In conversation yesterday with a gentleman of wealth, stopping at the Oglethorpe. Said he: “Mr. Editor, you have gotten an elegant hotel, a beautiful town, splendid drives, file.!, everything that goes to make Brunswick superior to Florida, as a winter resort, but you fail to have one tiling that you need, and that is bi tter connections at Jesup. The idea of taking a passenger out of a vestibule or other elegant train at Jesup and compeling him to’stand around there for three hours is out of all reason, nud will not be submit ted to by men of means who are seek ing comfort and pleasure. Your Board of Trade should take hold of this matter and push it vigorously and keep on pushing until better ac commodations and closer connections arc hail at Jesup.” We could blit feel the force of the gentleman’s re marks. Why the traveling public should he thus nfllicted, and Bruns wick lie made to sulli-r, is a matter we cannot iind-i-staad. Vigorous action on the part of the Brumswick Board of Trade would accomplish the end sought. Another Need fo he Supplied. Ever and anon the Advkrtisek- Aite.w, has pointed out paying in vestments to our people, and in many instances soon had tiic pleasure of seeing some good men putting their money into sueli investments. We are glad to kmnv that another of our suggestions is about to take shape.— We refer to a steam laundry. Mr. B. B. Gray and Capt. Osborne are haul- lumber to-day for a steam laun dry, to he located near the back land ing. They will also erect two cot tages. If there be any one small in dustry needed here more than anoth er, it is a steam laundry. There is money in it if properly run, and we trust these gentlemen will find it.— And there are dozens of other things requiring small capital to inaugurate but which will pay big dividends, and at the same time help to build up tho town by giving employment to la bor. “Hurrah for the Darien Short Line.” A private letter from Mr. R. W. Grubb of Darien, has for its 'post script, “Hurrah for the Darien Short Line.” And as we read it our sym pathetic heart joined, in the refrain, and we too said “Hurrah for the Da rien Short Line,” for Brunswick re joices with her sister city in the pros pects of the completion of h*er rail road, for our latest information, from those who know, is that President Walker has gotten all the money nec essary for the completion and equip ment of the line. The city of Darien, the day the first train runs through to the S. F. <fc W. R. R. should place a wreath of immortelles on the brow of her noble, self-sacrificing son, R. K. Walker, who first conceived, and is now executing a scheme that will clear away the clouds that have ovcr-shadqjyed her and shut her in, and has given her a quick transit to tlie great lines of travel and com merce, and that too, in the very face of obstacles that would make weaker hearts grow faint and tremble.

Company, Atlanta, Ga: My blood had been impure for a number of yearj, I broke out in ugly sores over my head and body.

How is This! Some of our fishermen have asked our aid iu suppressing what they term a deleterious practice—that of allowing the refuse or coal tar from the gas works to flow into the river. They say that the iisli have all dis appeared from that part of the river, and that this matter is doing harm. If the things complained of are true, and we believe they are, would it not be well for our authorities to look in to the matter at once.
