Flue Strawberries.
We are indebted to that most inestimable

found bow.
Matrimonial Endow meat Asso

We received a pleasant call yesterday from
Mr. H. N. Crumpton, agent for the above as
sociation, who visits our town for the pur
pose of working up his business. We have
life, fire, and other insuiance companies, and
now we have one that insures a handsome
mm to young people when they enter into the
bonds of malrimany. Policies will be given
for $1,000, $2,000, $3,000 and $4.C00, payable
at marriage, at a slight advance upon the
premiums paid by life companies. The plan
seems fair and reasonable, and for further
particulars call on Mr. Crumpton at the Sha

seven days, and will inform our people all
about it.
Agricultural Mrctiug.

President Martin in the chair and a fair at*
tendance of members .present. After tbe
general business of the occasion was conclud

basket pic nic at the Fair Orounds under the
anspicies ol the Society on Tuesday the 11th
day of Julg; everybody being most cordially
invited to come and bring a basket leaping
full of good things. On that day Col. C. J.
Munnerlyn will deliver an address in bis usual
happy style, on “The Dignity of Farming.”
It is sincerely hoped that the county will
turn out in full force. We can promise all a
pleasant time.
■ Collecting.
Every one who has tried it is apprised of
the lact that collecting money just now is an
ud hill business. Last week a man stepped
up to ns and said lie would pay every cent he
owed us if he liTud until Saturday night. We
Jfreeumo the man died. Another said he
would pay ns in a day or two as sure as we
are born. Query—did the man lie, or-we
never were born. Another said he would set
tle as sure as shooting. We are led to tbe
conclusion that shooting is very uncertain.
Another said he hoped to go to the devil if he
did not pay us in three days. Have not seen
him since—Suppose he has gone, but trust
he has uot hoped in vain. Quite a number
say they would see ns to-morrow. These
have been stricken blind or else to-morrow
has not come. One man told ns six months
ago that he would pay us as soon as be got
some money, so of course be has not got a
cent since.
The Southern Cultivator.
We have receive? the June number of the
Southern Cultivator and Dixie Farmer, and
as nsnal it is full of interesting reading mat
ter for fanners and their families. A compar
ison of this sterling journal with similar pub
lications, North aud South, shows decidedly
in favor of the Cultivator and Farmer. In
quantity the latter has abont one-half more
than any other and every article bears the
impress of care in selection or thought in
preparation. Every number of the Cultivator
has a letter from Bill Arp, prepared exclusive
ly for it. Special attention is given to the
interests of “Patrons of Husbandry,” the Sec
retary of the State Grange being employed to
write in the interest of that order. Our
opinion is that if tbe Cultivator finds its way
into the farmer’s home, it will always be a
welcomed visitor.
Messrs. Jas. P. Harrison A Co., Atlanta.

Priailng Office Secrets.
The Singleton (N. S. W.) Argus prints the
following reply to an inquir} as to the author
of an article in that paper:
“A properly conducted printing office is as
much a secret as a Masouic lodge. The print
ers are not uuder oath of secrecy, bnt always
feel themselves as truly in honor bound to
keep office secrets as though tripple-oathed.
Any employee in a printing office who willing
ly disregarded th ; s rule in relation to printing
office secrets would not only be scorned by
his brethren of the craft, but would lose his
position at once. We make this statement
because it sometimes happens that a commu
nication appears in a newspaper under an as
sumed signature which excites comment, and
various parties try to find out who is the an
ther. Let all be saved the trouble of ques
tioning tbe employees of the printing office.
They are ‘know-nothings' on anch points as
these. On such matters they have eyes and
ears, but no mouth ; and if any fail to ooserve
this rule, let them be put down as dishonora
ble members of tbe craft. It is the same in
job printing. If anything is to be printed
and kept secret, let proper notice be given of
tbe desire for secrecy, and you might as well
question the Sphinx as one of tbe printers.”

