Mr. Editor: A few evenings since,
heard one of onr colored citizens
thus explaining the situation to a
group of his color: 1

Qotu/ueutipji, under the above head,
upon our mail facilities, the Savannah
News thus cruelly criticises:
and Georgia—formerly the Mncuu &
Brunswick—railroad. By the present

tho outside world is via Savannah,
not by way of Knoxville, Tonn., or
Macon, Ga.—that j% the mail acbed-
ules for^ that city should be so ar
ranged as to make close connection
at Jesnp.with. tbe mails from this city
and cities North. Tbe railroad with
the long name should not permit its
seaport terminus to be so far behind
the times on the mail question.
Come, brother News, wait until the
road can “establish a policy.” No
corporation can be successfully oper
ated without a “policy.”

Mr. Warren Howard, of Atlanta,
formerly of St. Simons, spent a few
days on thwlslaud. Hia many friends
were glad to see ))im and 8orry that
he remained with us so short a time.
An exchange says: “Some one in
Connectient has discovered a true and
only remedy for chills and fever.
Scatter cayenne pepper in your
shoes.” This may core Connecticut
chills in the present day. It failed on
Geoi-gu uLiilis about fifty years ago.
Mum is the word as to whom we
meant io our last about eating wed
ding cake before tbe waning of the
next moon. Three geptlemeu and
one lady have called ns to account,
bat now, once for all, we did not sus
pect either one of those who have
shown themselves so mnch exercised.
A well-to-do negfo removed from
near Thomasville fifteen head of cat
tle. All have gradually lost strength
and health until there is but one liv
ing at this time aud that an old cow,
not likely to stand the coming March
winds. Will some one give a satis
factory explanation for this decline ?
The cattle have been well cared for.
Poultry raising has varied success.
One amateur, with twelve hens and
two roosters iu the spring, now boasts
a stock of eight roosters and four
hens, has eaten eggs one and one-half
dozen and fonr frying chickens. An
other amatenr'bas eaten twenty ohiok
ons, now has fonr roosters and eight
bens from a-brood to start .with last
spring of two roosters and ten hens.
Another .with twenty, hens now has
one hundred grown Quickens, besides
using at least fifty ddEen eggs and fif
ty chickens.
Last spring in this department a
remark was made that St. Simons Is
land promised to bfr one largo potato
patch. Tbe promise is verified anid
more. It has proven to be a “large
potato pntch” of “big potatoes.” For
instance, Jim G6uld, whilst be can’t
como up to his uncle Jim’s yield of
1843, boast that from a row one hun
dred and > yards long be has
gathered fbrtyifivdbushels. Johmciln't
conn! his and more than half weigh
from two to eight pounds each. Mr.
Hays of tho Georgia Land and Lum
ber Company jtpmes Along oil the
same schedule, whilst Henry Symons
is going to gather twenty-five bushels
from a patcl; .tfotjlhrger than a half
dozen double blankets wonld cover.
If not the most practical man who
has ever .lived on St. Simons, John
Ddifbam Was among tbo foremost in
that line. His name is to this day in
the memory of n)l tbe older inhabit
ants. ' Many interesting incidents are
related of him. Ho was strictly; an
kno^^inp^/mj^Xy/Tq^tho
Southern plantation. His vocation
was a grand success—sp,innch so that
the following story is told of him:—
A wealthy aud aristocratic planter of
a neighboring " isle, whose acres,
though broad and fertile almost be-
yonn conception,. were nnder heavy
mortgages, he having, by fast living
and dissipation, become almost a
bankrupt, once applied to bis’factor
in Savannah, who had already been
carrying bis paper to the amount of
fifty thousand or more for several
years, for a further advance. This
tbo factor declined, saying to tbe
planter, “Your last three crops, sir,
did not pay tbe advances upon them;
your indebtedness annually increases
—I cannot give you further accom
modation.” “ Ob, but,’’ says tbe
planter, "I have employed John Dnn-
h»m to manage my plantation for tbe
next three years.” “Oh, well, now, if
you will just stay out of the farm and
leave everything to Dnnham.” replied
tbe factor, “yon can have whatever
advance yon wish.” The planter did
so, and in three years was oat of
debt, with bis Credit redeemed, and
conld get aqy advance from bis factor
he might wish.
