J. M. Denton Chairman democratic Ex. Com. Unfortunate Brunswick. On last Thursday about eleven o’clock the B &W. depot in Bruns wick caught fire from the spark of a j ! pile driver engine and the high wind ; that was blowing that day swept the flames over a large part of the busi ness portion of the city, destroying about a half million dollars worth of property. The large depots of the Plant Sys tem, Downing & Cos. aDd J. J. Lott the Ocean Hotel, Briesenick’a foundry Hoyt Hardware Cos. and many other important houses were destroyed. Most of those who sustained losses were very well insured and some whol ly so. This is probably the most costly fire Brunswick has ever had, and coming as it does just when she was graceful ly emerging from the ruins of the ep idemic, it would seem that Prov idence ha I placed a special ban on her progress. We predict, however that this is a blessing in disguise to the dear old city and we look for her to rise out of the ashes with in are splendor than she has known hitherto. Indeed, fires are nearly always beneficial to a city and Brunswick will be no exception ; for she lias already begun to lay the foundations for new and finer buildings Brunswick has never suffered much from fires, she lias lost much from her epidemics, but more than all has she groaned under th burden of her politics. It may not he any of our business, hut having formerly some material interest in her affairs and be ing now a spectator of he • progress, vc are constrained to remark casually that Brunswick has sutiered more from her politics than with all her other ailments combined. Wo have seen “beel-ridden” people, hut Brun swick is truly a political—ridden city. It is graciously refreshing to note that some of her young m.n are be coming gabled with Hie yoke of tlira.ll dom, under which they have grown to manhood and it is ! safe to predict that Hannibal will me et his Cato one of these days. Brunswick is the prettiest city in the world, and Hanover square at present is an Aiilen of blissful delight. The burnt district is a vast u nder lies i of waste. The Levy brothers are sprightly fel lows and they are making the Call a ‘•hummer.’’ “Ham” Harvey has a heart as big : as Some M mntain, only a heap softer : he took our “flop" hit away and gave us anew one. Henceforth his name is Abou Ben Adam. • Overman Snoir bon nil. , lam now snow hound 20 miles from my destination. At noon the day was fair and warm, perfectly Spring-like, wind to the south and the sun almost as warm as a May day in Georgia. In HO minutes the whole scene had ehan 0 - eel and the north-wind was driving (lie snow in blinding sheets at storm velocity. It is an old time blizzard and is growing fiercer at this hour-9 P. M. They say that, thousands of cattle and horses on the prairie will freeze to night, and 1 am sure that travelers caught out in this storm will be lucky to survive, A man cmnot be seen ten steps and it is utterly impossible .0 hold ones face to it. What a eon trast with South Georgia where the grass and fruit trees and flowers are j putting forth, warmed and nourished |by balmy breezes and vernal shower-, | There is not the slightest sign of spring j here, just as dead and lifeless ns ; December. Hundreds of poor families, jmi tiles;' open prairies are shivering with cole! for like of fuel. How much I | we Southerners ought to appreciate i our genial climate and happy sttr * roundings.
