SATURDAY MORNINO. SEPTEMBER SO, ISM.
Brunswick as a Winter Resort
and Sanitarium.
Tlie special advantages offered by
Brunswick to invalids and pleasure
seekers from the North and North
west are first and foremost, the
tiealthfalness of the city at all seasons,
as shown by onr mortuary reports for
a term of years; second, protection by
the islands along the coast from the
full force of the severe northwestern
storms, wbioh visit the coast in win
ter; third, accessibility to these is
lands, and by way of our two railroads
to the interior, both the islands and
the interior offering fine opportuni
ties for hunting and fishing. Salt wa
ter fishing on the islands and in the
v barbor and in the salt water creeks
that penetrate the interior, fresh water
fishing in the Satilla river, Finholo-
way creeK, and other interior fresh
water streams cnn be carried on to an
unlimited extent. Deer, turkey, par
tridge or qunil, squirrel are plentiful,
both on the islands and in the inte
rior; and duck, marsh hens and other
water birds nre in the barbor, and nil
along the inner passage on the const
north mid south of us. In the fall the
best of sport is shooting rice birds.
Many have come to Brunswick in
the first stages ol pulmonary troubles,
who have been fully restored to vigor
ous health and strength. The islands
of St. Simons, Jekyl, and Cumberland,
Bong Island, Blythe Island, afid Colo
nels Island are fine points for excur
sions. On St. Simon8 and Cumber
land there nre fidb. opportunities for
surf-bathing in Bummer, and hun
dreds of people are attracted to the
const from middle nnd north Ooorgia,
Alaburoa, Tennessee and Kentucky
every year to onjoy this bathing and
ihe delightful drives on the.bencb, the
Cumberland beach especially being
one of the finest on the const—twen
ty-two miles long nnd os smooth and
bard ns a floor. The number from
tho interior Reeking the coast each
summer to enjoy the bathing aud to
fish nnd bnut grows groater enoh
year, nnd with ainplo hotel facilities
nt Brunswick, aud steamboats mak
ing regular trips to St. Simons nnd
Cumberland Islands, ns they now do,
and hotel accommodations on the Is
lands, run in connection with the
Brunswick hotels, would insure suffi
cient business to keep hotels open nnd
paying expenses in summer—au ad
vantage ovor tho hotels in Florida,
which can only be kopt open duiing
the winter seuson. Indeed, many be
lieve that the summer tourists and
pleasure seeker* from the interior
would furnish as remunerative pat
ronage to hotels here os winter guests.
A hotel of »eve|ty-flve rooalsfj^eoj^
Lore nnd opened sixteen months ago,
bos been constantly full, and at times
been compelled to turn away guests
for waut of room, both summer and
winter, and ample assurances are of
fered that a new hotel equally large,
cr even two or three more would be
promptly filled by winter guests from
the North. The plan^bave already
been prepared for another hotel nine
ty by one hundred and thirty-five feet,
three storiea high, of brjok, with al
snodern improvements, aodiltfll Q
other hotel on a much farmer scale, is
contemplated to Iw erected for next
year’s business.
There are many poiuts of intense
historical iuterest to the enrions in
such matters. The old garrison town
of Frederica ou St. Simons, occupied
b.v General Oglethorgo from 1735 for
Many years, and later by Major Hor-
tou, who succeeded him in the gov
ernment of the colouy; the “bloody
Marsh” on St, Simons, where by a
stratagem, Gen. Oglethorpe defeated
the Spanish invasion from Florida,
with great slaughter, driving them to
'heir flotilla in our harbor and the
abandonment of the Island, nnd of
their expedition; the scene also o
|Charles and John Wesley nnd of
I Whitfield’s labors. Oo Jekyl Island
Major Horton established a . brewery,
successfully raising barley and manu
facturing ales and beers said to equal
the Deal manufacturedJjn England.—
On the south end of Onmberland
is Daogenness, the home of General
Green, given to him for services as
commander-in-obief of the southern
forces in the Revolutionary straggle,
and the burial place of Light Horse
Harry L<>e, of Revolutionary fame. It
has been recently purchased by Mr,
Carnoochie, a wealthy citizen of Pitts
burg, Pa., who is erecting a palatial
residence, and expending large sums
in beautifying the grounds.
Three miles from Brunswick, on
the lands of H. C. Day, is a sulphur
spring in a delightful location and
resorted to often as a pleasant drive,
and twenty miles from Brunswick,
near Waynesville and on the line of
the Brunswick & Albany Railroad, is
a spring of sulphnr water in a lovely
oak grove, and possessing curative
properties of an important character.
Thus it is seen that Brunswick, as a
winter resort and sanitarium, and as
o summer resort, possesses advantag
os certain, with reasonable hotel facil
ities, to bring ample compensation
to hotel proprietors. Obsebyer.

