' —What of the “ ‘Wa^pee* Club?""
—Who can tell the biggest oyster
tale on the Convention folks?
—Early part of the week very warm
and uncomfortable.
—Now is the time to set out shade
trees. See to it, property holders.
—We hear of a man who plauts his
Irish potatoes with the “eyes” down,
to keep the sand out of them.
—An (jxclmngo tells of a colored
man in upper Georgia with 11 fingers.
We are still ahead; Brunswick lias one
with 12 fingers and 12 toes.
—The ladies complain of depreda
tions on the part of cows and goats in
the cemetery. See tn this, Mr. Chair
man, or a cow and goat ordinance will
be the next tiling on tapis.
4S-CABBAGES, ONIONS, and POTATOES at
FRANK HALL’S, on the Bay.
—By the way, wonder if the chair -
man of streets,'^cgins, etc., is aware
that large ditch in Dix-
ville leoim^pSpie marsh—one, too,
that has noM^jln^pruperly deepened
since the wan*
—We »f$i : from proceedings of
Legis'ature* tjiat a bill has passed the
Senate incorporating a 4 Brunswick
Bank and Trust Compiny.” So far,
our banking aud irustwg have been
kept some distance apart—too little
of the former and too much of the lat
ter has well nigh upset some of our
merchants. ’Tis hoped a union of the
two will result in good.
—Another young man asks ns to ad
vertise for a wife for him. He wunts
one (in addition to the usual qualifi
cations of a good wife) capable of fill
ing the following positions: cook,
seamstress, washer, ironer, milkmaid,
errand girl, maid-of-all-work, and
generate business manager—in short,
one t^ support him. Poor fellow!
Wont somo sour old maid take pity on
him?
AS* SOUR KRAUT and CHOW CHOW Just re
ceived at FRANK HALL'S, on the Bay.
FRANK HALL'S, on
M. &'B. R. R.—Up to the time of
this writing, nothing definite has been
done by the Georgia Legislature in
the matter of the M. & B. R. R. It is
generally thought, however that new
bonds will be issued to cover the in*
terest now past due, and falling due;
said bopdp to run for twenty years
from jjiflyv-lst, 1876, and bearing in-
terefLat 7 per cent., payable semi-an-
nuafiy." ' »
—Well, the tannery has taken shape
sure enough, and the results are be
fore ns. Just two weeks ago a young
cow beast was walking at large; to-day
one-nf onr citizens is stepping around
up to his knees in boots made of that
Very calf's hide. Query—How is Unit j
for quick?
Competent judges say the leather is
all right A stock company has been
formed, and, so far as we are able to
judge, the work is goiug ahead nicely.
As soon as arrangements are made, the
idea is to open a boot and shoe facto*
ry in connection with the tannery.
Now is yonr time to take stock in the
enterprise.
- Bishon Gross filled the Catholic
pulpit of this oily Inal Suuimlii.
-Bishop Beckwith is to be hero on
Friday next, we learn, to dedicate the
Episcopal chnrch.
Explanatory.
Friend Smith, of the Appeal, gently
hints that we made another “erroue-
ohs statement” iu giving the idea that
onr authorities licensed that soap man
to gamble. Now, all we have to say on
the subject is this:
We don't know what the city au
thorities licensed him to do—it mat
ters not, any way, for they were not
the prosecutors; but this we do know :
that the county officer, who licensed
him, knew just what he was licensing
him to uo, for be went to Mr. Soap
Man in person, and told him that he
must take out a license.
Now, we don’t go back on what we
have said—we stick to it, that “hav
ing been licensed by proper authority,
he should uot have been interfered
with. If it was wrong to license, then
punish the party who gave the li
cense.”
Whiskey or no Whiskey.
The Legislature has passed a bill to
regulate tne sale of liquors within the
corporate limits of Emus wick—the
same, however, to be submitted a vote
of the people. Much can be said on
either side of this question. Noue (ex*
cept those who deal iu the article, and
not even all of them) question the gen-
(■)•'. idea t at much evil is daily oc
curring iu onr midst from the improp
er use of liquor. Numbers of our
young meu are fast forming habits of
intemperance that will paralyze their
usefulness in after years—or worse
still, cause them to fill drunkards’
graves. Now, to avoid this is the
great end sought in the present move
ment. Many think tho passage of a
law excluding the sale of liquor from
our midst the very thing to accom
plish wliut is wanted, whilst others
claim that the resalts arising from this
measure will be tenfold worse than our
present grievances—giving rise, they
think, to secret resorts and numerous
dodges to evade the law. They argne
that some men are fond of whiskey,
and will have it at all hazards, etc.
Now we admit that there is weight
in all this reasoning, but have onr
doubts about the latter evil being
worse than the former—we mean in its
influence upon the rising generation
-,-iit least, we would like to see a fair
test made. Let’s try it for twelve
months, or more, aud see the results.

Revivals.—We read of revivals all
over the country from one end to the
other; a general spirit of awakening
seems to be taking liofd of the people
in almost every locality; why are not
we similarly favored? Is it that we arc
so wicked that the Good Spirit has
concluded to “pass us by?” Or is it
only that we nre too ppQwl to bid Him
enter and “sup with us?” Let every
church member pondef this.
