Our colored friends are in formed that the Headlight is arranging dates for an. excur sion solely for their benefit at an early date. Capt Janies Knox, the well- known merchant under the Re porter office, will hereafter de liver all goods bought of him, free in any' part of town. It is a pleasure to deal with Smith & Sharp, they sell goods cheap, and pay their custoiriers for trading with them, by haring family groceries so cheap, and of such a fine quality.’A 1 d The local editor of the Blacdc- shear Georgian is elated over the prospect of a bountiful black berry crop. With thisj he may be ab'e to span even to persim mon time. Lucky man. Leon Phillips, well known here, has returned home from Madison, Fla., where he has been engaged in mercantile business-with a relative. We gladly extend him the right hand of welcome. We send out quite a number of advertiser’s and subscriber’s bills this week, and hope -to have a liberal response. Ad vertisements are always due after first appearance, without otherwise Contracted. THE HEADLIGHT EXCURSION. Notwithstanding the fact that the schedule on the B. it W. R. R-> was changed after we commenced advertising, which necessitated re maining in Brunswick all night be fore embarking for Femandina. the excursion last. week was a success, in pleasure and in s fi nancial view. The change of the schedule was not all we had to. contend with, for it comes tw-eer knowledge that certain parties, of whom we had no reason to expect such treatment, did all in their power to prevent persons, from qlong the line, going with us, and that even when the absence of the person would not, in any measure, interfere with their personal in terest. We know the persons, and some day when it is in our power to do them a favo' (for using their influence against us,) they have only to command, and we will obey. We mean just what we say: if we could injure them ono cent, or one hundred dollars we should not write one line to do it, but on the contrary, will do all we can for their success in life. We left Waycross at ten o’clock last Thursday morning, with pass engers from Willacoochee, Sum mer, Pearson, Waresboro, Black- shear and other points to the num ber of about one hundred and twenty-five, and as we went on down the road our numbers in creased, slowly, until Captain Welch, the courteous and efficient conductor informed us that we had on board about one hundred and fifty excursionists, all of whom were safely landed at Brunswick between one and two o’clock, with out accident or any act of misbe havior to frustrate the well-laid plans of the Hbadlioiit managers, aided by the kind and gentleman ly conductor named. About fifty of the excursionist returned to their homes on Thurs day night, leaving their friends to scatter around and get places foi remaining over night, but room was found at different places to shelter the crowd aad feed the hungry. Friday is generally called an unlucky day, but last Friday must have been an exception, for the morning dawned with fairness that filled with joy the hearts of fifty or more who took passage on the Steamer City of Brunswick, one of the prettiest and safest boats on the Georgia coast, for Fernandina. On the way out we touched at Jekle island, and from the boat could take in a very pretty view of a handsome club house that is in course of construction by the own ers of the island, the Vanderbilts and others of New York, who bought it some time ago at a cost of $160,000. On St. Simon’s is land which we also passed is the lighthouse, and connected with its past history, is the interesting fact that John and Charles Wes ley, the fathers of Methodism, passed some time in their work upon its historical shores, and for years Gens. Oglethorpe and Greene, of Revolutionary fame had their headquarters here. On this island, too, was placed fortifica tions during the war of 1861—65, between the states, to guard the harbor of Brunswick against the approach of the Federal block ading vessels. The batteries^ on this and Cumberland island com pletely controlled the channel, thus the “Beautiful city by the Sea,” was saved, for a long time, from invasion. . At Cumberland island we took on board some of the Dental Fra ternity, of Georgia, who have just closed the labors of their anual Convention, and were bound for Fernandina to take the railroad for Jacksonville and other points in Florida. This is one of the largest and prettiest islands on the coast of Georgia or Florida, and is con nected with historical facts which make it celebrated. Here lies the remains of “Light Horse Harry Lee,” the father of Gen. Robe rt E bee. We are informed that this <-<l recentlv but things arri'Thaiv audita usefulness should not vast area of fertile land (the island ing tliemsvivcs all ri ht. be abused. is sixteen miles long and three When you go on a trip over land or sea, insure against ac cident for your family’s benefit with Warren Lott, insuran-e agent of some of the best com panies in the Union. Lee Crawley is putting things in readiness to keep Waycross cool. He will soon have an ice house open near tbo B. & W. de pot where you can get ice in any quantities, through the summer. J. R. Knight, at the Satilla house, is building up a fine business, and his house is growing in public fa vor every day. Reasonable rates, nice comfortable rooms, first-class fare and courteous attention is what is doing this. 4t. A lady was killed by lightning at Fernandina a few moments after the Headlight excursion left that port last Friday. The storm on the water was fearful, and the waves on the ocean must have rolled liko mountains, but in the river, where our little steamer ploughed the angry waters, it was not so bad, still, it was frightful, and John Adams was blue around the gills. WITH A SHARP STICK. The Grand Jury' of Lowndes county Superior Court, which was in session last week, made some serious charges against Mr. Line- berger, iax collector of that coun ty. The charge is