LttidwAd Ijambev* sf*t by ex
press, last Saturday, to Hon. J. T.
Henderson, Commissioner of Agri
culture of tbe State of Georgia, fifteen
folly matured and ripe yellow figs,
from a bush which had grown twenty-
one in all. This bush was the re-
snlt of a cutting of abatit two feet
which was placed in the ground list
March.' This is bnt another of tbe
many evidences of tho wonderful fer
tility and adaptability of tbe soil of
St. Simons Island to the growth aud
culture of fruits, and especially those
that are semi-tropical. Fig trees

favorable circumstances, to be pne
oeasity to the traveling pnblie was
left to Captain Barney Dart, who con
ceived tbe idea of building for this
express route a small, strong, conve
nient and compaot steamer, euituble
for both passenger and freight pur
poses. This was in the fall of 1879.
Capt. D, was then running a small
butcher shop at St. Simons Mills, and
clerking at an almost nominal sum
for bis brother, J. E. .Dart, wbo at
that time was projjrletor’of the com
pany’s store. Capt D., like alt other
men when satisfied that: any enter
prise will succeed, threw into this all-
absorbing scheme bis whole vim, and,
with a little assistance here, and a
little help there, with the expenditure
of much brain aud brawn, finally
launched the' beautiful little steamer
Ruby on the first of March, 1880.—
Since this time she baa been the
pride 'of tbe Brnnswiok waters and
the pet of St. Simons. Since the date
of her entering upon the line, thirty-
one months ago, the Ruby has missed
making her mail connections bnt one
day (anless up for repairs), and this
was during the last gale. Now, in

Schools for the children on St. Si
mons will be opened on the first Mon
day in November. The white school
will be under tho charge of Miss Kale
Massey, wbo has earned an enviable
reputation os teacher in the public
schoole of Atlanta, where she has
been engaged tbe past eight years.—
This school will be opened temporari
ly in a building near the lower mills,
which is being fitted up for the pur
pose. Tbe new school building, in
course of erection by tbe Georgia
Land and Lumber Co., from plane
designed by Geo. W. Laiue, archi
tect, of Atlanta, will be a model of its
kind. It is of tho Queen Anno etyle,
and will be fitted up with desks and
of approved pattern, ^elected by
Mr. Fuller while in Bojvon, such as
are used there. They were made to
order, and shipped recently on
schooner Messenger for this port. A
supply of charts, maps, globes and
other school furniture is also sent out
by the same vessel. The new build
ing will b* rapidly pushed to comple
tion. A plan for a school building
for tbe colored children is in prepara
tion, aud it will be erected by the G.
L. & L:Qo- near the gate on tho east
side of tbe plantation, to better ac
commodate the chilureu from the
sooth end of the Island. This will be
fitted up in manner similar to the one
now being built for tbe whites.
Dora Holzeudorf will have charge of
the colored school, and as it is quite
large, she will be assisted by Miss Ad-
dio Wallace. These teachors are
graduates of the Atlanta University
(colored) and passed a creditablo ex
amination before tho county school
board. Both have had experience fn
teaching, and Bbow good records.—
trips, and sometimes three trips a
day. In this connection it might

In other words, she has moved a
whole city, bag and baggage, os large
as Savannah. To do this she has
travelod a distance nearly twice
around the enrtb. Tbe piston of her
engine has made as mauy strokes as
tbe poise of an ordinary healthy man
would beat daring bis working hours
in ten years. If Captain Dart and
bis noble little cruft should weather
the storms of sea and life as nobly
for the next twenty years, they will
have circumnavigated tbo globe a
