The Municipal Election. Last Saturday was a lively day in oar town. “From early morn till dewy eve" committees, with teams, were rushing here and there in every direction, bringing voters to the polls —for, were there not a Mayor and four Aldermen to be elected?—and, judging from the appearance of things, a stranger would have thought that the fate of empires depended on that day’s work. The more we see of elections, the more we are convinced, as the people of many other States, that there should be some kind of qualification necessary other than those now in vogue. It is our candid opinion that no man should be entitled to the privilege of elective franchise who cannot read—else how does he know for whom he is voting, and is not an election by persons unable to read un constitutional, the parties voting not knowing, of their own knowledge, for whom their votes were cast ? Every voter should, at least, be able to reg ister his name, business, age and place of residence. Below we give the results of the day’s voting. By reference to the figures, it will be seen that three of the Colson ticket were elected, and two of the Dunn ticket: FOB MAYOR. 51. J. Colson 303 D. T. Dunn 290 FOB ALDERMEN. S. C. Littlefield.... 316 John P. Harvey 316 E. A. Nelson 314 T. O’Connor, Jr 313 J. S. Burns 312 A. T. Putnam 306 C. L. Schlatter, Jr 274 W. F. Doerflinger 250 Total vote cast, 603. Our Mails. The suggestions of “Civis” to the Board of Trade, to be found in this issue, are well timed indeed. Our mail facilities certainly call for decid ed action on the part of some body. The Board of Trade should at once take bold of the matter. Our North ern mails can be brought over the B. fi A. R. R. just as well as not, and, not only so, but they could be sent- over that line as well. The B. & A. trains going west roach Waycross ahead of the fast mail going to Savan nah, anil, going east, reach Waycross an hour or more ufier the fast moil should arrive from Savannah. Now it docs seem to us that if the proper authorities should tako hold of ihis matter good could bo accomplished. Now wo are fully aware that the B. & A. B. R. has not boon contracted with to carry said mail, but that can easily bo arranged by application to headquarters. There is a power that can arrange all this, and it will be douo if proper applicalion bo made. Now if tho M. & B. R. R. is going to run thoir day trains through to Brunswick, as they should, then there will bo no necessity for this change— but if not, wo think it is high time somebody* was looking into the mat- tef. Meanwhile, wo suggest that the arrangement with tho B. & A. be en tered into until tho M. & B. deter mines upon a policy. The Viclette Again. This steamship is again in port for auother cargo of that 35,000 boles con tracted to be shipped through our port. She will take 1,600 bales this time. This is but an index of wbat can be done as facilities increase. Mr. Thos. E. Daniels, representative of tho Inmans, of Attanta, who are the shippers, is here, superintending the shipment. We congratulate our peo ple on this the opening, so to speak, of a grand cotton trade through our port. Whaler in Port. The whaling schooner Franklin, Captain Avery, of New Bedford, ar rived in port this week with a cargo of about 4,000 gallons of oil—tho re sult of a six months’ cruise. This car go represents obout $4,000. Ibe oil will bo barrelled here and sent North. We welcome Captain Avery to our port, and rejoice with him in his suc cessful trip. May he continue to come. Board ot Trade. f Mr. Editor: In your last you in quired after tbe Board ot Trade. The inquiry 1b very opportune. There art, as yon say, several matters that should engross the attention of the Board. First and foremost, they shonld take into consideration our present mail facilities. If tbe M. & B. R. R. can’t bring in our mails for ns as it shonld, the Board might se' enre an arrangement whereby said mails could, bo brought by way of Wa|crqsB and the BJ & A. R. R._ Thife is .nothing on earth to prevent it, but for some decided action on the part of some such body as a Board of Trade. Auother very im portant matter for tbe consideration of the Board is the reception of those railroad people who will be here in a very short while. I moan Messrs. Wolffe & Co., representing the B. & A. and t£e Erlangcr system, and the businesp men of Macon, Atlanta, Rome, Chattanooga and elsewhere, who are coming down over the E. T., V. & G. to viBit Brunswick and get acquainted with ofir people.. These gentlemen mean bnsiness, and I know of no set of men who could better meet them and show them around than our Board of Trade. There are many other things, Mr. Editor, that the Board might look after, so stir them up and let’s have a meeting. . . Civis. Hearing Fruit* Our trade issue has proven a big advertisement for our city. Hundreds of people have, through its columns, learned of Brunswick and her facili ties, her bnsiness and her people.— Scores of letters have been received from all parts of the country, making inquiry after property offered for sale, positions, openings for different en terprises, etc. We know of several families now making ready to move here. The truth is that the eyes of the people of our own State, too, have been opened by tbat trade is sue. Mr. Dart, our Representative in the Legislature, tells ns that num bers of influential men remarked to him that they were astonished at tho figqreB given, and that they bad be fore no idea of the volume of business done here. Yes, business men of Brunswick, our trade issue is bearing fruit. If yon have any copies left, send them out where they will do the most good, and when your supply is exhausted, remember we have some left yet. * Somethin!! New on Newontttlo Street. Wo saw on exhibition this week, in Messrs. Moore & Merrifield’s, a set of harness manufactured by thorn, which for beauty, strength and durability equal any tbat wo have ever examined. Tho material is splendid and the workmanship good. Their business, too, is increasing, as evidenced by the fact that they contemplate adding an other story to their establishment.— Tho preseut frout is to givo plaeo to something handsomer. Our Apology. Last issue of the Advertiser and Appeal was simply unreadable—tbat is, tho iusido pages. Wo could not help ourself. Tho weather was so cold that tho ink would not flow, and what shonld bavo been an hour’s work took four to accomplish. We hope never to bo caught in a similar plight again. ^ MaKUuemtle Bull.

