Mr. W. J. Hays will cat fifty acres
of outs next week. Can any other
fanner come to the front with half
such an area ready for the scythe?
As the schooner B. H. Poster was
on her way south, a few weeks ago,
she encountered, between the Gulf
Stream and the coast, near Hatteras,
a shoal of porpoises at least five miles
in extent.
Mrs. John L. Steven succeeds Mrs.
Annie Arnold in the post office. As
Mrs. Arnold wished to retire, the se
lection is regarded, by all, a very wise
one. Polite and attentive, she dis
patches the mail with tho ease of a
proficient.
There was on Wednesday quite a
strong gale from the south-west, at-
teinleil with heavy rain. Duriug the
blow, the Georgia B. McFarland got
adrift and collided with the Fabuns,
bill as Captains Keen and Strong were
“the right men in the right place,"
through their skillful management,
little damage was the consequence.
Au interesting case of burning
woods, lands and marshes without
giving due and legal notice to those
adjoining, was np for commitment a
lew davs since before the Justice of
the Fence of this district, in which
two of our most prominent farmers
represented “the party of the first
part" and “the party of the second
part."
That competition is the life of trade
has a practical illustration at this time
in trade at this place. Mr. Ditchburn,
iu charge of the store of the Georgia
Laud and Lumber Co., says that his
trade was never better. Although
Messrs. W. F. Symons & Co., at Col,
Collins’ mill, are doing a heavy and
profitable business, there iB no fnlling

of St. Simons outside of its lumber
interest ns “principally piccaninnies,

opinion, wo are disposed to think, if ho
could have prolonged bis stay a few
days,he would have modified somewhat.
At a recent dining there were upon
the table of tho kind hostess nice
white cabbage and lettuce, onions, Ir
ish potatoes, English peas, beets, snap
beans, mustard salad, asparagus,
linked pig, roast veal, mutton aud
duck, eggs, fresh milk and butter,
spring chickons and clear golden
Georgia syrup, olives, olive oil, pre
served figs, marmalade, etc., all na
tive products of St. Simons. This ta
ble whs also bedecked with flowurs
both wild aud cultivated in rich pm- 1
fusion, among which were, at least,
fifteen varieties of roses. Wo sincere
ly liopo our friend may renew his
pleasant visit another season and may
bo able to investigate more fully than
was possible on a flying trip our vn-
titlcs him to be the champion oat
grower of South-East Georgia, has
about one hundred and fifty acres oi,
oats, all fully headed, averaging from
two and one-half to'four feet high.—
This large area is the result of succes
sive sowings in the months of Octo
ber, November, December and Janua
ry last. He caused the crops of the
first three months to be grazed upon
by fifty head of cattle and as many
hogs,thereby keeping them sufficiently
back to prevent their early maturing.
By this plan be had thirty bead of
hogs fattened for tho slaughter pen
without feeding a grain of corn, and
every cow fat enough for beef any day
duriug the winter. His crops prom
ises tin average of thirty bushels to
the acre, at a cost'' of less than five
dollars per acre, everything included
from the purchase of the seed to the
housiDg of the grain. Col. S. feels,
however, that the benefit to the stock
balances all expenses, and the oat
crop is the profit.
A ST. 8IM0N8 PIG.
While passing along the margin of
the plantation a few days since with a
friend, we discovered a broken fence
and several shoats luxuriating in the
stolen pleasures of a feast inside our
ioclosure. We drove them out, and
seeing a negro woman in her cabin
just outside the fence, we called to
her and asked if those were her hogs.
“No, sab,” she replied, "dein be stran
ger bogs. My sboat down dar,”
pointiug down the road, “my shoats
come when I call ’em” and uttering a
a peculiar cry, she brought tho whole
pack grunting aud squealing around
her. Turning to one large ugly griz
zly fellow, she exclaimed, “piggy,
piggy, whar you been? Go drive dem
strange hogs way.” Wifli bristles on
end and showing his ugly tusks dart
ed after “dem strange hugs "and sent
them squealing down the road, re
turning afterward to receive the ca
resses of his mistress, like a well-
trained dog. My friond remarked
that “it was very well to keepongood
terms with the old woman, and safe
to have the fence between us, or she
might set tho shout on us."
V rather novel caso of want of iden
tity, of tho Charley Ross type, is puz
zling the oraitis of the colored society
of St. Simons at this time. A worthy
old imin, Cyrus McCormick, a regular
iiiplovo at St. Simons Mum. and h*».
wife, Aunt Mary, have 1m 1 horn tint,
ttiein. during ami since si •.•.cry, four
leen children, none of win u are liv
ing unless i: be. a daughter about
thirty-five, named Phillis. During tb
vicissitudes of the Confederate war
this couple and daughter became sep
arated—last heard from Phillis was in
Houston county on one of the planta
tions of the lute Joseph Bond. Im
mediately after the suspension of hos
tilities, Cyrus, having in his posses
sion about two hundred dollars, set
about to hunt her. Not finding her
in Houston, he visited every place she
might be in till his mom y gave out,
enmo home, made more money. and
has been from that day to this hunt
ing his lost child. Ho churns to have
spent at least six hundred dollars of
hard earned money pursuing this
phantom. In fad, although a hard
working man, a constant employe of
St. Simons Mills, at good daily wages,
ho and Aunt Mary scarcely allow
themselves tho actual necessities of
ife, so ardent has been their search
for the Inst seventeen years for Phil
lis. Some three years ago they found
a Phillis Cobb in Dougherty county,
a’ woman of about forty years ot age,
black and nncomely. They were quick
to believe that this was their Phillis.
both white and black are with the old
couple, every one is at a loss to dispel
the illusion that this wench they fond
ly claim is not their Phillis.
