Mr. fahkr: A question of some
considerable importance to the cit
izens of Brunswick having arisen
liefore the Grand Jury at the re
cent term of tho Superior Court, I
have been asked .to give, through
your columns, whatever informa
tion I may ^siesess touching the
matter, in order that a proper solu
.tior. of the question may be
reached, if poesiUc.
It wnsascertaincd, through inves
tigations rosde by the Grand Jury
that the Glynn County Board o 1
Kducation havo been, for several
years, distributing the proorcdB of
the Glynn County Academy Fund
among all the schools established
by them throughout the county.—
Home of the members insisted that
the entire proceeds should be ap
propriated to the schools in Bruns
wick, while other members insisted
that they should be divider! among
all the schools in tire county.
It will be necessary, in order that
the question may be properly set
tled, to first examine the law creat
ing the academy nud the fund by
which it was to be supporter), and
then the manner in which the pro
ceeds of lip fund were used Ire-
fore the creation qf the prosent
lionrd of Education.
Alappaha has received an in-
in population of about twen
ty during the last four months.
And ]-salinger says he knows of
several families who would move in
if they could get houses. The city
of Alappaha looms up in the tlim
future. •
On the night of the 10th inst., a
most disastrous fire occurred in
Pensacola, Fla., reducing nine-
tentha of the business portion of
the city to ashes. The loss is alrmtl
half a million of dollnrs About
fitly families are rendered homeless.
The Berrien Omnly fllcu* says it
hears less complaint of hard times
at borne than any where else, and
gives as a reason that the |«cnple of
Berrien are self-sustaining, anti
what they don’t raise they are able
fo pay for.
At the reoent municipal electior
In Macon, Mr. Felix Corput was
sleeted Mayor. He has been fill
ing the place for some time, since
fho removal of Mr. Jlutf to At
lanta.
A bill incorporating as a city the
Jown of Cnchmn has just |>o*»cd the
legislature, and her peiqtie can
now enjoy the blessed privilege of
worrying oyer hog laws, etc.
Macon, Grifiin, Augusta and At
lanta witnessed the wonderful sight,
on the 9th inst., of a mvtcor in
the broad daylight, about five p, m.
A committee of Macon gentle
men have collected and forwarded
for the Hood Memorial Fund $666.
AS TO THE l-AW CURAT!NO THE ACAD
EMY AND THE POND SUFIXIKT-
1X0 THE SAME.
The Colonial Government, when
they determined to lay out ami
build a town, fo be called Bruns
wick, at Carr’s Field, on what was
then known ns I’lug Point, reserved
the entire peninsula, containing
soino '2,000 acres, for public use.
nud this reservation afterwnrds lie-
came known ns the Town Commons
of Brunswick. Tho town and corn
minis were laid out ami defined
under a subsequent order of the
Colonial Government, but the Rev
olutionary War coming on very
soon afterwards, nothing could be
done towards building tho town
until after the close of the war. In
the year 1790, the legislature of
the State passed an net appointing
commissioners for the town nnd
commons of Brunswick, nnd
authoriiing them to make a re-sur-
vcy of tho town ami commons.—
The act required all claimants to
come forward ami ninku a return
of their lots, and pay so much |icr
lot to defray the expenses of the
survey. Tho commissioners were
required to give nine mouths' no
tice in one of the gazettes of Savan
nah that all unclaimed lots would,
at the end of that time, he sold, and
that the proceeds arising from the
sale should he applied to tho sup
port of an academy or institution
of learning. The act also author
ized the commissioners to lease out
the remainder of the commons,
nnd apply the proceeds to the sil|>-
port of the aendomy; and also made
it a penal offense for any person to
run up, or even to attempt to run
up, any portion of the town or com
mons under a head right grant,
subjecting the offender to impris
onment ill the common jail and a
fine of live hundred dollars, one-
half of which should go to the in
former and the other to the support
of the academy. This act is the
find mention made of the academy
or of the fund for its sup|Hirt. The
Legislature passed an net during
the next year (1797), the second
section of which was in these
words:

And, tyhereas, it has been
found that there ij much more land
reserved fur the commons of Bruns
wick than is necessary forthntpur
pose, be it enacted that the com-
lOiseioiiers of the town and com
tfior.s of Brunswick are hereby au
thorized to sell and dispose of five
hundred acres of said commons, at
such time ami place aa they may
dor the first act. and the sale of the
five hundred acres of Ifie commons
made uuder the seoond. To the
fund thus created was added the
proceeds from the leases of the
town .commons and a large portion
of what is now known as the Old
Town, until the year 1837, when
the I-egislnture passed another act,
in the preamble of which they
stated tlmt, whereas, there were
about nine hundred acres of towD
commons, which was more than
convenience or necessity required,
the commissioners were authorized
to sell three hundred acres of the
same, ami apply the proceeds to
the use of the academy. This sale
was made, ami covered what is now
known aa the New Town of Bruns
wick. This sale added very mate
rially to the then existing academy
fund, which, with the accumula
tion of interest, reached, at the
opening uf the lute war, something
over $20,000 00.