Decatur County-Some of Its
History, Geography and To
pography—Tv*o Natural Ca
riosities About Bainbridge—
Fort Scott—Battle with the
Indians—Lands, Lakes, Riv
ers, Forests, Etc.
Baixsrldoi, Jnne 1.—Editor Homing Heir*:
In my first letter from here a few days ago
brevity confined me to the railroad extension
question and a few hints abont the future
prospect of Bainbridge and Decatur county.
I now propose to show a solid foundation for
the hopes and anticipations of the citizens in
that bright future, by some references to the
history, geography, topography, progress
and capacity of both. ‘
Decatur county lies in the extreme south
western corner and is one of the largest in
tbe State, having an areaol thirty-fiae by fifty
miles, nearly equally divided by the Flint
river, navigable to Albany. Ita western
boundary is the Chattahoochee river, giving
the county the advantage of two large navi
gable streams connecting it with the Gulf of
Mexico, about seventy miles distant.. Its
territory on the west of the Flint is mostly
level pine land covered with fine timber, now
attracting the attention of Northern mill men
—one individual now prospecting with the
view of purchasing one hundred thousand
acres of timbered lands for a Wisconsin firm.
The territory on the east of the Flint, some
what the largest, is also much tbe most ele
vated, rising to the altitude of 318 feet at
Fowltown [south of Bainbridge), above tbe
title water, and 315 feet at Climax nine miles
east of Bainbridge, while the townofBain-
brid ge is perched upon a bluff on the east
bank of the Flint, 225 feet above the sea level.
. The lands on tbe west side are generally
undui'ating, capable of good drainage, and
fertile; but tnose on the east are peculiarly
broksn, nigh hills and deep valleys, with
•very v.iriety of sdil, and in many localities
picturesque and beautiful to a surprising de
gree. In addition to tbe rivers named, tbe
county ha* many bold cbeeka, some of large
size and already used for milling purposes,
upon which border the principal hammock
lands, allnvial and very fertile in the river
bottoms, bnt lighter and not so durable along
the greater elevations of the creeks and
branches. 1'bere are also two or three beau
tiful lakes, while in the northern part of the
county there are two natnral curiosities wor
thy to be visited by scientists. They have
been described vs follows by Col. Charles J.
Mnnnerlyn, a well known distinguished citi
zen ot Decatur county, who, I am glad to say,
still enjoys life upon his large plantation but
a few miles distant:
“An extensive ca.ve, called ‘Blowing Cave,’
from tho fact that there is a perceptible issne
of -iuu rroul its mouth. The other curiosity
is 'The Sink,’ culled so by pre-eminence, as it
is supposed to be the deepest in tins country,
being over one hundred feet deep. A beauti
ful stream of water, upon which are now gome
fine mills, erected by idr. L. O. Jackson, emp
ties into the sink and disappear. The sides of
sink are lined by bold, jetting lime rocks, and
they are covered with n losses and ferns; the
whole presenting a pictn re of great beauty.”
Clear, beautiful springs of water abound in
tbe county, and one deserves special mention.
The 'Lime Spring,’ or s firings which form'
Spring Creek, some of them covering au acre
of ground, very deep and •dear, constituting
a place of summer resort fo.r parties of young
people and otlii rs in quest of sport. “Fish
of mauy varieties," says Colsmel Mnnnerlyn,
‘can be seen swimming and /ceding in their
depths. Daring tne summer, when the wa
ter gets warm, the rock fish .collect in large
numbers in the springs, aud furnish great
sport, being speared by torch light.”
One of these spearing parties recently cap
tured in the springs nineteen Ane rock fisli,
aggregating over three hundred pounds,
while one individual drew the scales at thirty-
six pouuas. While the streams abound in
fine fish of many varieties, the forests and
fields furnish equol attractions in wild game,
such as deer, turkeys, squirrels, rabbits, par
tridges, doves, snipe and water fowls on the
lakes and rivers. No county in tin. State is
better provided with natural means of enter
tainment for its citizens, and tbe ht.(h order
of intelligence and moral tone pervading the
white population sufficiently indicate the
efficiency of its well supported schools aud
academies.
Though the county was laid off in 1823,
making it now about fifty nine years old, it
was laid out in the wilderness, and in danger
ous proximity to the fighting grounds of the
Indians, a battle with whom had been fought
at Fowltown in 1818, where a Mr. Hughe*, a
fifer of the command, was killed, the accidont
of whose burial on the high bluff at- Bain-
bridge gave his name to the fort which occu
pied tbe blnff at the time Bainbridge was sur
veyed aud laid out by John Donalson, Wnt.
Powell aDd Wm. Chester in 1824, upon a fifty
acre lot donated by citizen Robert Douglass.
The vast vacant territory between this nevr
town snd tbe settled region of a great State,
to absorb the moving population, was suffi-*
cient reason for slow growth, but other local
ities in the coumy h&dpreceeded it m settle,
ment, and nosably Fort Scott, twelve miles
south of Bainbridge, on tbe west side of Flint
river, near tbe lime, or ‘White Springs,’ al
ready mentioned. As many as twelve hun
dred soldiers were at one time at that post,
under the famous hero of St. Marks, Pensacola
and New Orleans, which concentrated immi
gration upon the locality of safety from the
Indians, and consequently, all the trade and
importance of the new country. For many
years after the removal of the troops, Fort
Scott continued to command the trade of two
splendid rivers and the adjacent territory,
and until Bainbridge, much better located,
began to show remarkable growth anu en
ergy.
Fort Scott then began to deline, and to
day it is one of the' “dead towns” of Georgia
with an unwritten history, so far as I am
aware. Opposite this old fort, on the east
side of the Flint, was Camp Curry, a locality
chosen for the better nealth ox the solciers
stationed at the junction of the Flint and
Chattahoochee, a few miles below, which was
considered very unhealthy. Camp Curry is
the resting place of the remains of about
three hundred of the heroes who sacrificed all
for the happy population now enioying the
fruits of their patriotism and self sacrifice,
and I am glad to announce, even at this late
date, that through the intervention of Judge
M. O’Neal, of Bainbridge, and Hon. Henry G.
Turner, in Congress from this district the
government has ordered the erection of be
fitting monuments to these noble dead. One
of these monumeuts will be erected at Camp
Curry, snd the other over the remains of the
solitary victim of the battle of Fowltown, de
posited, as before stated, at Fort Hughes,
now Bainbridge. It may be stated as a bit ef
interesting history that Hughes—whose given
name I could not learn—daring the blind bat
tle in the forest, gallantly mounted to the
summit of an indian wigwam, from which the
enemy had been driven, and, thns conspicuous
played his fi'e with great vigor. While in
tbis position he received the fatal bullet, and
proved to be the only casualty of tbe battle
on the side of the whites. But further re
marks must be reserved for another letter.

