Left Aspinwall November 23d for Cedar

we were in latitude IL 81, longitude 7S IL;

About Advertising.

The Indianapolis Journal has an admira-
BILE article on "The Evolution of Advertis-
ing," in the course OF which it is very truly
said: advertising has been, like every
other adjunct Of modern life, a matter Of
evolution. Now it is fine, as well as a
useful art. 1t is inseparable from business.
1t is business. 1t continues to develop.
Now 1t is well understood that the journal
which sustains itself for its characteristics
as a newspaper has no rival as an ADVERT
sing medium. The day of placards, mere
advertising sheets, huge and preposterous
sign and bill boards, has passed. He who
would command the eye Of the public
must seek that medium which for other
reasons commands public respect. A good
newspaper, which is eagerly seized in the
morning because it is map Of the busy
world of the day before, can have no rival
as an advertising medium. 1t meets thou
sand eyes to which the little fraud living
al ne on the credulitY of its advertising
patrons never comes. 1t imparts to their
advertisements somewhat of the dignity
and good faith of its columns. The result
is that the best newspapers are the best
advertising mediums, and become so only
when they have earned and maintained a
character for enterprise and reliability"

An Enthusiastic Meeting OF the Ty-
beeites-The Wharf and Tramway
TO be Rebuilt at Once.

A meeting Of the bondholders OF the
Tybee Improvement Company was held last
evening at Metropolitan Hall, and was
largely attended, not only by those directly
interested in the bonded debt, but by
number who were only solicitous to
see our favorite summer resort
made once more accessible to
our people. The discussion elected the
fact that none had abandoned the ship"
and that those who had in the past done so
much towards the good work were willing
and ready to take hold again. 1t will be
seen that the directors were authorized TO
take such steps as are necessary to rebuild
the wharf and tramway and make such ad-
ditions as may be necessary to place the
property Of the company in condition for
its summer business.
By this is meant better wharf than be-
fore, and first class railroad with new 7
rlils. The two largest bondholders stated
that they would have all the necessary work
done and take new bonds Of the company
in payment.
4 short while after O'Clock, on motion
OF Captain 7. F. Screven, Colonel j. b.
Estill was called to the chair, and Major j.
F. Brooks requested to act as Secretary.
The purposes of the meeting being ex-
pidAucug GdCu EOnbACiAau PiO9SAS
upon to state the amount of bonds held by
him. which being done, 1t was found that
IS, $50 Of the SO $50 of mortgage bonds
were represented.
After remarks by several present, the fol-
lowing resolution was unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The bondholders of the Tybee
Improvement Company find that the said
company's property has been damaged by
the storm of August q, 1881, and the
company, unable to make any restoration
without assistance, be IL
ResoIved, That the bondholders accept, at
such time as the directors may deem proper,
a new issue of the compAny's bonds, dollar
for dollar, principal and interest, at the
time due, In lieu of the issue OF April,
1878, IN an amount sufficient to restore the
company's property, and to meet the pres
ent floating debt and the. cost of such i'm
provements and additions 20 the company's
property as may be necessary to the proper
development Of the objects OF the said
company.
An agreement in accordance with the
above resolution, and authorizing the direc-
tors of the company to issue new bonds in
lieu of the old ones. in an amount sufficient
to restore the company's property, to meet
outstanding liabilities, and the cost OF any
additions and improvements which may be
necessary to the development Of the island,
was drawn and signed by the bondholders
present. and the Secretary requested to pro
cure the signatures OF those who were
absent. The meeting then adjourned.

one Man KILLED ana Two Severely
Injured.

Yesterday morning about 9 O'Clock a ter
rible accident occurred on the Albany Dr.

ern Railway. We learn that the boiler Of
the engine attached TO the eastward bound
passenger train exploded when near Aucilla,
killing one OF the fremen, named Butler,
terribly scalding the engineer, Campbell,
and the other fireman, whose name we were
unable to ascertain.
At the last accounts Mr.. Campbell was
considered IN 3 critical condition, but the
injured fireman was doing as well as could
be expected. The cause OF the explosion
Is not known. The engineer and fireman
reside on the line of the Albany extension,

COurf H0usa Sales.

The monthly sales at the court house yes
terdsy attracted the usual crowd of bidders
and lockers on, including the professional
bidders, always to be found at such gather
ings, who always bid, but never with the in
tention of buying, though sometimes they
make a mistake and discover that they have
bought something they do not wish and
know not what to do with, as was the case
Yesterday with the party who bought ten
dollar mule for fifteen dollars and half,
and afterwards got a colored citizen to take
the animal for five dollars.
Some of the live stock, however, was
sold at very fair prices, and also some
wagons and other vehicles. The real estate
sold brought good prices, and Central
Railroad stock was purchased several points
above what IL was offered for on the Bay,
aud what was considered the market price,
showing that the persuasive eloquence of
the auctiOneer is often Of value IN the dis
position of property. The folio NC sales
