Two Suggestions.
We have had two good suggestions
made us to-dny worthy to be carried
out.
1st. That the city furnish thcGlynn
ship at the Piedmont Exposition a
thousand or moro copies of our last
trade pamphlet, " City by the Sea,”
for distribution to Western and
Northern people. This is surely n
wise suggestion, and should be car
ried out without fail.
2d. That some versatile writer se
cure from .Messrs. Lewis Harris, K.
('. P. Dart and other old citizens, all
tho data about this county —facts
not yet written about pluses und peo
ple, and publish the same in pam
phlet form, as part of our history.
This, too, is a good suggestion, and
should be carried out before these old
citizens go hence.
A “Delightful” Trip.
Not loug since, ou a rainy evening,
the K. T. V. <fc G. train rolled out of
Atlanta, and in a few moments I
thought of the sleeping ear as just
the place to spend a good restful
night from "Atlanta to the sea.”—
Soon I sought the quietude of section
5>o. —. Hut, alas 1 my disappoint
ment 1 Voices familiar to many per
sons in Brunswick were soon heard
in the adjoining section, and magic
cards and silver dollars sounded only
too distinct to allow any one not par
ticipating in the game of euchre to
enjoy a moment's sleep. Tho faith
ful few played cards from the hour
the train left Atlanta until after its
arri“al and departure from Jesup.
Think of, it! the delightful, un
selfish consideration of fellow travel
ers for each other ! A garte of cards
lasting from 7 o’clock in the evening
until 1 in the morning, with loud
talk and rattling of silver! It is no
wonder there arc sad hearts among
women with such men for husbands
and fathers. To say nothing of the
offense in the sight of the law, such
a nuisance as “social card playing”
should undoubtedly bo against the
rules of well regulated sleeping car
companies, especially where it pre
vents weary travelers from having the
night's rest they pay the extra price
of $2 for, expecting more comforts
than can lie had in tho “day coach.”
The names of this interesting par
ty from Atlanta are very well known
here "in society,” and it will be well
for them in the future lobe more con
siderate of the feelings of oilier pas
scugcrs who may lie on a south bound
train. They made the trip any tiling
but delightful. More could be said
about the betting of fifty cents, then
one dollar it game, and an occasional
“hush, you’ll be heard,” then a reply
ill the “choicest” language.
It is said “a wink to the wise is
sufficient,” so I hope it will heir, this
case. Tuavei.kii.
Brunswick, Ga., Sept. IS, 1889.
The Rice Planters.
If our river rice planters don’t
make their jail this year it will lie
their own fault. The seasons have
been excellent; the storms and fresh
ets have not euiue nigh them, and
now the sun shines out good and
hot every day. The man that can’t
make a success of the rice business
this year might as well quit that
line and go at something else
which lie has a louder call.
She “Spoke with Tongues.”
A very pretty incident occurred
Sunday at the l’rcsbyteriati Sab
bath school, which was pleasing in
deed to all who witnessed it, and
much commented upon.
Before the door, iih the ojicning
soug was sung, stood live Norwegian
sailors, listening intently to the mil
ie from within. An invitation stif-
eed to induce them within, nnd dur
ing the opening exercises they were
attentive spectators.
When the school divided into the
various classes, Mr. John Colville, by
request of Superintendent Cook, took
charge of the strangers, and essayed
to interest them. He found them
bright nml intelligent looking young
fellows, but able to sjicak and un
derstand but little English. Mr.
Colville would not he battled, howev
er, so secured the services of an in
terpreter, which he found in the per
son of little Miss Inga Iverson.—
This littlu miss seemed to take ill
the solemnity of tho occasion, nnd
earnestly she listened to and re
pcated the questions and answers be
tween tlie teacher and class. It was
xtremcly Interesting to watch the
aruest expresrion on the little girl’s
face as she strove to render in Nor-
ian the truths pointed out by Mr.
Colville, while the heads of IjCf lis
teners bout in mi animated semi-cir
cle around her, A half hour was
thus sjient with apparent pleasure,
and perhaps profit, to all concerned.
NARROWLY ESC*.
A Switch Engine and Tender
Jump the Track.
ACCIDENT ON THE EAST TENNESSEE—
A LEAP F011 LIFE—CLEAUINO AWAT
THE WKECK—THAI NS DE
LAVED.
j* n accident occurred Wednesday
night on the East Tennessee track at
the intersection of Monk street and
Cocran Avenue, in which Engineer
Sirmons, and Fireman Latham, of
engine 113, together with Mr. J. H.
Savage and two negrobrekumen, nar
rowly escaped death.
The engine in question had been
sent to E. T. V. A G. docks and Was
making her return trip to the city.
It was very near time for the incom
ing passenger train to arrive, hence
the switch engine was making pretty
good time in order to make the way
clear for that train.
Such was nop the .result however.
As the engine, preceded by the ten
der, swiftly speeded across Glouccs
tel- street, the tender jumped the
track. Engineer Sirmons applied
the brakes, blit to no avail. The on
gine ami tender continued at a rapid
rate, the cross ties being their only
support.
It was very evident that both cn
gine und tender would soon find a
resting place in the ditch aud all on
board, except Mr. Savage, jumped
for their lives. And they did a wise
thing. In Hie next moment a crash
came and the tender was completely
ditched while the engine turned al
most on its side, being partly on the
track and partly on the ground.—
Fortunately no one was hurt.
In a few minutes the jiasscnger
train came tip, but there was no way
to circumvent the partial wreck and
so the train backed to the three mile
crossing and came in oil the B. A W,
track.
$150,000 More Capital.
From Col. Bolling Whitfield who
is just back from Atlanta, and snug
ly cnsconsed at his office in theCro
vatt block ready for the winter’s bus
iness, wo learn that there is no
doubt that the charters for Bruns
wick's two new banks will lie granted
at an early day, which will add $150,
000 more to the banking capital o'
this city. This must be strange
reading to tho former citizens of.
Brqnswiek who now resido else
where, und hns not kept up with
Brunswick's growth, but well remem
ber the days of 'CO to ’70, when two
private bankers held all the money,
(we won’t give their names), and on
ly wanted 10 per font per month—
120 per cent per annum for the use
of a dollar.
Is it uny wonder that we staid
poor and down in the mud so long?
But we are glad to know that these
days have all passed, and wo have
to-day two fine National hanks with
over $200,000 capital, aud in a day
or two will have twoState hanks with
an aggregate of $150,000 moro, to say
nothing of private banks.

