—Corn in silk by one of our citizens.
Who can beat it?
—New Irish potatoes last week by
some of our early folks.
—Ladies wanting visiting cards can
be supplied at this office. Send in
your name and order.
—Cucumbers, squashes, and beans
we hear of in Dixville, but, so far,
have not tasted.
—Naval stores are coming in pretty
fast now. Times ought to brighten
some.
—The man who was so anxions to
catch an old drum is now satisfied'
He is nursing his skinless fingers.
—Having just received a fresh lot of
paper, cards, &c., parties needing any
thing in our line can be supplied at
low figures.
—Representative James Blue aud
Col. Collins were appointed on 22nd
inst., as delegates to the Republican
convention to meet in Atlanta on the
3rd of May.
—Take pity on poor “Tabby,” the
Appeal’s old maid correspondent, ye

dropping of a hat, and drop it herself.
—The steamer Sedgwick, having
finished her contraot, has abandoned
the route from Savannah to Florida,
so we have no line Southward now

—Our cemetery is improving in ap
pearance, almost daily. The less at
tractive among the trees having been
taken out a few years back, the young
oaks are spreading themselves. We
would suggest, however, that the
Chairman on cemetery have the leaves
raked out.
—The railroad crossing on George
street, immediately at the M. & B. R.
R. depot, needs attention. It is much
used, not only by citizens of Dixville
but by driving parties from down-town.
Hope the railroad authorities will give
the matter their attention.

Each school furnished with its appro
priate badge—Catholic, red, Metho
dist, blue, Baptist, yellow, and Pres
byterian, green. The opening exer
cises over, the schools will form pro-
cossion—Catholic 1st, Methodist 2d,
Presbyterian 3rd, and Baptist 4th,
each with banner trimmed with color
of its badge, and march to the grounds
where each school will bo provided
with a separate table to prevent confu
sion. There was no committee pres
ent from the Episcopal school; pre
sume, however, they will unite with
the others.
The limits to which this article most
necessarily be restricted, will fortu"
nately preclude the writer of it from
being betrayed into making any ex*
tended remarks in relation to the im
pressions upon his mind during hi 3
brief stay in this portion of our favor"
ed country.
Brunswick, a place wholly unknown
to ns a fortnight ago, and which we
became acquainted with purely by ac
cident, as it wero, we deem one ol the
most delightfully situated places we
have ever seen, and one that is destin*
ed in the near future to take her plac e
among the most prominent seaports
on the Atlantic board. Situated on a
peninsula, and washed on three Bides
by the waters of the ocean, and those
waters go protected by islands os to af
ford shelter to the feeblest craft, even
though a hurricane was blowing, and
of a depth sufficient to admit the pas
sage of the largest steamers and ves
sels, what ageney or combination of
circumstance# short of the supineness
and indifference of her own citizen 8
can keep her from advancing to the
front and ocenpying the position that
Nature and Providence intended her
to fill?
A belt of pine timber—the best that
earth con produce—extending interi
orly for a distance of over one hun
dred miles, is now affording the mate
rials which are attracting hither many
vessels that sail hence laden with tur.
pentine, resin, lumber, cypress staves,
&c. The business of manufacturing
the above products is yet in its infan
cy, and the supply of material is sim
ply inexhoustable.
The soil of Brunswick, like that to
be found almost everywhere in south
ern Georgia, is of the most productive
character, and anything that can be
produced in Florida may be cultivated
with great success in Brunswick.
A soil and climate in which can be
prodneed oranges, lemons, bananas?
peaches, grapes, figs, and nearly all
the other fruits fonnd in the temper
ate and torrid zones, together with
cotton and most of tho cereals grown
in the Northern states, and vegetables
all the year round, cannot be ignored,
and it is only a question or time, uuu
a short time at that, before the atten.
tion of capitalists will be draw hither,
and the mighty resources of the “City
by the Sea” shall begin to develop and
expand beyond the ken of the mos*
sanguine.
Speaking of the climate, we believe
that all who live in Brunswick, or who
have ever visited her, will agree with
as when we assert that it is unsurpass
ed for healthfulness by that in any
portiion of oar country. A climate that
is only fatal to tho practice of physic
ians needs no eulogy at the hands of
anyone.
The city wbioh is incorporated, con
tains a population of about 2,500
inhabitants, many of whom nro
from tbe Nort h, hut who have adopted
this as their permanent residence.
The city, to the eye of a stranger, pre
sents the appearance of a mngnifieen*'
but somewhat neglected park, which,
with a little attention and some expen
diture might be made one of the love
liest spots on tho face of the earth.
Tho main thoroughfares are ninety
feet wide, and tho majority of them
are fringed by that most beautiful of
all trees, the live oak, with its festoons
and wreaths of moss that produce on
the imagination of the beholder the
possibility that there is something in
the theory of soul-transmigration after
all, and that the Druid and his oak
have at last become a unit.
Of the nu morons marts of trade, tho
hotels, churches, public buildings,
railroads, shipping, &c., we have no
space to speak in this article ,but shall
endeavor to do so at some future time,
and, in the meantime, hope that cir.
cnmstance8 shall so combine os to
identify us more intimately than ever
with the surroundings at which We
have thus briefly glanced.
