- From the way some Of our sub
sctibers act In not paying up their
subscription. We imagine that they.
when reading that the subscription
price to the STAR is So so, a year in
advance, suppose we are TO advance the

to do it. But this is q mistake. dear

- Says the Bay st. Louis Herald Of
last week "Mr. Fullilove, OF Carroll
county. who bought land at the Bay
some time ago. has arrived and gone to
work Ia earnest. With such men as
Fullilove, Boone, Gholson, Weir, and
others, we may expect to see some OF
the OF this beautiful country
developed. They are not men to stand
idle and complain of hard times"
Mr.. H. E. Anderson, who has been
book-keeper al M. A. Dses' store for

- Last Tuesday Mr.. T. R. Jones. as-
sistant l~ight-keeper on Horn island.
had his boat capsized at Mr.. 8. bod.
sons wharf, under the following cir
cumstances. The main sheets we're
made fast to the wharf, and when he
let the painter go, the bow OF the boat
swung of. the main sheets got foul
aboard, and the boat swung round and
filed. He lost q boat-hook, oar, and
Ratchet. but sustained no other damage.
There is q thing connected with
the seizure of logs by the marshals that
we would like explained. For instance,
the logs OF MI. j. w. Faulkner. that
are in Cedar creek, near Auericus,
have been seized, when there are hun
dreds of other logs 10 this creek that
we're cut from the same lands off which
Mr.. Faulkner cut his, that have not
been touched. This action OF the mar
shals may he all right, but it looks a
little singular to q man up 0 tree.
Last Fridays Pensacola Gazette
says that on the 22d Capt. Williams, Of
the bark Walton, while on a visit 70
the ship Marathon met with a serious
accident. While walking across the
taffrail to enter his boat, which was IN
waiting at the foot of the ladder, his
foot slipped and he fell headlong over
the side OF the ship, striking on the
ladder with such force as to precipitate
him over the bow of bis boat into the
water. He Yves rescued by the crew of
his boat, and is recovering from the
injuries sustained, which we're quite
serious.
@ lite an interestin 8 and amusing
case came before Squire Farragut last
Wednesday. 1t appears that Henry
Nsr ,ies, a gay colored Lothario, had
become most too intimate with Miss
Mary Charles to suit the IDEAS of
morality and refinement of Miss
Msry's father, 30 old man Chawles
had his daughter sue out q warrant for
the aforesaid z. C. L., and fotch him

rum and morality of this end of the
beat. Naroies, when he found he had
been caught, acknowledged his sin and
compromised the case by taking out a
license. They we're married by Judge
Fsrragut, in the presence Of q large and
gazing assemblsge.
