' Nijrbts are Mcqjjaing moch pies#- auter, The rats killed a brood of twelve chickens at the hospital last Saturday night. “No vessels in port and none want- e ,l ” is the order of the daily report at this time.: 1 .' IlY... “k-S £?' The political wave has not yet reached us. . We are all too busy to talk politics. When middle Georgians get the billions fever they come to St. Simons to recuperate. • Lumber is cheap over here—a ne gro shanty at constable’s sale brought ouly ten dollars. Over four million feet of good, merchantable lumber in the yard at St. Simons Mills. _ Some billions fever—very mild.— Plenty of salt air and a little quinine, and it disappears at once. Miub is sick this week, so we omit our usual story about "snakes and other phenominal wonders.” Thermometer lower on St. Simons thau in Branswick by wtejal degreeb during the whole of last summer. Capt. Barney Dart, of tbe Rnby, is bound to be the Commodore Vander bilt of the South. We will prove it next week. . : f ,tff i, a mm Mr. Ellis Hunter, who, by tbe by, uae been with as so much he looks like an Islander, has some magnifi cent stereoscopic views of different objeots of special interest in St Si mons and South Georgia. ~ ! The craze of the “United Supreme Order of the Sons and Sisters of Ja cob” has reached the Island. All tbe colored fraternity and sistemity are clamorons for admission. The Island bids fair to become soon asocial band of colored “brethering and en tering. ” Hurrah for John Currie 1 He makes a success at whatever be attempts.— He fills the market with good beef and fat mutton, stocks the Island with hogs, cows, horses and sheep, and, lastly, he is offering to sell bug gies so cheap that ho will make every •id.m and his wife’s heads swim. Mr. 8. A. Fogle, confidential clerk in, I telegraph operator of St. Simons Mills, who has, in his summer vuca- tiou, been takiug in all tbe Northern cities and sights, returns better pleased than ever with our sunny isle. To enjoy St. Suuuus, her quietude, healthy clime aud seabreezes, it is on ly uecessury to absent one’s self for but a short time. Mr. J. E. Young, the popular St. Simons iuuibmuiati, who has been rusticating among tbe peaceful shades of Brunswick for some time, has re turned to St. Simons. The fact is, when wo go away, unless we have a sweetheart somewhere else, we all hasten back. We can't help it—no place like tbe Island. And then her people are so clever and hospitable. An Island darkey, about two de grees from Darwin’s next sub-con necting link, practically broke a pair of young oxen last week. He caught Ji Douglasville, Ga. ( Sept. 12, ’82. Dear Advertiser and Appeal: Here I am, almost in a twinkling transferred from the salt-land to this deligbtfnl place among the hills. Now, when yonr typo sots this np, he mast be sore .to spell the place with a MWgla/'a!' for verily the’good people are of that true southern faith and doctrine that they want it known un to the world that they are no ad mirers of Fred Douglass or any of bis kind, Imt the county (and u u<<- ble little county it is) and town wish to be known to the future as admirers of that great statesman Stephen A. Douglas, so familiarly known in his day as the little giant.” Douglasville is twelve hundred and fifty feet above high tide level, sit uated on one of the range of bigb bills dividing tbe Chattahoochee am) Tallapoosa rivers. The soil of the neighboring lands, besides being com posed of the usiixl Humous and vege table debris, has sufficient silicalcare- ous and granitic composition to ren der it quite fertile and of easy tillage. This is to have a clay foundation certainly one of tbe cleanest places it bus been my lot to visit Tbe granite and sand on the surface being of a white or cream color and too coarse to be drifted ’by the mountain breezes here so constant and so delightful, this is in time, bound to be tbe city of refuge to the weary uud careworn housekeeper. The madame here is not compelled to dust the parlor so often or sweep the bouse u half dozen times each day aud tbe linen can be wprn from one to two days longer than in tbe country of blaok soil. Speaking of linen, would that some of the Glynn county washerwomen could come to this town by the moun tains and take lessons in the art of bringing linen from the laundry spot less a? tbs driven show, as it is prac ticed np here. And tbe water is plentiful, cold enongb to make iced lemonade without the ice, clear, and with just a sufficiency of minerals in solution to prevent the insipidity of our sea board water. Fat chickens ABjcfreeb eggs are abundant, tbe former at 10 to 16 cents, the latter from 8 to 12 cents per dozen. In this climate, with her uititude, the inherent essentials to cleanliness (wbiok in the Materia Medica should outrank tbe,pill box) tbe mountain breezes and means of cheap living, yonr correspondent feels safe in the assertion that no place in Georgia S resents better claims than tbe plucky ttle town of Douglasville. Bnt, Mr. Editor, fearing that yon will feel that I commenced to travel at the wrong end of my journey, I will reverse and send a trace to the start ing point. I left kind friends and the noble old city of Branswick at 8:30 p. m., Thursday evening, and at the same hour Friday I was among loved micH at this place over three hundred miles away. Owing to the efficient niaiiiigemimt of the Georgia division of the E. T., Ya., fi Ga. R. R., a very great change has been effected in Georgia travel. Everything is new yet on this road, bnt admirably ar ranged and when a little better or ganized this will be the best road or syatem of roads in tbe country. The officers of every grade evince n degree of vim, energy and judgement unsur passed within our knowledge. For instance, on tbe anniversary of the day on which Major McCracken, civil engineer, rode through Jackson on a prospecting tour preparatory to a pre liminary survey, the road was com pleted from Macon to McDonough and the train running a distance of sixty-five miles, with steel rails, air brakes and ail modern appurtenances, and part of road laid with stone bal last. The amount of work done will be bolter appreciated when it is known that tbe route was located oiei a rongb, billy country, crossing many oreess and ravines over which fifty-two bridges were built, some of them fifty feet bigb. In tbe one over Pate’s Creek, seven hundred and .twenty tboni'iuid feet of Intnber were Hied, anyer, d beds of granite blasted them, closely lasbed together their caudal appendages, and then yoked through, etc. This wan all done in them. He then turned them loose aud cheap among his Etbiopiau brothers for at least a week. Augusta, Ga., Feb., 24, 1878. Mu. W. H. Baubett, Augnata, Ga.: Dear Sir.—It gives me great pleas ure to testify as to tbe merits of yonr celebrated GILDER’S PILLS. They have done more for me than any oth er medicine I have ever taken. I have tried, without success, the medicinal virtues of several noted Springs, but they failed to relieve and cure me as GILDER’S PILLS have done. I un hesitatingly pronounce them tbe best VEGETABLE LIVER PILL ever made. Very respectfully, W. D. Ramsey. the above remarkably short time, and in a thick wood. Beef was plentifn! so judiciously «as thewtoto work Kthinninn managed that the construction tram managfi^. in conatant use day and night jumped the tniVk only twice daring the whole titne. Along the whole road are evi dences of development, little towns are springing np at each station eve ry eight or ten miles apart, and the old towiiH Imve assumed a degree of activity never before known to them. Jackson of Butts county which has for many years been considered one of the finished towns of Georgia, has within tbe last three months received one hundred and twenty-fonr car loads of lumber for building purposes. Indian Springs, which bas not known the paint brush, or workman’s ham mer for the lust decade, has at lost twenty-five new bouses in pi tbk plao4 4klftisii lli%Vveel3y< was the first in tbe United States to nominate Andrew Jackson for Pres ident in 1828, is made merry at tbe sound of tbe mechanic’s tools. I had the privilege ot, meeting’ at Macon the roadmaster, Capt. W. L. Ring, who brings to this road an ex perience of tbirty-tbree years. Capt, Ring is Maj.
