—Call on T. (J* Stacy it you nave
any boys to send to school the present
year. His terms will be reasonable.
—We were pleased to meet in opr
office last week our old friend Rev. R.
N. Andrews, formerly editor of the
East Georgia Messenger. He is look
ing well again.
—Some of our merchants say they
had such good trade last Monday that
they kept thinking Tuesday was Sun
day, and felt like going to church all
day—Saturday being usually, the
liveliest day with them.
—Ward’s Minstrels gave an enter,
taiument in our city last week. We
did not witness the performance, but
learn from others that it was not what
it was represented to be,—in short,
some go so far us to pronounce it “a
swindle.”
—Well, we guess we will go clear
this time, for we see no signs of the
circus posters. How kind in them to
give us the go-by! We hope the day
will yet come when our town will ele
vate its moral staudaid so high that
all such evil influences will pass us by
in disgust.

—The Public Schools are again sus
pended. We would suggest to the
Trustees the propriety of having them
remain so, this time, until their cash
accumulates sufficiently to run the
schools the entire year, and pay the
teachers promptly. They have suffer
ed enough in this direction.
—One of our merchants has sugges- j
ted the propriety of a change in the j
matter of “paying off” employees in !
our town—using some other night in- |
stead of Saturday. Much can be said
in favor of the suggestion. The more
we thing of it, the more we are im
pressed with it. The change, we learn,
has been made in other localities, and
works well.
Municipal.
Drug Store Scene.—Colored boy
—“Mr. Dr.-Madden, de Major says
sen’ um a box of dem Liber's Tntt
Pills.”
Big. fut man, standing by—“The
Major is right, boy. Give him my
compliments, and tell him bis head is
level. Them’s a good pill.
Look out for him.
A mulatto boy about fourteen years
old, apparently insane, has been raid
ing around town for several days and
nights past, “lifting” anything that
comes in his way, such as hams, cakes,
chickens, etc. Ho seems to have quite
a mania in this particular direction.
He ought to be looked after by hi 8
kinfolks, (if he has any) or somebody
may save them the trouble, whilst on
some of his raiding tours. If he is in.
deed insane, liis case should be inves
tigated, and provision made for his
maintenance.. Besides his raiding
propensities, he seems to take delight
in searing young children.
—Rev. R. A. Mickle, of Cuthbevt,
has been l.ivited to fill the pulpit of *
the Presbyterian Church of this city
on the 9th and 16tb, and Rev. N.
Sliotwell, of Rogersville, Tenn., the
23rd and 30th of the present month.
—Fnancially, the bottom round of
the ladder is not yet reached by our
afflicted country,—at least, our know
ing ones say so. If such is the true
status of things, the outlook is indeed
a gloomy one. Let economy be the
watchword, then, with us all, whether
in public or private life—possibly we
may weather through.
—An old friend, who reads the Ad
vertiser, told us a few days since that
he had just finished reading our arti.
cle on the old year, and would try to
follow the advice given. He also mis
chievously suggested that if we would
practice what we preached, the col
umns of our little paper might be im
proved. Thanks, friend, we will try.
Emancipation Celebration.
—“An ounce of preventative is
worth i pound ofcuva. ” we thought,
a few days since, when we saw a lot. of
boys running after the passenger train
and jumping aboard whilst it was mov
ing slowly through town from one de
pot to the other. Mothers, if you
would avoid accidents, keep your boys
at home, or else see to it that they stay
away from the railroads. It will be
too late to remedy the evil, after your
boy is hurt.
Last Saturday, the anniversary of
Lincoln’s "Emancipation Proclama
tion,” wits celebrated by our colored
citizens. The crowd in attendance
was large, but not as much so as was
expected. The occasion was celebra
ted with speeches, processions, mili
tary display, and the inevitable fif e
and drum. A few of the most patri.
otic added to the above a generous
supply of benzine, by way of loosen
ing their tongues, in order that, they
might more readily give vent to their
feelings.
At night the celebration was contin
ued with fire-works, processions, etc.
We are pleased to state that every,
thing passed off quietly and pleasant
ly, without any disturbance whatever.
Whilst on this subject, we can but
3rop a word of praise in behalf of the
colored people in this locality. They.
are quiet, orderly, and well behaved..
To many, freedom has indeed been a
great boon; their improved condition
in life showing that they appreciate
the benflts of the -ntfw order of things.
We regret, however, to say that num
bers still imitate their brethren in the
jungles of Ethiopia, looking .only to
the present moment, and providing
simply for its necessities. To the for*
mcr class we would say: Press on; use
every diligence to elevate yourselves
and better your condition; educate
your children; and, above all, lead
pure and true lives, and thus show
that the boon of freedom baa not been
wrongly bestowed.
To the latter class we/would say:
Beware, or you will drift back into
barbarian, and thvs render your last
condition worse than the first.
Ft
On the 3rd iust, the City Coatfeil of
1676 took their seats, presided 6 ve?r l>$r
our ucwly iicctcu
Davenport. In reviewing the actions
of the old Board ’for the past year) we
see much that commends itself to us.
As public servants they have been
united in their efforts to carry out tho
wise policy proposed at the commence
ment of the year. Wherein they, have
failed, we feel that it has not been from
want of effort on their part, but on ac
count of causes they could not con.
trol. The bonded debt, for instance,
has not been arranged, nor has the
forger of the City Currency been
brought to justice. But we feel sure
that no .stone has been left unturned
in pushing Ihe one and ferreting out
the other. It takes time to work up
either of these, and neither should be
pushed with undue haste.
In the brief remarks of Mayor Da
venport to the new Council, he advis
es a continuation of the same policy
adopted by the old Board, following
up what they have commenced, and
completing the same; urging every
member to do his duty fully, irr e .
spective of all selfish considerations.
In the hands of the present Board we
feel that our city affairs for 1876 are
safe.