LOCAL ODUM AND ENDS.
E. L. Padrick, son of onr worthy townsman
E. J. Padrick, has returned from the P. and
A. R. B., looking hale and harty.
Onr vonng friend James E. Reynolds, the
efficient post office clerk, has recovered from
a severe spell of sickness and is again at his
post.
Mr. Engene Bruton, engaged on the Atlan
tic and Pensacola Road and at home on a
short visit, returned Monday, prior to a
change of base.
We notice the name onr young friend, B. H.
Whitley, Jr., in the commencement pro
gramme of the University of Colorado of June
1st., snd an oration and farewell address by
him.
We hear that the Cornet Band is shortly to
be reorganized, rejnvenated, reactnsted, re
novated, readjusted, reconstructed, renewed,
and recompensed by the cordial well wishes
of the citizens.
The very interesting family of Capt. Wil.
Sutton left last week for Albany where they
will reside in future. They came here from
Albany only a few months ago, bnt during
their stay here made many warm friends, who (
regret their departure.
We make room on onr local page for a letter
written by Maj. L. C. Bryan to the Savannah
News, and on onr editorial fo r a lengthy ar
ticle in reference to the condition of onr no
ble statesman, Hon. B. H. Hill, both of which
our readers will find very interesting.
We had a lively blow from the east Monday
afternoon. Dnsters and hats moved abont pro
miscuously for a short timo. The shower was
lipht in tbe city, but at Martins and tbe east
part of the county ‘ they had wind, blowing
down trees and, heavy rain.
Prof. J. E. Witherspoon closes his summer
term at the Bainbridge Academy this week.
The fall term at the Academy commences tbe
last week in August. A genial gentleman and
thorongh scholar, we are assured that onr
school enters on a new and prosperous era
iu his hands and under his management.
The Chattahoochee is to be tied np and the
Caddo Belle will take her place for a while.
The latter Bteamer will be here on next Mon
day. We also learn that the Everingham will
be tied up for the summer, and the Wylly will
take her place. We regret that the summer
trade is not sufficient to maintain onr two
handsome crafts on the river during the sum
mer.—Apalachicola tribune.
The largest sun-flower we have ever seen
was sent to onr office last Monday. It-hed
dried and nothing remained bnt the bnil con
taining the seeds, which measured 19 inches
in circumference and 14 inches in diameter.
It grew in the garden of Mrs. E. A. Thomp
son. She has another not yet matured jrhicb
she thinks will be even larger than the one
BeDt us, and will probably be sent to Oscar
Wilde.
A new pair of nnmber twelve shoes, three
pints of blackberries, four cucumbers, a five
cent melon and a hunk of ginger cake were
forgotten and left exposed to the hungry
passers by on Broad street for an hour one
day last week, by some one who had evidently
got lost on cast Water street. On returning
and finding things nntonebed, he soliloquised
thus: “Bless de Lord dis town am plum full
ob honest gentlemen and ladies.”
On M.mday we dropped into the County
Court Chamber aDd found His Honor, Judge
C. G. Campbell presiding. We were welcom
ed very cordially by His Honor, and the mem
bers of the bar present. The case before His
Honor was Frank Adams, colored, charged
with deserting and neglecting his children.
Interested in the case were His Honor, Judge
M. O'Neal and W. H. Crawford, Esq. After
these gentlemen had dissected the caBe in a
very learned manner, pro. and con., the Judge
sent Frank np to the turpentine orchards for
six months. Hon. Judge Campbell is a vet
eran on the bench and has served his state