made, on good proof, it appears from their pre sentments, that the collector has collected several special taxes, amounting to quite a sum of money, and has failed to make any return or report of the same. The Jury ask that Govenor Gor don revoke the collector's com mission. Doubtless the default ing collector’s bondsmen will be called upon to settle the matter. HOW SUNDAY WAS SPENT. Last Sunday all the preachers and some of the leading members of the church were away at Dis trict Conference in Valdosta, but at the usual time the bell rang at the Methodist church for love feast. Bro. T. E. Lanier was pre vailed upon, (and it didn’t take much coaxing either, for he is willing to work wherever the Mas ter leqdeth) to lead, which he did in the manner of an old veteran There were quite a number pres ent, and testimony after testimony came after each other in rapid suc cession until the casual observer could see the work of the Spirit of the Living God all over the entire congregation. The service lasted two hours and never was allowed to waver in interest and zeal for the promotion of the cause. CAKE CLEAR. The two cases against Red ding & Walker for selling in toxicating drinks, which came up before Judge Brewer last Monday, were-settled, as far as the gentlemen were concerned, but Mr. Goodrich plead guilty and was fined $25,00 and cost. Another case is docketed against Redding & Walker, which will be tried at the next term of the Superior court, but inasmuch as the same evidence used in the one which fell through last Monday, will be introduced agaiu, it is safe to assume that an acquittal will be the result of the trial. If the public knew the nature of the evidence to be introduced we believe a vox „ , , nonuli verdict would be made Some knowing ones volun- f„ P advallce>for from what we have been able to gather, the gentlemen have shown no in tention to violate the law, and have only handled, and sold whisky for the sick, for their benefit, and not to be consumed and used only for medical pur poses. We oppose the sale of teereilthe opinion that onr ex cursion would be u failure last week. We take pleasure in in forming them that their opin ions were erroneous, and brand them as false prophpts. We are making arrangements to give our patrons more 'reading matter, and will, as soon we get matter, and will, as soon we get whisky, it is the worse enemy well enough, go among them, thus ■ of raan kind, still in the cases of finding out all the local and gen- ' No. ». miles wide) is owned principally, by a gentleman from Pittsburg, Pa., who has just -completed for himself a summer residence on the island. There are two hotels, with bathing houses, whore thou* sands of people go annually to- sportin the surf on Cumberland's beautiful beach. Three hours ride through the glassy, wavy waters, brought our gallant bout' 'and party to 'the wharf at Fernandiua, after passing huge iron steamships', sailing ves sels* and a quarantine officer- Two-thirds of the party secured carriages and buggies for a drive on the beach, two miles miles from Frenandina, uut the master of the steamer, Capt. James DiUworth* saved us that trouble,- for he se- sured a fine span of horses, and with a nice carriage, a courteous driver, Henry Brown, col., we were carried to one of the prettiest beach? cs on the Atlantic coast. In this connection it may not be out of place to mention the fact that Capt. Dillworth, although a young man is one of the most expert seamen on the southern coust, having in his posession certificates which es tablish the fact that he is an effi- ent master and pilot for the entire route from Charleston, S. C. to Pensacola, Fla. Not only is he all that we have claimed, but. his at tention toward pur party, show him a courteous gentleman, to whom the Headlight returns thanks for favors. His asssociate, purser, is too a gentleman for whom we shall ever cherish kind*feelings. Our trip from Fernandina back to Brunswick was without accident, notwithstanding the encountering of two severe winds that filled with fear the bosoms of some of. our friends. The Headlight party, partic ularly the editor, could not ftbpk of closing this short notice of -opr trip without returning thanks to the genial proprietor of the Ocean House for personal favors, to all who camo in contact with him. His house is one of the-best furn ished and most successfully man aged hotels in Georgia, while the view of the harbor, the railroads the warves &c, from the front bal" cony is grand, the courteous at tention of the entire management place the Ocean House on the top round as a first-class hotel.' We came home Friday night, and the verdict was unanimous that we had enjoyed one of the the most pleasant excursions that ever passed over the B. &. W. R. R. attended with no accident, no mis behaviour of our party, and with a card of thanks to the Headlight for the success of the occasion, and the pleasure of the excursionists^ Side Notes. Mr. M. A. Thomas and lady, of Montgomery Ala., were .with us. Johnnie Adams, like a true friend of .the Headlight, went the whole trip. Mr. A. A. JCnight and his bride, of Brunswick, were on the excursion to Fernandina. Editor Ellenwood, of the Blackshear Georgian went on the Headlight excursion to Brun swick. Joel J. Lott, enjoyed the whole thing” and said he was ready for our next one to St. Augustine. JTohnnie Sharp went as far as Brunswick, but not having a clerk he returned Thursday night. He hated to leave the boys and girls. No discount on John. Col. F. W. Angier, of the B. & \V. B. R., and Capt. Boylston, of the Union ticket office, have our thanks for courteous treat ment in getting up the excur sion. Onr time was occupied while in Brunswick, in securing ho tel accommodation for our par ty, that we didn’t have lime to visit our friends of the press. Mr. T. L. Paulk and daugh ters, from Willacoochee, went the whole trip. Mr. Paulk is a nice, clever man, and his daughters are “chips off the old block.”
