Mr. Editor: A few evenings since, heard one of onr colored citizens thus explaining the situation to a group of his color: 1 “I knowed when de commit coroe, somethin' was gwine to happen.

Tbe railroad with the long name should not permit its seaport terminus to be so far behind the times on the mail question.

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.
