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. JSS-CHOW CHOW at 26 cents per quart, at FRANK HALL’S, on the Bay. 4S-Fresli MINCE MEAT & SOUB KRAUT, at FRANK HALL’S, on the Bay. —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. New Advertisements. PRIVATE SCHOOL, for the year 1876. 15 or 20 boys only will be received. Apply to T. G. STACY.