and county long, truly and faithfully. The
county never had a more worthy and efficient
officer, and with him the bar in the scales of
-justice is perfectly horizontal.
W« dropped in at Snider A Co’s. Flint Biver
Saw Mill, foot of Shotwell street, a few days
since and were much pleased at the busy ap
pearance ot saw mill things in general, every
thing indicating a knowing hand 'at the
he’m.’ On the river bank the gentlemanly
proprietors have built a miniature railway np
tbe bank to transport logs, the logs being
floated on the car and carried expeditiously to
the cradle in front of the saw. In the yard
we found a general and extensive assortment
of excellent lumber, building materials, pick
ets, sawed exactly the length for immediate
nse, a great convenience; square timber for
shipment, Ac. The S. F. A W. R’y have ex
tended their track to the mill, aud the mag
nificent timber that margins the uppei F’int
will find itB way to Savannah by rail, and by
the river to Apalachicola and thence to for
eign ports. Snider A Co. are live men and
go-a-head, enterprising citizens; and if at-
t ention to business and inrnishing first-class
lumber will bring success they certainly will
have it. *
Old Uncle Ned Lucky lives in a house of
his own, on Market street. He is a shoe
maker, and has been one for lo these twenty-
five years. When we came to Bainbridge
Uncle Ned repaired onr soles. He is eighty
years old. As a slave, he belonged to Alex
ander Lucky, of Atlanta, and was born in Co
lumbia connty. He was six or eight years old
when Gen. Jackson fanned ont Gen. Packen-
ham at New Orleans, and “members well de
fight behind dem cotten hags.” He tells of
how the overseer on his ‘marsar place was
draughted” and carried off by the Sergeants
gnat d, how the ovrseerer played sick nigh
nnto death and was yanked ont of bed and
sent to the front to fight Packenham. He
remembers well the rejoicing over the col
lapse of Gen. Packenham, and says they all
felt mighty goo>1 and hurrahed for Gen. Jack-
son. Uncle Ned /ell off the flat at Newton, in
1859, into the river and polled a blind mule,
which he was driving, in on top of him. The
mnle held on to him until some friends pull
ed both out very much exhausted. Ned is a
good citizen and is one of the few colored
people having a good substantial home.
Caadles ! caidies!
We would respectfully announce to the
citizens ot Bainbridge that we have our Candy

TO CONSUMPTIVES;
Consumption, that scourge of humanity,
is the great dread of the human family, ii
all civilized countries.
I feel confident that I am in possession
of the only sure, infallable Remedy—*
now known to tha profession—for the posi
tive and speedy cure of that dread disease,
and its unwelcome concomitants, viz-. Ca
tarrh, Asthma, Bronchitis, Nervous Debility
&c.. &c. I may he called an old fogy. I
believe in medicine. Twenty-eight yean
experience as a busy practitioneer, in the
best Consumptive Hospitals of the Old and
New world, has taught me the value of
proper medication, both local and constitu
tional, in the cure of this great enemy of
our race. I have fonnd it. But I am di«
gressing. I started out to say to those
Buffeting with Consumption or any of the 1
above maladies, that by addressing me, they
shall be put in possession of this groat boon,
without charge, and shall have tbe benefit
of my experience in thousands of cases
successfully treated. Full particulars, di
rections for preparation and- nse, and all
necessary advice and instructions for suc
cessful treatment it yonr own home, will be
received by you by return mail, free of
charge by addressing with stamp or steapeff
self addressed envelope.