Oysters and Fish at Brunswick.
A FINE OPENING FOR CAPITA*.
The fishing banks, only a few miles
off the coast, furnish inexhaustible
quantities of red snnppers, black fish,
Spnnish mackerel, aud other fish, aud
tho owner of a fishing sloop, rather
two of them, could find n ready mar
ket in the interior for all the fish they
could catchy There is fine fishing ju
our barbor end ip the numerous salt
water rivers and creeks that penetrate
the interioi, by cast nets, gill nets,
seines nnd tbe book nnd line. A few
thousand dollars conld not be invest
ed to better adrantuge than in a good
fish market, combined with shipments
to tho intorior cities of Atlanta, Ma
con, Americns nnd Albany.
No finer oysters cnn be found on
the coast. Large, deep water single
oysters abound. There are numerous
creeks admirably ndsptod for plant
ing. Tho present supply, without
planting, would last with a heavy
druin on it for mnny years, and with
judicious planting, conld be largely
increased, nnd made practically inex
haustible. Tho shipments to the inte
rior cities would also furnish a hand
some sonreo of revenue, nnd no finer
location can bo found for an oyster
canning establishment.
The writer lived foi a number of
yoars on Cliosapenke bay, nnd is fa
miliar with the finest oysters of that
favored oyster region, ami Inis eaton j
plenty of oysters in Brunswick, year-1
ly for tbo past Hvelvo years equal to
tbe finest fauna in Virginia. So im
portant a source of revenue is tbe oys
ter trade to Virginia that stringent
laws are passed for their protection,
and liberal laws to encourage their
propagation, aud a heavy tax assessed
upon all engaging in the trade in the
publio waters of the State. Yet Geor
gia, with her millions upon millions
of bushels of, oysters Los given the
matter little attention, and private
oapital has, as yet, failed to enter this
field of bonanza profits. A company
or an individual with ten thousand
dollars, invested in planting, selling
and canning, can in ike, with ease,
lieurtliy join (mid they are legion) in
tbe assertion that if the creeks sur
rounding Brunswick nre adapted to
terrapiu farming, it will pay. Experts
say that special advaututnges are of
fered near Brunswick for their propa
gation and by rail and steamer we
Lave ample facilities for shipment to

no city which is not a market for this
delicacy, and it can be transported to
any distance.
Readers of tbe trade issue desiring
profitable investment of a small
amount of capital conld not do better
thou to investigate this subject for

.The gentleman whose name beads
this article, and whose advertisement
appears elsewhere, being bo material
ly identified with ns, conducting, as
he does, tbe largest lumber business
in tbe oity, it is bnt due him that we
give him more than a passing notice.
We append bt low a statement of the
business done by him in Brunswick
for the year ending Sept. 30tb, 1882.
Mr. Reppard is one of the most
wide-awake business men of the
South. Starting, as he did, in the
sawmill business as u matter ol choice,
in early life, be has filled every posi
tion in nnd about a sawmill from
wheeliug sawdust and driving timber
carts to tbe most important. Having
succeeded bU father, Mr. Aaron Rep
pard, (who, by tbe way, built and
owned tbe first circular sawmill in tbe
State of Georgia), he now controls
one of, if not tbe largest, businesses
exclusively re-sawn yellow pine
lumber in the State—nnd well he
controls it, too, having taken the pri
mary course, as it were, and made
the business not only a work but a
study in all' its branches up to his
present position. Quite an important
position be now holds, too, supplying
tbe trade, both foreign nnd coastwise,
daily with from three hundred to
thre? hundred and twenty-five thou
sand feet of merchantable lumber,
and giving employment to hundreds
of men, both white aud colored.
Mr. Reppard’s business has been Foreign
one of sternly growth, increasing all Co “* lwl, ° "
the time. He commenced utilizing
our port in 1875, shipping 3,000,000
feet tho first year, and his prosperity
has been due solely lo his good judg
ment and wonderful business ability.
He has always believed—and that
rightly—that wild timber lands were
tbe gold mines of Georgia, and hav
ing made n large umouiit of money in
the lost two years from city of Savan
nah bonds, Central Railrtmd stocks
and real estate, lie bus backed his
judgment, aud to-day stnuils the pos-
[ Hcssor of an immense amount of wild
timber lands uud sawmill property
generally, mills, mules and all equip-
rnents, wbiob, in tbe course of time,
may yet prove a bonanza to him, be-,
sides the amount of good it will do
for others.
Mr. Reppard’s shipments for the
past year show a decrease of 3,000,000
feet from the port of Brunswick in
comparison with tho previons year’s
business, bnt when we consider tbe
loss of his Dixoniu mill, which means
from twelve to fifteen million feet a
year, it shows a decided iacrease.
The Dixonia mill, owned by Rep
pard & Walter, has been rebuilt on a
more convenient site at a considera
ble cost and outlay of money, being
now eitnnted on the Wavcross & Pa
cific Railway, a_rond built aud owned
‘fornAX-a-a .
Gr-A^,
low pine timber tbe State of Georgia
possesses. We expect by our next
trade issue to be able to give an ac
count of this property surpassing eveu
our anticipations, and proving a great
source of revenue to Mr. Reppard, to
whom, being an active and enterpris-
wurker, i{ will always be our pleasure
to record success.
Of Mr. Reppard’s operations here
in onr city wp might add, that he has
mx hundred and ■ seventy-five feet of
wharves with eight side tracks from
the main line of the B. & A. Road,
besides a lumber yard extending over
a half mile nlong the track toward the
Point. Indeed, so extensive nre bis
operations here that be has to have a
switch engine, which he owns, for
shifting his cars. He employs here
alone nbout thirty-five men, whose
families look to his business for sup
port; so that we might very well es
timate that be feeds ODe hundred aud
forty mouths, directly, besides others
indirectly or in part. Without posi
tive ilata before us we enunot give ex-
nct figures, bat would estimate thnt
his entire business feeds probably four
thousand people in Georgia.
