Funeral of Mr. H. M. Boardman.
The funeral of Mr. Henry M. Board
man took place yesterday afternoon at
half-past three o’clock from the Church
of the Atonement. The Mayor and
members of Council acted as pall
bearers. The police force attended in
a body in citizens dress. The Good
Templars, Richmond Lodge, of which
Mr. Boardman was an active member,
with visiting members from other
lodges, also attended in full regalia.
Vagrants.
Three half grown negroes, named
Enoch McGee, James Alfred and Reu
ben Davis, who have for some time
past been loafing about the streets,
looking like the last roses of Summer
left blooming alone by themselves,
were up before Judge Snead yesterday
on the charge of vagrancy, and being
convicted, were accorded the privilege
of working twelve months at Halla
han’s brick yard.
Dr. Hicks.
The Albany (Ga.) Central City thus
speaks of a distinguished clergyman,
now a member of the Florida Legisla
ture :
We do not endorse the wholesale de
nunciations by the press of Rev. Dr.
W. Watkin Hicks, strangely, it is true,
a member of the present Florida Leg
islature. The liberty taken with per
sonal character, by many of the press
gang, in these days, we consider unau
thorized and reprehensible. We do
not know enough of Dr. Hicks to de- 4
fend him against the present assaults
he is receiving, but we believe them
unjust and unmerited. We cannot
think him a bad man.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The 80th Annual Meeting Held Last
Night.
The 80th annual meeting of the Au
gusta Fire Department was held last
night at the City Hall, Chief Engineer
Frank Smyth presiding.
There was a full attendance of the
members of the various companies
composing the department.
After calling the meeting to order
Chief Smyth called upon the Secre
taries of each company to come for
ward and call their rolls in the follow
ing order, which was done :
Pioneer Hook and Ladder; Washing
ton, No. 1; Clinch, No. 2 ; Vigilant, No.
3 ; Gazelle, No. 4; Augusta, No. 5 ; Blen
nerhassett, No. 6 ; Richmond, No. 7 ;
Citizen, No. 8.
Chief Smyth said their Treasurer,
Mr. Anton Iverson, was absent on
account of indisposition, and he
hoped the meeting would excuse
him on that account. The Chief said
he was glad that such a large number
of the members of the Department
were present at this, the 80th an
nual meeting. He congratulated the
Department upon .its prosperity. It
was in better condition than a year
ago, and, he thought, much more ef
ficient. He declared the meeting ready
for business.
The minutes of the last annual
meeting were read and confirmed. The
minutes of the meetings of the officers
of the Department held during the past
year were, on motion, also read—the
question as to whether they should be
read or not being decided in the affirm
ative, by a viva voce vote. The min
utes were all approved after being
read.
REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER.
The report of Chief Engineer Smyth
was read by the Secretary,
[This report was handed to another
reporter for publication, notwithstand
ing the fact that the reporter of the
Constitutionalist had put in his appli
cation for it a month previous, and re
peated the request several times after
ward, and even asked for it just before
the meeting.l
ENGINES AND FIRE APPARATUS.
The report of the Committae on
Engines and Fire Apparatus was next
read.
| This report was also given to the
other reporter, and the Constitution
alist did not have a chance at it.] .
FINANCES.
The report of the Treasurer, Mr.
Anton Iverson, was read, showing a
balance on hand of §22.20.
The Finance Committee reported
that the accounts of the Treasurer had
been examined and were found to be
correct. The committee recommended
that the City Council be requested to
take charge of the fireman’s section in
the City Cemetery, and also pay for
lighting and cleaning the hall in which
the annual meetings were held. The
recommendation was adopted, but
afterward, on motion of Mr. M. M. Hill,
of Gazelle, No. 4, it was decided that
Mr. M. J. Deween, Keeper of the City
Hall, should be paid §5 by the Depart
ment for attending to the room in
which the Department meetings were
held.
COMMITTEES APPOINTED.
