Sharon's New Hotel.
Mr. John Sharon has already let out the
contract to remodel his present hotel, which
when completed will be one of the neatest
public houses in Georgia.
He intends removing the old wooden
building, and occupying entirely the three
story brick house, which will be ample for
present needs. The two large stores be
neath will be utilized for offices and dining
rooms.
The space occupied by the wooden struc
ture will be enclosed and turned into a
beautiful flower garden. Hurrah for Sha
ron. But, more anon.
Cow Thief at Large.
We learn fk-om Mr. W. H. Crawford, of this
city, that one Jack Prince, a white man of
the neighborhood of Mt. Pleasant, Fla., was
arrested for stealing a cow, the property of a
col >red man of that section. We further un
derstand from the same source, that the said
Priuce was escorted to the Georgia line and
given his freedom, with the understanding
that he was to “git up and git.” It strikes
us as very wrong that our Florida neighbors
should iufliet their cow thieves upon us. Is
there no law in Gadsden county T Our peo
ple, who have cattle, should particularly be
on the lookout for the said Prince, and bring
him to jail. He is said to have a short leg
and a long one.
Vegetable* and Fra Its.
W bear that a “Vegetable and Fruit Grow
ers Association” is about to be organized in
onr town. This is a move so entirely in the
right direction that we commend it with all
of our might.
The lands lying in and aronnd Baiubridge
are as well adapted to the culture ol vegeta
bles and fruits as any under the sun, and
when they are properly utilized will add a
great industry to our business. Mr. Samuel
Patterson, ot this city, has produced the fin
est sand pears we ever saw, and we see no
reason that what is done on a small scale
might not be accomplished on a greater.
Hereafter we shall devote a column every
week in Tee Democrat to the furtherance of
tbie worthy object.

Coamaalcated.
Mr. Editor: I rise to ask a few pertinent
questions in regard to the management of
of the Whittier School of our city :
Last year, under the excellent management
of teachers, Bev. L. H. Smith and Henry
Stewart, the patrons were well satisfied, and
no extra dimes were asked, the school being
entirely free during the free term. This year
codec Mr. H. H. Williams, fifteen cents is
squeezed out of the patrons per month, for
each child in addition to the two hundred
dollars paid the teacher by the School Com
missioner for the free term. Now who shall
we blame for this extra assessment ? Can it
be at the suggestion of the School Commis
sioners ? We pause for information. We are
inclined to think the school would be more
prosperous if in the hands ot the patrons of the
school, more independent; not controlled by
the Atlanta rings. * Patron.
J. D. Ponder A Co.
We are proud indeed to chronicle to the
citisens of Beinbridg* and Decatur county,
the fact that J. D. Ponder, late of The
Democrat, is now the chief of the firm of
J: D. Ponder A Co., wholesale tobacconists
of Atlanta, Ga.
We say by our long connection with the
■aid J. D. Ponder, extending over a period of
nearly sixteen years, we have never met a
man more worthy or more deserving.
Starting with us :ts a boy his manhood de
veloped in the highest degree. And devel
oped, that manhood has carried him to
newer and greener fields of prosperity.
The people of Decatur in whose bosom he
rented his infancy will extend to him those
arms of embrace to welcome him in when
ever be comes among us.
Do yon profit by what you read ? If you do
yon will make up your mind to go at once to
The Ftot Biver Store and tony your good*.

