for miles one nliect of water after
a other could be ae. n.
It, was not until we rcache 1 about
20 mil' - below’ the city that xve could
com-id' it he crop, either corn or cotton

Scovil hoc or it maybe one like unto
‘d’lain Pi 1 Tutt s ' received in honor
of his service to the Bacon campaign
On arriving at Millen the uignal
was given to change curs for Savannah.
Os course our party understood what
this meant, nt least in the course ol
time we found out very much to our
discomfort. Our allotted time to
wait for the Macon train bound for
Savannah, according to the schedule,
ran out, but we went not. The stern
fact soon confronted us that we were
completely “tied up 'and for how long
n time we could not learn, on account
of a terrible washout on the road b ■
tween .Millen and Macon. Pending
the time we were escorted to the
artesian well by our friend Chariie,
who insisted upon a trial of the cele
brated water, whereupon wo decided
to give it a test upon a small scale, the
result of which furnished fun for
friend Charlie during the remainder
of the journey, at the expense of this
scribe.
As the evening passed oil'the ques
tion, bearing upon itsfaee indications
of sadness and anything but satisfac
tion- "Do you hear anything from
the train”—could lie heard constantlv
Hi ked, and ns usual, under such cir
cunistiinees with n negative reply. At
last we were informed that we must
take quarters nt the Millen Hotel,
w hich, i>y-the-wny, reflects credit upon
the phi 'o and shows good taste upon
the part of its enterprising people.
At three o'clock on Friday morn
ing we were moused from slumber
and informed that wo could proceed
on oar journey, which was quite
agreeable to the whole party.
Safely on board again, wo soon
reached our destination, met at the
depot by that prince of good fellows,
Mr. George M. Tice, with whom we
i were to make our sojourn in Screven
county for several days. Arriving nt
his < h>: ant home we soon dismissed
the anxieties of the past few hours.
l'i lend George had already arrang
ed t > tai ea part of our crowd to a
Masonic meeting, several miles from
Ins home; being found among the
, tribo who knew something about
"riding the goat” and “climbing tie
greasy pole” we were numbered with
the party found wending their way to
red lied Bluff Lodge, where we spent
a m. st agreeable day and formed
i many pleasant acquainiances. Along
i the route we noticed very tiiie crops,
l elegant churches and school houses,
which left the impression upon a
strangei s mind that the citizens of
Screven were a progressive people in
every sense of the word
During our ride friend George,
who is always ready for something
lively, while discussing the interest
manifested in education by the ne
gro lac . tsxrk occasion to tell us of a
subject which had been iliseussed bx
them in a debating societv, viz:
“Whieh is the most destructive to the
human family, the chinch or the Hea ?”
ks to which side gained it he was not
able tell, but was confident that it was
a very appropriate question at this
: season of the year, to relieve the mo
notony of politics.
On Saturday morning we attended
meeting at Douglass Branch Cl i reh
where we had been under promise
for several years to go. Here w<> met
the p pular pastor Rev. H ,1. Arnett,
anil assisted him for several days in a
meeting. The meeting iucreasexl in
interest from day to day until our
time arrived to return home. Among
other inter' ding features of the ser
vice was the singing. Heldotn have i
we ever listened to better sacred I
music, or more skillfully,trained voices
than those nt this church, led by that,
kind and hospitable gentleman, Mr.
Abram Burke, nt whose pleasant home
it was our pleasure to make a short ■
visit. Mr. 8., while filling the office I
cf County Trcnsurer, is also one of 1
Screven's model farmers, as a glance |
ov< r his miigniticent crop will verify
to the eve of the most casual observer.
Screven is not only a fine farming
county in the wire grass region, but
it is also not a whit behind Burke and
Richmond in the watermelon business,
and this year is considerably in ad
vance of either in shipping. They
grow large and are very fine in
quality.
The turpentine business is carried
on ext< nsi .ely in the county.
At last the time for our departure
came, and we bid adieu to those we
had met ar. i who by theiropen-heart-
hid won our affections and
highest esteem. We entertain a hope
cf visiting them again at an early day.

! Fortunato Escape,
Augusta Chronicle: It was a
fortunate chance that the city was not
startled with the news of the drown
ing of two little boys in the river
yesterday. One of the youngsters
concluded to take a bath, and waded
into the liver, just at the mouth of
Hawk s Gully, a place recognized as
one of the most dangerous for swim
mers in this neighborhood, and wbe.e
a number of adventurous ones have
lost tin ir lives. The little fellow go
beyond his depth and would certainly
have drowned had it not been for a
plucky acton the part of his older
brother, about twelve years of age,
who sprang into the water, with his
clothes on, and managed to shove the
drowning boy into where he could
touch bottom. The oldest of the
brothers was also unable to swim,
but was rescued by a companion,
who reached out and caught his
hand. It was indeed a narrow
escape for both and should serve as a
warning in the future. Parents should
be particularly strict with their boys
in reference to bathing in the river.

was like fire to tne sore, causing intense ; aiu.- I saw a statement m the papers telling what
