ST. MIMON'H ITEMS.
BY MAJAR.
We were glad to greet Mr. Warren
A. Fuller on the Island, who spends
4 few days with us before returning
North. f
There is not a fox, red or gray, on
tbe Island, nor was there a wild-oat
till since the war. If it were not for
this latter. pest, banters might do
well to introduce the wild turkey for
sporting purposes.
“Smack jour lips, you sassy nigger,
for <le totem growin' bigger."
St. Si'ions is bound this year to be
come <me large potato patch. Every
available space is being utilized, i>y
both big and - small planters,*in/the
cultivation of this important tuber.
Jim Gould says .Will Taylor may
call out “e pluribus unurn" on tho wa
termelon question, bat on potatoes
he’s got him. He plants three acres
of well-prepared land, and says he’s
good for oue thousand bushels next
fall. Such a good farmer as Jim is
should have a nice little helpmeet to
enjoy and take care of the products
of his toil and labor.
We were shown an excellent speci
men of skill in taxidermy last week.
Mr. W. J. Hays has proven quite an
adept in the art He has mounted
and preserved the skin of an alligator
some fourteen feet long. The posi
tion of the head, feet and tail of the
saurian is most life-like—so perfectly
natural that it requires close observa
tion to see that it is not really alive.—
Mr. Warren A. Fuller sends it to his
son Bertie, in Wellesley, Mass.
“She is getting J to be quite a favor
ite,” is the conclusion of a compli
mentary notice of the steamer David
Clafrk in the last Timber Gazette of
Darien. Not so with St. Simons.—
Capt. Hallows and Purser Gay, by
their close attention to business and
their uniform gentlemanly deport
ment to passengers and parties com
ing in business oontaet with them;
have for years uiade the “old Clark a
favorite. Then “our Chester” keeps
the ball of good| feeling constantly
Hart is said to be tbe banner coun-
for primitiveness. Once.in a prelim-
iry trial, a witness was asked if she
ed in Georgia or South Carolina,
irt being separated from Carolina
ly by tho river. With considerable
is of tbe head (implying that she
b w a thing or two) she replied,
li-ther, sir; I live in H-a-r-t,” giving
B name that twang so peculiar to
juntainous Georgia. The other
y we were reminded of this oircutu-
mee in a court of justice on the Is-
ld. A native of St. Simons, to a
oilur question, answered that she
ved in McIntosh county.” . J
Mr. Norman W. Dodge, of Dodge,
cigs & Co., New *York, has recently
nt out a fine library of one hundred
d fifty volumes, for the use of the
iployes of St Simons Mills andl
air families. The books arrived ear-
this week, and are being numbered
d nicely covered, in readiness for
eolation. Mr. T. B. Meigs, of the
me firm, recency sent oat a fine ed
ition of Sunday school and churoh
iging books. Such gifts show the
terest these parties take in tbe men-
i and moral welfare of their eniploy-
and they are highly appreciated by
e recipients. . - . j ,
«2 x 3—61. Georgia to Michigan,
eeting!” These are the exact Ag
es, and, among lumber men, would
can a stick two by three, sixty-oue
et long. Although this is a lumber
strict, we don’t moan lumber or
eorgia pine by tbe above, but a mel
i—a tealevinelqn—a Georgia wuter
clou. It was not two by three, six-
-ouu feet long either, but two feet
ng by three feet in circumference,
sighing sixty-one pounds. Willie
ij lor, of St. Simons, raised it. Tay
r says “e phiribu* unit in”—in tho
nguago of the Indian interpreter,
plenty more where this one came
om. A gentleman on the Island
mt it to friends in Michigan with
le compliments of the season.
During one of the* late blows, the
.ail steamer Ruby, on her regular in
ward bound ttfip, came near meeting
with a serious accident. When about
midway the sonnd, her pilot, Julian
Broad, noticed, ahead of him, three
water spouts, seemingly abont ten
feet apart, abont a half mile distant,
coming in the direction of Plantation
creek to Back river, taking the Baby
in their track. Finding them making
somewhat to tbe right of him, Broad
sheered as fast as possible to tbe left,
thereby missing the column of water
formed by the three abont one hnn
dred yards in front of the Ruby.—
When the three spouts joined they
formed a body of wuter oue hundred
feet in diameter, and twenty to twen
ty-five feet high. Bat for the cool
ness of the pilot above mentioned, and
the engineer, Mr. J. B. Dart, the
steamer wonld have foundered and
the whole crew been lost. The spont
moved over toward St. Simons beach,
and then changed toward Jekyl, and
in a few moments disappeared, when
a very heavy rainfall sncceeded.
The principal feature in celebrating
the fourth on St Simons was tho re
gatta in the afternoon gotten np by
the Messrs. Stevens brothers. They
are within a fraction of the same
weight, height and mnsenlar frame,
and resemble each other in many
particulars, although Mr. J. L. is
abont twenty-seven years of age, and
Mr. C. G. Stevens only twenty-one.—
Since the latter’s early approach to
manhood, there has ever been be
tween them a spirit of friendly rival
ry in regard to strength. Especially
has this rivalry been very spirited in
their boatmanship. Being descended
of a noble old sea captain, and having
from their very infancy led an almost
continuously amphibious life, they
have both long since aspired to the
point of being thebest boatman abont
St. Simons. So to test their relative
boatmunship, they each constructed
a boat seventeen feet long, rigged ex
actly alike, with gaff sails, and at 4 p.
m. on the fourth they cast anchor and
sailed from St. Simons Mills to Gas
coigne Mills and return, whole dis
tance about two miles, in full sight of
about two hundred anxious lookersr
on. Until the very last it was doubt
ful who would gain the prize. . When
fairly out, .the committee declared
George winner by less than a minute,
The boys and their friends repaired
to Mr. Arnold’s hotel, and enjoyed
qaite a feast in ice cream and other
delicacies. John does not give up,
but issues his notice that he is ready
to George mi the next fourth.
