city. They grew at Frederica ou Mr.
Will Taylor's place, and retail rewdily
at twenty cents per quart The
growth of these could be made a lu
crative industry here ns well as the
sand pear, and other things. True, it
takes time to mature thorn, but when
matured, these trees will form a never-
ending source of wenltb. Why will
our farming population allow these
avenues to wealth to - remain dor
mant? .
New town has taken on new life of
late. A circuit through that portion
of the city last Wednesday afternoon
revealed to ns a score of new improve
ments. We stood at a single point
and counted a dozen new buildings,
either finished or in process of com
pletion. They were most of them
really nice buildings. We observed
also several old buildings renovated,
among these the residence of llir.
Ed Harvey. The location and sur
roundings are all that remain to re
mind one what building it is. Old
Town has been leading in improve
ments until now, but New Town is
now on the boom.
Miss Josie Smith, who has been at
school in New York for a year or two

Almost a Conflagration.
But for the prompt action of those
on board the Italian bark Viu
cenzu, and the other vessels lying
alongside at Cook’s dock, last Toes
day afternoon, the above heading
wood have been a great mianoiner,
for wo should have bad not only “nl
most,” bnt altogether one of the big'
gest of conflagrations. The galley
or cook house of the bark took fire
within and was burning furiously
when discovered. Tho alarm was
promptly given nnd an impromptu
brigade formed. Meanwhile tlm steam
tug Inca came to the scene ready for
action, but fortunately was not need
ed, the work of extinguishing the
flames being accomplished by the
above brigage.
Had that fire gotten beyond con
trol there is no telling how much
barm might, have been done, for there
wore at least six or eight vessels
moored alongside of each other at
the dock. It being spring tides, and
dead low” water, each of them was
aground, nud could not have gotten
away, and the docks were piled with
lumber. There wm a big sighuf relief
when the announcement was made
that the fire was out. The hoi.k and
ladder truck was at tbe sceue as soon
as the scribe was, who jumped into a
passing wagon and drove rapidly to
the place.
Clover St Doan’s Christinas Display.
Last Wednesday our reporter saun
tered into tbe store of Messrs. Glover
& Dunn, booksellers and stationers.
To describe in detail the wilderness
of Christmas goods tbnt filled their
house would bo impossible in our
limited space. Ranged on both sides
of their spacious stc re-room, and
piled up in* tbe center, he saw nn in
numerable array of elegant glass and
table ware, mirrors, pictures, books,
dolls, holiday fireworks, stationery,
etc., besides nil those smaller bnt not
less important articles that captivate
tbe loDging eyes of tbe little ones. In
front of tbe store an immense num
ber of toy wagons was piled u|>
around the post that bears their busi
ness sign. Tbe front show windows
were filled with some of tbe most
beautiful of tbeir Christmas toys, and
before these stood an army of small
boys, who were busied in selecting,
each for bimself, tbe particular gift
wbicb, in his' estimation, that mythi
cal friend of ohildbood, Santa Claus,
ought to put in his stocking. Messrs.
Glover A Dunn deserve praise for
their enterprise, and we hope they
will renp a boantiful harvest daring
this holiday season.
Oar Trade Pamphlet.
Tho past few weeks have been sad
ones to us, for they have been
fraught' with so much of dieap
pointment; for, although we have
done all in our power to push for
ward tbe work of issuing our Trade
Pamphlet, our efforts havo been
thwarted by tbe negligence of those
upon wbora we bad to depend lor our
engravings. This delay is our excuse
for failing to complete tho work a
month ago. We have had to answer
the question, “When will your Trade
Pamphlet bo out?” so mnny times of
Into in an nnCertnin way, tbnt wo are
ashamed to meet our patrons, who
have done so nobly in helping ns out
with the work, nnd who feel a big in
terest in the enterprise. Just here
we wish to sav, in parenthesis, that
from the 24th day of March, 1875, to
tin's date, the peoplo of this town
bnve never failed to respond when we
bnve called on them, and we honor
them for it. We make no promises;
bnt hope to send out our Trade
Pamphlet on its mission of booming
Brunswick during tbo coming week;
tbnt, is, providing tbe wicked en
gravers finish up their work in time.

Christmas lias come Again, and
brought with it a season of rejoicing
and festivity. The old are reviewing
the year nearly closed, and laying
plans for the business of another soon
to come. Tee young, fret r from care,
think only of the pleasures of the day.
To all, rich and poor, old and young,
Tm: Advertiser and Appeal wishes a
renewal of that first Christmas greet

toward men."

