COMFORT.
Why hare Corns and Bunions
on your feet, and thus suffer un
told agonies! Call around and
let me take your measure, and
put you up a pair of Uooh or
shoes on my new Patent Lasts.
W. A. JOHNSON,
Ayers’ old Stand.
— In the language of the renowned
poet, “It’s mighty warm these days. ’
—Three cases of sunstroke, or rath-
prostration from heat, in town last
Thursday,
—A little weed chopping in the
white cemetery would add much to its
appearance. Marshal your forces, Mr.
Chairman.
—Have you seen the latest “agony -1
—the Centennial pencil? It will write
any color desired. Call at the Post
Oifice and see one.
The very latest agony—The Spir
it of 1876.—An umbrella-covered
drayman! Bnt, Sam, did it ever oc
cur to you that you were selfish about
it? Tic one over‘ Old Bay's” head,
too.
—Small excursions are now the or
der of the day. .Big ones seem to have
lost favor, and justly so, we think.
—Turn loose the pigs, City Fathers,,
or else ordinance the melon rinds. Too
many of them rotting aroand the
streets for hot weather.
—8125,000 is the amount ho says he
is going to draw in a certain lottery.
His good wife is to huve $25,000 of it
to go to Centennial with.
—We learn that the Western and
Union Telegraph Company have leas
ed the Southern k Atlantic Telegraph
Line, and have closed the office iu tbit
place.
—Rev. E. A. Mickle will preach a
sermon for children and young people
especially, next Sabbath, at the Pres
byterian Church. The public gener
ally will be welcome, and seats free.
—Don’t take our word for it, but go
around yourself to the City Hotel and
try a few of Fa bin’s choice brands of
cigai-s. They are well flavored, and no
mistake.
—We omitted to mention last week
that Mr. J. R. Bostwick had been el
ected to fill the place of Alderman I.
N. Shannon, resigned. A good selec
tion, we think.
—A large alligator, seven feet and
six inches long, was killed last week
by Mr. W. W. Watkins near his place
in Dixville. He had quit the creek
and was making for the hammock, in
search of fresh watei-, probably.
—Judge Marlin, appreciating the
value of printers’ ink, offers you this
week, through our columns, certain
specialties of his. Read his advertise
ment, and, if you want anything in
his line, call on him withoat delay.
—Mr. Hoyt showed us yesterday a
new cooking stove just received by his
firm. It is called the “Brunswick
Range,” and some of the improve
ments connected with it are Mr. H’s-
own invention- Call and see it-
—We don’t love to hear new begin*
ners blow, bnt are glad to know that
the “Silver Cornet Band” is about to
make itself heard once more. The
new “blowists” seem to be in earnest-
Harry up, gentlemen, and mount the
rostrum.
—Darien excursionists play mumble-
peg. Healthy exercise for dry weath
er.
—On Monday lint, a terrible explo*
.-ion occurred at the mill of Buchan
an & Smith, at Waresboro on the B-
& A- R- R , making a perfect wreck of
the whole mill. The dome boiler, we
understand, was thrown 290 feet in
the air, but, strange to say, no one
was killed- The fireman was very bad
ly scalded and a few others slightly- So
far os we can learn, no one knows the
cause of the accj^ent. At the time of
its occurrence, a train was backing
down on the sidetrack to get a load of
lumber, and a few moments luter, it,
too, would have b. en exposed to the
danger.
It will bo remembered that the
Smith of the above is our Mr- J- D.
Smith, of tho Brunswick House- He
has only recently gone into the above
copartnership. We fear his loss is
heavy.
—Eight vessels In port as we go to
press. This gives a new'impe tus to
business. ..... .
—Our delegates to the Democratic
Senatorial Convention .at St, .Marys
jeft yesterday afternoon. Hope a good
man will be nominated. v • —
—The schooner J. M. Richards from
Havana, bound for Philadelphia, an,]
loaded with molasses, came into our
port a few days since in distress and
was quarantined. One man had died
at sea and others wt re sick. Getting
medical attention, a fresh supply of
provisions and water, she put to sea
again yesterday.
Gubernatorial.—Hardeman having
retired from the contest, Colquit. is
left alone, ut least, with very little op
position. Our devil don’t think Mr.
Jeems would do at all. He (Mr. J.)
proposes to be doing a great deal for
morals and religion, and yet tried hard
to make all Atlanta drank, a short
time since. These two things, our
devil thinks, don’t dove-tail.
Handsome Men.—Col. Jack fimith,
the handsomest man in the State, has
been re-elected President of the Glynn
Connty Democratic Club. Major Jim
F. Nelson, the next handsomest, was
re-elected Vice-President.—Gazette.
Wrong aghin, brotliei- G. At the re
cent election of the Odd Fellows for
the handsomest man, the race was be
tween Col. Jack Smith and friend
Watkins. The latter beut the race 3
to 1 uearlv. As for “Major Jim,” he
is acknowledge by all to bo better
looking than either of them.
Zion Association (Colored).—This
association met on Thursday lust in
the Shiloh Baptist Church of this city.
There were seventy-five delegates
present, representing about fifty
churches, extending over an area of at
least a third of the State. Among the
ministers present, we saw several
whose personal appearance and gener
al bearing marked them as represent
ative men of that body—among them,
the Moderator, Rev. Ulysses Houston.
He .converses freely," and, Although
.not a man of very high education, ev
idently made-good use of what advan
tages Be did have. The meeting ad
journed Sabbath' night.
Wanted. —Any - " person ownlng a
small place near this city, and on some
salt stream, might find a purchaser for
the same, if desired, by enquiring i.t
ibis office.
New Advertisements.
Hoe and Plow combined.—We
were shown by His Honor Judge Jno.
L. Harris, a few days since, this new
invention of Parson Thomas, of Way-
cross, Ga. It resembles, some what,
a long pronged rake, only the prongs
are curved and flattened at the end,
like a plow. On the opposite side of
the handle is a single prong or plow,
for running trenches, etc. It is quite
a neat arrangement, and, in our judg
ment, well calculated to do the work
desired.

Shooting.—Some folks seem to have
a way of trying to enjoy what - other
people make, without pay, compensa
tion, or even permission. One of these
light Angered gentry, thinking to pos
sess himself of one of neighbor Bolt’ 4
watermelons, lost week, entered his
track garden and started off with the
coveted treasure, but, to bis astonish*
uent, found the air filled with smaT
shot. The melon was left behind with
six shot in it. How many he carried
off in his clothes is not known.
