Stop that shooting in the woods

The pilot boat Kate has been made

“Decorated” whiskey is what a

Last spring the city made arrange

Judge A. J. Crovatt is eloquent in

He will probably follow neighbor Bur

It is well enough to say thirteen

teen years more.
The dining parlors of Messrs. Wal

next morning gathering in more good
things and getting ready for another
rush.
We would remind our readers

hands out to work, and the cvenin
car in time to bring them back to
the city. We have not been furnish

will be a big convenience for all
hands concerned.
The Prettiest (Jirl in Georgia.
The Macon Telegraph says that
the prettiest girl in Georgia will be
at the State Fair. Wo immediately
sent a Recorder man to interview ber
at her home in this city, and she says
the information is premature—she
hasn’t really decided whether to go
or not. She has an invitation from
the handsomest man in Georgia to at
tend with him, audit may be that
together they will take in all the
fairs anil expositions.—Americas Re
corder.
The Recorder man is usually pret
ty level-headed, but this is one time
lie is wrong. The prettiest girl in
Georgia will ride to the State Fair
on a ticket reading “Brunswick to
Macon and return.” The fair crea
ture under discussion has lived in
Brunswick ever since her school days,
and is now the sweetest flower that
ever budded on any soil. The Re
corder’s presumption in putting any
Sumter county girl ahead of the
transcendent sea coas t beauty is as ■
tounding.
Steamship Notes.
Hie steamship Caroline Miller
sailed on Thursday for New York
with 1,575 bales cotton, and 70 bar
rcls rosin.
The steamship State of Texas, of
the Mallory Line, left ut thcself same
hour for New York, but via Fort
Royal, carrying 1,(154 bales cotton,
800 bundles shingles and 28 pack
ages merchandise.
The latter ship is the swifter of
the two, but having to make a stop
at Fort Royal, the question is, who
which will reach New York first.
The Ross-Shirc and Caroline Miller
are both loading with cotton at Lit
tlefield «k Tison’s dock.
The Minneola and tbc Caledonia
are loading with cotton at the upper
docks.
There are five steamships now in
port, and four others “up for this
port.’
All of these will carry cotton, and
so will others yet to come. One hun
dred thousand bales is our estimate
for this season. Others think we
will ship two hundred thousand.
Not Yet.
Some uneasy people are calling for
a cessation of a quarantine, thinking
gang. The tone is the same, but the
result is different- His Honor dis
posed of a large number of cases.
Whilst present we picked up the fol
lowing
court dots:
Judge—Fetcr Cooper, you are
charged with larceny—guilty or not
guilty ?
Peter—Guilty Mr. Jcdge, an’ I
trows de mercy on de court—make
cm as light as ycr kin.”
The Judge took “de mercy” thus
bestowed, and in view of Peter’s
crime—stealing a barrel of flour out
of Lott's store in open day time, and
trucking it down the street to his
home—gave Peter six months on the
chain gang with privilege of $50 and
costs instead.
Otto Martine, a white man, had
stolen some clothing from his em
ployer, tailor Isaacs, and was up be
fore His Honor. lie plead guilty,
and being a white man the Judge
first thought of giving him eight
months or $00 and costs, but finally
let him oil' the same as his colored
brother, inasmuch as he way a for
eigner and not well posted in our
ways.
Ilenty (’ohen was told to stand up
and say what ho had to say about his
guilt or innocence in stealing a pair
of pants from 31 r. Willie Miller in
Hancock’s bakery. Of course he was
guilty, for he was caught with the
pants on (put there by mistake, he
said). lie plead guilty, and shared
the same fate as the others.
Gen. Flukcr, the big eater, was
next called up. He is the man who
ate twenty loaves of bread, four
pounds of raw baeon and three pints
of syrup and quarreled because be
was stopped from eating more. As
the gaunt giant stood tip before the
court, Judge Symmcs arose aud beg
ged His Honor that he make spcciul
allowance for the feed of Flukcr if
he should be convicted, for Sheriff
Berrie could not possibly feed him on
forty cents per day, the amount al
lowed by law. The General was not
ready for trial, so his case was post
poned.
Two Squirrels and a Thumb.
Most men think they arc doin
good shooting to kill a single squir
rel, but Cumberland island has a
colored man, Richard Gina by name,
who killed, two squirrels and his
thumb at one shot—and so excited
was he over the former that he did
not discover his wound until lie
had picked up the squirrels. Feeling
a strange sensation in his arm, he
looked down, and found that the end
of his thumb was gone. The breech
of his gun hud blown out, and taken
off his thumb. He was brought to
the city Tuesday night and the thumb
amputated by Dr. A. C. Blain, as
sisted by Drs. liurford and Botsford.

tage ground gained by allowing even

than the gain would be. Don’t lift
the quarantine yet. No, not yet.
On a Frolic.
The windgoton a frolic^ Wednesday
night and shook up things. Among
otherthings it drove the ship Concha
Ballister high up on Blythe beach.
This craft seems in ill luck, the Board
of Health kept her out for a long
time, nnd now the storm has driven
her ashore. It will take a good tide

