The advertisement of the Bruns

brought them b nice order all the way
from sunny Florida. Moral—Adver

Irish potatoes (big ones, of this

See card of our merchant tailor F.

and quality.
The theatre-going part of our com
munity, and they are not a few, are
waiting patiently for tho L’ariosos to
get another play on oar boards as
good as Hazel Kirke, which they think
was par excellence.
Somo careless colored lad this week
threw a rock ut another lad, which
missed its mark, but didn’t miss the
large show window of the cigar store.
That lad should bo made to pay for
that broken window.
Easter was duly celebrated by oar
Episcopal friends. The Sabbath
School enjoyed the occasion very
much. Their wreaths, banneis, mot
toes, crosses, etc., wore admirod by
all who saw them.
The woanded sailor, meutiou of
whom was made in last issue os fall

Judge Mershon returned yesterday
from Americas, whore he has been
presiding for Judge Crisp. He re
ports everything lovely in that sec
tion, and the crop prospects excellent.
Judge Crisp presided this week in
Coffee for Judge Mershon.
Mallory’s line of steamships contin
ue to make good time from New
York (three days). They get here ev
ery Monday night ns regular as clock
work. This is as it should be. Punct
uality in transportation is essuutial,
and always receives its legitimate re
ward.
A party of twelve ladies and gen
tlemen, from Macmi, Ims been spend

Members of two of the largest ua-
vel Btore firms in the United States,
located in New York, have been in
onr city within the last two weeks,
prospecting. We would not be sur
prised if one or both of there bonnes
should establish branches here. Such
a move would be no detriment to our
town. The more buyers the more
shipping, and consequently, the more/
money handled here.
Captain Allen, of the bark Norwell,
bad on board bis craft last week what
Mac Haywood called a “happy fami
ly.” Finding a nest of young rats oo
boardship, lie hi ought them out and
threw them, nest and all, on to the
deck, expecting to see Mrs. Pussey
feast. Instead, however, her cut-
sbip took thorn up one by one and
laid them in her own bed aloug with
her only kitten, and then quietly coil
ed herself around them. The little
ratships ran about over her perfectly
at borne.
The Telephone Exchange.
Our telephone exchange is au as
sured fact, tho requisite number of
subscribers (26) having been obtain'
nd. The contract for the poles has
been given out and work Hlreudy be
gun. The old Advertiser office at the
corner of Newcastle and Monk streets
has been selected for the central of
fice or exebauge, and all wires will be
attached there. As soon us the sys
tem in all arranged, we have no doobt
that many other subscribers will be
added to the list. “The more the
merrier,” for thereby a greater num
ber of parties will bo brought into
communication the one with the oth
er, and the usefulness of the exchange
enhanced thereby. We hope the rail
roads, and St Simons and Gascoigne
Mills will be added at an early day.
For the benefit of those not yet mem
bers of the exchange, who may wish
to know the cost of membership, we
will say that for ordinary distances,
the cost is $16.00 por quarter.
J. MiohelHon &. Bn).
This firm moved the past week
into their handsome new store on
Gloucester street, where they will
keep a splendid assortment of dry
goods, clothing, notion’s, etc. Tho
oastern one-half of the building has
been fitted up for a' first-class family
grocery store for’the town trade.—
Their old stand (siuco the fire) iu the
Collins building on Bay struet, will
be still kept by them for heavy gro
ceries, ship chandlers' stores, etc. The
iry goods department is fitted up iu
liuo style, and customers will be wait
ed on by three lady clerks, who are
familiar with the wants of their lady
friends. The firm ask nt the hands
of the public, that they come auil see
tor themselves if they do nut under
sell ucy other house in the conuty.—
We bespeak for them a liberal share
of public patronage.
SpeciultiuM.
We aro always pleased to note any
thing looking to improvement. To
compete with other markets, we must
sell close. To do this, we must buy
close, and to this end should deal in
specialties as near os wo can. This
idea iB fast gaining ground here.—
Something over a year ago, our young
friend It. F. Gpodbread conceived the
idea of a cigar store—a thing never
beard of here before. We are pleased
to say he has been encouraged iu his
effort, and to-day keeps the greatest
assortmeut of tobaccos and cigars in
M FAN P f
We here been 5 quietly watching the
movements of the M. & B. Railroad
folks to determine what wns really
their intent os to our place. Do they
mean to make this their real termi
nus, or simply to use us as a way sta
tion, so to speak ? In short, whether
they would seek to build up onr har
bor aud place or ouly give us such fa
cilities as could not well be avoided ?
What we see before us, as a matter of
coarse, is all we have as our guide to
usxist ns iu onr conclusions, for rail
road magnates don’t tell their plans.
With the light before us, theu,and by
way of answering our own questions
as to what they mean, we would say
they mutt mean business. The work
now going od iu our harbor, in a
quiet way, is too huge iu its propor
tions to mean simply nothing. A half
mile of embankment built out iu the
marsh to Turtle river and broadened
ns it approacbes said river to 500
feet and finished off with nn expen
sive wharf, dredging in front, of that
wharf its entire length to secure uni
form depth, building ware houses, of
fices, tracks, etc. on the same, new
side-traoks, warp house, etc. in town,
to say nothing of the new coaches be
ing put on the line, new steel rails on
the road bed in place of the old iron
ones, in short, a general upward and
onward tendency in everything surely
portends something more than mere
child’s play. Railroads don’t invest
money by the thousnuds in boggy
marshes and improvements of same
simply for the pleasure of planting
thoir money.
We expect in another twelve
months’ time to see big changes.in the
business of our place. When the ex
tension is completed to Rome, and nil
connections made, these tracks and
whnrves will be needed, and more,
too, for with increased facilities, such
as we will then have, we may reason
ably expect more business men; if
more business men, then more bnsi
ness; if more business, more ships and
other craft, eta—each item helping
to swell the grand result, to-wit: The
up-building of Brunswick and her
port The tide has certainly set in
Its swelling flood brings prosperity
upon its crest to nil who will take
advantage of the same. Nor should
wo under-estimate the advantages to
accrue from the faot that all of our
western merchandise will not have to
come through the “neck of the bot
tle,” wltii'h, to v* Jimnmoickiav*, now
extends all the way from Ghataiioogn
to Macon. This, under the now re
gime, will all he under one control,
and we may rensonnbly expect dis
patch—auil dispatch means more bus
iness.
Wf don’t believe we have overdrawn
the picture. We hope iu twelve
months more to see all we have bo far
predicted, and possibly more.

