thomas. —Ex. Liberty county is calling for immi grants of a differ, nt class from any obtained so far. She wants actual settlers, and not floating loafers. Monticello, Go., is soon to have a temperance journal, published by John F. Sheent, editor of the JJanner- Subscription $1 per year. The Covington Enterprise proposes to exhibit a motor, made at home, on the Keely principle. Must be some blow about it.—Register. Some editor away up in Maine has discovered that la t month (August) had two new moons. This is the first time this has happened since 1858. Jefferson county, Fla., has a col ored Justice of the Peace so truly loy al that he ordered liis own wife to jail (she having stolen a shirt) in default of bail for $100. Goodbread, of the Triumph, insists on coming to Brunswick every few days in search of items. The Board of Honor will have a job soon if he don’t puit. A ftietid, who has been travelling around extensively in southwestern Georgia, states that the people in the neighborhood of Valdosta and south of that point, as far as the Florida line, have better crops and seem to be in a more thriving condition than any other locality visited. Montgomery county comeq to the front with a new’ churn, run by foot power, invented by an old “comrade in arms,” Dr. John Mobley. Now Doe., if you want to see the chum of ai churns just come down hero and examine one gotten up by friend L. D. Hoyt. It is’ perfect. 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 yor betters, and knows more about religion than all de Baptisses dat ever shouted, you mis’able black scum! and me got- de rlieunmtiz enough to set mo crazy!