How sweot it is to be remembered !
So thought we, ns we looked over oar
little Christmas contributions. First
came a royul big gobbler, nil nicely
dressed, with compliments of our en-
terpiising young friend, E. O. Flitch,
the grocer. Next, we received a nice
fruit cuke from that veteran grocery-
man, S. M. Gloganer; anil last, but
none the less prized, a dozen oranges
from the trees of Dr. F. A. Brewster.
Many thanks, gentlemen, to every
one of yon.

in u good bnmor.
All tbe mills on the river are in full
blast, and mill men are in good hu
mor, but loggers are not.
All the liquor dealers of Camden
county have returned except two,
who have short sentences.
Col. Atkinson makes bis required
trips to tbe Justice conrts, and sees
that justice is dealt out, especially to
bis clients.
Tbe railroad talk io tbe county bos
about died out. We hope some one
will pass tbrongh and say something
to start it ngaio.
Dan Mitchell, the lunatic sent from
this connty last spring, has returned
with more sense than be ever bad,
and still a Democrat.
R. S. Lang bos bought out J. K.

All the rice planters have nearly

from the freshet of tbe season.
We were happy to meet Dr. Bur
roughs, from Brunswick, a few days
ago. The doctor comes to visit his
debtors, nnd we are glad wo are not
one.
The Cracker Boy did good service
on ber'last trip by saving tbo crew of
the Amos Wnde, she being nearly
swamped on kor trip from up tbe
river with timber for Cook Bros. A
Co.
Two murders have occurred in tbe
county since I last wrote, and no ar
rests have been made. Another ran
away from a little rice stealing scrape,
and he met his death at King’s
Ferry.
There will be a big ball at King’s
Ferry on tbe 22d of December, and
wa hope for one at Sntilla Bluff, nnd
also trust that Mr. Long, at Owens
Ferry, will Again enliven our hearts
and feet.
Christmas is utmost here, and tba
thirsty peoplo of tho old Satilln River
neighborhood nre looking forward
to next Thursday’s trip of the
Cracker Boy with more anxiety than
to tho day of Christ'mis.
Messrs. McKinnon A Ward have
bought nearly all tho unboxed lAnd

pect to put up tho third still nnd buy
about a dozen mules nnd horses, nnd
aro hard nt work cutting boxes.
We were glad to welcome Miss
Lilia Lung, who has been spending a
few months in Texas. She is well,
nnd looking prettier than ever.
Yonng ladies on the Sntilla are few,
but pretty and attractive; and, strange
to say, there are fonrleen bachelors,
nnd no prospects of a wedding this
Christmas.
The Episcopal Bishop officiated in
the church of that denomination nt
Owen’s Ferry last Sunday.' Mr. Winn
preached in tbe same church ou tbe
second Sunday, and on account of
bad weather had bnt five worldly
young men to listen to him, and they
would get off tbe track occasionally.
Tbe enterprising young men at
Jerusalem have put in new pounders,
bought a separator, and are turning
out a very nice grade of rice, and will
be glad to have tbe patronage of all
the dealers in tbo community. They
thresh and pound rice, grind coru
and keep a store. We hope some
day they will realize that their labors
have profited them. Saxcho.
A DEAD LOCK.
Travel over the E. T. V. A G. Rail
road, from Anatoli to Atlanta, was
brought to a standstill tbia weak for a
few hours, owing to the recent mis
hap. Both tbe roads use tbe Georgia
Pacific track over this line, and the
question of $300,000 damages was be
ing shifted from one to the other, and
oaused much feeling. In the coro
ner’s investigation the oonflict between
tbe roads manifested itself in vari
ous ways. Since that time the feel
ing has grown worse, tbe Georgia
Paoifio making tbe formal de
mand tdat their construction of the
road rules should be acoepted. The
East Tennessee rood declined to ac
cept that construction, because by so
doing they would acknowledge them
selves in the wrong in tbe great acci
dent, and thus become liable for the
$300,000 damage suits now being filed
by tbe friends ot tbe victims. js
Freight trains on tbe E. T. V. A G.
Railroad last Monday night were
blocked at Austell for tbreo miles,
tbo Georgia Pacific officials refusing
to allow them to pass over their line
until their version of things was
taken. For one boor the trains stood
nt bay when a compromise was reach
ed to" the effect that tbe East Tennes
see would adopt tbe Georgia Pacific
construction of the rbles *o far as tbe
future was concerned, but that the
sast should be left to tbe conrts.
When this agreement bud been duly
signed tbe three miles of East Ten
nessee trains pulled out for their des
tination.

“Well nittdnni,’’ said a fashionable
physician to a wealthy Indy patient,
“if you <iont like my prescriptions,
perhaps yon hud better try Parker’s
Tonic, or some other quack stuff.”
“You don’t mean it Doctor,” she an
swered, “bnt your advice may bo good
for all tbnt. Sometimes what you call
‘quack stnfP is the bent nnd most
scientific medicine, after all,” She got
n bottle of Parker’s Tonic and it cured
her of neuralgia nrisiug from disorder
ed stomach and nerves. She told her
friends, nud now they all keep n doc
tor at home in the form of Parker’s
Tonic. *
