your request to furnish bis impres
sions of the city and the points of in
terest in and around it My stay was
too short to do this as fully as I would
desire. The first impreesion on the
mind of a visitor is that the city is
progressing rapidly. The crowds
abont the wharf and in the business
streets, the coming and going of load
ed trains and the number of vessels
of all descriptions, either delivering
or receiving their cargoes, with the
signs of bnstle and activity, visible on
every hand, indicate a place of com
mercial thrift.
Tho city is located on a peninsula
around which the trains of the Macon
and Brunswick road approach the city
—giving a very pretty view of the
beautiful harbor—unsurpassed by any
on the South-Atlantic const. At the
time of my visit many Inrge vessels
were riding at anchor waiting for a
favorable wind to take them ont to

Through tho courtesy of Rev. W. F.

On Sunday last, John Wans, of Fer-
nandinn, made his will and then sent
for Hon. Charles Angel, of Fernandi-

shot him dead in the piazza with a
gun he had borrowed for the purpose,
and then retired to an ont-liouse,
where ho severed the arteries iu his

died the day following. Both men
were Germans, and bad lived ou good
terms for years, though it is affirmed
that there was an old grudge abont
some business transaction.
COL,. m.ACli BETTER.
Since our last issue, (be life of this
distinguished gentleman bas hung on
a thread. At one time he was consid
ered dying, but at last accounts his
symptons were for the better, and he
seems to lie regaining the use of his
limbs. Tliis improvement may be on
ly temporary, but we trust it may
prove permanent, and that he may

and so auciont was its aspect that wo
could easily boliovo that Noah might

is called tho “Lover’s Oak,” and
doubtless, if it had had a tongue could

Tho calls of business or pleasuro
may tako some of our citizens to
Brunswick. If so, let me ndvise thorn
bv nil means to visit tSt. Simons Is
land on a gem of a steam craft—the
“Ruby,” with the kind and courteous
Captain Barney Dart. Tho trip around
the peninsula, along tho wharves, piled
with all kinds of lumber and produce,
and at tho sido of which are moored
all kinds of craft—through tho lovely
bay, and to tho watery gate of the
graud old ocean, and in full view of
tho residences and church on tho
beautiful island, will make ono of tho
most pleasant pictures on tho tablot
of momory.
During my short stay on the Is
land, I wont into tho immonso steam
saw mill owned by Hon. Mr. Dodge,
who is also proprietor of tho largest
part of theilsland—which is sixtoon
miles in length and ono or two in
width. This mill is ruu by an im
mense ongine, which drives gaug saws
by which logs from oighteen inches to
apparently two foot aro sawed up at
once, and then by railways, carried
down to the sides of the vessels at tho
wharf. No description could give an
adequate idea of the rapidity with
which thoso logs are converted into
lumber, nor the ease and swiftness
with which they ore conveyed from
the saws into tho vessels. On the Is
land are some imposing dwellings and
many cozy cottages, nestling amid the
deep green shrubbery. One who has
spent mach • >f life amidst the din and
turmoil of ti e cities, and wearied with
the inoessio r. cores of public life,
would surei' no pardoned for yearn
ing for a’ h i0 in such a beautiful
place, whet • i oily he might hold com
munion wi:l. nature in her loveliest
moods, and nightly be lulled to rest
by the solemn chant of the ocean
waves. On tho Island and in sight
of tho wharf is a beautiful gothic
church, with stained gloss windows,
and finished in the interior iu fine
taste. It was built at the expeuso of
Mr. Dodge, and, by him, given to the
people of St Simons. Tho village on
tho Island contains botween two aud
three hundred inhabitants, nearly all
of whom are iu some way connected
with Mr. D.’s mill interest. The
church is occupied alternately by all
the denominations, but has no organ
ized membership, the various pastors
of Brunswick officiating as they have
opportunity.
In regard to the business condition
and prospects of Brunswick, I am in
debted for my information to the
present efficient and popular Mayor,
Hon. M. J. Colson, (to whom I am
indebted for many personal kindness
es) and to the courteous editor of the
Brunswick Advertiser and Appeal,
Mr. T. G. Stacy.
The chief articles of export from
Brunswick are lumber, rosin, turpen
tine and cotton. I noticed that many
of the vessels in port were from Maine,
and the majority of them were coast
wise. The lumber on tho wharves
was of very superior quality—quite
free from knots, snarls and sap—just
such lumber os a house-builder would
delight to put under his tools. The
quantity of it is a surprise to the
stranger, the entire city being almost
girdled with it. Perhaps there was a
"boom” in the lumber trade when I
was there, but I had no idea that it
was so largely an article of export—
The following statistics will give some
idea of tho business development of
tho city: Tho number of vessels that
ontered the hurbor in 1876 was 177;
in 1881, 274. The value of exports in
1880 was $1,655,000, and in 1881 it
was $2,500,000. Tho population of
the city in 1880 was 2908 and in 1881
it was 0,800, thus showing an increaso
in round numbers of about 900 in ono

year.
If tho U. S. Government would on
ly extend her aid as liberally to
Brunswick as she is doing to other
Atlantic citios, she would soon ranu
nruong tho first ports ou tho coast.—
Her natural advantages aro great..
Sho has a roadstead almost unsur
passed on tho continent, and railroad
connections that give communication
with every section of tho country.—
Tho timber on a largo section of con
tiguous territory is almost inexhaust
ible. It would sound fnneiful to pre
dict hor future prosperity provided
her peoplo aro watchful of their inter
ests, aud cun only obtain from the
Government an "open sea and a fair
fight.” ,
Strungo as it may seem, it was very
dry in Brunswick and its environs,
and had been so for sorno time pre
vious to my visit, while in our section
tho redundant rainfalls have been re
tarding farming operations and gar
dening. But wo can take consolation
from Popo’s aphorism that “whatever
is is right.”

Mrs. Mary Peacock, of Liberty

grandchildren, 157 great-grandahil-

The distress in the Mississippi Val

Tho Worth County Star says Mr.
Alex Hobby, of that county, owns a
calf which bids fair to laud among
Barnmn’s living wonders. It bas two
splits in each fore foot, which gives it
threo hoofs on each foot. Tho hind
legs are not more than half as long ns
tho fore legs, hnvo no joints in the
middle, and the feet resemble those of
n bear. It was calve 1 on the 5th
inst., and its horns now are half an
inch loug.
Twenty-five farmers of Thomas
county have entered into a contract
to take each ono acre of ground and
see how much corn cau be raised on
it by any scheme, process or plan.—
Tho farmer whose corn when harvest
ed gives tho greatest yield is to have
ono bushel of corn from eaoh of his
unfortunate competitors. We vent
ure the assertion that there will be as
much corn raised on this twenty-five
acres os will be on any other fifty,
yes, seventy-five acres in tho county.
Macon is organizing a company,
with R. K. Hines at its head, to ran
a line of herdics through certain
streets of tho city as street cars. It
is claimed that they are preferable to
street cars because they are not oon-
finod to a track, and the line can be
changed as necessity requires, and
in wet weather they can be driven
right np to the curb-stone. These
vehicles are built something like an
omnibus, can seat six or eight per
sons, and have steps on the side.—
They have large wheels, bat the body
of the vehicle comes near tbe ground.
