OUR WATER. 'Than ii nothin? mote conducive of good health than pare water. This fact has been proven in the limestone gectionsof Southwest Ga. On one plantation (Col Fort’s) the death nte among the laborers has been very great,. . An. artesian well has been bored, the first we. believe in the State the w*ter fromwhiehhas rteolution- ized tire health of the place, making it as renowned for its health as it had teen for itB sickness. Carrying out this idea other places have sought and are seeking a similar remedy. In the absence of this lnxnry it is re commended that we sink our driven .^rells sufficiently deep to get rid of the surface water; until recently, 16 feet was considered sufficient. This idea has been exploded and numbers have driven their wells to 80 odd feet, thereby naproving*the water very ma terially. It is the candid opinion of onr health officer, Dr. Blain, that with proper drinking water, oars would be the healthiest oity.in all the land, there being no other causes for sickness of a local character. He re commends the BinkiQg of onr pumps as above described, thus getting rid of not only the surface water but all the impurities to which it is subject from drainage, cesspools etc. Meanwhile we do not take back a word we have written on the subjeot of artesian water, this we claim is a necessity and most come sooner or later. Broke Jail, Last Wednesday night between the hours of eight and nine, three prison ers escaped from our lock-up. There were four in the cell, two ohained to a bolt, two others not. By some means a file was gotten and the chains eat. The lock (alturge pad-lock) was pick ed, either by the parties within, through the grated door, or by oth rs outside. Three of the men toot leave, but one preferred to remain. Those who escaped ate John Williams, James Bartehgbs and Wanea Tharpe. Williams is the same chap that tried to kill Marsha! Beach a fewyears ago, and for which he has served two years in the convict camp. He has been ar rested five times since January for mi nor offenoes. James Burroughs is the obap who tried to out his wifeyi throat some time ago in a fit of jealousy. Tharpe is charged with burglary. The fellow who remained when the rest left is the oolored individual, Ed ward Blakely, who threatend some time since to burn up the town.— These fellows are still at liberty. The above suggests the importance of a - safer place for the confinement of pris oners, one similar to that burned just after the war—so strong that a 6x6 ,-ecantHng,25 feetlotog, usedtqs'a bat tering ram in the hands of 20 TJ. 8. soldiers conld not break in the door, even when a prisoner within was abont to be burned to doatb.' Our Furniture Store. Mr. Flint, onr furniture man, has an advertisement on this page. He has just received a splendid assort ment of furniture, of all styles and r prioes, cpmprisjMflijyjfting poinded in the furniture line. * We are pleased to see Mr. Flint embark so heavily in this business, for we think one need, of the commercial interests of, onr city is more concentration upon one line *of merchandise. • By this we mean that , each house, shall deal (in and make one particular line a spec ialty. Call on Mr. Flinty in his new. building opposite Rlaih’e drug store, Should you desire I anything in the 'WLSS* furniture, spring mattresses, window oortains, baby carriages, eta Judge M. L. Jtfershon, of the Brunswick airouit, will be e candidate for re-election before the next Legia- lature. That this eminent jurist will be elected by an overwhelming vote we have not the slightest doubt. He is true blue, and as popular as ever.—Darien Gazette. Correct Colonel. Judge Mersbon is • great favorite in this judicial cir cuit—is regarded as a fair minded man and an impartial Judge. Of coarse he will be elected over all op position. The Eeporter says so and ft don't often make a mistake.—Way- crow Reporter. THEN AND NOW. ie following is an tide No. 1, of a series published in ,the Brunswick Advocate 18^9,'ad vocating that, wljioh is of vital im portance tons to-day, viz, the lum ber business. The article in ques tion is signed •‘Refleoter.” It refers in ripping terms tot umDer Detween the Satilla rivers and urges the erection of saw mills to prepare the same for market Hear him 8pxbxts Tuepentixe—Oils and whiskey*, 41c;— regulars, 49b* - • Steam mills can be erected for $7000 $! to a saw or gang of saws. One sin- u ' gle saw or one gang of saws will cat, when properly attended, At least 6000 feet in 24s hours, vyhioh would ba, 180,000 feet per month, 1,660,000 feet a year. The nnmber of hahds necessary to attend a saw, or gang of saws, indnding engineers, is not over seven. ‘ Beckoning these at $400 a yeareach, indnding board, and yon have sin expense for labor, of Add to this $200, for repairs, and you have an expense of $3000. ,. Add to this the interest of $7000, at eight per cent, and you have an snnnal oat- lay of $3560; divide this by the amount sawed in a year, (1248 m.) with a deduction of 20. per cent, for eontingeuces, and yon have a cost of abont $2.85 cts. per thousand for saw ing. Add to this $8 per thousand for the cost of timber at the mill, and yon have an expense or ontiay of $5.85 cts. per thousand, or an annual expense of about $7804. The interest on the small amount of capital neces- saoy to carry on a mill after it is built, is hardly worth considering. Allowing ,io .the next place, you sawed lumber to sell for $12 per thousand at the head o£ ship naviga tion, (where mills should always be placed to prevent lumber from being split dirted, lost, and otherwise injur ed by removal) which is below its present valne, (it has been estimated some at $15 per thousand) and yon have an annual gross amount from one saw, or one gang of saw#, of $14,976, or a net profit, on an in vestment of $7000, besides interest at eight per cent, of at least $7,670. Mills built on a huge scale, that is, with from three to six saws or gang under one roof, the economy is much better, and the expense much less in proportion. Every.part of well built steam .mills will last ten years, and can then be rebuilt for About one half of the orignal cost. As I said at first ; there are between the rivers St. Marys and Altamaha at least two million acres of excellent timber lands. These will yielcTat least, at the first catting, 3000feet to the acre, which, when manufactured at $5 net profit per thousand, (whioh is less than the rea sonable expectation under the pres ent state-of things) would aflord a notgainlof thirty million of dollars. In -ten years after, a second crop could be obtained from the same land of nearly eqnal value.

( ' Brick and Lime. Owing to oar city council having passed a fire limit, and in order that all partite who may desire to bnild within the fire limit should not be de prived for the Want of, material, we havehnadca contract with Bogen & Cto., of Macon, by which we an enabled to deliver brick by the quan tity on ear here at $9.25. We are also agents for the celebrated Catoosa lime which we will also offer an in ducement to parties purchasing by the quantity. When we take into consideration that the' bnilder' tin Brnnswick can lay down material for a brick building cheaper, than can tbe builder of New York, there should no longer be any excuse to erect wooden bnildings within the fire limits.