Slieri IT's Sale Day.
Last Tuesday the famous little Steamer
Newton was cried off by the Sheriff to the
highest bidder. This sale attracted quite a
crowd. She had done good service and her
plucky Captain had striven hard to make her
a paying investment but bad failed. Alter
spirited bidding Between Capt. S. B. Weston,
of Albany, and Hon. D. A. Russell, of this city,
the little craft was knocked down to the
former for $62 ).00, who purchased for Weston,
Tift, Davis and others. We learn that she
will be put in trim and begin navigating the
upper Flint at an early day.
8ix shares of Eagle A Pheonix Stock, belong
ing to the estate of Elizabeth Fain, sold for
distribution among the heirs of said estate,
were knocked down in bulk to Jno. E. Donal
son and D. A. Russell for $626.00. This stock
is quoted in the Coiambus papers at $142.00
per share, makiug the six shars sold worth at
a clear market value, $351.00. Others stood
ready to buy and bid as high as what they
thought was wag $125.00 per share, but as the
crier cried each bid “$625.00; going without a
Better bid,” and $626.00 got the stock, the
buyers claimed that that was the exact figure
they were bound in law to pay. It wag a
great mistake, and a re-saie was attempted in
the afternoon by the administrator, but the
buyers of the morning held him to the origi
nal sale, and tbo stock was therewith turned
over to them.
The Southern Cultivator for
August.
The Angnst number of this standard,
representative of the Southern farmer comes
to hand several days ahead of time, and is
greatly superior to any agricultural journal
that ever came nnder onr notice. The Atlan
ta Constitution says ot this paper, that “every
page bears evidence of careful and able busi
ness management.” It is a matter of con
gratulation that we have in the South, at
lkst, a journal for the farmers and their fami
lies equal to the very best in the whole coun
try. While it should be the duty of every
farmer to patronize and sustain it, at the
same time the pleasure and profit of having
once a month such a splendid magazine is in
calculable.
In this number we find among other things,
“Thoughts for the Month,” by Dr. Jones,
tban whom there is no superior agricultural
writer for the Southern States; a history of
the cotton seed industry; an article by Peter
Henderson, the mo’t famous gardner in the
State of New Fork; a biograpbal sketch and
portrait of Dr. Geo. B. Lonng, the United
States Commissioner of Agriculture a picture
of makers of maple sugar at work ; a fine ar
ticle on Ensilage; one of Bill Arp's best let
ters ; a full “Inquiry Department,” in which
Dr. Jones answers many perplexing questions
propounded by the farmers; a large number
of special cortributions from the farmers ; a
fine lecture by Dr. Gurry on education in the
South, accompanied with his portrait; an ar
ticle on the state of affairs in Egypt with a
portrait of LeringPsha (of Confederate fame),
in bis Egyptian uniform; an illustrated ar
ticle on the seed cotton cleaner; a fnH page
portrait of the poet Longfellow; an illustrat
ed children's department, and other things
in rich profusion. In fact, how can a farmer
da without this paper when Messrs. Jas. P.
Harrison A Co., the publishers, Atlanta, Ga.,
only ask $1.50 a year for it?
Tour Last Chaser.
Prof. Harwell, the photo artist, who has
been with us some time, thinks that he has
supplied the demand for pictures m our city
and that it is to big interest to leave ns. He
has taken some splendid stereoscopic views
of our city, also of the bridge and other bean-
t-ftil scenes on the river, which he will sell
cheap.
He will leave about the 10th inst.
North Curoltuae amd Calvary
School
Dear Democrat i In company with your
townsman, Col. D. McGill, I had the pleasure
on 21st nit., of attending the examination
exercises of Calvary High School at Higdon’s
Store, in what is commonly hnown as the
North Carolina District. As I saw much to
please and interest me, I have thought it
might interest your readers iWo. It certain
ly should invite them to emulation, and en
courage them in the hard struggles with ad
vene circumstances.
This school is situated 30 miles from' Bain
bridge and 12 from the railroad. The lands
are no better than the average pine lands of
the county. The community, though out of
debt, ia not wealthy; yet the moment yon
enter this prosperous neighborhood yon are
made aware of it by the good roads ; bridges
iu repair; old time, ante bellum, twelve-rail
fences, enclosing abundant corn crops, now
weighted down with twenty-five to thirty
bushels of golden grain per acre, and cotton
promising a heavy yield. Fat stock, includ
ing that rara acts, the hog. The homesteads,
