Kven your enemy cannot help Booing and remembering your advertisements if you are a pefsisfeot advertiser. —Our Tattnall column is omitted this week, on account of sickness in the editor’s family.

We will give the particulars as soon as their plans have been perfected. —Our amateur fisheruion are making active preparations for the spring campaign, and We predict a fearful onslaught upon the tinny tribe.

We allude to Mrs, T. B, H StenhoUse's new book, entitled, “Tell It All.” It is with great pleasure, that we hail this remarka ble work—the genuine history of a real Mormon woman. Two years ago the Au thor published a little pamphlet on Po lygamy, which attracted considerable at tention, and created quito a sensation among the Saints. The Mormon papers took up the subject, and alluding derisive ly to the delicate reticence, so natural to a sensitive woman, displayed by the Author, spitefully invited her to “Tell It All.” Men and women of position, in all parts of the country, who had visited her in Salt Lake City, urged her to seize the op portunity, “write a book,” and lay the whole truth before the world. Mrs. Har riet Beacher Stowe, whose earnest intro duction to this volume is a guarantee of the delicacy, as well as purity of the work, personally added her persuasions. Mrs. Stenhouse ultimately consented, and chose for the title of her new volume, the words of derision used by her Mormon oppo nents--“ Tell UAH.” In this way, this singular work was in troduced to the world. It is a book utter ly unlike any other work on the subject ever penned before. And, although we would not spoil our readers’ pleasure by felling Mrs. Steuhouse’s fascinating story second-hand, we will state that it is just what it-professes to be—the history of a life iu Mormonism, written by a lady of education and refinement, who, through the influence of religious sympathy, mis directed. became the victim and slave of one of the most extraordinary superstitions which the world has ever seen. In her own fascinating style, she tells all that can be told of that strange system, not as a visitor to Utah might relate it, but with flie thrilling eloquence and pathos of one whose wholelife has been darkened by its deadly sliadJW. Real men and women— the story of real lives—the sayings, the doings, the events of to-day, among a class of our own countrymen and women, much talked of, but little known, are painted be fore us by this talented woman, with touching fidelity; and when the reader lavs down the volume, his only regret is, that be has arrived at the last page. The book possesses all the vivacity und thrill ing interest of the finest works of fiction. In point of mechanical skill, it could not be surpassed. TVie binding is elegant and substantial;the illustrations, on wood and H'eel, are costly, and finely executed; and altogether it is one of those subscription books, which one so rarely meets, which give the rur -Infer full value for his mon- This work will be sold' only to those who order of the / gent, who will soon in ■ troJuce it to- cur eitiaens. We bespeak for it a most cordial reception —for it is worthy of it. Mrs. SI. A. Myerti, ofourtown, is Agent for it, andX. 8. Arthur’s latest and great est work, “Danger, " which is written in behalf of the great temperance reform. Let young and old of either sex read it, and assist in flashing out this beacon light to the many thousand victims of intemper ance. (OOMMUMCATKD ) Jesup, Apr® Sth. 187i> Kditoe Jesup Georgian: Will you grant me space for a short communication. I have done all that could be expected from an euergetic man to get a marriage report for your paper, but the times ate very unfavorable, and have caused a cessation of hostilities for a while. There are several couples, howev er, that must marry or move to some oth er locality very soon, and I do not wish to be bothered about them any more. I shall report progress as fast as possible. I have traveled down the Brunswick road on foot as far as No. 3, right through the timber region, where a few months ago you could hardly hear of anything but timber, and now the questions are, have you got through planting, is your old field fenced, and how large a crop do you ex pect to make. They evidently intend planting a considerable amount of corn this year, and it is conceded bv all, that tbe death of timber has proved the salva tion of this country. I will now call your attention to the roads in that section. There is an old Darien road from Barring ton Ferry to Doetortowu, which is kept up by the road hands, and from Alex Creek to Doetortown, it is no more than an abandoned settlement road. There is a new road Lorn the ford of Alex Creek to Thomas H. Hookers' place, that is almost universally traveled, and with the number of hands that work the old road to no pur pose, the commissioners might make the new route a good one, saving a distance of some three miles. And with a little en ergy a good bridge could be built across I’enhollowuv creek, which would give the public easy access to Jesup during fresh ets, and save a large settlement at least two hours travel at nil times. Please give this a place in your highly esteemed paper, and look out .for an article on ed ucation very shortly, as I did not get niv share when I was a school boy. Church es, School Houses and roads w ill greatly improve communities. Observer. APPLING DEPARTMENT. The Superior Court for Telfair sits Tues day, the 20th day of April. ♦ Complaints are heard from every source of the failure of gardens. The season has been very inauspicious. Thirteen ‘true Dills,' for various offences, w ere ri turned by the G l aud Jury of Coffee county. We had a slight frost this, Wednesday morning, hut not enough to injure vege tation. —=♦ The friends of Mr. Seaborn Hall, ot Gra ham, Will be glad to learn of his recovery from a Feoent severe attack of pneumonia. —— re——, — At Moody Jk Hinson s large establish ment in the town of Hazlehurst, can be had every imaginable commodity for do mestic affairs. These enterprising mer chants