A good many northern newspapers took it for granted that the northern travel to Florida will not be nearly as great the coming winter as it was the last.

Sometime since wc made some mention of the handiwork of Rev. l’aui F. Brown, of this city. To-day we are pleased to refer to his ten- year-old son, Paul. Mr. Dauvergne, of this city has invented a ladies’ revolving table and lap-board com bined, and, by the way, one of the most complete things we ever saw. Wishing to patent it, it was neces sary that he have a model to send on to Washington. lie made tho draw ings, and gave them to little Pan Brown, who, by the way, has his own chest of tools, and lie built he model as nicely as any one could wish. It is a job worthy the skill of almost any one, especially a ten- year old boy. If more of our boys wore taught the use of tools early in life how much more useful they would be in after years to have around, to say nothing of the advantage gained in keeping them out of mischief. Our Shipping Dots. Six steamships were in view at our wharves this week at ono, time, and yet wo are not happy—wc want twelve. When we had but one, wc thought three would be something great—when we got three we yearned for six, ami now we are not content. We murmur because we have not an even dozen. There are 2S square rigged vessels in port to-day, the largest number ever seen here at one time. There arc about one dozen schoon ers in port, and as many river steam ers and tugs which added to tho shipping above mentioned, would make a grand total of crafts in this harbor to-day of sixty, enough tosav the whole city iu case of a tidal wave —provided the wind didn’t blow and people didn’t get frightened.

Brunswick will have by December 1st the finest cotton compress in the world. Tliis may seem like idle talk, but it is true, all the same; for, by that time, we will liaveln op eration the Belden Patent Cotton Compress. From that time forward, the press will run night and day. The great disidcratum of this press is that it not only compresses the cotton into as small a compass as the Morse press, but it so secures it that it remains that size, thereby enabling the shipper to load a vessel to her full capacity. For instance, the steamship Minniola loaded here recently with 6,100 bales of ordinary compressed cotton. She will return here about the 20th of December, and will carry about 10,000 just as easily. PLEASED WITH THE POUT. The Captain of the steamship Min- niola was so well pleased when here recently under charter by the Stow age and Export Company, that be re quested Captain Churchill to char ter his steamer to return as soon as she reaches Bremen. The owners, too, were delighted. She was loaded before her lay days were out, so complete are the arrangements for loading at the upper docks. One hundred ears can be unloaded there in a day, and the cotton taken care of too. A THOROUGH COTTON MAN. Captain Churchill, the moving spirit in tiic Stowage Company, is a thorough cotton man. He went into the hold of the Minniola _as soon as she arrived here, and took a good survey of her. He made his calcula tion, niul wired Mr. Carrollton in Atlanta to send down 6,100 bales He did so. Only three of these bales bad to go above the hatches of that steamer. Such is the man that holds the helm in the grand enterprise developing in our midst. a mo DAY. The first of December will be “red letter day” in Brunswick. On that occasion the new cotton press will beglff work, and the cotton men of this aart of the country will all be hertfro witness its workinlis. OIJ.TECTIUNS HE.MOVED. Opposition press owners have claimed that the fibre of the cotton will he ruined by the Belden patent. Experts have tested it and deny the assertion. THE SCENE WILL CHANGE.

