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. Debtors and Creditors.
