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.

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 •oy city in tbe country, nnd there is 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 •* themselves. It will bear the most if | thorongh scrutiny. Shell Fish. .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. VESSELS LOADED. CITY MARSHAL’S SALES.