It is onr painful duty to record the death of onr esteemed townsman, Ld» Baron Drury, who for twelve years has been one of the leading business men of our city, ever aotive in all ef forts to develop our business, and an intelligent and zealous representative of . the English government at this port ns British Consul. He died peacefully at 12:30 a. m. on the lltb inst., after a protracted illness and much suffering, at the age of sixty- nine years. Unaccustomed to illness and pain, be bore them with Christian resignation, and of him all can say with propriety, he was honest, tried and trne. He was for many years High Sher iff of St. Johns county, in the Prov ince of New Brunswick, where his family have for generations held high position and exercised influence, and was for many years engaged in the cotton compress and forwarding busi ness, first in Galveston and then in Norfolk, from which last named city be moved to our port, fondly hoping to build up such a business here, and working against obstacles well nigh insurmountable, be accomplish ed this result with partial success, and was looking earnestly for full and complete sticcess upon tbe re-organi zation of tbe B. & A. R. R. company, and the development of business by the E. T., V. & G. R. R. company, when, just on the eve of such re-or ganization and development, death claimed him as a victim. He will be sadly missed by many friends who had learned ta love him for bis many attractive qualities of head and heart, and, by the whole community for which be has worked with a faith which knew no wavering. He leaves a wife, two sons and a daughter to mourn his loss, who have, we are assured, tbe heartfelt sympathy of all onr people. Why Is it That the boys will show more at tention to a new girl than the old ones they have always known? That some men think other men’s wives more amiable than their own ? That some merchants will insist on saying that their goods are better than those of other merchants, who perhaps buy from tbe same houses they do ? Tnat mothers allow their children to run wild over tbe streets, and then wonder where they learn so much badness? That some people will insist on making statements that they ought to kuow other people won't believe sim ply because tboy know better ? That men will be so foolish us to “cut their noses to spite their faces?” liijit truth travels 60 much slower than error? Tbat so few people really practice what they preach ? • That Indies will follow the fashions eveu if it transforms their beautiful selves into very unloveable objects ? That some peoplo will spend more than they niakainan attempt to cut a swell and imagine other folks can't see, through their tricks ? And lastly, why is it that some of our chronic idlers, who sit around day after day, crying “hard times,” don’t go to work and “turn up” something for themselves, thus en riching their own pockets, nnd prov ing themselves worthy tho mothers tbat bore them ? Car Factory Figure*. Has our car factory project died oat ? Tho following figures from an exchange causes us to renew the sub ject, and arge tbat tbe matter lie still no longer. Tbe investment would certainly be a paying one. “Treasurer Watson, of the Carters- villo, Ga., car factory, tells me that the factory paid 25 per cent cash div idend and passed 12 per cent cash to a reserve fund the first year of its op eration. It built 600 cars tbat year, and has a capacity of over 1,200 cars per annum. As it cleared 37 per cent net cash its first twelve months, and is doing better the present year, it may be pat up as an example of what money and skill can do in monnfac- taring in Georgia.” Madison Square Theatre Company ) fThTs well-known . company "liave been engaged to play at L'arioso Hall next Monday and Tuesday nights by L’arioso Club. By reference to the advertisement, it will be seen that the company will play “Esmeralda” on Monday night and “Hazel Kirke’’ on Tuesday night. Of the latter play we need say nothing, as onr people are thoroughly familiar with it, having seen it rendered here several months since by tbe same company. In ref erence to the other play, an exchange says: “When Hazel Kirke was withdrawn from the stage of the Madison Square Theatre, after its wonderful run, many people predicted that its suc cessor never would win the high plnce in public favor which tbe great drama held. It did not, however, take the critical New York theatre-go ers long to discover fine dramntio sit uations and bidden beauties in Es meralda wbicb made this simple do mestic story by universal consent tbe successor nnd rival of Hazel Ivirke.' ” Ctilhollo Fair Postponed. The Catholic Fair, which was to bnvo taken place this week, has been postponed for a month or *wo. A want of due preparation for making tho fair what it ought to be has sug gested its being deferred to a more opportune time. Due notice will be given of it wheu it couios. The pro ceeds of the fair are for the new Catholic church, and as tbe building will go its wav lo enhance tbe appear ance and worth of our city, it is hoped tbo public Hpii it of onr citizens will appear in tlie interest they manifest in this mailer. Catholic Priest. Died On Thin hdny last.TSf scarlet fever, little Maud, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Pennimau, of this city. May He who said, “Suffer little children to come unto Mo and forbid them not,” enable the heart stricken parents to feel tbat ’tia well with the child, and tbat another link has thns been add ed to tbe chain tbat binds them to heaven. ____ Mr. Editor: Tho city election is dunn over. Wo haven’t bad any earthquakes, storms, or very high tides since. Everything and most ev erybody is quiet. The only event worth noting is that the magnificent, sensational poultry sign, which has, for some wcoks, adorned tho show window of a fancy goods store, has dunn been taken down, for reasons supposed to bo sensitive and sen sible. Bou. Notice. Tho annual meeting of the Glynn County Agricultural Society will take place at 11 a.m. On the first Wednesday in January. Tim election of officers will then occur nnd tho question of tho annual fair will be decided npon. Meeting will be held at L’arioso Hall nnd all parties interested, both Indies and gentlemen, are expected to be present. D. T. Dunn, Pres’t. Died On Wednesday last, a little infant of Mr. and Mrs. L.