—The Chief announced the committees
appointed as follows:
On Engines and Apparatus—Chair
man, Capt. H. C. Foster, of Gazelle, No.
4; Captain Owen Conlon, of Au
gusta, No. 5; Ist Lieutenant A. Hen
derson, of Vigilant, No. 3 ; First Lieu
tenant J. Guisendaffer, of Blennerhas
set, No. 6 ; Ist Lieutenant Wm. David
son of Citizen, No. 8.
On Finance—-Capt. E. T. Miller, of
Vigilant, No. 3; Capt. Geo. P. Weigle,
of Washington, No. 1; Ist Lieutenant
E. D. Calvin, of Clinch, No. 2 ; Ist Lieu
tenant Scully, of Richmond, No. 7 ; Ist
Lieutenant G. W. Winkler, of Pioneer.
The Chief stated that Capt. Dennis
Owens was Chairman of the meeting
for the nomination of Department offi
cers, on the second Friday in March,
the election taking place on Friday
night, previous to the last Saturday
night in the same month.
THANKS.
The Chief said he desired before the
call of the roll to return thanks to the
Mayor and City Council for the as
sistance rendered the Department in
furnishing it with everything needed.
Also to thank his Assistants, Messrs.
Moore and Hanlon, Secretary W. H.
Crane, and Treasurer Iverson, for the
assistance they afforded him in the
discharge of his duties as Chief.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Capt. George P. Weigle, of Washing
ton No. 1, called attention to the fact
that the Constitution and By-Laws of
the Department were defective, in that
they did not provide for the filling of a
vacancy caused by the resignation of
either of the chief officers of the De
partment—by appointment ’or other
wise.
Pending the discussion of this sub
ject, the meeting on motion adjourned.
Mrs t Maas.
Mrs. Maas, with Jas. Maas, gave a
most pleasant entertainment at Gir
ardey’s Opera last night, supported by
the other members of the troupe, who
acted well. The bad weather had the
effect of causing only a small audience
to be present. Notwithstanding this
fact, the performance was one which
served to entertain all those present
and make them wish there was more
of it.
Mrs. Mass in her caricatures, and
Mr. Mass in negro delineations, are
calculated to “bring down the house”
wherever they appear.
We can say that Mr. Mass has a
treasure in his wife, who is a Southern
woman “all over,” having been born
and raised in Texas and understands
the political situation and the female
side of the woman question as well
as the best of the opposite sex,
though she is womanly and domestic
in her habits as far as it is possible for
one who travels as much as she does
in her profession.
We commend Mrs. Mass to our
brethren of the press in the South. We
learn that this lady contributes to the
the Sunny South, published at Atlanta,
and other literary papers.
WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY.
Arrangements for the Celebration of
the Day. Parade of the Augusta
Volunteer Battalion. .
To-morrow (Monday), the 22d of
February, is the anniversary of the
birth of George Washington, the “Fa
ther of his Country,” the first President
of the United States. *
A PARADE.
The day will be celebrated in Au
gusta by a parade, at 3 o’clock in the
afternoon, of the Augusta Volunteer
Battalion, with the Richmond Hussars.
The battalion is now in splendid order,
each of the companies having a full
membership, and finely uniformed and
armed. The parade will be the main
feature of the celebration of the day.
A BALL.
Washington Fire Company, No. 1,
named for the first President, will
celebrate their anniversary at night
with a ball at Spaeth’s Hall. Tickets
to the ball can be obtained at §2 each.
• Fine Meat.
Mr. T. E. Lawrence, at the Lower
Market, continues to preserve his re
putation for fine meat. His beef, mut
ton and corned-beef cannot be excelled.
Fresco Painting.
Mr. Gustav Schneiker gives notice
this morning that he is prepared to do
fresco painting, with the guarantee of
giving satisfaction to all who may fa
vor him with their patronage.
Fine Oil Paintings.
