Editor Bainbridgc Sim : Dkar Sir : lu reply to a “local* in a late edition of your cotemporary, the Argue concerning the series of entertainments to be given lor the beueftt of Stonewall Fire Company No. 1, I have to state that owing to sickness iu some, business engagements in others ; and a lack of the proper interest and energy in many otheis, the effort to gel lip these entertainments thus far has been crowned with Bainbridge success. (Don’t tel! the outside world that that means total failure.) To those ladies and gentlemen who cheerfully came forward, and with un tiring energy and perseverance endeavored to perfect themselves in their respective parts so as to make the entertainments worthy in every way the patronage of the citizens, irrespective of the claims of chari ty, I tender them my most sincere thunks, but to those who, wheu nights of practice and rehearsal came around had an “extra fine segar to smoke with a friend,” or a “pet game of billiards to be played,” “or better than all, “the girls had to be called upon, and of course they could not Attend. J shall leave them to the tender mercies of thefr coociences and to the Stonewall boys at whose request the entertainments were to be given. It seems to me Mr. Editors that the curse of your town is a lack of energy, to improve or be improved, a want of proper determination to accomplish some thing in rhental, moral and physical cul ture. Sometime siuce a Lyceum was or ganised where the mind could be fully sup plied with its proper food, but sad to say, it fell an untimely victim to “Bainbridge success.” Your Base-bait Club 1 Where is it?

Echo, answers, where ? And now comes the Mon umental Society of Decatur county, formed in a fit of patriotic enthusiasm in one of the churches of your town, to raize a monument to the memores of the lallen braves of* the county who lost their lives in defence of all that human can cajl dear. What has become of it ? Two years have nearly passed since that Society was formed aiid not a solitary thing has been done doritog that time towards the accomplishment of the grand object of its fonnatiou. Is this right? lathis patriotism? Is this hone orabie ? this digression from my first object in addressing you, but this place ia fast becoming notorious lor its unparal leled snccess in failures, and I could pot re sist the temptation of piaking a »ote of it. In conclusion, let me say to your fellow** citizens, that it is high time they were “getting out of the woods v and doing Some thing more than has been done yet, then neither I nor future correspondents will have cause to find fault with them.
