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 una'ue to Represent.

Returning to Onth bert after the rains they reached Hog 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 extracto j the i lorses> The driver was in rt preC arious condition. He was found clinging to a limb and being dashed about by the angry waves. He was praying earnestly and fervidly for help. ' PolM,er ror «*™n.iarle... Ordinary R. T.

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.— Exchange.

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, PERSONAL MENTION. N HO COMES AND WHO GOES AND WHEN AND WHERE.
