Twelve months ago The County Court. Judge A. J. Crovatt opened court on Thursday ami forthwith proceed ed to “do up" evil doers. As we sat and listened to his mild words to each offender, we naturally thought “can this be the terrors of the law” that we read about? But the scene suddenly changes when he announces to some poor wretch that the law de mands that he serve his country lor The City Council has just pur chased forty chairs tor the use of the the spot on which the building will Council Chamber and also for the 8talul waB a bjg eye . Bore> j n a f ew fireman’s Hall. The Oglethorpe Hotel will ho open ed this winter about the 20th of De cember, and will he under the man agement of Mr. J. H. King. Capt. Zimmerman, of the sloop Gull, arrived in port this week from the old Stafford place, on Cum berland, with a cargo of nice melons. A strange sight at this season. Stop that shooting in the woods near the end of the Gloucester street Boulevard. Too many ladies, chil dren and nurses take attcriioon strolls in that locality to allow it any longer. The pilot boat Kate has been made over brand new, so to speak- She is one of the finest crafts that sails these waters, and has proven one of the best investments -for her owners. “Decorated” whiskey is what a darkey, this morning, called the stuff that is warranted to turn a peaceable man into a savage. The decorations, with him, seem to he the dangerous part. Last spring the city made arrange ments with the Gas and Water Com pany to put up six more drinking fountains for the benefit of the poor er tlasses. As yet they have not been put up. Who is to blame ? Judge A. J. Crovatt is eloquent in his laudations of Jlontcaglc as a summer resort—everything so nice and comfortable and so very cheap. He will probably follow neighbor Bur bages example and buy a cottage there. Sheriff Berrie made a trip to Bax ley Monday to curry Horace Bee, a criminal convicted of murder and sentenced to be hung, but who has been granted a new trial at the pres ent sitting of the court. Mayor Dunn informs us that lie has written out over 2,500 permits, health certificates, passes, etc., since the quarantine was put on, and nil “free gratis, [for nothing" save the glory of working in a good cause. Dr. J. M. Madden has just pur chased a handsome 110x180 lot fac ing Lover’s Oak, • for $000. He has already refused $1,000 for it, Now the next thing we expect to see will bo an elegant residence supplied with all the comforts of the day. It is well enough to say thirteen is an unlucky number. But this country started in business with thir teen States, and seems to be holding her own up to going to press, and if we can manage to keep the Republi cans out of office she is good for thir teen years more. The dining parlors of Messrs. Wal ker & Shannon are proving very pop ular indeed. A night or two ago the proprietors served forty oyster stews <luriug the evening, and had to close doors, having sold themselves com pletely out. They were out early the next morning gathering in more good things and getting ready for another rush. We would remind our readers that the caption of all local bills to go before the legislature must be ad vertised thirty days before the con vening of said legislature. There are several bills spoken of, and the 'originators should bo getting them i ready. ! months more it will be a thing of beauty. Mr. J. II. Clark is now absent, buy ing furniture, etc., for the Ocean Hotel, which will bo changed in man agement in January. Messrs. J. II, Clark, Claude Cook and Dick Harris will be in command. The building will be repainted and refitted, and will be one of the best two dollar- day houses in the State. There ivill be a number of improvements inode. The accommodation car to the “New Docks” of the E. T. V. <fe G. was put on this week, and now parties wishing to go out there either on business or pleasure can do so morning and afternoon. The morn ing car runs out in time to take the hands out to work, and the cvenin car in time to bring them back to the city. We have not been furnish ed any regular schedule as yet. This 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. Don’t throw your banana Feeling. j alldangerpa88ed .

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 to get her off 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. Camden Heard From and She Says the Color is “White.” Thanks to Mr. W. B. Valkenburg, Ordinary of Camden county, we have at last been able to get an official statement of the late election, which gives the following: FOR SENATOR. Andrew G.
