A young mail unco said ho needed
bnt one thing, and that was a wife:
securing one, be awoke to Ibe realiza
tion of the fact that he needed every
thing but a wife. As a town we used
to think all we needed was n hotel;
now that wo have got a hotel, and a
nico one, too, it it, we find wo need a
grant many other things One want
scorns to call for nnotber—as we grow
In importance onr needs increase. In
looking nronnd we find wo wnnt sev
oral things, vis: A hank, an exclusive
wholesale and retail dry goods estab
lishment, an exclusive boot and shoo
and clothiug store, n laundry, a steam-
tug owned by our own people, aud
also propor connections with Fenian-
dina, St. Marys, Cumberland, the Sa-
tilla ami Darien. These are not all,
bnt tInn are the must important
which occur to ils at this moment,—
Now let ns see if we are going to gut
any of thorn. First comes the bank,
and it is nu assured fact; the third
need is a certainty, as tho goods are
now being bought; the fourth Imuga
fire; the fifth is nssnrod beyond cavil;
the sixth is being worked up, nnd on
ly needs a little time. Now, who will
fill tho second need, viz, the exclusive
dry goods establishment ? We innst.
have this before we can compete suc
cessfully fur the interior trade,
call no mao master so far ns groceries,
provisions, grain, hay, etc., are con
corned. Our wholosalo dunlers nro

If onr grocery men control the interi-

Ill tin's connection wo might say

take care of themselves. If yon doubt
it, just call on Mossrs. Chess, Curley

THE ERLANQER SYSTEM
Louisville Letter to New York World.
The Lonisvillo and Nashville sys
tem is familiar to all who are inter-
ested in sonthern railroads, bnt the
Erlauger possessions are so disoon
nectcd, nnd tho work of building nec
essary to complete the system is so
scattered that an account of.the plans

60ntb that I lind Injd before them.—
Onr start was the ownership of the
Alabama Sontberu road, formerly the
Alabama and Clmttanoogn, extending
from Chattanooga in a southwesterly
iliroetion to Meridian, Miss., a dis
tance of 200 miles. This line is now

We are plensod to announce that
our public schools opened tills week

There is no donrth of scholars, but it

bnt we a.e glad to state that the mat
ter of difference between the Couucil
and tlie school board, of whicli wo
wrote recently, has boon adjusted, as
rill la- seen by reference to tbo Conn
i! proceedings published iu these
columns, ami, in consequence, two
more teachers lmvo beou added to Ihc
force. Our people, therefore, both
while aud colored, may congratulate
tliionselvos on tbo school situation.—
We might mention in this couucction
that tlie new principal of the colored
seliool, Prof. Johnson, comes highly

by our board bears ont the rccom-
monihitions admirably. Now let tlie
teachers take bold with vim and on

Fourteen KMltlern.
Fourteen rattlesnakes were killed
on Satilln Neck, tbia week, at ono
time, by Mr. A. E. Royal. They had
their home in a hollow log. Tho old
mother snake was outside, nml when
pursued fled to her den, time discov
ering the whoroaboats of her numer
ous progeny. The log was broken open
and tho work of extermination began.
The old snake was a lingo one, and
tho young ones about eighteen ineboa
in length. Mr. Royal says it was not
very good day for Bnakcs cither.
That Ilnilroiwl to D:tric*n.
It is very strange how persistently
onr Daricu cotomporary will cling to
tho delnsion that a railroad is to be
built from No. 1 to Evelyn. He has
twice made tho assertion. This week
be states that the snrvey will soon bo
mado. Mr. Conper, who is working
np this matter, informs us that be has
no such idea—that the rood is to be
bnilt to Bmntwiek.
Five years ago to-morrow yellow fe-
ver was declared epidemic in onr city.

Betwoon Eutaw anil Brunswick a

W. IP. Watkins, Councilman
Dear Sta—In regard to tho ques
tion you asked me in reference to tbo
proceeds from tho lease of Donnis’
Folly, I will statu that, nftor an exam
ination of the city charter, tho resolu
tion possod in pnrsnanco thereof, and
tho lenso of the Folly to Epping, I am
clearly of tho conclusion that all oi
tbo money arising from tho lcaso
should go to the support of tho fruo
public ichools of the city. Tho lease
describes Deuuis Folly ns Town Com
mons and gives tho water front to-wit:
Turtle river, ns ono of tho boundaries
of tho lenso tract.
On page cloven of tho published
code of ordinances etc., of tho city
city of Brunswick, and soction 42 of
city olinrtor, wo find tho following lan
guage : “Aud nil rovouuo derived
from tho rents, or taxes of tho said
Town Commons, (not including im
provements thereon), shall bo appro
priated by tho city Council in such
raanuor as they may deem expedient
aud prefer to tho support of free pub
lic schools iu said city.”
You will notice from the ubovu that
tho revenue from the lease and tax of
Town Commons (with tho exception
of any improvements) goes to tho
school fund. Tho only question is
whether Deuuis’ Folly is Town Com
mons; if so, there being no improve
ments upon it, the lease and tax
money would go to the support of the
schools. It is said, bowovor, that
Dennis’ Folly tract was leased because
of its water privileges, and would not
lmvo brought so largo a sum hut for
that fact, and therefore tbo city is en
titled to rrtnin a part of tho proceeds
of tho lease. I think this conclusion
is erroneous, as nothing is said
about tho wstor-front, with ils
privileges, boing reserved to the city,
cithor in the louse or in tlm charter,
or any resolution of Council. Tlie
commons icosod being more valuable
because they have a water-front docs
not, in my opinion, change the law of
the ease.
I write you this note to explain my
viows on tho subject, as I cannot be
present to-morrow at the meeting
of your committoe, having boen called
out of the city on important business.
Yours very truly,
Iiia E. Smith
IVfi—Tbo loaso docs not show in
so many words that tbo city leased
Epping any wator privileges, and if
the water privileges are not a part and
parcel of tho rights annexed to the
Town Commons, nnd therefore go with
the tensed properly ,thu water privileges
bnvo novor been leased. If they have
beou leased under tbo Epping lease,
they were leased as Town Gunmens,
d tho lease money must go to lliu
pnblic schools.

Tlio following from the Savannah
Beconkr, is oa applicable to Bruns
wick oa to that city :
No habit is more pernicious than
that of contracting debt When once
under the influence of creditors, the!
obligation will weigh ono down ns a |
millstone, and it wilt require the
greatest selt-deni il and |a>r»< verauec j
to get rid of the burden. It is not|
uncommon for onr young men to live j
beyond their means. In tlie laqa* of I
restoring fortune and credit, theft or!
forgery is ronnuittud. Such exam- j
pics are daily clironich-d as the cause
of many suicides, and nre show" in
tho numerous inmates of tlie Stale
prison, whose cureless imhit of con-
trading debts was the tint step to that
disgraceful abode. Pay as you go.-
This is applicable to every station in
life; to the rich, to the poor, tlie ig
norant, tho wise. Bail debts scatter
misery and desolation; tboy transform
palscca into hovels, and change rich
garmenta into pitiful rug*- Tim cred