It will thus be seen that the
ncadetny fund was derived solely
from the sale of the town commons
of Brunswick—not one dollar was
ever derived from any other source.
The academy fund linving been
derived from the sale of commons
belonging toldy to tho citizens of
Brunswick, enn it be either legal or
equitable that any portion of tho
fund should be applied to schools
outsido of tho city of Brunswick 7
THE MANNER IN WHICH THE PROCEEDS
or THE FUND WERE USED BEFORE
THE CREATION OF THE PRESENT
BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Having had occasion, ns a mem
ber of the Board of Trustees of the
Glynn County Academy, to care
fully examine the proceedings of
the Board front the creation ni the
academy up to the year 18.56, I am
prepared to say positively that not
one dollar was over appropriated lo
any school outside of tho city of
Brunswick prior to that date. In
the yenr 1857, tho trustees of the
academy, of whom I was one, con
sented to assist in maintaining two
schools ill the county—one at or
nenr St. Paul’s Church, and one on
the St. Ilia Neck, and asked the
legislature for authority to do so.
This arrangement only applied to
the payment of teachers after the
interest of the fund created by the
Massie donation became exhausted.
This Massie fund was g donation
of $5,000 00 given to Glynn oounty
for educational purposes, nnd was
under the exclusive control of the
Inferior Court, nnd was nppropri.
nted solely to tho maintenance of
schools outside the city of Bruns
wick. The only aid that was giv
en tho county under this arrange
ment, was the building of two
school houses nt the points named,
the interest of the Massie fund be
ing sufficient to pay the teachers.
The entire Massie fund and a con
siderable portion of the academy
fund were lost by the results of tho
Into war, nnd after tho wnr tho trus-
tecs of the academy confined the
fund to schools in Brunswick, and
continued to do so until the crea
tion of the present board of educa
tion in the year 1873. The board
of rdueation consists of six mem
bers—three elected by the Mayor
and Council of the city of Bruns
wick, nnd three by tho Grand Ju
ry—one for each of the militia dis
tricts outside ot the city of Bruns
wick. It is made the duty of the
board to make tho Mayor and Coun
cil, whenever required to do so, a
report of its financial condition,
touching all schools established or
aided in the city. The present
academy fund consists of $8,500
city of Brunswick bonds,
and town lots and claims
amounting to some $5,000 00
more. The annual interest on the
honds of the city amounts to $595;

DAVID WEISBEIN,
DEALER IN DRY G00p$, NOTIONS, AC.
Front the 8avannah Time*, October 8th,
It I* an old and true Maying that energy and bnsineea tact will al vaya com
mand Rucreaa, and Mr. David Weiabein la a living llluHtratlon of the troth of
tbnt azlag#. Only a few year* back we can remember liiin aa the proprietor of
a little 10x12 dry guoda etore, with bnl very little more atock than that re
quired to fill the ahow windowa of hia preaent etore. bnt to-day. on '-nqniring
for Weiabein a dry good etore, yon are abown to ona of the Urgent anl moat
completely arranged dry goods atore, and that, too, containing a ntock of
goo«la iu each department from which even the inoat skeptical can select with
entire aattsfactizm, both aa to quality and pri>-o. The enterprising proprietor
haa earned an enviable name for bia establishment, and it La kuown through
out all aoctlona of the country aa WaisBKi* a Cukaf I»bt Goods Store, and aa
an indiapntable evidence of his Jnst claim to that distinction, we need only re*
fer the reader to the numerous ovideucea contained in hta advertisement. Much
an eudoraeraeut is even stronger than newspaper talk, and la not only well
deserved, l»nt also iu keeping with the well-earned reputation of Mr. Weiabein
for square dealing and prompt attention to every detail of hia business. He is
now ready with hto.atock for the toll and winter trade, which embraces all of
the latest novelties in hia line of trazie, and those who favor him with orders
fur either hia wholesale or bia retail department will never have cause to re
gret It.
One of the^nain features of hia establishment la that he be brings it to the
door of every customer; In fact, before the door of every^bouse on every cross
road by^hlssystem, namely; Any one who writes for samples receives them by
the next mail, with prices and price Hat, from which selections arc made, and
the order forwarded. When the order amztnnta to ten dollars, and the money
la sent, he prepara the freight. If the guzxla are ordered •• C. O. D.” and the
order amounts to twenty dollara, he prepays the freight. Hence, every con
sumer can select hia goods hundreds of miles away from Havenuah. juat aa well
as If they were In Ravonnah, and get them delivered to their nearest station,
free of express or freight charges, at hia low prices, and thereby secure a great
saving to themselves-besides th*y are not compelled to buy from a country
atore, who only keep a limited assortment of goods.
of the proceeds of tho academy
fund was initiated by tho members
composing the first board of educa-
tion and the members of the pres
ent board have only followed the
course adopted by the previous
boards, believing it to be right, and
they are not, therefore, rcsjKtusiblc
for tho wrong done. The wrong
should, however, lie immediately
corrected, ami it is the duty of the
Mnyor and Council to see that it is
done. Very respectfully, _
