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.
