—Rattlesnakes plentiful—three kill
ed last week near town.
—Parents, see to it that your chil
dren have their badges on Friday.
—Three vessels arrived in port Sat
urday. Wish business demanded
three new ones every day.
—We learn that Messrs. Dunn &
Cole will soon have their first cargo
of cypress cross-ties off for market,
from their works on the Little Satilla.
—What bos become of the Glynn
Guards? Is it defunct? Can’t it be
resuscitated? The arms are scattered
around, but where are the men? Who
will answer?
—We met Mr. Buscey, the “picture
man,” on our streets a few days since.
He represents things lively in Darien,
where he is now stopping. We recom
mend his work to our Darien friends.
—The Oceanics, we learn, contem
plate an excursion to Darien abont the
15tli inst. We bespeak for them a hap
py welcome and kind treatment at the
hands of the citizens of our sister city.
—Our town was somewhat enlivened
on Monday last by an excursion of
colored folks from Fernandina and St-
Marys. They seemed to have enjoyed
themselves very much.
—The meetings at the Baptist
Church by the young revivalist, Rev.
Mr., Faekler, still- continue. He has
been holding open-air meetings, also-
We attended one of these last Sabbath
afternoon, on the Bay. About two
hundred people were present, white
and colored, and the best of order pre
vailed.
—Ten or a dozen schools in town,
and yet we see numbers of children
running around loose. Parents, you
may regret this some day. If one
school don’t suit you, try another,
but, by all means, keep your boys out
of the streets. Curtail somewhere else,
and not at your child’s expense.
—If times are dull, why keep on
such an awfully long face? Wake up,
man! Stir around and fix you up a
new sidewalk in front of your place of
business, and put up a new sign like
the hardware firm. Then bring us in
yonr advertisement and subscribe for
the Advertiser, and—and be
happy.
—We hear a rumor to the effect that
the good people of St. Marys contem.
plate an excursion to Cumberland on
Friday, 5tli inst., and that the same
steamer will come on to B. to take
down parties from here to the same
point. A happy thought that; our
young people can thus have a uleasant
trip, and get acquainted with their
neighbors at the same time.
—Savo up your spare change, ye
lovers of good things, against the La
dy Washington Tea-PaTty to be given
by the Presbyterian ladies. The old
“Gineral” will be on hand, and no
mistake, and Mrs. “Gineral” and the
little “Gineral,” and that said hatchet
that slaughtered the old gentleman’s ,
peach, plum, apple, cherry, or pear
tree, as the case may be. A good time
we look for. ’
—He sent back his paper, and now
regularly every Wednesday morning
slips around to his conscientious neigh
bor and borrows the Advertiser!
May the sandflies bite him, the fleas
torment him, the roaches orawl over
him when he is asleep, and the daring
mosquito sing lullabies all around his
ears from dewy eve till early morn;
may jiggers get in his toes, “grey-
backs” in his clothes, cuckle-burs in
his wool, gnats in his eyes, and spi
ders in his dumplings; may all these
evils befall him, and even more until
he shall have repented of this awful
sin and changed his tactics. After
that, may he prosper continually.
Y. M. P. M.—We are pleased to learn
that efforts are being made to establish
and maintain a Young Man's Prayer
Meeting in our town. The hall has
been put in motion, and meetings are
being held at the M. E. Church every
Wednesday night. We hope the
movement will be entered into with
proper spirit, and be the means of ac
complishing much good among that
class of our people in whom we all
feel a deep interest—the young and
rising generation. Remember, it is to
our boys we look for the weal or woe
of our land and country.

The high and low, the rich and poor*

“Watchman, what of the night?’’
Does the morning dawn? Is there,
indeed, a ray of light striving to pene
trate this pall of ■ corruption’s night,
lift the mantle and, as if by magio
touch, bring to life the decaying
corpse?
O, shades of the great and good in
all ages and in every sphere in life,
look down upon those who would fain
- fill your places! How far short they
do come! and yet we are told that thi 8
glorious 19th century outstrips every
thing that has passed; we grant it, but
in only one particular—universal cor
ruption. Nor is this confined to poli.
tics alone, but extends through every
branch of society, even to the church
itself. Nothing seems too pure for
its unhallowed touch. Ministers of
the Gospel and high church officials
have fallen a prey to the surging tide
and gone under in disgrace. Well
might we all ask whither are wc tend
