STEAMBOATS ON OCMULGEE.
Macon and Brunswick Capitalists
will Establish a Line of Steamboats-
Brunswick Journal : The fail
ure of the steamer Maloy, some
weeks ago to establish a line be
tween Macon and Brunswick, has
not detered the business men of
Macon in their determination to
establish such a line, and even now
there is something doing up in the
Central City.
The business men of Brunswick
would be delighted to assist such a
project in any way possible and it
is believed that they will meet the
Macon people half way with any
proposition. The line would be
of value to local wholesale houses
on account of the numerous land
ings between Brunswick.
The Macon Telegraph yesterday
had 11 is to say in regard to the
establishment of the steamer line:
In line with the ideas advanced
by The Telegraph, for the benefit
of Greater Macon, it is possible to
announce tins morning that a
meeting will be held for the pur
pose of considering the develop
ment of trade in general and the
securing of low rates made possi
ble by the inauguration of a line
of steamboats on the Ocmulgee
river.
In the city last night were Mr.
j, E. Melton, one of the most
prominent lumbermen and sawmill
men of South < Georgia. The Tel
egraph sought him for an inter
view, but he prefcred to remain
silent.
The Telegraph learns from other
sources, however, the following:
“There has been formed an organ
ization composed of prominent
business men with sufficient capital
to carry out this move in the
event of proper encouragement
from the merchants of Macon to
give them a competitive line of
steamers on the Ocmulgee and Al
tfaogaha rivers and assure thew .1
certafivAv boats ne. week
from Brunswick iVnd .Savannah.
The business men of this city,
along with 'The Telegraph, believe,
proper encouragement will be af
forded any proposition looking to
the carrying out of this long de
ferred scheme. It is learned that
the movement is backed by men of
industry and capital, who with
proper encouragement will soon
establish river navigation to ihe
sea coast.
The Telegraph has sought an
interview from Mr. J. E. Melton,
but while that gentleman refuses
to talk tor publication, its knowl
edge of the man warrants Ihe most
careful consideration of bis moves.
Howe’s Great Shows-
Douglas Saturday Nov. cist. —
You may receive many flattering
comments while you are present,
but when you are absent and nice
things are said about you they are
of much greater value. We quote
a le.v unsolicited press comments
concerning Ilowe’s (Jreat London
Shows after the exhibition bad been
gi\ f en and tho show had left the
town.
The tents of Howe’s London
Shows were packed and the large
crowd highly pleased. It is a clean
up-to-date show and worthy the
liberal patronage it receives.—
(Stand Junction Colo., Daily Sen
tinel.
It was a clean, moral, up-to-date
entertainment and gave universal
satisfaction. War rent on, Mo.,
Press.
The Show gave universal satisfac
tion, many features being the best
ever seen in this city.—Vernon.
Texas, Call.
The performance was good. The
Show is the largest that has ever
visited this place.—Memphis Re
cord.
Show more than they advertise.
| They are good people.—Bain bridge,
Ga.. Democrat.
The performances were fully up
to the standard.—Ouray Colo..
Herald.
It is a clean, moral show.—Mon
trose Colo., Press.
Such a show is bound to attain
great success.—Lawton Okla., En
terprise.
Was clean and good throughout.
—Bowie Texas Press.
t The largest and best show here
wyears.—Dawson. Ga., News.
Congress in sesion we shall have
some news now, from the front.
Up in Kentucky on election day,
as usual, there was a resort to guns
and pistols to settle the differences.
Ex-Gov. Bullock, of carpet-bag
days has returned to Atlanta. OL
course Atlanta is proud to have him.
Brother Butler, of W aycross,
preached at the Baptist church
last Sunday, morning and night.
Mr. Roosevelt says he is pleased
with the way Ohio did last I uesday.
Yes, and we are the same way about
Maryland, Kentucky and others.
Milliard Lee, the murderer of
Miss Suttles, last spring, near At
lanta, was hanged last Friday week.
His lawyers fought bravely tor his
life, but the case was against them.
Some test cases of the vagrancy
law have been made and the
supreme court has decided that it
is constitutional. Some of those
who doubted this point will proba
bly be surprised.
The dispatches tell us that the
democrats carried New York in tire
election las. Tuesday in spite of
the preachers and sore heads. With
out: any particular insinuations this
is a hard knock at Dowie and his
clergymen co-workers.
The Sparks Enterprise celebrated
its first year of usefulness last Satur
day by sending out a twelve page
edition, containing illustrations and
write ups of all the residences and
business enterprises of that hand
some little city. The Enterprise
is one of the very best weekly news
papers in Southern Georgia.
Mr. Odum, of Waycross, was
here last Saturday endeavoring to
get up a good crowd 10 go down lo
see Mrs. LeMoyne in Lady Besen
thias Secret at the Opera house.
We hope he succeeded, but if our
friends down there want crowds
from Douglas and Nichols they can
get them if they advertise in the
Breeze. Otherwise we - are not
responsible.
The editor of the Breeze has re
ceived a leter from Mrs. A. ).
Means, of Augusta, Ga., in which
the Breeze was called “the best
country paper s'ie ever read. \Con
tavifng also a compliment oin the
Breeze’s tribute to the memoVy of
Dr. Montgomery. The lady Vis, a
stranger to us, not even a subset'di
er and must have seen one of the
several dozen papers mailed to
friends by our people, nevertheless
we are grateful for her kind words,
even if they are only a repetition
of expressions we are accustomed
to hear.
Wait For It
llowe's Great London Shows.
A grand new departure of Howe’s
Great London Shows that will ex
hibit at Douglas Saturday Nov. 3i,
is the new trained animal exhibit.
Animals trained to present the most
astonishing displays from time to
time during the progress of the ex
tensive program. The two rings
are occupied by animal actors of
surpassing interest. Among them
are the performing elephants, doing
marvelous and sensational acts.
These veritable mountains of flesh
present a most wonderful and
unique display, manifesting re
markable precaution and under
standing in these accomplishments
and exhibition of animal intelli
gence that gives great credit to their
trainers and is a source of wonder
to all beholders. Will exhibit at
Douglas Nov. gist.
