A DAY IN BRUNSWICK.
What a Reporter Saw Durlns the Lasl
Day of our Fair.
B. H., in Telegraph end Messeuger.
“Ocean trout!”
The above were the first words to
strine iny eye when I glanced over the
breakfast bill of fare at the Nelson
House, Brunswick, Friday morning.
Ocean trout! Golly ! thought I as
I pushed my ample legs beneath the
table and flung myself back in the
chair in the attitude of a man at
peace with all the world, how jolly it
is to live down here with the salt air
running after yon, when you have on
ly to impale a boiled shrimp on a
book, cast it into the water, and up
comes a fine fat fellow of a fish, be
fore the shrimp gets thoroughly wet!
How I envied these healthy, brainy
Brunswickers, with fish all the year
rouud, and oysters when the months
carry the R in them. Yes, delicious
perch, royal pompadours, glorious
snappers and delicioos trout! And
then the turtles! Think of turtle
Soup several times a year 1 And
crabs! Well, there's no telling bow
my appetite ran riot over these re
flections, while a seven-foot pole of
ebony humanity was manufacturing
my brenkfast.
Finally breakfast came, and I be
gan to look for my ocean troni Fail
ing to spy it at first glance, I looked
a second and then the third time. I
was about to get out a search warrant
for it when my dexter eye lit upon
something about the size of my little
finger—the one I wear the diamond
on—aud lo and behold, there was the
ocean tront—a little bit of a chap,
scarcely as large as a respectable sar
dine, that had been caught and can
ned off the coast of Newfoundland
years ago.
A boy can go out two hundred
yards from the hotel steps aud iu
half an hour catch enough elegant
fish for a hotel dinner, and yet they
gave ns cauued fish caught near New
foundland. Gracious, how severely
alone I left that ocean trout.
lint Brunswick is a fine town for all
that. And her people seem to be so
deep iu love with tbeir town that
there is not an iuch of ground in
Glynn county they do not love with
nil the intensity of a maiden’s first af
fection. And, to tell you the truth, I
don’t blame them much. If there is
anything prettier than the moss-laden
trees kissing and hugging each other
over the streets, forming very bowers,
under the cool shade of which they
cau plod through the sand—I say, if
there is anything prettier I'd like to
aee it And then if yon don’t like the
pretty trees, with their thick, dark fo
liage, go down to the dock and sweep
the wide level of water, with its sur
face now and then broken by some
graoeful sloop or schooner anchored
to stillness. Then, if you are of a
bnsiuess tarn, there’s millions of lum
ber and turpentine and rosiu and
shingle*. Bat if you want fish you
amt go aud catch ’em.
Brunswick bus much besides her
sl<Hip8 and schooners and turpentine.
ti\in has enterprise; The building
wave struck ber some time ago, and
it you look close you will find num
bers of new buildings. And yet,
Btrunge to say, old as she is, and as
important, there isn’t a solitary brick
building iu the town! Lumber, I
suppose, is so dirt cheap that brick
are too high-
And let me tell yon another good
thing about these hardy Brunswick-
ers. They keep|up their fair associa
tion, and every year they bold a fair.
They have a man named D. T. Dunn,
and he wears a coat only when he
leaves Brunswick. He is a com pres
sed bundle of energy and enterprise,
and loves Brunswick with a'whole
sonl. He rises early and works late,
and whenever you tackle him he is in
the best of hnmor, and ready to tell
yon of the good qualities of his town
Glynp county is the only county that
keeps np this holding of fairs, and
they give no slouch of a fair, let me
tell you. They have a natural fair
ground, with the exception of a race
track, which is two feet deep in sand.
Yet I saw a qaarter-mile dash on it,
and the nags didn’t seem to care a
continental whether chey were flying
over sand or a shell road,
I went ont to the fair in the morn
ing and took a squint at some of the
displays. In the agricultural depart
ment there were a dozen cabbages
with rouud hard heads that weighed
up in .he forties. One grand fellow
weighed forty-seven pounds. There
were watermelons, cantelopes, pota
toes, and gracious knows what all,
and if I were to tell you bow fine they
were you wouldn’t believe it
They had any number of attrac
tlons in addition to the maipmoth
garden truck. I hadn’t been ^inside
the gate five minutes before I ran up
against my red rubber balloon man
I think that man has a spite against
me. No matter where I go that man
pops up. If it’s an old grudge, I’m
willing to square it any way in the
world outside of being tortured by
his over-recurring presence. The
pop-corn fiend was there, and of
course it wouldn’t have been a fair if
theirod lemonade man had not been
on hand.
