FROIU BBVnwiVK'l FRIEND.
Fair Haven, Conn., tjlept. 10,1885.
EnxTosa Advertiser and Appeal:—
la your issue of August 29, I read
with roach interest your suggestions
in relation to yoar proposed “Trade
Issue,” No. 2. The valae to Bruns
wick of such an issue as an advertise
ment, cannot be estimated. To in
vestors it not only returns ns you
modestly state, ten for one, but in
my opinion a nincb larger ratio. The
betels to be derived from such an is
sue by both city and citizens are
large and many. With the informa
tion conveyed of wbat and where
Brunswick is, wbat she is doing, and
wbat sbe can do, under reasonable
and favorable circumstances, with her
resources, surroundings, climate, at
tractions, hospitality of her people,
her glorious artesian wells, etc., etc.,
each and all fully and ably written
up—Brunswick cannot have a better
advertisement abroad thnn an attrac
tive “Trade Issue'’ from the press of
her leading newspaper.
Basiness this summer has called
me to over titty towns in my native
State, and in every one of them I
bear inquires made uf some nature
about Brunswick, Ga., butiprincipally
of her nrtisian wells. So you can
judge somewhat bow their fame has
§one abroad.
I I have talked up Brunswick in all
my travels since leaving her last
spring, for I believe in her future, and
I expect to make my future with her
tgery fall, winter and spring, and in
the summer during mv absence I do
not forget her or forget to speak a
good word for her at every opportu
nity and on every occasion, and as I
converse of and about Brunswick, at
a very low estimate with 500 differ
ent persons during my absence from
tbe city, I do not think my absence
is detrimetal to her in any respect,
and I always endeavor to make it of
as much interest and benefit to her ns
possible.
I commenced this with tbe inten
tion of giving you my order for the
Trade Issue, but I have written a few
words additional, for whenever I
gpeak > of Brtinswick I get warmed
up on the subject, it comes so natu
ral to me. Intruding no further on
your valuable time, I give my order
^or fifty copies of your Trade Issue,
which please reserve for me until my
arrival, if issned prior to that time.
Yon may also rely on me for my share
^ of such support to the soheme as may
be necessary, or my co-operation in
any manner that I can serve you.
On my way South, before reaching
Brunswick I sbnll have occasion as
now arranged, to stop over in fifteen
different places, and I hope to increase
my order for tbe Trade Issue to 100
copies on my arrival. H. E. B.

To-Day.
On tbe results of to-day hang an
issue that means prosperity or ad
versity to tbe city of Brunswick. To-
tay’s vote either booms our city for
ward or shoves it backward. Vote
“water and gas," and you can say to
the world that Brunswick is a live
place and her people are alive to her
interests nnd are determined to raise
her standard higher and higher. Or
vote “against wutet and gas" and you
declare to the world that we don't
want progress, as a city, but prefer to
run along in the old rnt, nnd continue
as wo are. Pmider well this day,
yon opponents of this measure, be
fore you do the. cruel act of voting
“agniust water nnd gas.”

OBITUARY.
The angel of Death visited tbe home
of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Wimberly on
tke 3d day of September instant, and
took away their daughter, Edna May,
aged two years and three months.—
It was an afflictive dispensation of the
All-wise, for sbe was the darling of
the family, and her developing char
acteristics gave good promise of fu
ture brilliancs and loveliness. Her
death bas left a void in tbe hearts of
her parents, grandmother and great
grandmother that tbe world can nev
er fill. But while their tears of sor-
r flow they “sorrow not even aB
others which have no hope,” but with
Christian resignation bow to tbe will
of Him who gave aDd who bath taken
away, knowing that He doeth all
things well, and that an inseparable
and happy re-union with their dear
little one awaits them in heaven. They
have the deep sympathy of their nu
merous friends.

We want a word to tbe turn, wo
men and girls who work in stores,
offices and factories. There are bun
dreds of thousands of you in the

Your liver, Rtotnacli and kidneys are

Tho Debate.
By special request, the B. L. Club
debated the question, “Resolved that
tbe Jeter and Board man contract
should be adopted by the city of
Brunswick,’’ on Thursday night last
at L’arioso Hall, before a goodly num
ber of citizens of both sexes. Tbe
disputants were Benton Byrd, Ed
Greer, Clarence Leavy and Carl
Stacy, affirmative; Dan KraUBS, Claude
Dart, Willis Dart aud Minter Ed
wards, negative. The young mem
bers first held the floor pouring
broadside after broadside into their
antagonists, each speaker well con
vinced that he bad proven beyond a
shadow ol a doubt bis side to be
right. After tbe younger members
bad closed, the two older ones, Messrs.
Carl Stacy and Minter Edwards,
locked horns, tbe former pleading for
water and gas, and the latter opposed
thereto. Tbe first speaker brought
to bear not only “facts aDd figures,”
but the “law” as well, proving conclu
sively to bis own mind at least that
tbe present water nnd gas contract
should be accepted unhesitatingly.
After be taken bis seat, Minter arose
and seeming to comprehend fully
that be had really very little to use
by way of solid argument—being on
tbe wrong side of tbe question—do
termined to tnnke the best of tbe situ
ation and win bv wit and satire. To
this end he went to work, and from
the time be stepped on the stage—
even before he said a single word—
until he got through (forty minutes)
he kept bis nudience convulsed. He
showed tip everything jin its most
comical light, throwing in seintila-
tions of wit that "brought down tbe
house” every time.
Col. J. S. Johnson presided over
the deliberations, and nt the close of
the debate, reviewed to n limited de
gee tbe arguments on both sides of
tbe ense, and decided the coldest in
favor of he negative. (Bnt it is our
opinion that by to-nigbt he will feel
like a Judge whose decisions were
reversed by tbe Supreme Court.)
Tbe best of humor prevailed among
tbe disputants und all went away
happy, the club feeling assured that
their efforts were appreciated and the
citizens proud of the B. L. C. boys.
