—Who will furnish us a recipe for
the prevention of blight in bunch
grapes?
—With calicoes at 7Jets, per yard,
the man that can’t buy his wife a
frock had better “play quits”—so
think the merchants.
—Well, from present appearances,
the Bank “has busted” and the Tan
nery is out of bark. Lead in another
pony, the show must go on!
—See new advertisement of W. A-
Johnson in this issue. We have tried
a pair of shoes made on these lasts,
and must pronounce them comforta
ble.
—Why go panting along the streets
these hot days with nostrils dilated
and tongue dry, when Leben offers
you delicious ice-cold soda water with
fresh cream?
—The steamship Corondelette, Capt.
Faircloth, paid us another visit last
week on regular time, taking on the
usual supply of vegetables and other
freight.
—The Baptist Sunday School of
‘this city will have a picnic on Satur
day next. School to assemble at the
Baptist Church at 9 a m. The public
are invited.
—Parties from the Interior are tur
ning their steps toward the sea coast
as the warm weather advances. One
party went to Cumberland last week*
We presume others will soon follow.
—Our colored citizens, under the
auspices of L. B. Toomar lodge, es
corted to Fernnndina last Monday.
We hope they had a good time, and
that the affair was a success finan
cially.
—Are you without a timepiece, and,
consequently, alway late at church?
If so, go right straight to jeweler Wm.
Doerflinger, next door to tho Post
Office, and treat yourself to one of
those handsome clocks he is now offer
ing at close figures.
—Here is the definition given by a
distinguished legal gentleman of a
sensible farmer:
“A man who stays at homo and
plants corn, peas and potatoes, and
raises his own meat.”
Go to bed, Webster.
—She keeps the AdvEBTiSER on file,
and when her husband gently hinted
that “times were hard, wouldn’t it be
best to curtail by discontinuing”
well, suffice it to say,
she still reads the Advertiser. May
Big Melon Patch.—We hear of a
40 acre watermelon patch on St. Si
mons Island, besides smaller ones-
Th eso, together with numbers of otli.
ers of smaller dimensions in and around
town, ought surely to he enough to
satisfy the craving of a few, at least,
melon lovers.
Negro Brass Band.—The instrir
ments for the colored band have ar.
rived. A small sum, however, is lack
ing to meet the amount of the bill,
which the members are trying to get
up by subscription. Let every on 0
who can lend a helping hand and give
them all the encouragement they
need. They will, no doubt, mak® am
ple returns in the way of music.
Tough but True.—She went to her
neighbor's chicken-coop, lifted “Old
Speckle” off the nest, and carried the
eggs down town and sold them. Find
ing the next day that she was suspect,
ed, went and bought back tho same
eggs and put them under “Old Speck
le.”
Later.—After two weeks, “Old
Speckle” presents her owner with a
dozen fine young ckicken—none the
worse for their twelve hour trip down
town in the form itive state. How
is this for chickenolocy.
To Subscribers.—We find on our
books the name3 of a few parties who,
somehow, have forgotten that they
have been reading the Advertiser for
twelve months withont sending ns
that small amount—$1.00—subscrip
tion for the same. Hope they wont
forget it much longer—not that we
cure so much about the money, you
know, but we love to have a high opin
ion of everybody. We find, also, a
feiv stray charges for advertisements
unsettled. If these are not arranged
soon, we fear the Centennial will
close before we be able to start
thither.

- Marshall Hums requests that wo
inform that “friend” who wanted to
know where he was a week ago last
Saturday and Snnday night, when
that pistol firing was going on, that
not having the power of ubiquity, he
could be at only one place any given
time. With three croteds. on a “bend
er,” ha could only look after one of
them. Says he only got ten out of the
number.
Saws. —See card of Mr. J. M. Dex,
ter in this issue. The companies he
represents are first class, and their
goods as warranted. The saws put up
by the first two companies are already
in general use in this section. Thos®
of R. Hoe & Co. are something later,
and pronounced by competent men as
possessing superior advantages, nei
ther filing nor gumming being nec
essary in their use, besides the great
ease with which the teeth are taken out
and replaced, there being no rivet.
We take pleasne in recommending
Mr. Dexter and the companies he rep
resents to all mill men.
His Babbitt metal is, we believe, all
he claims for it.
Strange Conduct.
Last Friday night, ns Captains Lee
and Tilton (whose vessels are now in
port, loading with lumber) were pass
ing the street lamp in the grove near
the City Hall, they were nccosted thus
by two men a short distance off: “Oh
yes! yon are visiting our girls, eh?”
Immediately after, one of them fired
a pistol. Capt. T. drew his pistol a 8
soon os possible, and fired several
shots at them as they ran away,
Now, we can’t conceive any reason
for such strange conduct on the part
of those unknown persons. They ev
idently did not mean to kill either o f
these gentlemen. We are of the opin
ion that they were only striving to
scare them a little, feeling somewhat
jealous of their popularity with the
fair damsels of our town. It seem 8
the captains have been having a pret
ty good time with the girls since they
have been in port, and our home lads
don’t like it much.
Come, hoys, don't be naughty. Yo u
have got tne inside track in the mat
ter; tho captains will soon be gone and
lad and lassie will be as happy togeth
er as ever. We advise you, however^
to he careful whom you try to scare.
Some folks have a strauge way, you
observe, of showing their fright.
ATTENTION.
A meeting of the Stockholders of
the Bathing House is called for Mon
day night next (May 29th), at Capt.
Dure’s store on the Bay. A full meet
ing is desired.