In the afternoon the firemanic pa
rade took place. Hawkinsville and
Cochran failed to come, and hence,
Mechanics, of Macon, and Oceanic, of
Brunswick, made up the procession.
On the parade Mr. Dnnn marched at
the hoad in his shirt sleeves, jnst as
happy as if he had a dozen coats.
About five o’clock in the afternoon
the engines palled up on the main
street, and the contest took place.
Mechanics was tbe first to take posi
tion. She pulled up alongside a cis
tern, and Mr. Charlie Forrester, as
sisted by Torn Fox, got everything in
readiness. The first test was to get
up steam aud throw one huudred feet
of water through one hundred feet of
hose. Oscar Thompson, of Macon,
nnd Dr. Fellows, of Brunswick, were
appointed time-keepers. Mechanics
won this test, the time being 4:68 sec
onds from the time smoke first ap
peared in the stack to the time tbe
water was thrown the one hundred
feet The second test was torun fifty
yards, attach one hundred feet of hose
and play fifty feet of water Mechanics’
run was splendid, but the boys made
a fearful bobble in attaching the hose
to the engine, and lost fully fifteen
seconds. The time made was 42J.
Oceanic’s engine is a beautiful ma
chine, of the LaFrance make, and
ought to bo a good engine. The com
pany made tbe first test is 6:48, and
the second in 32J.
Isn't old Mncon picking np? The
other day Ocinulgee went over to
Columbus anil cleaned 'em up, and
here Mechanics scooped up the first
prize in Brnnswick!
I came near forgetting to tell yon
how we got to Brunswick. I think
the Macon and Brunswick has about
us clever a corps of officials as any
road on earth, but it has, or did have
tbe most villainous schedule that whs
ever perpetrated on a traveling pub
lic. The train to Jesnp runs like a
greased streak of lightning, and goes
on into Florida in the same way, but
at Jesnp we bad to wait two hours on
the wrong side of the night before we
started for Brunswick. This, I am
glad to 8tiy, is changed, aud con Dec
tious are closer.
When the train rolled np to Coch
ran, the firemen of that jam up little
town met us at the depot with the-
band and gave us music and a spread
which came in just right. The boys
appreciated the treat fully,
The Oceanics, of Brunswick, made
all the Macon boys welcome, and
cared for them in a way that was
happy aud substantial.
Friday evening I boarded the train
for Macon. Don’t know why it is, bnt
I feel happiest when I get on a train
bonifd for old Macon. In anticipa
tion of a midnight lay-over at Jesup
and having left Brunswick at too
oarly an hoar for sapper, our party
wos provided with a railroad lunch in
the shapo of a box of deviled tongue
and an assortment of bread. Eating
on the train beats a pionic dinner on
the grass all to smash. It’s fan to
make a table of half your seat aud eat
sideways. Bat when a fellow is hun
gry, with an appetite whetted by
standing oronnd looking at tbe sights,
he can eat sideways or any other
way.
At Jesnp we encountered Capt. A.
0. Bacon, who had just got in from
Savannah. We assigned him to the
upper berth in our section of the
sleeper. Now the upper berth of a
sleeping car is a good deal nearer tor
ment than the lower one. In the lat
ter we had only to close the curtains
and we had all tbe darkness of night;
bat the man in the upper berth has
no such enjoyment. He is on a di
rect line with the lamp, and all night
long that lamp looks at him through
the curtain like the fiery, blood sbot-
ten eye of an enraged ball. When be
first lays himself down to slumbers
the light looks like unto the tamed
down lamp left horning by yonr wife
for your midnight return home. After
yon have turned over about forty
times and wished from tbe bottom of
yonr socks that the lamp was horning
in a lower locality, the light gradually
grows into the brilliancy of an elec
tric light. Of course you sleep. Any
body cau sleep with a light shining in
bis face; but that man isn’t livin r who
can do it and be a Christian, or even
a first-class dtizen. Therefore, when
the Captain descended from bis perch
he wasn't feeling like a violet dipped
in dew.
