WITH TRUE PRIDE WE POINT TO IT. ' ‘ /, Brunswick’s Hotel,built in Bruns wick, for Brunswick and by Brunswick. A Cunning Sketch of the House and Appoint* merits—Furniture, Decorations, Etc. Monday morning the Oglethorpe threw its doors open to the puhlic, and that night the citizens of the town were invited to visit and in spect the building and all its ap pointment. This invitation was eagerly accepted, for around that • noble pile of lr ick and mort ar cen tra an inte-cst that is not of the most idle sort. That interest comes from a two-fold reason—first, because we see supplied a need that has been long and deeply felt, and for which we have sighed and pined and even prayed—a winter hotel for tourists —and, second, because it is Bruns wick’s house—Brunswick paid the l ! vst dollar for its erection, display ing her faith by her works, and now she has it, bought anti paid for. But it was a hard pull, and had the souls of the projectors been made of stufT less brave, long ago, during the 1 early days of 1887, would the work have been dropped, afld, even had it ^jne so fa’, a great mass of masonry, unshapely and uncompleted would have remained a monument to what those who rejoice in our disappoint rnent might have termed “Brunswick's Folly.” But different has been the ending, and now with a pleasure that is genuine, we point to “Our House.” and invito the world to come to its hospitable roof, and sec the best and livest town in America. THU RECEPTION. Over five hundred people prom enaded the spacious corridors, eram ined every appartmeut, spied, into every mvstery, and rested in the lux- • uriou»“parlor -of the Oglethorpe.— And a greatly surprised and de lighted gathering it was. They knew that the house was to be' hand somely finished and furnished, and that we should all be proud of it, but i he realization far exceeded their expectations, and n chorus of unqual ifled satisfaction was everywhere heard. Aod well might such bo the case. The main entrance is in tho*exact center of the building, into a rotun da of elegant proportions, floored with marble tiling of alternate tin.s, and from which wide hallways run to the parlor and dining nwm, lo cated at the respective : ight and left ends of ' he building. These hall ways are also ma< ble-floored, and on cither side are, adjoining the parlor, reception and reading rooms, and ad- joing the dining Mill. breakfast rooms, etc. The office occupies an arched alcove from the rotunda, and is also handsomely finished and fur nished. The second and third floors are devoted exclusively tojsieeping apart ments. and in the centre of the ■ ront of the building rises another story, affotding sever?! additional rooms, and even in the towe; s above more available space is found. The be'd- rooms are bu'.lt in almost every in stance in sui s of two for convenience of families, and each alternate r-oom has a fl - e p’ace. THE FLUNlSIllNli Throughout the building <s of the best Oidc ,aml from ce'lar to garret expense has not beei spared. All the carpets and inte-'or decorations are from the house of 31.

Over the entrance to the alcoves at the corners of the room hang hand some Japanese bead portievs and vqlances. The mantels, two in num ber, are elegant and costly, of polish ed bard wood and beveled glass mii- rors. The room is lighted by two superb crystal chandeliers, with in numerable prismatic pendents, snd globes whoso delicate etchings a;e marvels of beauty. The carpets throughout the sec ond floor are also handsome moquets, and those on the third floor are of Brussels. The curtains and other decorations on these floors are of the same order as those of the parlor, though of course less expensive. The furniture matches the ma'vels and finish of each room, no two rooms in the house being finish ed or furnished alike. The halls and stairways arc not yet ca.pc-ed, will soon be finished to correspond with the respective floors. The stairs will a’l be of moque s, tlic main stair being covered wi h an elegant red, wit h heavy brass plates. The entire carpeting, curtaining and inside dec- 0.- ati lg, as above stated, is from 31 r. Rich <fe Bro. of Atlanta, and is the work of their representative. Mr. Ciaft, who has proven himself an artis indeed. THE BlNiNG HALL, At-Iho northern end of the building, is almost a counterpart in size with the parlor, and is floored in wood and marble with a seat ing capacity of more than two hundred guests.

The building is supplied with wa ter from an artesian well, which is pumped by Socam into a huge reser voir irom which it is dislrioutcd through the building. Tho most complete fire precautions have boon made and hydrants, hose, audala".ns on every floor make it possible to light firo with promptness. The building is now lighted by grs, but it is intended to soon supercede this by electricity, arrangements for which have already been made. The elevators will be operated by water. And now, what more can we say ? To adequately describe is impossible, and with these few hints as to the interior, we piesent an engraving of the exterior, and add thcinjunc ion to all Brunswick’s friends, well wishers, acquaintances and encores, ns well as the world nt large to come and see the house that, we have built, and the prettiest and most prosper ous town that . he aun ever shown upon—“Brunswick, the Cur nr tiie Sea.” COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

Cotton Coming. Albany News: Messrs. Greenfield & Brown sold on yesterday, to Mr. C. Wcssolowsky, the well known cot ton broker ot' this city, 2,000 bales of cotton for export to Barcelona, Spain, delivered at destination via Bruns wick. This is the Inrgcst cotton transaction that was ever effected in this city, involving the outlay of nearly $100,000. The above begins to look like bus iness. Our port is assuming her proper proportions day by day. One hundred thousand bales should go through here next season without fail. It seems strange though to read about such transactions as the above, for but. .a few years back the B.

Did you ever stop over nt Jesup to change trains during tho night?— If so you must have wondered as wc did last night, why two such roads as the S. F. <k W. and the E. T.

It came in one solid train of fourteen ca-s, each du ly labeled and with flags flying, all the way to Brunswick, making rapid time—every road it passed over gave it special dispatch by hooking on an engine and sending it a'ong. This train load reached the city last even ing, over the E. T. V. & G. railroad. Wc saw the draft that was d ■ awn for their acceptance—a pretty piece of paper indeed, marked $6,700. And after Mr. Ullman wrote across it, “Accepted, Jan. 12, 1888, Slayer & Ullman.” was not only a pretty, but a valuable piece of paper.
