Death or Ned Bailor-Valae of riaarae*
ler In the Bumbleat Citizen
strikingly llluatrated.
On tb« 16tb nf December Neit Bni
lor i1i«<l; uii the 17tli li« wns buruni.
Who tv mi Jfeil Bailor? A coloreil
«lau of ripe old aye, an humble work
er, a member of the African Baptist
chnrclij'of the colored Masonic and
Benevolent societies; lor years past u
drayman mi his own account, and en-
g«K‘‘4»n -tl.is work when prostrated
by his lust illness.
Trnlhfnl, honest, faithful, a leading
singer in the church choir of his
church, treasurer of benevolent socie
ties organized among his people, he
won nn<l held the confidence of all,
both white nod lilack.
During the war be was in the ser
vice with Mr. Wiggins, of Waynes-
ville in the Fourth Georgia cavalry,
acting as Hrnnitner. Since the organ
ization of our military company he
has been its drummer.
At his funeral the colored Masons
tamed ont in force, the cbarch was
crowded with people, the Brnnswick
Riflemen inarched to the colored cem
etery from the church and buried
him with niilitu«-y honors. A more
’Striking tribute to true north in tlfe
humblest station was never knowu
than this. It teaches to all, the high
est and the humblest, the-value of a
•worthy life.Sbo certainty of its recog
nition everywhere and under nil cir-
•camstnnecs.
That Biz Hotel.
At last united effort has culmina
ted in ivbut seems now a certainty in
the matter of a hotel on Long Island,
an outlying Island of St. Siinpus.
The point selected is the southern end
The scheme has beeD worked up
through Mr. Robert Brice, of Tennes
see, nisn largely interested in our new
phosphate works on the main land.
The plans and specifications of this
hotel have been in our city this week.
When completed, the building will
He four hundred feel front, with a
depth of sixty feet and five stories
bigb, and will coutinn several hundred
rooms. The idea is to complete the
Same by spring. Long Island is sep
arated from t|ie SI. Simons by a salt
marsh. This will lie cause ivayud
. and bridged, ami a solid road built to
r the lauding at tbe mills. A railroad
will be built first from the mills to the
Island for the transportation of lum
ber for the hotel. As soon as com-
ploted the terminus at the mill will be
changed to the steamboat lauding
aiid a regular train run to and
from the hotel. The ground se
lected for tile Inoel is about 100
yards from the ocean on an elevpted
plateau. *Tnis will .prove u new de
parture in seashore hotels in this sec
tion. kVith such an enterprise here,
with the railroads interested, it will
fete just as easy to have 5,000.people
down next spring ns 500 the past
spring. Verily, the tide of prosperity
is on the boom for this section, for all
^ we lack is to let the world know, by
ocular demonstration, what we have.
Ours is a favored section, and the
world should know it.
The P!t»»|>!inie Work*.
We have known for mouths past
of the presence of phosphate rock in
this section, and that investigations
have proven that the supply is abun
dant. A company Ims been formed,
composed of Mr. Robert Brice, of
Tennessee, and associates, and indi
vidual members of the firm of Dodge,
Meigs & Co., of New York, these
latter gentleiSen owning the largor
interest. Tbe company is on a firm
) basis finnnciHlIy, and will push the
work vigorously. Prof. White, State
chemist, has nanlyzed tbe rock nnd
pronounces it rich in that which goes
I to make it. valuable as a phosphate.
Tbe first worn «•/ t**e company will be
toerect some temporary machinery to
prepare n lot of the rock for shipment
nnd use. If it proves to be what is
expected, then permanent works will
be erected and this new industry (for
us) be launched forth. Who can es
timate the great value to us of
this scheme? Millions of dollars
worth of hitherto wortlihs* material
converted into cash and employment
given to hundreds of people. As
stated above, the supply is inexuansl-
«hie. Mr. Brice and Mr. Meigs have
both linen here within the past week,
looking afier the cotes prise, and show
their appreciation by putting their
money into it. The property on
which this valuable deposit is found
has beeu purchased of and through
Mr. F. D. Scarlett, of onr city, and
contains several thousand acres of
land. Tbe papers have nil beeu
signed, and this is good evidence of
the faith of the company in tbe enter
prise.

Nearer 81111.
Brunswick nnd St. Simons Mills
have been brought still nearer to
gether by means of telephonic com
munication. We enjoyed a pleasant
chat s few dnys since over thia lino
with oar young frimd Jno. Young.
We were eight miles apart with part
of the line on the bed of the liver,
and yet we could hear every word
spoken and detect the voice with ns
much ease as if in the next room with
the door open. Wo trust that not
only the mill folks but others over
there will add their names to the list.
