—Tomatoes will soon be ripe.
—In response to our call last week,
a parasol and dish have been left at
our office. Call and claim them.
—Leap Year Centennial Surprise
Parties on board different vessels in 1
port is the latest sensation.
—The Strawberry Festival given by
the Mite Society last week is said to
have been quite an enjoyable affair.
—The bark Frits was towed to Dari
en the day after she was sold, whore
she will be fitted up and take on a
cargo of lumber.
—We hear of complaints on the ice
question—very little in town and at
high prices, also hints of a private
stock company. Nothing like compe
tition.
—From what we hear whispered
around, the next Grand Jnry will “go
for” certain classes and conditions of
men. Wade in gentlemen 1 Wo are
with you.
—See Dissolution notice of L. B.
Davis & Co. Dr. Davis will continue
the business at the old-stand. Dr. Ma.
con, we understand, will open another
drug store in a few days,
—Mr. W. F. Penuiman sent us, last
Monday, a mess of green corn from
his garden in Dixville. Many thanks.
How is this for early, ye up-country
brethren?
— 1 The track of the M. & B. R. R. in
the neighborhood of the depot in this
city has been thoroughly overhauled
and put in apple-pie order, but that
crossing right at the warehouse is still in
a sad plight.
—Our townsman Winton has com.
menced operations on the now Episco
pal church in Darien. Well, its con
soling to know that our sister city ap
preciates the architectural skill of our
mechanics—at least, in church build
ing.
—Catch the spirit, gentlemen, and
lay down sidewalks in front of your
property, as others are doing. Every
such improvement enhances the looks
and comfort of our place, and speaks
volumes to Btrnngers seeking a home.
—The Lady Washington Party at
Rev. Mr. Mickle’s last week was a suc
cess every way. The parts were well
sustained by every one. General and
Lady W. were indeed fine personifica
tions of the originals. The ladies
speak of repeating at an early day.
—A friend wishes to know where
the police force were lost Saturday and
Sunday nights, when our streets were
perambulated by drunken men, and
the lives uf our citizens endangered
by the firing of pistols. We don’t
know who the parties were, and don’t
care to know, nor should it make any
difference to a policeman. Lock np
all offenders, we say, and the nuisance
wont lost long.
—About two hundred feet cf side
walk in the neighborhood of Ward’s
blacksmith shop is the only part of
Bay street from Dnre’s corner to
Mansfield street not yet made firm.
Can’t some steps be taken to plank o?
shell it? This ronte is traveled by a
great many people each day, and sure
ly ought to be fixed.
—Shade trees are of too much vain*
in this climate to have them scorched
and injured, as are those near the City
Hall. If the ordinances of our town
punishes a man for tying his horse to
a shade tree (for fear of detriiqpnt to
the tree), whjre would the party be
placed who deliberately builds a
brush-heap fire underneath one? Is
actual detriment less a crime than sim
ply the possibility of it?
County.—Our county Board of
Commissioners think they have paid
Court House rent about long enough,
so are contemplating building a cheap
but commodious room, with Grand and
Petit Jnry rooms attached. This wo
hold to be wise policy on the part of
these gentlemen. Shoulders to the
wheels, and move the project forward!
: City Finance.—We learn from au
important metnber of the Finance
Committeo that, within the last fifteen
months, almost the entire “floating
debt” of the city has been liquidated-
Hail, glorious day! But oh! Those
bonds! Those bonds! Those bonds!
What about them? Is there no way
to arrange them? Say, City Fathers,
let’s “Homestead.
Misrdor.
On Sunday morning last, a colored
man living st No. 1, M. & B. R. R.,
attempted to chastise his steji-smo
when liis wife, the mother of the boy’
rushed upon l.im and chopped hi 8
bond open with an axe. After the
first flush of anger was over, and she
realized fully what she had done, her
lamentations were said to be great-
She is a sister of the notorious mur
derer Clarence Fort, and is now in
jail, awuiting her trial.
Say it Yourself.
How often we are approuched by
friends and asked why we don’t “pitch
into” this or that fellow for derelic
tion of duty, or this or that nuisance
as the case may be! Now we say to
these friends, our colums are open to
you, and we shall take great pleasur*’
m giving place to any communications
looking to the general good. If you
have any suggestions to make, or
know of any wickedness that ought to
he unearthed, just “say it yourself.’’
Don’t wait for us to hunt up these
things. Besides, it would have more
weight coming from you, as few peo
ple fully appreciate the fact that edit’
oriuls are supposed to represent the
sentiments of the people aud not the
whims of the editor. Then send in
.vour articles, from town or country,
and we will give them space—only

St. Simons Light House.—For two
mouths past hands have been at work
under the supervision of Capt. T. W.
Test, supervisor 6th L. H. District,
overhauling and putting in thorough
order the above light house nnd sur
roundings. The tower has been scraped
and painted inside and out, the plas.
tering of the dwelling has a}l been
pulled down and put up afresh, etc.—
in short, everything put in the best
order, and when completed will be the
finest in the District.

this village, by Rev. W. A. McDonald,
Mr. HENRY LOVE to Miss ARTIA
TOOKE.—Pearson Pioneer.
St. Simons Island.—This spot
seems to be attracting considerable
attention as a vegetable producing dis
trict. Messrs. Howard & Robinson,
James Postell, M. P. King and others
have had such good luck there that
others are contemplating similar proj
ects. We learn that six young men
from Baltimore will probably be down
this fall to engage in the same busi
ness. There is ample room for hun*
dreds of others—“The more the mer
rier,’’ besides “In union there’s
strength.” If sufficient business can
be worked np there in that line, the
greater will be the facilities for ship
ment. We truly hope the citizens on
the Island will offer every inducement
in their power to have these waste
places cultivated and the resources of
our country developed. We predict
for St. Simons a bright future—but
its land owners must not fall into the
grievous error of “chunking off” new
comers with high figures,
