Advertiser and 0. STACY. Editor and Proprietor. AS OTHERS SEE US. Our City and Surroundings—Busi ness and Harbor—St. Simons Mills and Churob, Eto, Alex Stephens has been for years in public life. The Georgia independents have held a canons, and will call a conven tion about June 1st. C. R. R. stock has taken a boom npwards the past week. Instead of $109 it is now quoted at $116. Petitions from all parts of the coun try continue to flow into President Arthur for the pardon of Sergeant Mason. Whoopee 1 what an infliction! It is said that the whole Grant family— babies and all—will be in Washing ton next week. Fifty-nine pieces of property were sold recontly at Green Goto Springs, Fla., for taxes. This is an ugly out look. for that little hamlot. Mnino needs missionaries. Mra Hattie Sprague, whilst walking home from church last Sunday night, in Cherryfield, had her throat cut by a rejected suitor. Tho Prosbytorian Theological Sem inary at Columbia, S. C., will reopen in September, nfter a suspension of two years. An endowment of $150,- 000 has been secured. A now paper 1ms been started in Atlanta called the Morning Mail. It has shown its good judgment by clip ping from tho Brunswick Advebtisku and Ai-peal. All first-class papers do this. Tho cotton and worsted mills of Luwroncc, Mass., have shut down on account of a strike on the part of the laborers. Five thousand three hnn- drod peoplo linvo thus been thrown out of employment. Tho Atlanta rust-Ajgteal hoists at its head the name of Alex. H. Ste phens, of Liberty Hall, for Governor, with tho following seutimeut under neath: “Tho purest patriot, tho wis est statesman, uud tho best friend of humanity.” Gen. Gnrtrell says with tho help of God he will ho elected Governor of Georgia. Wo aro persuaded to be lieve that tho old gentlemuu hit I tie truth square iu tho faco that time, for nothing short of a goodly quantiiy of assistance outside of tho voters of Georgia will place him iu the chair of Btato. “This is tho plnce ho loug has sought, and mourned because bo found it not." having occa- “City by the sea,” for cheerfully complies with 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 sen. Through tho courtesy of Rev. W. F. Lloyd, the pastor of the M. E. Church, South, I had a pleasant drive over the city and to places of interest, saw many now and beautiful residences exhibiting exquistite tasto and i ch Telegraph ami Messenger: Tbe col ored brother don’t propose to givo way before the superior civilization of John Chinaman. He draws his full rations of small-pox everywhere, one has gnawod off tbe oar of a Nashville policeman, and another proposes to engage tho attention of the Uuited States Court in Georgia for coiuing the money of tbe realm in the shape of the nimble nickel. On Sunday last, John Wans, of Fer- nandinn, made his will and then sent for Hon. Charles Angel, of Fernandi- na. As soon as Angel arrived, be 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 own arm with a razor, from which he 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 soon ngilin take Lis seat. stinted outlay of money. I wr interested in a vonorablo live —a real patriarch among tre lor which tradition says that (>,i. .... rpe onco held a council with tho Indians; and so auciont was its aspect that wo could easily boliovo that Noah might have dono tho sarno thing, with his throo sons, under its ample shade. It is called tho “Lover’s Oak,” and doubtless, if it had had a tongue could hnvo related many a wonderful talo of lovo and war, of joy and grief. 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 GEORGIA DOTS. 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.” SOUTHERN MEN IN THE ARMY. Washington, D. C., March 22—Tho two cadots who stand at tho hoad of tho next graduating class ut West Point aro from Mississippi and Mis souri. Thoir names aro Crosby and Burr. The fourth ouo in standing is also a Missourian named Spencer.— The Southern boys aro coming to the front agaiu. Lieut.

I The artesian well in Albany is now over five hundred feet deep. We trust this attempt may prove successful John H. Smith of Tatnall county, died last week. It is claimed thrii he was the oldest Mason in the United States. Darien has the champion justice.— On Saturday last he tried twenty-sev en cases between the hours of twelve and fonr o’clock. The President has nominated Jos. Shepard to be Collector of Customs at St. Marys, Ga., and J. E. Epping to be postmaster at Darien. Beds of mica have been found in lime rooks of Dougherty county, whereupon the News vnd Advertiser asks some geologist to explain. The authorities of Waycross have made a raid upon the gamblers who have found a home there. Fonr have been arrested, and will be tried. Mrs. Mary Peacock, of Liberty county, died last week. She was the mother of nine children, and bad 52 grandchildren, 157 great-grandahil- dren, and, so far, 40 great-great grandchildren. Mr. Joseph Mock, of Waycross, was accidentally drowned a few days since in the Lott mill pond, whilst examin ing a gill-net he bad stretched there for catcbiDg fish. Mr. Mock was sev enty-four years of age. The distress in the Mississippi Val ley continues. The floods seem abat ing. The people are at starvation’s door, many of them. The general government has sent forward tents and rations. Mr. Wily Chambliss, of Berrien county, sold out place, stock, etc., in that county, recently, and left for Texas or Arkansas. He writes back that all things considorod, be believes old Berrien a better place after all,- and will come back. Tho now Presbyterian parsonago of Darien has received its first coat of paint. Tho building is immediately in rear of tho church, built in tho skapo of a Greek cross, and is two stories, high. Query—who is to bo mistress of thut mansion? 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.