Mr. Editor: After the lapse of six
thousand years, the Devil again
tempts woman, not as lie did in the
Garden of Eden—to partake of for
bidden fruit, bat presumes to dictate
her fashion. Now, we Imve three la
dies doing business here in all the
latest and most approved fashions,
who have, no doubt, spent many anx
ious moments working out the prob-
Ioiii of—bow well and whot best wonld
suit the taste of woman. Among some
of the most tasteful and becoming is
the beautiful aud comfortable hats
(nit buggy umbrellas) worn this
spring.
Now, during the recent excellent
performance of Hazel Kirke, some la-
fly wore a hat (she had a right to
wear a hat), and his Satanic majesty
became offended and fires a whole
broad-side, in the last issue of the Ad
vertiser and Appeal, into ladies gen
erally, and hats in particular, and par
ticularly some particular hat worn by
a particularly handsome young lady,
who, nnfortnnately, occupied n par
ticular seat in front of this same par
ticular "Devil;” and, to say the h ast,
he is getting to be devilish particular.
Now there are always two sides to
a question. The Indies complain that
their enjoyment of Hazel Kirke was
particularly marred by the classic and
well-known “big head” of this same
“Devil,” who sat just in front of them
and who, to attract ns much ntteution
as possible, kept that particular “big
bead” bobbing unceremoniously from
side to side.
Now, in conclusion, Mr. Editor, I
hope this same Devil will be a man,
and that be may marry (if any lady
can be found so foolish) and that his
wife may rule this Devil’s ranebe; and
that she may want, and force him to
buv, a new hat every week, until be
has hat enough of criticizing what la
dies wear to shows, circases, theatres
aud at homo.
Yours sincerely, Lady's Hat.
St. Simona Items.
Our Sk Simons items arrived this
week too late for us to do more than
insert the following;
Mr. W. J. Hays has just received
an account of sales of cabbages sent
to Atlanta, showing a general average
of 14J cents per head. What crop
pays better.
The enterprising and never tiring
John Currie is stocking the Island
with marsh tackies.
Mr. J. C. Chapman, an English
gentleman, who Ims recently ptirchas
ed large landed estates on the north
ern portion of the Island, has suc
ceeded in raibiug turnips this spring
some of which weigh from ten to fif
teen pounds each.
Tho large driving wheel that pro
pels the extensive machinery of St-
Simons Mills burst into numberless
atoms last Wednesday about 11 a. sl
But as the management embraces a
sot of men always ready for auy emer

wheel in place, and the many saws
connected with this mammoth estab
lishment bnzziDg away at the same
old tune, as if nothing had hoppened.
Card of Thanks.
Permit me to state throngh your
columns that at the last meeting of
the Excolsior Literary Society a vote
of unanimous thanks was tendered
the Gordonian Club for the kind and

children during the Fair. All sorts
of amusements may be counted on
which will make you laugh regardless
of maturing notes or dull times, a
barrel of molasses has Ix-et, secured
already, but just how it will be uutil-