Advertise Your Town.
Inquiries continue to come in from
day to-day for more information con
cerning the city of Brunswick and
Glynn county.^ Only yesterday a
gentleman here got two letters, one
from this State, and the other from
Kansas, asking for information con
cerning our place and section.
Our immunity from yellow fever
this season has given new impetus
to our importance abroad, and others
still, who wish to eome South, will
turn their attention this way, and
want information, we have nothing
printed to show them.
In view of these facts the Adver
tiser-Appeal has concluded to get
lip a Trade Issue or Paper that will
meet the emergency—something that
our people will take pride in sending
abroad. Our past work in this line is
sufficient guarantee that this office
is equal to the emergency.
Articles from good writers will be
written up, nnd the whole will be em-
belished by suitable cuts of places of
interest. That is, provided we meet
with that encouragement necessary.
What say the City Council and the
I
people ?
Hens That Lay All the Year.
We listened a few days ago with
interest to a conversation between
31 r. A. V. Wood, the proprietor of
our poultry farm, and Mr. John C.
Green, city inspector, on the subject
of laying lions. The former gentle
man laid down the proposition that
there were no breeds of liens that
would lay all the year. The latter
gentleman claimed that whilst that
was true in the main, the rule was
uot absolute, for be bad some that
were grand exceptions to the rule.
Later on we met 31 r. Green, and
and asked for further information.
Said he:
“The pure Leghorn will not lay the
year round, but mine are a cross be
tween the Leghorn and tho Black
Cochin and the Leghorn nnd White
Cochin, and are the best laj-ers in the
world. Jly hens lay all the time—
from one year’s end to another.”
“What do you feed on?” wo asked.
“Oats,” said he. “Rough rice is
excellent, but enu’t compare with
oats, at least, such is my experience.
I have eight liens in one lot that give
me an average of live eggs a day,
each hen skipping a day occasional
ly. Eight <.f these >-. gs will weigh a
pound.”
We would advise our readers who
are interested in hen mlituc to try
the above cross, accompanying same
with the oat feed.
The Boys’Branch.
The regular quarterly meeting of
the Boys’ Branch of the Y, M. C. A.
was held Tuesday evening, and the
officers for the ensuing quarter were
elected:
President, Cleon E. Baker.
1st. Vice President, Ed. Lambright.
2nd. Vice Prest, Newton Gillican. ,
Treasurer, Eustace Butts. s
Secretary, Jennings vV. Butts.
The Boys’ Branch has a member
ship of about twenty-five.
The gymnasium is open to them
every Tuesday, Thursday and Satur
day evening from 4 to 7 o’clock, and
quite a number of them avail them
selves of privilege of exercising their
muscles and expanding their con
tracted chests. Every boy in town
needs more or less of this exercise to
bring out his dormant powers, and
especially during the school term,
when he is kept in a sitting position
for six or eight hours every day.
They have also a Gospel Sleeting
every Sunday at 2:30 p. in., lasting
but thirty minutes. Each takes turn
in leading, and quite an interest is .
manifested in these meetings.
They have good singing and good
music as two among their number
can play the organ well.
Parents should encourage their
boys to take advantage of all of these
privileges for few boys in towns of 1
this size linvc the advantage of such
institutions.
Less Sickness at Home.
It has been estimated that durii
the past two months about one-tenih
of our people have been absent from
the city, most of them in the moun
tains. It has further been estimated
that there has been more sickness
among those who went away than
among those who stayed at home.—
In other winds, counting the white
people ohly, fi.r they nro the ones who
go away, there has been as much
sickness among the one-fifth who
went away as the four-fifths who re
mained. This speaks well for our
city for what is considered the un-
hcaltkicst two months of the year.—
Where U.thecity on.this greeu earth"
that can say more than this on the
item of health.
Wlint Pluck Has Done.
The city of Americas is now cn
joying the fruits of her labors. For
years she has been shut in by the
Central Railroad, her trade crippled,
and her competitors given the ad
vantage. By pluck and energy she
has built with her own money the A.
P. & L. R. R. and its line of steamers
to Brunswick, Darien and Savannah,
and she can now snap her fingers in
the face of the Central, send her cot
ton either to Savannah or Bruns
wick, and get her freights through
or from either city. This is the sort
of pluck that wins, and the town or
city that emulates the example of
Amcricus is bound to win. If she
would continue to prosper, she should
see to it that some bloated syndicate
doesn't steal that line.
A Beauty.
The Abbeville Times says the new
boat of the A. P. & L. line of steam
ers the Maggie Belle, is a beauty.
It is the largest and finest boat on
the Ocomulgee, and will carry 84
passengers. Why don't the A. P.
db I., nutborites get up an excursion
on it to go down to Savannah or
German Club Election.
The male members of tbc Bruns
wick German Club met last evening
in the office of Crovatt <fc Whitfield
for the purpose of holding their an-
annual election, which resulted as
follows:
President, A. ,J. Crovatt.
Secretary, Bolling Whitfield.
Treasurer, F. E, Cunningham,
Dixvilliaus Happier.
The citixcus of Dixvillo arc hap
pier to-day than formerly for the
Street Car Company has given them
a twenty minute schedule instead of
a sixty minute one. The Dixvillc
ear now runs every twenty minutes
nnd oonnects with the belt at the
juncture near Cook’s mill, ranking
close connections there. Parties tak
ing tho Union street car have to wait
a short while. Transfer tickets are
furnished those who go from one line
to another. This gives a better sched
ule by far, and at the same cost of
running.
