Savannah is to have direct trade with Europe before llrunswick or any other southern port. On August loth the steamship Highland Frinee, of the Frinee line of steamship*, will sail for Bar celona, Genoa and Trieste, ami will lie folioweil by the Roman Frinee and other steamship* of the same line at re gular date*. St radian A Co. are agents there. DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION. No more important work i* now be fore the democrat* of this state than to select the very best candidate* jswsible for all the office* within the gift of the |ieople. Personal choice should be laid a*i«!e, and those men should be selected who can best carry the stamlanl of the party Pi triumph am! victory. We urge the democrat* in every local ity not to run for office as a matter simply of personal desire to obtain it, but to hdp select the men who will most as suredly unite the vote ot the democratic party. This is not only true as to the selec tion of candidate* for office, hut also as to the selection of presidential electors. Delegates to the state convention should not commit themselves to men who simply desire to be electors this year, hut wham the convention meets the nxwt available men should be selected, having in view their capacity to meet and answer the argument* of the third party candidate* in every part of the state. The presidential electors this year should be men who will be ready to de vote their time fioni the adjournment of the convention until the November elec tion to the constant work of education ia behalf of the principle* of the cntic party,—Atlanta Journal.

Il«w a Waj-rruu Parly P«mt4 llenra of AII«H lUppInrma llsullSR for Saapprr lUuki off ('uuibrrUud SmmI. The splendid iron tug Inca, of Bruns wick, left Ocean Fier, St. Simons Is land at 2 o'clock on Friday morning of last week, freighted with a party of ama teur fisherman from Waycross accompan ied by a few friends from Brunswick and elsewhere. For once the dignity of lawyers, physi cians, merchant*, railroad men, newspap er men composing the |»arty, got down to the level of the occasion, and rollicking songs were mingled with the water* of Og lethorpe Bay, but oh, what aditferem the morning. Some other feelings were being inspired by the gentle roll of old ocean. The song* and *h«>uts gradually died away, and some other things more material were seen to mingle with thesa- line liquid of old Atlantic, but the misery of some was the joy of other*, for when a member approached the rail to look down into the wave* whose awful depths drew front the beholder groans of dis- pair and the remain* of last night’s ban quet, the.occasion was a signal for shouts of encouragement and approval from the uuappreciative and unsympathetic beholder. Well, we ran into Cumberland sound at daylight and took almard a pilot whose acquaintance with the bearings of the snapper banks wa* supposed to be infalli ble, and we were soon sounding for the coral crests that mark the snappers’ feeding ground, twenty miles from land. •Stop her! back her! put out the buoy first were the command* given iu rapid succewdon. but alas for our hope*! only the tempting black fish responded to most enticing offers of a morning breakfast of dissected mullet, nearly 150 of these little creatures weighing from to four pound* afforded an ample supply tv dinner for the hungry crowd, but not the size of the courted snapper. However the party got its money’s worth of fun and misery, and returned to <*ir temporary abiding place, “Waycrow Junior,” more thoughtfully than wont, but without one sigh or regret that we had participated in a trip that with out whicn the experience of the amateur fisherman is incomplete. We are indebted to Capt. C. Dan and the crew of the Inca for especial cour tesies and attention*. Our party was composed of the following named gen- mid mt U»yrr»n, July 300* *•»*’*- White.)