Attention is directed to the adver
tisement of the sale of fine oil paint
ings, at Masonic Hall, by Messrs. Blg
non & Crump, on Tuesday and Wed
nesday nights next. The collection is
a very choice one.
Prompt Payment.
The insurance on the property of Dr.
W. C. Wardlaw, whose office was lately
burned, was paid sixty days before it
was due, upon proof of loss, by Messrs.
J. V. H. Allen & Cos., agents of the In
surance Company of North America.
This company is among the best in the
United States, having a large surplus,
and their agents are substantial men,
who can assure the insured of pay
ment in case of loss.
Free Lance Items.
Thermometer yesterday afternoon,
48 degrees.
Considerable interest appeared to be
taken in the Fire Department meeting
last night.
The wood business has been quite

The card of W- W. Smythe, Esq., at
torney at law, appears in our advertis
ing columns this morning, to which we
direct the those who have
law business on hand. Mr. Smythe is
Justice of the Peace for the 122d Dis
l rict, G. M., and has of late disposed of
a number of important cases. He is
prepared to take charge of all cases
entrusted to him.
Mr. John Quinn has opened a fruit
and cigar store on Jackson street,
nearly opposite the Constitutionalist
office and is doing a fine business. He
has favored us with specimens of the
fruit he has on sale which we must
and shall pronounce as good as the
best.
The Washington Gazette regrets
that the lien law was not re-enacted,
and says small farmers will be dam
aged in consequence. As the General
Assembly is run by the Grangers, it is
rather singular they did not know
what was best for their own interests.
If they disregard them in this instance
they did so unintentionally.
Many men complain of'being “too
poor to take a newspaper,” but they
contrive to be rich enough to squander
a good deal of cash in debatable ways.
The editor of the Rural New Yorker
put the case in this way to a patron
who ordered his paper stopped because
he was too poor to pay for it:
The Atlanta correspondent of the
Savannah Advertiser thus speaks of
the debate on th Homestead bill:
The “Homestead bill”—reducing the
value of homestead from $3,000 to
“§7OO of realty and §3OO of personal
ty”—came next, and brought out a
number of good speakers. There were
motions to amend, table and postpone,
but it was very unexpectedly carried
bv even more sjian the two-thirds ma
jority, which, being a constitutional
amendment, it required. Mr. Walsh, of
Richmond, favored indefinite postpone
ment, not that he was opposed to the re
duction of the homestead, but thought
it a matter that could be settled satis
factorily only by a constitutional con
vention, and therefore best left for its
action. The convention is Mr. Walsh’s
hobby, aud he proposes it as a sort of
panacea for every political ill. Mr.
Warren, of Chatham, thought Air.
Walsh’s speech a very good argument
in favor of the convention, but didn’t
see that it had much to do with the
homestead —and followed in a very
sharp little speech in favor of the re
duction. Whenever Air. Warren isn’t
quite sure of his logic and his wit, he
always reinforces himself with a few
statistics, which generally wins his
battles for him. He had discovered on
this occasion that there wasn’t proper
ty enough in the State of Georgia to
allow §3,000 to every head of a family
—the average being a little over §1,300,
and from that fact drew his conclu
sions.
The deliberations of the Bachelors’
Club were brought to a sudden and
ignominious concl'usion the other night,
in consequence of the discovery of a
hair-pin clinging confidingly to the
coat collar of the President.
“Suppose we make a bargain,” said
the editor, “in this way: Go home aad
select a hen, that shall be called my
hen ; sell the eggs that the hen lays
during the year, and send the proceeds
to me as your suusoription to the
paper.”
The farmer was pleased at so easy a
way to pay for his paper and readily
consented. The result was that during
the year the hen paid for the paper its
regular price of subscription.
