W. A. JOHNSON,
Ayers’ old Stand.
—We see again on onr streets, our
townsman H. T. Dunn, who has been
North for a short time.
—The recent rains have increased
the whortleberry crop, and our berry
hunters are happy. The last brought
to market are fine.
—For several day past, Mr. G. W.
Fahm of this city has been lying ex
tremely ill. No hopes are entertained
for his recovery.
—Is it that onr colored people have
more energy or more money?—They
seem to be the ouJy ones doing any
building around town. They deserve
credit.
—“Northern hay” is what a Mend
claims to be raising in his garden be"
tween his corn rows. The yield will
be fine, we think, but can’t say much
for the corn.
—Among the strangers in onr city
for a week past, we wore pleased to
meet Mr. Amos Morse of Alabama, who
was here on a visit to his sisters, M s
C. F. and W. J.‘ Way.
—We must again remind some onr
delinquents that they have failed to
hand us their subscription for the pa'
per for the first volume.
Subscriptions of nearly all for the
2nd year are now due. If yon hav°
not settled, please do so.
—The magnificent high tides for
the past few days, oocuring just about
the rising and setting of the sun, offe r
delightful opportunities to those wish
ing to indulge in a salt water bath-
Numbers, we find, are availing them*
selves.
—An election for Alderman to fill
vacancy occasioned by resignation of
I. N. Shannon is called for July 1st.
Truly hope onr people will not lie id *
in this matter, but b? up and around,
looking out a good man. We need
such now as much as ever.
—Grubb, of the Gazette, wants a
railroad to Darien, You are right,
brother; your place is a hard one t 0
get to and from. Railroad communi
cation with the outer world would
bring many things within your reach.
The morals of your town, however,
would have it to pay for—those circus,
es, yon know, and such like.
—We note with pleasure the present
arrangement of our Post Office. Mi”
N. is now ready to serve the public
not only with their mail, but anything
wanted in the stationary lino. Friend
Snow, too, ever obliging, stands ready
to assist, and also to furnish you with
a fine Havanna of excellent flavor—
remember, however, the ladies request
that you do not spit on the floor.
—We again offer our colums to the
public for communications of a gener
al character looking to the good of our
place, county, or section. Ventilate
your ideas; give your neighbor th e
benefit of your thought. All of our
exchanges come to ns teeming with
communications from citizens, aU
looking to the general good. Wake
np then, Glynu countians, and do
likewise.
—That subscriber who agreed to
pay for his paper “in rice when bar,
vested,” to-lay informs us that hi 8
rice crop was so poor and the season
so fine for “slip taters,” that he had
ploughed up his rice and planted “ta.
ters.” So there go our hopes for an
other twelve months to come,
—Oar city has been decked for the
past two weeks in her richest dress.
The fine showers we have had have
washed away the dust and put new
life in every article of vegetation.
As we strolled around town a few
afternoons since and enjoyed the see*
nery, we were vain enough to say*
Surely there is none fairer than on r
•‘City by the Sea.” Our groves and
grass plats are truly elegant.
—The brig Laura Gertrude, of the
Littlefield <fc Tison packet line to New
York, arrived in port a few days since
with her usual good freight, and wilj
soon be off again with a full cargo of
ship stores, etc. Messrs. L. & T., we
think, merit all the patronage they re
ceive, and much more, too, for it is to
such men we must look to build up a
business for us at this point. Whilst
others have croaked, they have work"
| ed, hence the difference.
j Light.—It is claimed that “light
, comes from the East," but with th e
| present “light” before ns, we should
j say that a few rays are now about to
I proceed from the North—at least, we
1 so judge from preparations he is ma
king in front of the Post Office to-day,
;n the shape of a new street lamp.
Fire Company.
The Oceanics turned out in force
last Monday evening for drill, and pre.
si-nted quite a pleasing spectacle.—
their fiery suits contrasting well with
the rich green drapery of Nature every
where visible.
We wish our colored citizens would
organize a company and secure on en
gine, for they would take great pride
in it, we believe, and muster strong >
and should the dread monster ever
call them forth, they would render
most excellent service and be a real
credit to our growing city. Come,
what say our colored citizens to thj 8
move?
Entertainment at Mrs. Barku-
loo’s.
“Man proposes but God disposes”
of events. This was truly verified last
evening in the matter of the above en.
tertainment. The good ladies of the
“Presbyterian Aid Society” had made
ample preparations, and a large num.
her of citizens were “booked” for the
evening, but just us n igbt came on, a
dark cloud sprang up in the East and
soon spread over the entire heavens-
Tho rain soon began to desceud f
which made things rather damp for
the average pleasure seeker. Quite a
nice little party assembled, however,
and had a nice time, doing all in their
power to keep the delicious cream
from spoiling. The ladies could not
have found a more* suitable place for
their little party, the house being so
well adapted to the work.
‘‘Give the Devil his Due.”
So we say to the unbelievers who
sourly hinted that the article in on r
last, signed “Devil," was not gotten
up by the lad, but written by another
and published for effect. Not so, ye
cionkers; he wrote not only that bnfc
others, without even a suggestion
from any one. Give him his due.
Inflation vs. Inflation.
In a lengthy article of our contem
porary of the Appeal of June 17th, he
talks up inflation big and strong, urg
ing it as the measure to bring about the
solution of our great financial troubles.
He contends that there is not enough
money in the land for the wants of the
people. Now brother, right there we
don’t agree. You cry for inflation of
Greenbacks—we cry for inflation of
goods. Just, give us more for our
money, and the great end is achieved.
These things are settling themselves.
A few years ago, when money was
plentiful, calico was 15cts. per yard,
now money is scarce and yon can get
the same article at Bets. This is the
idea. Inflate the goods—not the mon
ey;—encourage our people to produc e
more, and we would all soon find mon
ey plentiful, for a dollar would then
get considerably more than it does
now.
We are “agin” inflation (of Green
backs, we mean). We have passed
through one season of it in our life,
and don't wish any more. We stil]
have visions of ’64 and ’66. when Con
federate money was so plentiful that
everybody had great rolls and wads of
it stuffed about their clothes. Noth,
ing, at all, pretended to sell for less
than $1.00, and the simplest commod
ities brought $100.00. Now we fear a
repetition of this, or something akin
to it, in case of inflation of Green
backs, hence onr cry for inflation of
goods instead.
Presidential.
1
Hays, of Ohio, for President, and
WheeJer, of New York, for Vice Pres*
ident, are the nominees of the Repub
lican party for the coming campaign.
It is thought there will be a tight race
if the Democrats get out good men.
We are not prophet enough to say who
will come out ahead, but feel sure of
one thing: In either event, our polit.
ical condition wilt be fur better than
New Advertisements.
