Mr. Peter Krauss, our well known
baker, came to this country 48 years

commenced milking bread in Bruns
wick, and as he says, been feeding

all these years the standard of his

still makes none but the very best.
Home Sick lind.
Few people can realize fully that
home sick feeling that comes over
a boy when he leaves home for the
first time and goes away to school—
that feeling of utter loneliness and
despair that seizes him when lie re
alizes that there is no ono around
him that has any feeling in common
with his. Here is the way a Bruns
wick boy writes to his mother:
Mv Df.au Mama: I would give my
three lingers just to see your face. I
have been crying all day. I will try
to stay here until Christmas. Oh,
how I want to sec yours and papa’s
face. If I ever get home 1 will never
never come away again. Kiss
and for me, and tell them I will
write soon Your home sick
Sox.
Business Booming.
From Mr. Bascom Myrick, of the
Brunswick Stowage and Export Co.,
we glean some interesting facts about
the operations of his Company at an
early day.
To begin with, this is the Compa
ny that is putting up the big com
press that will so facilitate the strip-
meat of cotton by compressing eabh
bale to one half the present size. .The
difference between cotton compressed
this way and the old way, is not that
the bale'is made any smaller at the
start, but is simply held where the
aimpress mashes it. By the old way
the hales expand double'the size the
compress leaves them. The new pro
cess simply holds it there by means
of galvanized rivets, so to speak.
Mr. Myrick informs us that there
arc received daily by the company
here inquiries about the time of be
ginning work. Cotton, steamship,
railroad and compress men will be
here from all over the country to wit
ness its workings. If this does all
that is claimed it will revolutionize
the whole cotton shipping business
of the country, hence the great in
terest manifested. This Company
will put on steamers to a number of
foreign ports, Liverpool, London,
Havre, Barcelona and others, and
thus a new impetus will be given to
cotton shipments from this port nev-'
er before known.
Changes iu the Board of Health.
At the beginning of the recent fe
ver troubles in Florida the Board of
Health requested the City Council to
act with them as a joint Board and
such has been their action heretofore.
The question of legality having been
sprung, the Council at its meeting
on Tuesday withdrew from the
joint Board and left the Board of
Health proper to conduct its own af
fairs. This action was thought nec
essary in view of certain monetary
interests that might become involv
ed. All former actions of the Joint
Board have been approved by Coun
cil proper hence there can be no ques
tion as to the legulity. Dr. Schlat
ter having resigned and Col. Bost-
wick having suggested that it might
be illegal foy him tositonsaid Board,
being a member of Council, .Messrs.
Nick Dixon and Burr Winton were
elected in their place. The Board

A True Saying.
The old adage that “an idle brain
is the Devil’s workshop,” Charley
Clark, the lim ber, thinks has been
verified in his ease.
A week ago lie laid by bis razor
and scissors and thought lie would
take two weeks off and have a good
time.
First he vent fishing, caught a cat
(isli and stuck his fin in ids foot.
Next lie went to chopping careless
ly with a hatchet and stuck it in hie
knee.
He next monkeyed with a saw and
sawed his linger open.
In his despair lie seized his gua
and put oil' for a hunt, and the first
shot he made the gun kicked his fin
ger nil askew.
His wife now advises him to go to
work and not take the other weclj

