Quite a number went from here to
the Bluffton picnic yesterday, and this,
like all other such affairs in Bluffton,
was quite an enjoyable occasion. A
large crowd was there from the sur¬
rounding country and neighboring
towns. The dinner was a most excellent
one and sufficient to have fed many
more, hut a heavy rain came up about
the hour of noon and seriously interfered
with the complete enjoyment of that
important feature of the occasion, and
otherwise marred the pleasures of the
day. The base ball game did not take
place, because of the rain. Bnt the
young people were not to be thus out¬
done and in the afternoon quite a crowd
gathriaed at the acadamy and spent the
remainder of the day dancing, from
which pastime they derived the greatest
pleasure. The occasion as a v hole is re
ported a succes- in spite of the rain
and we very much rr>1 , ,___ regret . that ... we were

creek, west of Coleman, ami found
stream considerably swollen. The driver
attempted to cross and when the curreut
was reached the horses, hack, driver and
a jj were swept down the creek.
When the horses were about to drown
by being tangled m the harness and the
driver was about to go up, being wash¬
ed out and swinging to a limb,
another team of Mr. Tnrnlin s,
returning from Fort Gaines to
Cuthbert came upon the scene. Die
driver and drummers went to work and
i after heroic efforts cut the harness and

The I'orlS First Bala.
Fort Gaines received her first bale of
new cotton last Saturday.
It was marketed by Mr. W. C. Belisle
and weighed 439 pounds. It was stored
at the Farmers’ warehouse and sold to
Mr. E. J. Hardin for 8 cent#.
Several other bales have been received
since then—seven at the Alliance ware¬
house, five at the Farmers’ warehouse
one at the River warehouse, and one
at the Planters’ warehouse. Quite
a number of bales arc expected to-mor¬
row.
Besides Messrs. Hardin, Farmer,Dunn
and Peterson, other buyers will be in
the market, and the Fort is sure to make
it interesting for neighboring markets
Mulling cotton is worth Gj cents to-day.
The effort of any newspaper to build
up a towu is practically nullified unless
it is backed up by thh business men. A
stranger turns from the news columns of
a paper to its advertising pages, and tf
he fails to find there e business cards
of the merchants and nsiuess men he
conies to the conclush i that the pub¬
lisher is not appreciated, in which case
it is a good place for him to keep clear
of. No towu ever grew without the
active assistance of the its newspaper.
Nor can papers grow and build up their
localities without the assistance of the
town. Business men should realize this
and remember that in giving, support to
the newspaper they are not only build
ing up their own business, but are help¬
ing to support that which is steadily
working for the whole community.—

this week, has bail some splendid work
done, which was beginning to be badly
needed. Tiic town exchequer has been
somewhat depleted this year, however,
which will account for the apparent
negligence in this and other respects.
While he is at it we trust the marshal
will be authorized to extend the work
considerably and have a general cleaning
up. The sanitary condition of the town
has been long neglected and has beeome
such as to seriously endanger the good
health of the citizens. All private prem¬
ises, as well us the public streets, should
be carefully looked after aud required to
be put in good sanitary condition.
The Early County News seems to
doubt our prediction that Fort Gaines
will he the leading cotton market of
this section this season, and confident
ty boasts of the Clay county cotton
that will be marketed in Blakely.
Well, now, there’s going to be a badly
disappointed editor in Blakely ,,, , , when ,
the season is wound up. That's all,
