* Steel Bails.
Some time since we intimated that
in a few days the steel rails would
begin to lie laid on the B. & W. R.
R. A days since the writer
was at Waycross and saw the first
train load of steel rails for the B.
W. roll in. They are fifty-six pouu
rails and good. Manager Gaddis in
forms us that they were distributed
along the line, and five more carloads
have since been received. Tbecompa-
ny will lay same as fast as they can
be put down. These trains will be
followed up daily by the others until
every foot of road from Wayeros to
Albany will be laid, when the same
process will begin he'ween Waycross
and Brunswick. Twenty miles of
the road west of Waycross is now
laid with steel. This wilPleavc some
ninety miles to be put in there, and
afterwards the sixty between here
and Waycross, Manager Gaddis says
that wo may safely say to the people
that the time is not far ahead now
when a ■ rain can be run with safety
over his ‘■•oad at the rate of fifty
miles per hour. Hurrah for steel

“How the Fairies Spend Christ
mas.”
Any doubt that pi ay have existed
on the above subject was set at rest
Tuesday night,for our people had ocu
lar demonstration, and were permit
ted to peep into the enchanted realms
where these mysterious beings dwell.
The entertainment was a success—
a big success—and reflected credit
upon the originators, projectors, man
agers and performers—thconly cause
for regret being that the house was
not packed.
Mr. Dauvergne’s statuary, oceu

curtain rising upon a lovely child
clinging to the “Rock of Ages,” while
a sweet voice behind the scenes sang
the grand old hymn from which the
scene gets its name. “The Shepherd
Boy” and “Sowing the Seed,” wee
then produced, followed by “Dream
ing of Home and Mother,” showing
a little child asleep, ns white and
p.ure and sweet as childhood itself,
while an opening “fly” discovered th^
angel mother hovering over the sleep
er. The fifth scene was a group of five
in different positions. All of those
were lovely, the snowy whiteness of
the “statuary” showing in bolu relief
against the black bac'.gro.’nd, a ri
Mr. Dauvcrgne has reason to be
proud of his efforts. He iscc:tain-
Mr. Bragg'ns as an Alderman.
The question has been raised as to
the eligibility of Mr. Ed 'Braggins to
hold the office of Alderman of the city
of Brunswick, to which he was
elected, on the grounds of his not be-
i"g a citizen of the United States,
and City Attorney Whitfield was in
structed to prepare an opinion on the
subject anil present same to Coun
cil to-night. We called on I he legal
gentleman this week, and from
him learned that an examination
to the facts and the law W’ll not
tify him in pronouncing Mr. B. acom-
petont Alderman.
Soon after coming to this county
Mr. Braggins filled a declaration of
intention to become a citizen, which,
by law, must <rest a certain period
before naturalization papers can be
obtained. That period has elapsed,
and the gentleman has taken nrt fur
ther action, supposing himself a bo
na-fide and loyal Citizen of this great
country, which, however, cannot be
regarded as the case. In accordance
with these facts, Mr. Whitfield's de
cision will be to the effect
that he cannot hold his office. In
regard to his official actions already
takeu, Mr. Whitfield tolls us that
he has been a tie far o Alderman—
that is. in fact, hut not by law—and

“Simply Grand."
Among the excursionists that
have registered at the new Ogle
thorpe, was a friend of our towns
man, P. S. Morris, and a .raveling
correspondent of the LouisviUe Cou
rier-Journal, one of the greatest pa
pers in the South. After looking
over i he situation fully, he said lo
Mr. Moiris: “There are but two
words in our language that expresses
our ideas ofthe sur'oundings ofthe

"nullpi ij giand," Said he, “When I

That Chicken Thiol'.
A chicken thief has been “doing
the town” for some nights past. He
sold his last sicalage to M . C. L.
Parker, anil thus lost his liberty, for
the officers of the law were on his
track and caught him Monday
morning, and brought him down to
Miclielson's store. At tiiis point ho
thought he would change his base
so suddenly left the officer and dart
ed oil'for liberty. The officer finding
himself about to be out-stripped,
pressed a horse into sei vice and after
considerable hack’ng and filling cap
to red him under Mr. J. E. Dart's res
idence aud locked up hisdarkeyship.

to-night.
The curtain next rose in the open
ing scene of the fairy operetta. Lit
tie Miss Cat ric Smith, as Elsie, the
lost child, wanders th -otigh the wood
and sweetly sings, "I Wonder where
the Fairies Dwell,” (then little Miss
Willie Belle Jeter, the fairy Rosebud,
meets her and answers her question
in song. Elsie’s companions appear,
the fly is opened, and in the fairy
grotto these enchanted creatures arc
seen disporting tliem&clves in inno
cent glee.^ind to join them the eliil-
are invited.
Miss Etta Hirsehfield, the fairy
queen, with voice and grnce of a very
sprite, now enters, attended by her
tiny maids of honor, .Misses Rosalie
Borchardt and Liilie Kellar, mounts
her ’ throne, is welcomed by
her loyal courtiers, and noting the
bewildered humans among her
subjeefs asks in song: “How came
yon groups of children in on • Fairy
Grotto, pray.” Her question is an
swered and Her Enchanted Majesty
hastens to tender them the love and
affection of he 1 self and subjects;
when little Charlie Fleming, the
“Messenger from Elf l.nnd,’’ comes
“fifty million miles” to bring Christ
inas greetings from his sovereign to
the Queen of the F airies. (ilia’ lie sings
with a voice so sweet and clear as
to be the envy of any Miss. A dance
closes the act, and the curtain falls.
The second act is opened by Miss
Anna Safford. who recites to the
children and the audience the story
of how the fairies live and the good
they do, lighting with her
wand the mysterious fire that (lashes
apparently without cause, and lights
the magic wirier in which can be
seen the fairies at their play.
In the third act, the Christmas day
is brought to a close and the chil-
dien and the fairies dance to sweet
music, in the midst of which they
form the figures ‘1838,” closing with
the song by Miss Edna Flanders,
“And Now, Kind Friends, Our Play
is Through.”
The performance was highly pleas
ing and reflected credit upon, every
one concerned, and was especially in
teresting, frooi the fact that it was
coti cly original with o#e of our
citizens, Prof. R. E. Steele. who com
posed both words and music in their
entirety for this occasion.
The Queen’s solo of local signifi-
sliort, then, the ciiy is not called
upon to reconsider any of her actions
unless forced by legal process. Mr.
Braggins. however, can no longer
hold the office, a fact to be regretted
from, the fact that lie received a
very .flattering vote, and gave every
indication of making an efficient A1
derman.