have earned an enviable reputation for upright dealing. We commend them to the patronage of everybody. John A. Grant, Esq. We see by tho Atlanta Constitution of the 14th inst., that the above named gen tleman has been appointed General Su perintendent of the M. A B. R. R., vice Maj. ,T. W. Green, resigned. The Contest. We have to congratulate our readers on the happy termination of this memorable contest between the opposing candidates for the office of Tax Collector and Receiv er. After an elaborate examination of the case, as presented to his Excellency, the Governor, he decided to overrule the con test, and issue the commission to our pop ular friend, Mr. John J. Clark. We do not at present propose to indulge in any ex tended remarks ou the improper conduct of the contestants; suffice it to say that ns much mischief has been w rought aH could reasonably have been expected from the nature, character, and grounds of the con test. We trust in this a lesson has been taught. We are also glad to have to chronicle the fact that Mr. John J. Pickeren, of Cof fee county, has been commissioned lor the office of Tax Receiver, by the Governor This contest, so far as we can learn, is the only one the Governor sustained. re - . Coffee County. A recent trip through this county me | bled us to see many signs of industry and i mechanical skill, the former comprised of ! the clean fields, good fences, and well kept ! stock; the latter of the comfortable and I neatly arranged houses for the protection | and shelter of every animate thing on the I different places. At our friend, Mr. E. ; I’ickereu’s, we saw every indication of en ! terprise and thrift He has planted large ] ly of corn. Cotton, rice, potatoes, cane, Ac. May he reap a rich harvest Farther ou i we catne to one of the most industrious I farmers in Coffee county, J. Wilcox, i where we found an abundance of every -1 thing. Tom cultivates about thirty acres, and cultivates it himself; and we venture to say that he has now, and always has on 1 hand, as large a quantity of corn and fod ! der, and the fattest korsevt nDd bogs, and the like, that can be found in the countv. May his tribe increase, lint we cannot speak of all the deserving men we met. Of this wo are assured, that there are more real, genuine formers in this county than can be found in any county of the • like population; and there is more substantial happiness to be found in their midst than in counties that boast of large timber in terests, saw mills and turpentine farms: in truth, they are happy, and we wish them much joy in their quiet, unpretending pos sesions. BLACKSHEAR DEPARTMENT. Tax Returns. Our clever and efficient Tax Collector, Mr. A. J. Strickland, informs ns that he now- has his books riAdy to receive the tax returns of this county. —— re- Soda Water. Mr. B. D. Brantly has put up a Soda Water fount, and is prepared to refresh, revive and reinvigorate weary mortals at only ten cents a glass. - Atlantic & Gulf Mills. Onr esteemed townsman, (Japt. J. T- Stone, has taken charge of these fine, new mills, located in Savannah, and is pre pared to fill all orders for meal, hominy, Ac., at reasonable rates. Another Phoenix. Mr. S. R. Jenkins, who owned the store occupied by Mr. A. N. Smith which was burned in the recent fire, has.commenced to rebuild on the same lot. Pire- Ou last Saturday the kitchen of Mr. S. R. Jenkins caught fire, aud had it not been for prompt and vigorous efforts on the part of the citizens his dwelliug would certainly have been burnt, the day being quite windy, and water hard to obtain. As it was, however, the damage was slight, being confined to only one side of his kitchen. ——— —♦- Still at Large. Calvin Fuller, tho negro who brutally murdered bin wife last week, as was men tioned in the last issue, has not yet been caught, although several searches have been made fur him. We hear that he is hiding in this neighborhood, aud was seen and chased for some distance a lew nights since. The colored people are greatly incensed against lnm, and have made strenuous efforts to capture him. ♦- Meeting of Presbytery. The Semi-Annual meeting of the Savan nah Presbytery closed on last Saturday after an interesting session of three days. The delegates were hospitably entertained by our citizens and no doubt curried away pleasant recollections of their short stay in our midst. Rev. R. Q. Baker, of St. Marys, was chosen Moderator. Religious services were held morning and evening, aud able discourses were delivered by Rev. Messrs. McFarland, Bell, Gordon, McKee, King, and by Rev. Dr. Axon, of Savannah. Sunday School Meeting. One of the most interesting features ' of the late meeting of tho Savannah Presby tery in our town was a union meeting of the Presbyterian and Methodist Sabbath Schools to hear an address from Rev. Dr. I. S. K. Axon, bfPavannah. After sing ing several beautiful hymns, led by Mrs. Dr. Moore, the accomplished leader ul the Presbyterian Choir, the schools were ad dressed by Dr. Axon in a manner which at once won the attention and, hearts of the children. The address was only too short, as we heard the children say, and if the elders did not profit by it, it is because they luck the simplicity and guilelessness that should make them “become as little children." re- Shot At. We learn that our efficient Sheriff, Mr. A. L. Dauvergue, while making a search for Henry Williams, an escaped convict, in company with Deputy Sheriff Cason, of Ware county, was fired upon by some un known party, probably Williams himself, but fortunately was not hit. This negro, Henry' Williams, was sen tenced to the Penitentiary for ten years at the September term of Pierce Court, but succeeded in making his escape some time early in this year. He is a desperate negro, and has made threats of vengeance upon sundry citizens of Blacksbear, and we trust that it will not be long before he is recaptured. A rownrd of fifty dollars has been offered for his capture, and sev eral parties have made unsuccessful at tempts to take him. COMMERCIAL. NavanoHli Market.
