The Oglethorpe is open and the next thing is to fill it. This, how ever, will not he difficult in our opin ion. Manager Dart is raising the .rack of the sf reet railroad in font of the new hotel to conform to the grade of the street. Mr. Frank Dunn reached the city this week, and has the honor lo be the first name on the regia ry of the new Hotel. • Thomasville is full to overflowing of Northern tourists. The S. F. k W. R. R. had to run a special on last Sunday to carry passengers from Sa vannah to Thomasville. The body of a man, supposed to be one of the negroes drowned Christ mas day, was Crashed ashore this week neat St. Simons Mills. The Coroner was at once notified. A lumber merchant from the Me tropoiis told us yesterday that he had been all over Brunswick nnd was free to confess that she was without doubt the finest location for a large city' lie had see 1 anywhere. “What! 1 scratched up already?” said a batchclor to his newly mar ried chum, whom lie met on the street this week, and on whose face he saw scratches. The benedict blushed and the editor made this dot in his book. Mr. II. C. Curry, of Bainhridgc, is now installed at the Co-Operative Store of this city, lie vomes 'ous not only well known to the writer, blit bearing the highest testimonials from those with whom lie has had dealing. • The new 17,000 pound safe for the Oglethorpe Bank is still waiting for a con", racior to move it from the ware house to the bank. One trade , ^ was made, but the contractor found ho had bid too low, nnd throw up the job. Mr. G. J. Lunn deserves thanks for his kindness in playing for the Me morial entertainments without charge or any remuneration whatever,'ns did also the Atlantic Band. Mr. Lunn has also offered to play for the ma,i nee on Saturday. At Darien a committee lias been appointed by Live Oak Lodge to con sider the advisability of getting up. at an early day, u big Masonic fair in Darien.

Ex-Treasurer J. F. Nelson w-as “caned” last evening at the residence of Mayor Dunn by the Mayor and Alderman of 1887. The cane is of ebony—gold headed, aud bears tills inscription: “Presented to Jas. F. Nelson by the Mayor and Council of the city of Brunswick.” The invitation extended by the Brunswick delegation to the Passen ger Agents’ Convention now in ses sion at Jacksonville was unanimous ly accepted, and they will visit Brunswick in a body on their return, reaching here on Sunday next by the City of Brunswick. A par>y of the Joky- Island Club will be down soon, nnd then the Club House will have a formal opening. The yachts too will soon begin 'o put in i heir appearance and things will Dexter informs us that the Waycross well is about 450 fee! deep, the rock at the bottom being of a lime stone fo 'mation similar to the strata found in Savanuab just before getting wa- te . A pleasant feature of the opening break/ast at the Oglethorpe was music by the Brunswick Orchestra of which Mr. McDuffie has the honor lo lie the leader. The musicians were concealed from view, and as the guests were seated, and dlscussin the delicacies of the season, the door was slightly opened, and upon the air floated the sweelj^jt strains ofthe orchestra. The effect was magical and enthusiastic applause greeted the effort. I lit * 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 rails on the B. k W. R. R. “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 pied the first of the program, the 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 as such his votes on all.o 1 (finances, Mitcheirs!

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 IIo! el. and these are the words, "nullpi ij giand," Said he, “When I get a leismo I shall write up Bruns wick and this hotel, and not only so but I nin going right back home and send luy fatn'ly back here to spend !lie winter.” Andfiiends, would yon believe it, lie i.-n"t going to cha.gc the city of B, u.i .wiek nor her citi zens one cent .or it! 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. Didn't do It. A report is in circulation to the effect that during the fire the other night on board the Angie and Nellie the officers of the steamer Inca cut h^r adrift. C’apt. Tupper wishes us to say that such is not the ease. One of the ropes of the steamer was cut, hut that if was done on the wharf by someone else; that if either himself or the engiueer had been on look lively down ikero.

In much pleased, although lie appeared before the curtain and p: omised bet ter success and more pleasing effects 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.