We delight to chronicle the arri val of thcsecotton steamers, for they speak volumes for our port. But a few years ago the sight of an ocean steamer at our docks called for a general turning out of the people, and a visit to the Captaiu and his vessel by every prominent citizen of tho town. To-day these steamers come and go, and scurely call forth a comment. This morning wc wit nessed at the same moment two pow erful steamers coming up to our docks—the steamship State of Texas of the Mallory line, and the British steamship Starlight, coming in for cotton from Mr. Alfred Fatman, one of our new cotton men. The Starlight will take 4,500 bales-aud will sail for Bremen as soon as loaded. Another Sail Incident. Mr. Inman Interviewed about the Terminal. Mr. Inman of the Terminal Com pany has been interviewed, and this is what he has to say: “Many inquiries having come trorn the South relative to the plans and purposes of the Terminal Company, I take the liberty of making the fol lowing statement: As ^oon as piac- tieable we expect to establish in the State of Georgia a special bureau to take cognizance of and deal in any new enterprise that may be projected along tho lines of the Terminal sys tem. and by every means in our power to stimulate and develop the industrial growth ol' the South. My honest opinion is that by these means the country and the railroads will receive a mutual benefit, for nothing is truer than the fact that whatever benefits the country bene (its the railroads, and that the true growth of each is along parallel lines. OVERSHADOWING MONOPOLY. “I recogonize the fact that there is reasonably much prejudice agaiust the unification of the different South ern systems, the idea that they are being compacted into a vast monop oly which will overshadow the coun try and drain it of its substance. This, I think, however, is a mistaken idea, and especially a mistaken idea as to management of Terminal prop erty, for it is in the hands' of men who have the mutual interests of the railroads and country at heart. Besides, the people are .protected by the different State commissions and the Governmental commissions, and have their aeraedy should any abuse prevail, ft can be easily de monstrated that by the closer unity of these railroad systems a better system can be rendered, expenses de creased, rates cheapened and the general prosperity of the country better served. Nor AN OCTOPUS. . -It is not true that the Terminal Company is endeavoring to crush out the building of railroads, and itjs especially untrue that we have any purpose of trying to secure, either by purchase or lease, the control of the Western and Atlantic railroad, the property of the State of Georgia. There is room for all, and tho growth and development of the country will soon justify tho building of almost any railroad that comes into exis tence. SPECIAL INDUCEMENTS. “I expect very soon to have a con sultation with the heads of the Rich mond and Danville, the East Tonnes see, Virginia and Georgia and the Central Railroad systems, t<? offer special inducements in the way of sidetracks, short branch roads, Ion. term contracts and cheap freight, and to endeavor in every way possi ble to stimulate the erection of new manufacturing plants and the build ing up and the strengthening of those already in existence, also by lowering immigrant rates and to make induce ments for settlers to come in the South an . mil I her up " Procession. CEMETERT DEDICATED. The First Burial. Sometime ago a gentleman named William Bernhard appeared in this city trying to get an appointment as nurse to the sufferers of Florida. He was taken sick whilst boarding at Mr. Jos. Doerflingers, and died there. After he had been ill several days his money gave out, but that made no difference in the treat ment received; Mr. Doerllinger con tinued to take care of h: a Dr. Bottsford visited him regularly, and Messrs. Hodges <fc O’Connor con tinued to furnish him medicine. A stranger in a strange land, he was not left to suffer, but good sa maritans nursed and nourished him, and Sunday he was laid away to rest in the new cemetery. The Jewish Rabbi, Mr. Rosenburg, first dedicated the spot with appropriate ceremonies, and then the form of the Jewish stranger who bad died in our midst was laid away to rest, the first, in the newly dedicated grounds. Among the baggage of tlic stran ger were several newspaper notices, the latest of which was from an Augusta paper, announcing that he would leave the next day for Florida to secure a place as nurse to the yellow fever sufferers. In the article was his treatment of yellow fever, etc., showing that he was no novice in the business. Keep I’p With flip Kditnrrt Advertiser*Appeal. While many of us arc discussing the different schemes for the attrac- traction of visitors, and the advance ment of our common welfare, would it uot bo wise to pay some little at tention to the fact that we are be hind the ago in one particular at least. Wc have our artesian wells, our electric lights, our street railways, our fine hotel, our attractive parks, but I will venture the asMrtion that no place of like size and pretention has such sights as may be witnessed on our principal streets and squares at certain times. It only reminds one that instead of being up with the progressive pe riod, we still cliug to a system in vogue decades past, and that iustend of the streets, parks, etc., being for the people, they are used as pas tures for our line(?) stock—the total results of which can better be imag ined than described.

Barnes, the fish and.oyster man. if is day’s work extends over a space of from eighteen to twenty hours. About five o’clock it. m. his slumbers arc disturbed by the hotel and restaurant men, who want fish and oysters for breakfast. When he gets these o the six o’clock dock train must be met to fill orders for the people out there. Next comes the seven o’clock B. <fc W. train, I'ol lowed by the 8:15 East Tennessee.— A few minutes for breakfast can now be fonlul, after which comes the work of tho day, getting iu oysters, looking after boats atul hands, and getting off more fish and oysters on the noon dock train and 3:15 East Tennessee, and filling town orders.— Night finds Mr. Barnes a tired man, with several hours’ work stiii before him posting books and accounts. Mr. Barnes has a regular pay-roll of thirty five, fishing, oysstoring, open ing and packing. He says it is im possible to supply the demand, aud every day mail orders are refused in order not to stint the city trade. Disciples of Nimrod.
