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 past, returned to the city last week to ^pend the holidays. The public schools of the city will open again on Monday, January 4, ISSfi. Take notice, parents, and have * your children ou band the first day. Mr. G. B. Hack and family were in the city Wednesday last getting ready for Christmas. Miss Lilia re mained in (lie city, and is a guest of Mis. Littlefield. Messrs. Mayer & Glauber’s new offices in the new building are an or nament to any house. Mr. C. G. Moore gave them a nice job. The offices arc fitted up in yellow pine, oileil and varnished. “Thirteen days from the Mount W V. rnoii, Indiana, Mills, per schooner Tflatiie Dulling,” is the heading of an Hiivei'tisemenr in the Nassau Oinii- dian, I" Mr. F.

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. CAMDEN COUNTY DOTS. John Ward bolds oat at Mount A Merry Uhrl-tma*. 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 ing : “Ou earth peace, good will toward men." Our f'hrlxmu*. 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. IHurrled. Shelley Wood.—On the evening of the 24>h at St. Marks chinch, hy Rev. 11. E Lucas, Mr. J. P. Shelley and Miss Florence Wmel, all of this city.

Dr. Atkinson will make his regular trip Saturday. Dr. Shielfs is up looking after the aiok, and enjoying bimself. F. M. Scarlett will remain ii of Col. Owens' store another year. Harrison & Br'o. keeps things mov ing around tbeir store, and are mak ing money. J. F. King ia busy shipping rice and making preparation for another year’s crop. Tbe Methodists are all happy to have Rev. Mr. Beokly back for an other year. Tom Keany still has charge of tbe store at Turboro, and as nsnal always 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. Bedell,at Owens Ferry. He is repair ing his wharf and getting ready for a big business next year. F. Birnbaum, the proprietor of the fancy paintod store, keeps three horses, r: two buggies and a wagon and is doing a nice business. All the rice planters have nearly finished threshing, nnd just begin to realize how much they havo saved 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 on this side of tho river, nnd they ex 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. Ill* Lot* wu* Her Daln. “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. * A Valuable Medical Mrcutlne.
