<Tlu Wayut pt'CLISHED WEEKLY AT •Tpauj), Wayne County, Georgia. September 11, 1875. SELECTED MATTER How be Had his Name Changed. The other day a young African asked us if it was “agin de law" to change his name. We replied that if he had a good t ame ho had better keep it, as a good name wax the one thing to be desired in this world. Tse got a putty fa’r name,’ he said, "w’et I'se had ever atnee dewar, but it won’t do for din chile any ntoab.' •Why, what's the mutter with it?' we asked. 'Well, you ace, boss, dar's a fool nigger come hyar from CbilHeoffe, an’ ha’s a buz -7.1a around wid u>y name, an’ no two nig fer.t can circutngate in de name town on loss one or de udder ob 'em hab a different procogueni.' •Perhaps you can preraii on him to adopt another name.’ 'ho, sah; I offered him foaff hits an’ a rnhzor to call hissulf somethin' else sides George Wusbin’ton Jones, but do yaller fool won’t doit.’ 'Veilow, is he?' Yes, sah, an’ dal's what makes me so in jurious about it. He says de Jonoes waz ■ie fuatest fnuiilira of Kirginny, an' dat he’s condescended in n direct line from dew, and conseqnenchly darfouh walues de name moah exceedingly dan udder, wise,’ ‘So you propose to off with the old name and on with anew 1’ 'Somethin’ like dat, I s'pose, boss. An’ 1 want to ax yon de favor to sejest some likappropriate name dat’l! do for a online] i usaon ob standing. I dont soshato wid , common, low-class niggers, an’ I wants a name out o' dore uncomprehension what dev can't steal, you know ’ llow'll Benedict Arnold, do?’ In. Arnold am totiish, for suah, hut 1-ir'i. too many linnuys an' Dicks around. Try anudder one, boas.’ •Well, Algernon Hnrtoris how’s that?’ Dat’s superlngant! Algcrneyman Bar tons Arnold dat'd do for some oh do name. I'lease reach for anudder one, i.h. ’ •Why, that's name enough. How much hi you want, for goodnesssuke?’ 'Dorr, you must ‘member dat I’so deek in iu do church an’ prictor ob a house an' lot.’ ‘Oh! yes; well-—let's see—Bill Allen?’ 'Dal’s too common.' ' Abraham Lincoln ?’ Too ordinary, aali. (lit up higher Phil. Sheridan ?’ Higher yet, sail, if you please ' William Teennjsch Sher--' .Stop sah- dal's miff needn’t feel no furtler. Wilyum Oherkumscy- dat sounds tike o)o Kuintiuk- Wilyum Clierkumsey Aigornoynian Kartoris Arnold. Yes sah, .Ist, 11 do no low-class nigger nan get in side o’ dat. Yoti'se tie solumn witness, boss dat dnt’s my name, from Ueucefo'th nu to all precedin’ time. I’se obliged to you, sail.’ As lie walked majestically away, repeat ing the name over to himself; he was the proudest nigger in Brunswick. Aud yet Hhakespearc aaj'R there is nothing ill n vstuo. —[Brunswickor. A Clerk's Slory. ‘Wlien 1 used to tend store the old mint ime n round one day, end sujr he, ‘Hoys, tl i one who sells tbo most between now and ChiiMuiits gets vest pattern, as n present’ Maybe Unit we did not work for the vtat pattern. I tell yott, there were some tall stories in praise of poods about thst time, but tbo tallest talker, and the one who had the most .cheek of any of us was a certain John (luires, who roomed with me. He could talk a dollar out of a man’s pocket when he only intended to spied a six-ponce, and the women—Lord bless you—they just handed over their pocket-boks to bitn and let him lay out "hat be liked for them. One nigltt John wcke cue up with, By Jove, old fellow if you think that ere’* co.tt.on in it, I’ll bring you down the sheep it was out (rom, and make hiui own his own wool. Twon’t wear out either; wore a pair of pants of that stuff for five years, and they are as !0 odes when I first put them pa. Take it at thirty oeuts, and I'll say you didn't ow me anything t.h —too dear? Well, caii it twenty-eight cents. What d'ye aay ? Ail right It’s ft bargaiu.' I could ttei John's he ode playing about the bed . totbes for an instant; then rip, tear, wfnt ennethiug or another, and I bid my head under lUe blankets, perfectly convulsed v ith laughter, and perfectly sure that Tohn had torn the best sheet from top to bottom. When I awoke the next morn ing 1 found the bark of my night-shirt .plit ft om the bottom to the collar-band. I feel very queer! ’’ was the remarks of * corpse” in Chicago, with whom a party ~f friends were sitting up. This little de -iatiou I rom the general conduct of corpses made the aitUs re-up feel queer too, and they capered out of there, leaving the "body” to S’.t up with itself. If dead bodies are going to act in this tnauner. they will hate sonic trouble iu getting people to sit cp with them. True liberty consists in the privilege of ,-nycying our own rights, not in the de struction of the rights of others mm* ► • • strong minds, like hardy evergreens,are most hardy iu winter, wheu feeble ones, like tender Rummer plants, are leasfless.

Toothache is generally produced from exposure of the nerve, by the decay of the tooth. For toothache, from exposed nerve, the Electric Relief is a certain remedy, and will posi tively destroy the nerve of the tooth, without injuring the teeth, at- Creosote and Carbolic Acid generally do. Many a Dentist’s bill can be laved by the timely use of the Electric Re \.\r.v. Toothache takes you unawares, therefore every bouse should have a bottle on hand, in case of necessity. Always use according to directions, and you will not be disappointed. Insert carefully in the hollow of the tooth a plug of cotton d ; pped in the Electric Relief; do not use the fingers; put the cotton on a pointed stick or toothpick when you insert. tr ice LAWRENCE & WEICIISELDAUM, Sole ProprifttoPs^ 2(.jy 158 Congress Street, SAVANNAH, GA.