almost without exception, are neatly framed
and painted, the sarronndinga impressively
denoting woman's refined and cultured taste
and handiwork.
To my surprise I found the Academy a large
SDd imposing frame building neatly painted,
and equipped with the most improved appli
ances in the way of black-boards, spring-bot
tomed seats, Ac. And on tbe same gronnds
a music room for pupils, furnished with a
richly toned piano and all the facilities for in
struction in that most refining art. From
the instructress in this department I was
glad to learn that seveial boys were among
her pupils.
The Academy is und^r the supervision of
Bev. Bobt. H. Harris- I knew him as a law
yer, and he was a good one ; more recently as
minister, and here be was an improvement
upon the lawyer; but judging from his ex
aminations on the 21st, which were evidently
bona fide and without previous drilling or
cramming and the readiness and pro
ficiency of his pnpils, I am constrained to aay
be is a born teacher of yonth-
Miss Baldy, an estimable pleasant-toned
lady, presides over the musical department,
who readily enters nponher duties con amort.
One has but to hear her dilate upon “My
Chidrun” to ascertain that tact. It was with
sincere regret that sickness of one ot my
family denied me the pleasure ol attending
the entertainment given by her pupils on this
evening.
Among the striking features of this occa
sion was the assembling together of an an-
dience estimated at from 750 to 1000, from
this connty, Thomas county, and Gadsden
conuty, Fla. Think of that. Are there many
communities which would manifest so much
interest in a purely educational occasion.
Large as the assembly was it was fed with
princely generosity and rarest culinary skill
by the matrons of North Carolina.
I hope the trustees and patrons of Calvaiy
High School will acquit me of any prede
termined purpose to “spy out the land” when
among them, when I venture the suggestion
that Bainbridge could do no better than to
secure the services of these accomplished ed
ucators and on such terms as will permanent
ly identify them with our educational pro
jects. My word for it they would instil new
life and fhake success.
Moral—This community makes its own
bread and meat, looks to the nsefnl, while
not dis-egarding refined culture ; lives for its
own comfon and not for other people’a eyes;
does its own work, instead of lamenting un
reliable or scarce labor ; therefore, their lands
have a value, houses are made attractive,
fences, roads and bridges are in apple-pie
order; thrift and plenty are the rale; Acad
emies are built aud equipped and such teach
ers as referred to can be secured to train and
bless their children. What has been done
can be done. Truly, C.
The First Buie of Cotton.
Monday evening late—July 31st—the first
bale of this season's cotton was received in
our market, and as might have been expected
created a sensation. Henry Carry was the
first man to spy it, and this writer was the
next. Upon the bale were seated two sable
bucks, just as happy as larks, and they re
minded us of the old darkey song :
“If yen want to see a sassy nigger,
Watch him step around ;
Jumpin' on a bale of cotton
Floatin’ down to town.”
And well might they, and all commercial
Bainbridge feel bappy, as tbe busy season is
almost on us, when a bale of new cotton comes
to market.
This bale was raised on the p’antation of
Hon. Jno. E. Donalson, by Mr. James Louis,
was depoaiflM at W. M. Blount’s Fanner’s and
Merchant's warehouse, classed as middling,
weighed 413 pounds, sold to H. B. Ehrlich A
Co. for 12% cents a pound, and was shipped
per express to Savannah. We congratulate all
parties to the transaction.
OBITUARY.
Died, in this city, on Friday morniDg July
28th, 1882, Ann B.. the beloved wife of Wm.
W. Harrell, aged 56 years, 6 months and two
days.
A long and great sufferer, yet never com
plaining, she patiently and with true Chris
tian resignation awaited tbe great change,
when relieved from the earthly bonds that
held her gentle, suffering spirit among the
cares and sorrows of this life, to go beyoDd
this vale and rest in peace in the unfading
light of Eternal Heaven; there to join the
loved ones who have gone before.
Thq subject of this brief sketch was one of
onr oldest and most beloved residents. Few
were unacquainted with her long life of use
fulness, few did not know of the actions of
her tender heart. In the sick room her gentle
hands songht the snfierer, in her daily walks
she had a kind word for all. To the afflicted
home circle we tender the sympathies of the
entire community.
Beyond tbe grave is rest.
When life is o’er, how blest
To join tbe throng of loved ones there
In God’s own smiles, united share
His love.

