A Boats Strange Occupants.



The steamer Angie and Nellie picked
up "Outside" on Tuesday last a yawl boat
with centreboard. She must have been
adrift for sometime, for there were guam
titles OF sea shells sticking to her sides.
She was nearly filled with water when
found. in which were a number OF small
fish and one pilot fish two feet long.
This latter specimen of the tinny tribe is
the first Of its species we ever saw. 1t
has something OF the look of cat
fish. only the head IS narrower, and
it is provided with an arrangement
on its back near the head, and some four
inches long, that is corrugated like the
roof Of a PERSONS mouth. This, the old
sailors tell Us, is its suction pump. With
this the fish can stick itself on to flesh so
tightly as TO tear the skin with it when
pulled away. The history of this boat
with its strange pilot will probably re-
main a mystery. 1t looks like a ships
boat, and could it speak might tell tale
OF woe heartrending indeed. 1t might
have rescued the crew of some laundering
ship only TO cast their bodies at last into
old oceans tempestuous domain, there to
ind a Watery grave.

gentleman offers to furnish $4,000 OF the

the house. They ask that the remaining
$l5, 600 be put up by the citizens of Gaines

there should be no difficulty experienced
in selling $4,000 worth OF stock in $780,

Just after the war, before the MethO-
dist church was ceiled, millman
happened there at church on Sunday, and
seeing the heavy framing and bracing of
the church, remarked, that if the framing
Of that building could be cut of, say eight
feet above the floor and Gaping put on, 1t
would be the finest mill frame he had ever
SEEM" The building was put up by Mr..

time, returned it filled with artesian
water instead CT the desired spirituOus
consolation, and warned the purchaser
not to open it until he was on the train.
Boarding the train he went on his way
rejoicing, and, reaching Rocky Ford in
due time, met a number of his friends,
and opening his jug began to pass 1t
round. The first one TO take sip held
his peace, and the second took a pull and
likewise kept mum, but the third man
couldn't stand the disappointment and
threw the jug against a tree and broke it
into fragments.

A shame.
From the Basley Banner.

From the Bailey Banner.
About eight or nine years ago young
mulatto woman came to Baxley with an
infant child in her arms. She gave this
child to PArsOn Lewis Cook and his wife,
who lived near Baxley. The child has
been staying with them from then until
now. This is the child that Isaac G. Sell
ers raped ABOUT two weeks ago, and has
bid the county farewell in order to evade
arrest. The treatment Of Cook and his
wife have been shameful towards this
child. The latter is gone nearly all the
time, and has not been home in two
months; the former is seldom at home,
being engaged in work some six miles
away. The child has been left at home
alone, unprotected and uncared for.
Is 1t not the duty Of our Ordinary to
take notice of this case, and have a fit and
proper person appointed guardian for the
child? We think so.

OId-Time ETIQUETTE i'm Virginia.


ETONt Gtc A9poS"Se ubNtNAfs
Queer vestiges of old-time etiquette still
linger in Virginia. 1t used to be, and in
a measure is still, considered the height
of rudeness for one person in driving to
pass another person on the road. AS a
result, the slowest coach on the road
could keep all the others behind it; time
and distance were relatively OF no impor-
tance. Even now the people apologize
when they pass each other on the road.
1t has also been alleged that really high
bred VIrginian never so far fOrgets Ell

he was from, because the stranger might
be forced to acknowledge that he was
from some other State than Virginia, and
it was only charity to spare him this NOR
