—Get ready for the Agricultural
Convention, City Fathers. A slight
omission on your part may cause the
delegates to view us iu a wrong light.
—An exchange says that young peo
ple under 18 years of age should be
allowed to sleep as long as they please
of mornings. Our ''Devil” is anxious
to have his mother read that paper.
—The ladies of the Baptist Church
give an entertainment on the night of
the 8th of February, and also the
“Star Club.” Pity they should con
flict. The Oeeanies claim the 9th.
A good time it looked for.
—Our Marshal might find amuse
ment some Sunday in the woods near
Dixville, looking after Sabbath break
ers. Pistol firing was quite Common
out there last Subbath evening. Other
violations might be mentioned.
—We hear of a man in Glynn coun
ty who subscribes for all the papers he
can, promising to pay when liis “rice
is harvested.” So far, he has t.nly se
lected a piece of gronnd that he thinks,
might produce good rice, but he has
no idea of trying it.
—The concert last Thursday night
is pronounced by all a perfect success.
One marked feature of the affair was
that there were no “deadheads”—per
formers as well as audience had to pay
their way. Tho idea seems a little
novel, for u man to pay to hear him*
self sing.
—We learn that snpt. Grant should
Bay that at an early day he would
, have another steamer running to For-
nandinn in connection with theM. k
B. R. It. The return travel from Fla.
this spring is indeed worth looking
after.
—Mr. Page Gray, of this city, aud
another man have just made the trip
from Macon to Brunswick in an open
boat, 700 miles, said to be. They were
15 days on the voyage, They brought
rations along, and kept themselves
supplied with game by the assistance
of their guns.
—The loug-talked-of tannery is now
about to take shape. Mr. D. A. Moore
—under directions of Mr. Turoley—
will make on experiment this week
with tho new tanning process. If suc
cessful, we learn that the work will
begin at once. Push it, gentlemen;
prosperity is reached by just such av
enues.
—Wo learn that there has been a
slight change in the proprietorship of
the Davidson House—a Mr. Clark
buying out half interest. The new
firm, Messrs. Smith k Clark, haveonr
best wishes.
The Biain House, we learn, will al
so change hands at an early day.
• -Rev. N. (Shot-well preached to a
large and attentive congregation at the
Iresbyterian Church of this city on
Sabbath morning last. His subject was
well selected and ably presented. He
will fill the pulpit again on Sabbath
next, at-which time the Sacrament of
the Lord’s Supper will be celebrated*
Preparatory lecture on Thursday
night.. Let none stay away.
j —There wero two “run offs” on the
B. & A. B. E. Monday morning last'
The passenger train struck a cow »bou l
18 miles from town, throwing the
trucks of the tender from the rail No
other damage, we learn. The other
“runoff” ooourredatSatilla Station.
Some evil disposed person ohanged the
switch, which caused the lumber train
—Taylor, conduotor—to take the side
tr&ok, and before the engineer could
stop the train, the track gave out, and
the train took to the ground, causing
considerable damage. No injuries were
sustained, except by Mr. Taylor, who
hod his hand somewhat bruised and
slightly sprained. Mrs. Wm. Turner
and children were in the cab, but re*
ceived no injury whatever—tho baby
not even waking up. Moral—A little
money spent for locks for these switch
es might save much loss of life and
property.
Corn Raising Profitable.—Mr.
Wm. Tnrnley, the Alabama man, who
raised 217 bushels of corn on one acre
of land, of which we made mention
some time since, is in town this week,
selling seed. etc. He informs us that
the 51 ears raised from seventeen stalks
of oorn—1 bushel—which he exhibited
at the Mocon Fair, were sold by him
there at $1 per ear. Think of it, read
er, 651 for one bushel of coral
Convention.—We are pleased to see
that the City Council ore alive to the
importance of preparations for the
convention on the 8th proximo. The
committee on “somewhere to sleep’’
should lose no time, but have their ar
rangements completed at once. The
idea of a fish and oyster repast on Rt.
Simons Island is a good one, but we
most earnestly hope that the plan Of
transportation suggested by some, of
going down in lighters in tow of some
tug, will be abandoned, as being both
disagreeable and dangerous. The
sound would be quite an uncomforta
ble place to navigate in such crafts, if
a “squall” should come up. Would it
not be better, gentlemen, to charter
for the oocasion either the Olyphant
or Reliance? Both will pass here du
ring the sitting of the convention, and
could, no doubt, be chartered for very
little more than the cost of the pro
posed conveyances. To our citizens
we would say: entertain as many as
you can, for it takes a good many beds
to sleep three hundred men.
Big Turnip—Practical Joke—
Judge Sold*
before by Judge Nonna a of Liberty
county, bt t which they lu=t out of the
buggy whilst en route to the station.
Strange, reader, that two judges
couldn’t keep track of one eight pound
turnip, don’t yon think—and both v
temperance men, top?
His Honor presented that turnip to
the Advertiser, with request that wo
“writeit up.” We have written up
the parties, bat muoh prefer to eat up
the turnip. ,
Three cheers for Judge N. for rais
ing such a tnraip! Three cheers for
the wag that found that tnraip and
perpetrated the “sell!” And may we
not add, three tears for Judge H.’s
half dollar—express charges? -