EAST TENNESSEE BOCKS.
New
Wharf, New Warehouse
and Cotton Compress.
Those of our readers who have
never visited the “New Docks” of the
E. T., V. & G. R. R. can form but a
poor idea of whut they are, and of
the amount of business that is done
thereoh.
We visited the docks Saturday af
ternoon, to’see for ourselves and tell
our readers what was going on there.
We found two vessels at the wharf
loading with uavnl stores, and the
yard and wharf filled with lumber,
loaded cars, and naval stores, the
warehouses filled with spirits of tur
pentine, and one filled with salt, a
large force of hands and seven pile
drivers at work on the new wharf,
and in fact, a very busy scene.
Some faint idea of the amount of
business done over these wharves
can bo obtained from the amount of
goods now at the dock. Capt. Hall,
who is in charge of the docks, informs
us that he has now in one warehouse
about 25,000 sacks of salt to he for
warded to points all over the State,
and in the warehouses and on the
yard about 1.000 barrels of spirits of
turpentine, and about 10,000 barrels
of rosin, awaiting shipment, and now
being loaded, and this is the dullest
season of the year.
•rnu SEW WHARF
Now being constructed will be 700
feet long, and fifty feet wide, extend
ing south from the six hundred feet
of wharf already built. To the east
of this new wharf, will be located the
new warehouse, for storing cotton,
three hundred feet long, and one
hundred feet wide. South of this
will be located
THE COMPRESS,
Most of the material for which is
now in the yard, loaded on cars. One
piece of the machinery, the one which
descends upon and presses the cot
ton, is a carload iu itself, weighing
twenty’ fojr tons. Of course to sup
port such innchincay as tins, it will
require a very solid foundation, and
this is the way it will lie made:
Heavy piling have been driven
down in the mud close together, over
a space large enough to support the
press, around this is driven a solid
wall of piling. Inside this wall the
mild is now being taken out, to the
depth of leu feet. The piling will be
sawed oil'ten feet below the surface,
at the bottom of this hole, they will
tbes be “capped” with heavy tim
bers, and upon this capping a floor
will lie laid of six inch timbers,
which will then lie caulked, making
a water tight floor, upon which will
be built up a solid foundation of
brick, water tight, and upon this the
press will be erected. By this means
the wood work will all be in the mud,
which will preserve it from the rav
ages of the salt water insects, and
consequently it will last many years.
Now, what does this mean? It
means that slowly, but surely, and
one by one Brunswick is getting the
things that are necessary to make
her a large city, and the great ship
ping port for the South, Southwest,
and West, the position to which she
is entitled by virtue of her unequal-
ed natural advantages for being such
a port. Even now we look into the
future and seethe time when from
these new docks to Plantation creek
will be a solid line of wharves and
docks, and a continuous row of ves
sels loading with all the products of
our vast country for the ports of the
world, when the streets of “Day-
town,” now merely openings cut
through the forest, shall resound
with the noise and bustle of travel
and traffic, and when Brunswick
shall have reached the position
above referred to. From the new
1 in the ex
Fetches the
ill
ing oaks, with a background of wav
ing pines; to the west lie Colonel’s
Island, Naval City (that is to be)
and Fancy Bluff, to the South lie the
two branches of Oglethorpe Bay,
grand sheets of water, enough to float
the commerce of the world, while to
the southeast is seen beautiful Bruns
wick, which, with her Oglethorpe
Hotel and other large buildings, the
water towers and the shipping at the
docksall clearly outlined against the
back ground of dark green trees,
makes a picture beautiful in itself.
We cannot close this article with
out a tribute to
CAPT. G. J. HALL.
This worthy gentleman came into
our midst about eleven years ago,
and soon secured a position with the
E. T. V. & G. R. R. (it was the M. <fc
B. then,) as watchman. Throughout
all its various changes, he has re
mained with the company, a faithful
servant, and by his constant atten
tion to duty, has gradually’ worked
himself up, until he reached his pres
ent position in charge ot the busi
ness of these new docks, where he
has continually under his charge
thousand of dollars worth of proper
ty. But the Company will soon lose
his valuable services. .
Captain Hall has recently had the
good fortune to come into possession
of a large amount of property in Eng
land, aud he will leave here about
the first of October for England,
where lie will hereafter make his
home, and has tendered his resigna
tion to the Company, taking effect on
the first of October. The Captain
says the Company lias been very
kind to him, and lie intends to stay
with them up to the la3t day.
B. & W. Dots.
During a visit to the company’s
shops this morning, we gathered a
few dots of interest.
The new pusher, one of the most
approved and powerful engines made,
has arrived and is being put in trim
for work. It has six driving wheels
and can pull one hundred cars at a
time, being built for power and not
speed. It has two headlights, and
travels backward as well as forward.
This makes the seventh new engine
received. The eighth got in a smash
up coining down, and had to go back
for repairs.
Eight more engines are ordered to
he delivered in December. When
all are received and added to the
present equipment, there will lie some
twenty-five in all, aiM when the re
quisite number of ears now ordered
are received, the Brunswick & Wes
tern will be in condition lo haul alt
the freights that can possibly be of
fered.
New passenger cars too, have been
ordered, and ere long be who rides
on the on the B. & W. will recognize
the fact that the great Plant System
has Brunswick and Albany on its
list.
Another construction train went
out on the road Monday morning
under the direction of Mr. Fred Wig
gins. So now there are three of these
trains at work. Let the good work
continue.
The hoys are looking forward to
the time when the general office will
be removed back to t lie city, which
will be as soon as the office is repair
ed and put in order for their recep
tion.
The Satilla Bice Crop.
Capt. Clubb, of the steamer Crack
er Boy, informs us that there is quite
a freshet now in the.Satilla. The
weather, he fears, will continue as
now until the full moon, and if the
moon he in perigee at that juncture
he is afraid the rice crop of the Sa
tilla river will be lost. Mr. J. K. Be
dell has saved nearly all of his, but
others are not so fortunate.. We rec
ognize the fact that the Captain is a
nowned weather prophet and a
|lose observer, but ive bo[ie his fears
ay prove groundless.

She had her ’Stiflcate.
Our readers will remember the col
ored man who had been to Jackson
ville and undertook to come buck to
Brunswick by way of the Satilla. He
told a very pretty story about Ins
baving gone up the Satilla to visit
his mother-in-law. A letter, however,
written by his wife had gotten here
ahead of him and gave him away. He
is now working out his sentence of
twenty-five days. His wife fearing
a similar fate served out her time
over in Camden, and on Tuesday
last reached the city by the Cracker
Boy.
When she got aboard the steamer
she told the other passengers of .her
husband’s fate, but said, “Dey won’t
’rest me knsc I dun serve out my
currcnteeu, fifteen days, ami I got a
’stifUeate in my pocket, slio.”
Accidentally Shot.
A colored man on St. Simons acci
dentally shot another negro man
on last Tuesday afternoon. He
was in the act of firing at a beef, when
he missed his aim, ami put the load
into the abdomen of a negro helper.
The wounded mau died on Thursday