However, these sleepers come very
near giving a fellow a bed-room nap,
and the upper berth is its only daw-
back.
Professor Leo, a dancing master of
Ithica, N. Y., waltzed ten miles in
two hours and forty-five minutes.—
There were two orchestras, and sever
al hundred spectators present. When
ever one orchestra lost its breath the
other took np tbe strain, and as one
partner became exhausted another
come forward. Thus sixty-seven
changes were made, and a dozen or
more panting and tried youug ladies
and gcutlcmeii sat about the ball, but
stil]. the •untiring Leo kept walziugon
gracefully ami easily. His face was
somewhat flushed, and he perspired
freely for the first hour. After that
lie weut on with apparent ease, sing
ing much of the time in unison with
tbe mnsie.
Tbe bustle is about to assume pro
portions again, bat, |man olive, you
mnstn’t call it a bustle. Tbe new-fan
gled idea is a “tonrnure.” P. S.—It

Mr. Paul, a few days ago, rend in
some sinful newspaper that a donkey
couldn’t bray without raising his tail,
and accordingly a bright idea struck
him. He penned his famous jackass
up in a cornnr of the stable, and
climbing up in tbe trough above tbe
dead-line of the animal’s heels, he at
tached a brick with three feet of
clothes line to his (the jack’s) tale.—
Then he open the door, smiled audi
bly and waited developments. Tbe
animal walked into the lot, and bucked
his ears for a yell, but it whs no go.
His tail only raised the brick bigli
enough to bit him ou the shanks.—
TIjod be whirled around and the don-
nick struck him in bis side. Then be
flung up bis heels and tried to stand
on bis head, bat that fragment of a
country chimney lit on the small of
bis back and drove him to frenzy. He
climbed over the gate and dashed
through the field in tbe direction of
Augusta, closely followed by Mr. P.’s
experiment. When fonml he was in-
Joel Neal’s lot with the brick lodged
in a crook of the fence, and his back
bone pulled ont till bis ears had dis
appeared under hi* skin. Mr. Paul
says that kind of treatment may pre
vent tbe coarsest of the noise from es
caping, but it will demoralize the best
jackass on earth.

Two ladies living iu the western
part of the city had a strange experi
ence one day last week. They bad
hired a horse and buggy and gone
ont to make some afternoon calls, bnt
at the first place they called they
stayed so late that it was nearly dark
when they came out They found
tbe horse standing patiently, and
catting short their adieus they climb
ed into tbo buggy, and while one
tucked away half an acre of lap-robe
the other took up the lines and whip
and said “get up” to»llie horse. But
the horse didn’t “get up" worth a
conk He just moved a little ou three
legs nnd whisked his tail.
“Shoo! get up—g’laug !’’ said the
woman with the lines, and she em
phasized the remark with a cut of tbe
whip. The horse made a sudden
step forward, aud Loth ladies nearly
fell over the dashboard.
“Who-a-o-a-a!” screamed tbe one
that wasn’t driving. Good gracious,
he’s going to run away! Let me
drive—I’ll make him behave.”
“Hold on,”, said the other; “I
haven’t driven horses ever since I was
six yeturs old for nothing, and I’m go
ing to whip the horse aud make him
go—so there now I”
The whip descended ou the horse,
and be at onoe stood up on hie hind
legs and pawed the air, bnt didn’t
mako a step forward or budge an
inch oat of the straight and narrow
path in which he' stood. The ladieB
were in despair, and looked. helpless
ly at the bouse they had just left, and
wished their, friend would come out
to th?ir Assistance.. At that moment
help did come, in tbo shape of a gen
tleman who was passing, ami noticed
their dilemma.
“Can*I l»e of any assistance to you,
ladies?” he naked politely; “would
you like to Imve yonr horse untied?”
They never said a word about it,
but man-like he told, amt that is how
we got hold of this true story.
