Advertisements as News.

By falling to observe what was to appear
in their advertising columns the other day
the New York Herald and Times lost an OPP
portunity to comment editorially on very
important event, the prospective retirement
of A. T. Stewart & Co. from business. The
New York Commercial Adj ertiSer, commenting
upon the matter, very pertinently adds: awe
repeat, there is much interesting and use
full information in the advertising columns. /"
That is emphatically true. Expert news
paper readers never fail to go through
those columns for news. They are
really the popular department OF the
newspaper, the department edited by the
people themselves. And on this point we
wish to say that the freshest, the newsiest
and the most profitable advertising for both
readers and advertisers is that which is per-
sonallv prepared by business men them
selves. Outside agents cannot talk as intel
ligently about a msn's business affairs as
the principal himself can talk. The best
advertisers in this town-those who make q
business of it and conduct it on scientific
principles-have their notices to the public
prepared either by themselves or under their
immediate supervision. And It may be said
further that where this subject receives
the attention 1t deserves, the skillful ad
vertiser can trace the connection between
cause and effect; he is clearly able to see
when and where the seed sown in the adVer
Using columns OF the newspapers springs
up and bears fruit a hundrt or a thou and
fold. 1t is only the inexperienced and
usually the unsuccessful business man who
questions the advantage of advertising.
There is not more than one branch OF bust
ness among a hundred that can succeed
without it, and there is not one In fifty
which, If Intelligence, enterprise and pluck
in advertising are displayed, will not become
profitable.

O1e of the handsomest little yachts that
has ever visited our waters, the Chino, is
now in port from Florida, where a party,
consisting of her owner, Frank & johnson,
Esq, who also is the engineer under a
special license: his brother, G. F. johnson,
ESQ, mate; and her commander, Captain
d. F. Peet, have been spending the winter,
and are now on their way home. The yacht
was launched at Middle Bay, New York, in
November last, where she was built out of
white oak with hack me-tack joints. Her
length is ~ feet, under keel Al feet, beam
l01< feet, depth of hold feet, and cost
$500. She is supplied with new patent
engine known as the Colts disc, which works
almost noiselesslY, and she moves so grace
fully through the water that one hardly
realizes that she is in motion, and a speed
of ten miles per hour is attained with the
greatest ease. She will be left here till
next winter, when her owner and party will
pay another visit to Florida, having been
delighted with their trip and the abundance

The Accommodation Train on the
Central Railroad.

WHITEsvILLE, No. 3, G. r. R., May l.
Editor Morning Nes0s: 1 notice in your
paper of this date that the Central
Railroad has advertised to run an
accommodation train as far up the road as
Oliver or station ~, stopping at all inter
mediate stations, every day except Sundays.
This announcement is of so much import
ance that it should meet with more than
passing notice from all who are seeking
simmer homes near the city. For many
years past your citizens have been prevented
from sojourning at the most delightful and
healthy locations along the line of this road
during the summer, because they could not
utilize the trains running In its regular
schedules. The demands have been so great
of late that this obstacle has been overcome
by this fast train, which makes its first
trip to-day. In looking over the different
points on the line of road too much cannot
be said OF the beautiful village OF Whites
vile. This place is situated thirty miles
from Savannah, on the Central Railroad
Zone hours rum, and is on the slope and
summit of a hill which nature seems to have
intended for mans habitatiOn. It Is
beautifully laid off into streets or avenues,
well shaded by oaks, sycamores and other
trees. The water Of Whitesville is equal to
that of the mountainous sections of Georgia,
being so cold during the summer that the
use of ice is unnecessary, the wells pene-
trating a solid bed of clay and varying from
twenty-five to thirty feet in depth. It's
climate is so delightful and its atmosphere
so dry that it cannot be surpassed as resort
for invalids, or those who require change.
In a conversation with a noted physician,
resident Of the village, he assured the writer
that In his practice of several years in its
vicinity he had never had but one
case of pneumonia. The white population
of Whitesville is between one and two hun-
dred persons, and its society is unsurpassed.
1t has two churches-one Methodist and
one Baptist. Much more might be said Of
this beautiful village of it's advantages for
fishing, being near the Ogeechee Of its
pleasant drives OF its cool nights of its
freedom from mosquitoes, no nets being re-
quired but l will not trespass on your
space. The fast train leaves here every
morning, except Sunday, at O'Clock, re-
turning at in the evening. "HEALTH.

A Bull on the Rampage.

At hslf-past nine o'clock yesterday morn
Ing some blooded cattle were about to be
shipped or the steamer City of Bridgeton,
which was living at the wharf Of the Georgia
and Florida Steamboat Company. Among
the lot was a fine bull. which was tied on
the wharf, waiting to be conveyed on board.
a policeman was pstrolling the wharf and
several gentlemen sitting in chairs, while
the usual number of idlers were standing
about, when the bull suddenly broke loo e.
aud charged on the crowd, who
did not stand upon the order
of going, but went at once
and in all directions to escape from the en-
ragged animal. The scene was very anus
ing to those who were at a safe distance
from the bull, but the others did not seem to
epjoy the situation. A rope was thrown
around the animals horns by colored
mqn, when he was brought back and gotten
on board the steamer with considerable
difficulty

Social Gathering OF the Ford Anna
teuFa.

Last evening Mozart Hall was the scene
of pleasant social gathering of the Ford
Amateurs and their lady friends. The
Republican Blues Brass Band were present
and furnished delightful music for the

songs. Mr.. 7. B. Catherwood rec!ted "Bin-
gen on the Rhine" Mr.. James F. NELL re-
cited "The Visit OF Queen Nab" Mr..

there were duets and solos, and the

tee had provided ample refreshments, and
the measure of time was filled up with
pleasant converse over delicious cream,
lemonade, etc. The gathering was eminently
a social and informal affair, and was greatly
enjoyed by all who had the good fortune to
be present.

WOMAN.
Hope for Suffering WOman-SOme-
thing New Under the Sun.

By reason Of her peculiar relations, and her
peculiar ailments. woman has been compelled
to suffer, not only her own ills. but those aris-
ing from the want Of knowledge, or Of con-
sideration on the part of those with whom she
stands connected in the social organization.
The frequent and distressing irregularities pc
culiar to her sex have thus been aggravated to
a degree which no language can express. In
poor alike, woman has been the patient victim
of ills unknown to man, and which none but
she could endure-and without remedy. But
now the hour of her redemption has come.

relief in DR.. ]. Bradfeld's Female Regulator.

The enterprising proprietor of the Mar

The enterprislng proprietor OF the Mar
shall House, Mr.. John Bresnan, has de-
termined upon a reduction in the rate of
board for the summer to two dollars per
day, which will be gratifying news to hun
dreds throughout this section. This reduc-
ton, however, does not affect the conduct
of the hotel, and the table will be kept up
to the high standard Of excellence which
has made the Marshall famous under It's
present regime. The rooms are large, well
ventilated and comfortably furnished, and
guests have every attention and courtesy.
This reduction by the proprietor will Ee
appreciated by the hundreds whose bust
ness calls them to Savannah during the
summer months, and is certainly extremely
reasonable, when the character of the hos
telry is considered. We predict for mine