The comment upon this, which is by
no means pure fiction, is given as fol
lows by one of our contemporaries :
Almost every one wants and throws
away more than enough money during
the year to get a weekly or daily news
paper that would furnish him with in
tellectual food, and keep him posted in
the busy, stirring events of the day. A
very small retrenchment in the luxu
ries that almost every one indulges in
would secure a weekly visitor full of
gossip about the doings of the great
world around us ; full of stirring events
in the history that is every day being
made in our own country, and full of
useful general information and facts in
literature, science and art. Besides it
is the duty of the people to sup
port the press, for it has stood
as a grand bulwark between them
and political and military op
pression, it has sounded the notes of
warning that has often aroused them
to action ; it has stripped the borrow
ed cloak from corruption and venality
in high places ajxd showed them in all
their deformity, and is to-day the
great friend of education, justice, re
ligion and peace. The press speaks
everywhere, at all times, carrying light
in places where otherwise perpetual
darkness would reign. And when we
remember what the world would be
without the press ; how darkness, ig
norance, vice and oppression would
flourish unopposed, let no one any
longer say that he is too poor to take
a newspaper.
Observing the Sabbath.
The following story is published by a
Connecticut paper :' “ There lived in
New Haven county, a few years ago, a
man whoso wife, Tabathy, was widely
known for her strictness in observing
the Christian Sabbath, as he was for
his remarkable patience in bearing
with some of her unpleasant ways.—
One Sabbath morning a barrel of flour
stood in the front hall which had been
left there late Saturday evening, which,
to the good old man, seemed to be in
the way, and that it would not be very
wrong to put it in its proper place be
fore going to church. So after break
fast was over he proceeded quietly so
roll the barrel to its place, which was
up one flight of stairs. No sooner had
he reached the stairs and eommenced
to ascend, than his wife came out and
forbid him going any further, declar
ing if he did that God would withdraw
His blessing from them, and the whole
blame would rest upon liis conscience.
After pausing a moment to think he
resolved to proceed, and let the conse
quences be what they would. Having
succeeded in getting it half way up the
stairs, Tabathy determined to have it
her way, as usual, reached up and took
hold of his feet, pulling thorn from un
der him, when he aud his barrel of
flour came to the bottom, causing the
head of the barrel to come out, cover
ing him with the contents. As soon as
the poor man could remove the flour
from his head sufficient to speak, lie
looked up to his wife meekly and
penitently aud said : “ Tabathy, let us
pray.”
A young bride, who had been fash
ionably educated, was asked by her
husband to attend to the ordering of
the dinner. It is a fact that she bland
ly requested the butcher to sblid home
a “leg of tongue, seventeen pounds of
steak, and two halibut.”
We hear of a party who can see the
Brooklyn Court House from the roof
of his residence, and ever since the
trial began he has been sitting on that
roof, watching the prooceedings with
intense anxiety.
Josh Billings says : “ If yu are going
to giv a man enny thing, giv it to him
cheerfully and quick ; don’t make him
get down on his kueeze in front of yu,
and listen to the ten commandments,
and then give him five cents.”

THIS FALL, (NOT OLD STOCK,)
BY EDWARD BARRY, M. D,
PRAOTICAL AN RAL CHEMINT.
SOLD BY
EDWARD BARRY & CO.,
288 Broad. Street, J Augusta, Gra.
THE EVIDENCE presented in the statements of the respectable and intelligent plant
ers of the surrounding counties will satisfy Southern men that this CONCENTRA
TED CHEMICAL FERTILIZER may claim to be equal, if not superior to any In the
market; that being composed of a base of raw-bone, decomposed with Sulphuric Acid,
and a combination of Chemicals, it is devoid of the enormous amount of inert matter
which all Phosphate Rock preparations must contain; and that it presents the best
guarantee of a large profitable return, as testified to by all who have used it. We refer
to our Pamphlets for this evidence, as it is too voluminous for our advertisement. The
preparation Is varied in composition to meet the condition of the two great classes of
our soils:
Our C. FERTILIZER adapted to Clay Soils.
Our G. FERTILIZER adapted to Sandy Soils.