TOPSY TURVY!
Everything wrong-side-out, and mixed beyond
description !
The cause of this great confusion is, we are turning the inside out of our store and putting
it in new. The master carpenter Padrick says : ‘‘Move this pile of goods, as I can’t work
without more room ;” while master mason Russell says: ‘‘Have these goods taken away from
there, or my men will throw mortan on them.” Then the painter says : “Take them goods
away from there, or I will daub paint on them,” a i so it goes all day long until we are aH in
SUCH A GREAT CONFUSION 1
That we can hardly find anything we want, and we are tired of it,
AND IT MUST STOP ?
NT
Now the only way to do it is to dispose of the goods. To do that in the
SHORTEST POSSIBLE TIME
We will sell our entire stock on second floor at actual cost for the cash* ^411 goods on the
first floor, also, greatly reduced in prices. Business so great we can’t take time to mention prices.

Bainbridge, Jane 1, 1882.
Tackling- the Pretty Fish,
Determined on a day’s sport, I toss aside
books and cares. Gather together tackle and
rods, get bait, and coax a policeman to wake
me at peep of day, I bid farewell to tbe ham
of the busy city and woo “tired Nature’s
sweet restorer, balmy sleep.” True to Lie
promise, I am awakened just as Aurora (laugh
ter of tbe Dawn, begins to redden the East
ern sky. Partake of a good breakfast and
for tbe fishing ground in tbe best of spirits.
Tbe day seems propitious; and from the
South,
“Across the fields, through woody ways,
A faint breeze stirs with listless feet;
The beetle drones, the rose-bush sways—
Methiuks the summertime is sweet.”
Reach the river iu good order. Ouriods,
tackle, bait, companion and ourself, are soon
aboard a trim skiff. Tbe long bladed oars are
dropped into their places, and answering to
their measured strokes, our bouy boat dances
over the murky waters, as swift as the gleam
of a vision of light.
Three miles of Throneteeska’s waters are
between ns and our “home” when we round
to, and glide in the run that leads into tbe
Lucas Spring, where we hope to take our fish,
what a delicious spot it is, to the angler’s eye I
A basin of cold lime water, one hundred and
fiitty yards iu circumference by fifty yards in
width, and from ten to sixty vards in depth,
sleeping in quiet smiles at the base of wood-
crowned hills, rising one hundred feet above
its level-tits deep blue waters darked by the
giant forest trees that dot their crests, it
looks like a miniature sky reposing on the
bosom of mother Earth. •
Tall cypress, ana pines, that for a century
have defied the storm-king, and listened to
the murmering of Throneteeska’s waters as
they swept onward to the sea; graceful of
form, rise in startling beauty from its very
edge, and cast their shaddows over its blue
surface.
“The golden snnshine over all,
<ftesplendently and streaming;
And birds and flowers and grass and trees,
With happ life are teeming.”
Turning reluctantly from the contemplation
of the charms with which nature had blessed
the spot, I bait hooks and prepare lor war on
tbe unsuspecting inhabitants of the spriDg.
Down into its blue depths sinks the treacher
ous steel, and alluring bait until tbe float
rests quietly on tbe unruffled water. It rests
there but a moment; when it is seized by a
hungry fish, aud answering to his movements
the float begins to move slowly aloDg the
surface, and then disappears under tbe bine
waters. I poll, the book strikes home, a
gallant fight for life ensues, and I
pull from his watery borne a large bream, bis
red crests glittering in the rays of the morn
ing sun, as beautiful as the red clouds at
evening, when blushing red from the day
God’s last beams then bang in transcendent
beauty along the Western -ky. Our prize
secure, again I try. A fine three pound bass
pays the penalty of his young life for meddling
with onr cruel steel.
Our companion is not idle. As I land my
fish he is struggling with a four pound bass,
and lands him in good style. Onr hooks are
returned to the water and for aa hour we are
busy taking in perch and bass, until a thun
der-storm breaks upon us andputa an end to
onr sport. O. G. G.
The Christlaa Index.
We have on onr table a late issue of The
Christian Index, a splendid 16-page paper,
beautifully illustrated and ably edited. It is
published ot Atlanta, Os., by Messrs Jas. P.
Harrison A Co. The editorial department is
nnder the management of Dr. H. H. Tncker,
one of the most profound thinkers and writers
of tbe century. He is assisted by a corps ot
distinguished editors and contributors, mak
ing each edition of The Index teem with in
structive and interesting matter. It has
distinct departments for Alabama, Florida
and Northern Georgia, each presided over by
men of ability, who are favorites in their
respective sections. In addition to these it
nas departments, severally, devoted to the
‘Chfldreu,” the “Sunday-School,” the
“Household and to “Agriculture.” This is
the paper for tbe family. It has something
good for every reader. The numbe- before us
contains, among a great many other things,
reports of proceedings of the Baptist State
Conventions of A'abama and MUsisaipi,
which will be fonnd very interesting. Among
the illustrations is a likeness of the great
American poet, Longfellow.
We have arranged to club with The Index
on such terms as enable us to offer that paper
and this tor per annum. The regular
price of Ihe Index, alone, is $2.60, so yon per
ceive we are offering yon a decided bargain.
No orders for ice will be filled. Always send

The true secret of happiness is perfect

The martyr to dyspepsia, in continual misery,

only failure. But a new era has come,-and
good health is assured, with positive relief
from tbe ills of indigestion and torpid liver,
