Hardeeville were present, and
Capt. Gibson did the entertaining
on the occasion. All sorts of nice
things to eat and drink w’ere spread
before the guests, and Purysburg
has seldom had such a gala day.
The boat is named after Maj. W.
S. Cook, one of the most enterpris
ing river steamboat men in the
South. He resides at Fayetteville,
N. C„ and is financially interested
in the boats on the Cape Fear and
Savannah, as well as other rivers
in the South.
Capt. Gibson was accompanied
by Mr. Farr, of this city, who was
on hoard at the launching of the
steamers Ethel and Maggie Bell
severr i years ago.
The new boat drew 7 eleven inches
when floated in the river. The
shaft, boile-s, some additional ma
chinery and tho cabin r -re jet to be
added, after which, C-p‘. Gibson
calculates, the draft wiii be fourteen
or fifteen inches.
The Cook is 165 feet in length
over all, and thirty feet beam, hav
ing a capacity of 400 tons. It is es
timated that with 200 tons of freight
(he draft will be only thirty inches
Other boats on the river, which are
plying between Augusta and Sa
vannah, draw thirty inches when
light.
The Cook sits upon the water, and
is satisfactory to her owner in every
detail. It is expected to bring her
to Savannah in about ton days,
when the boilers will he put in, and
every arrangement made to begin
by Sept. 1.

Whereas, We the Thankful
Baptist Church, (col.,) have received
the sad intelligence of the death of
Rev. W. L. Kilpatrick, and
Whereas, He was to us a sin
cere friend, and a wise counselor
and
Whereas, We recognize that
wisdom suggest that we respect and
revere the memory of those white
friends who have been benefactors
to our people; especially those
among whom we live.
Resolved, That in the death of
Dr. Kilpatrick, a great man has
fallen; that truth has lost a match
less defender; that (he cause of
temperance, education, religion and
good morals lost a most zeal
ous advocate.
Resolved, That he was a man
whose greatness consisted in his
goodness. He was not. like Alex
ander, Napoleon or Nero who made
themselves great by terrifying
men; but after the manner of his
Master he went about doing good,
and endeared himself to the hearts
of the people by shedding sunlight
upon the paths of all he met, re
gardless of color or condition.
Resolved, That we bow to shed a
a tear with the white Baptists and
Christians of all creeds in this com
munity for the loss of this great and
good man.

Wanted to Cut the Jailor.
Jesse Nasvvorthy, one of the des
perate prisoners in the jail got pos
session of Donas Ross’ pocket knife
to “clean his finger nails.” Donas
is one of the helpers around the
yard, and while cleaning up Sunday
morning was cajoied into loaning it.
As soon as the desperate scoundrel
got the knife he made for the door
and stood ready to kill tiie jailor,
who he knew, would come to the
help of Donas. The squalls that
Donas raised were heart rending,
for the jail bird had threatened to
kill him. Mr. Ellison seized a AVin-
chesler and ran to the back door
which was fastened on the outside
as usual to prevent escapes. The
negro Jesse hearing the jailor say
he had a Winchester and would
kill the first prisoner he found cut-
side of the cells, fled back into his
celt with the knife and commenced
pleading for mercy. He gave up
the knife at the point of the gun,
and has been a good prisoner since.

Since 1878 there have been nine
epidemics of dysentery in different
parts of the country 7 in which Cham
berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy was used with perfect
success. Dysentery, when epidemic,
is almost as severe and dangerous
as Asiatic cholera. Heretofore the
best efforts of the most skilled phy
sicians have failed to check its rav
ages, this remedy, however, has cur
ed the mos 1 . malignant case, both of
children and adults, and under the
most trying conditions, which
proves it to be the best medicine in

For the Citizen,
A Wonderful Clock.
Translated from Currier DesEtafs-Unis,
M. Jean Rivat-Daeombe, a master
carpenter, of Chateldon, has com
pleted a real chef d'a-uvre, a clock
commenced in 1S71 and finished in
1S95. He performed no previous
apprenticeship, but demands now
recognition as a special artist.
The clock, tout cn cuirre et- en
acur, is mounted with rare precis
ion, having four faces, the largest
marking the seconds, minutes,
hours ar.d years. The central h°n<J
makes its round once in a century 7 .
Upon each of the three other faces
is placed a hand marking on one
theday 7 sof the week, on another
the months of the year and upon
the third the quarters of the month.
Leap years are pointed off, the ir
regularities of the months being
foreseen. The sun, which is figured
plainly, rises and sets as regularly
as old Sol during the four seasons.
Every morning an hour before
sunrise, each evening an hour afier
sunset, and at noon, a priest appears
from behind a door which opens
and shuts automatically 7 , and sounds
the angelus. After the angeius
of noon, an air of mini c chang
ing each day, is heard on the
inside. The quarters of the hour
are sounded in two d fferent toned
hells, and the hours are sounded by
the twelve apostles who, filing by
each with a hammer, strike the
proper hour. The whole is certain
ly a marvel of mechanical con
struction.
