—Wonder what has become of the
Hinesville Gazette? No paper in four
weeks. How is this, Brother B.
—Dr. Cargyle requests us to ask
Conncil to let the people vote on the
“hog law,” as well as the ‘ local op
tion. ” What say, Fathers.
—Read notice of Wm. P. Minor &
Co. They keep always on hand a sup
ply of corn and flour, which they of
fer “cheap for cash.”
—Rev. Mr. Brown, of Florida,
preached in the Presbyterian Church
of this city on Sabbath morning last-
Those who heard him enjoyed a rich
repast.
—That “Centeunial” stick of tim
ber sent down by Mr. Roppard has
been shipped and will soon be in po
sition as one of Georgia’s coatribn.
tions to the world’s great show.
—The new steamer General Sedg
wick, now on the Florida route in
place of the Olyphant, made her first
trip last week. She is pronounced a
very fast boat.
—Messrs. Phillips & Buscey are
still on band, turniug out fine pic
tures. They can take “light” eyes as
well os dark ones—so despair not. ye
who, so for, have failed on that score;
try again.
—Notwithstanding the hot coal fire
kept ap in our Post Office, it has some
times very cold elements within. Lost
week it had at one and the same time,
North, Rnin(ey), Snow, and Ice. How
is that for temperature?
—Come, gentlemen, hurry up with
that 4 ‘Bank and Trust Co.” We know
of two parties—men whose promise, no
far, have been sufficient—who tried all
of last week to borrow a little mouey,
and could not get it.
—Weston, of the Dawson Journal,
calls our townsman, J. F. Nelson, ug
ly. Guess he did not see him with
his “Sunday-go-to-meetin’ ” clothes
on, or he would not have thought so.
Come agaiu, Brother, and take anoth
er look, by daylight next time.
—The Household of Brattleboro,
Vt., (by the way, one the best month
lies we know of) in its last number
took up a half column to tell how to
cook a goose. Brother, couldn’t you
tell ns first how to get the goose.
We’ll find a way to cook it.
—We are requested by Mr. H. A
Kenrick, Assignee, to state that there
will be an auction to-morrow (Tbnrs.
day), 10 o’clock, expressly for the la-
dies. Now is the time to bay your,
selves neb.
—The Episcopal Chnrch of this city
was dedicated lost Friday by Bishop
Beckwith. On Sabbath he preached
twice to very large audiences. After
—We are pleased to sea the brush
piles in the lower end of town disap
pearing. This is u step in the right
direction. Keep our drains all open,
oar underbrush all trimmed out, and
our trash burned up, and we will have
no siokness this summer.
—We are pleased to meet once more
our young friend Geo. B. Mabry, who
has been spending sumo time in the
State of Texas. He thinks, all things
considered, Georgiy a better place.
He will probably locate in Baxley, No.
7, M. & B. R. R. for the further prac
tice of his profession, the law.
—Why conduct the business of ’75
in ’76? The county tax matters of Inst
year have not been settled up yet.
This is all wrong. Twelve months is
surely long enough to do it all in.
Just such as this is why we hear men
say, “Well, A and B did not pay tl)«ir
taxes till spring; b’lievc I’ll wait, too,
next time.”
— 1 The frost last Friday morning was
a sharp one, but, so far as we hear of,
no damage in this section done to ten
der vegetable. Many of our truck far
mere took the precaution to cover up
tomato; cucumber, and other tender
plants with palmetto leaves, whilst
others kept large fires going all night
among their plants. The yield cf ear
ly vegetables in this section will, it is
thought, be very large.
—On a round of discoveries last
Friday p. u., through the apper por
tion of town, we saw some things wor
thy of commendation. We found every
drain and ditch in ‘‘apple-pie” order!
evidently onr chairman Iias not been
idle. The colored cemetery wo found
remarkably dean and free from under
brash, the gate locked and the fence
in good order. The gardens in the up
per section of town show that their
owners appreciate the fact that times
are hard, and intend to make the soil
do all it will to help out'the larder.
the evening services, eleven young
persons were confirmed.
—Col. Collins, whilst out driving on
Monday evening, was thrown from
his buggy and somewhat bruised. It
seems his horses took fright at some
objeot in the neighborhood of the
Baptist church, and dashed off. In
attempting to stop them, one rein
K ve way. Considerable damage, we
irn, Was done to the vehicle.
Local Option.—The Local Option
matter is still the theme with some of
onr citizens. The arguments pro and
con ere somewhat varied, both as to
style and weight—some powerful and
to the point, whilst others seem an
those of drowning men “oatching at
straws.” Our individual ideas on the
subjeot do not, probably, agree with
some others; we hold (as does the Ap.
peal) that heavy taxation is a better
plan; bat with this we woald couple
severe penalty for every offense of
drunkenness, or every evil conse
quence of the same—in short, hedge
in the evil with strong measures, and
thus strive to control rather than kill
out. Bnt this is not the issue now bn-
j fore us; the question, ns we nnder-
I stand it, is, Shall liquor be sold by the
drink, or in quantities not less than
three gallons? We hope every man
will weigh the matter well for him*
self, and act as his judgement dictates,
irrespective of the opinions of others.
We earnestly hope that neither side
at issie will resort to unfair means,
and that the result, whatever it may
be, will not cause ill feelings among
onr people.
Christian. Spirit. —She went to
visit her little one’s grave; found her
evergreens scattered, and a goblet
that contained them gone; sought for
it, and fonnd it not very far off filled
with beautiful flowers, adorning the
grave of another. She took a milk
can lying by, filled it with water, and
transfered the contents of thu goblet
to it, and gently returned the flowers
thus removed, to their place, and then
retired to her own lot to repair the
damage done. Query—if it be true
that departed spirits take cognizance
of us here, what must have been the
emotions of the spirit of the ono thus
decorated?
Cemetery.
We do dislike to be forever talking
ing ono thing; bnt “circumstances al.
ter cases.” If goata and cows are to
be allowed to occupy the cemetery at
will, why try to plant any shrubbery
there? Our ladies are devoting much
time and caro now-u-duys towards
beautifying this Bpot, but we fear they
will lose their zeal if something isn’t
done to stop this nuisance.
Rosin and Turpentine.
Now that the Benson for naval stores
will soon be upon ns again, we would
onee more speak of the fine opening;
as we think, for some one with capi
tal to turn au honest penny. We have
conversed with different gentlemen,
who think that a fine business could
be worked np and a handsome profit,
realized by establishing a depot here
for the pnruhaso and shipment of tnr.
pontine and rosin. As we remarked
before, almost every one engaged in
the business wonld prefer selling his
staff here for cash, to waiting the usu
al time for a return from his ship
ments North. We don’t mean a mid*
die man, to handle the staff, and get
his commissions out of it—the produ
cer, mean time, waiting, as before, for
his money—bnt one with the cash in -
hand to pay down for the artioles a*
received. Such an one could be of
benefit to the producer, and at the
same time realize a living profit Who
will occupy the field?
—Mr. Charlie McIntosh and Mrs.
Danguix, all of onr oity, were joined
in holy wedlock Inst week. Next?