President Kennon anti bis Co. .
have gone on quietly and steadily un

ten tho enterprise. The main build
ing is all done exccjit the roof and
floor. The President and Superin
tendent's houses are up and occu
pied. The ' operators’ houses, nice
ones too, are about done, as also the
office. The engine is in and about
ready to move. The whole tiling
would have been completed months
nnd months ago, but for the fact
that the company have been delayed,
at every turn of the road. For in
stance, the spikes with which to put
on the roof have just gotten here, al
though ordered long ago, and so with
everything else. First, they could
not get in a side track from the rail
road, then the brick wouldn't come,
then something else hung fire, etc.
But the way seems clear now, ami
we may expect something done now
that will count towards putting the
spindles in motion. In all this delay
President Kennon has been as calm
and serene as a May morning. No

factory on bis bands—hanging fine

Amusing.
Severn! days ago quite a little par
ty left Atlanta for Cartersville to
hear Rev. Sain Jones deliver one of
his novel sermons. Among tin- party
was a Representative of the Legisla
ture from a southern seaport county,
he took a seat near the altar and was
suffering with quite a bad cold, bis
eyes were runniug water, and bis
nostrils was a source of much troub
le to him—he called it hay fever.—
About the time the congregation
were invited to unite in prayer, lie
leaned bis bead on his gold beaded
{•line, drew forth his handkerchief,
and commenced the process of clean
ing his nose and wiping his eyes. One
of the brethren spied what he pre
sumed was a convert, aud gently tap
pinjf him on the shoulder, remarked,
“Glory my brother, I am glad you
have an awakening, press on in the
good work and a crown of glory will
bo yours in tho world to come.”—
Raising bis head quickly, ho replied
to tho brother in a tone loud enough
to be heard some distance, “Say, my
friend, don’t bother me, don’t you
seo I linvc got tho hay fever.” The
expression of joy upon the face of
the brother faded away for one of
disappointment aud disgust, |nnd
moving on to the next convert he re
plied, old sinner if you don’t mend
your ways you’ll experience some
thing hotter than buy fever in the
great hereafter. If. D,

This caused us to put on our think

bor ever huvlajj hoard Mr. Haines
brag of what lie was going to do. In
reply to all of our inquiries ou this
line we have always had the same
answer; “Wait, Mr. Editor, until I
get through whr ( t J have laid nut to

CAPACITY.

It may prove of interest to our
readers o,. state that the first beer
ever 1" re wed in Georgia was brewed
on Jekyl Island, by Major Horton
tinder the direction of General Ogle
thorpe. Tlie hops were r- ised ,-n the
noi th “ii 1 of the island, und the beer
made on the same place. The old
well is still there where the water
was gotten that was used in the man
ufacture. It stands just on tlieblmr
of the creel;, and rises and falls with
the flow of the tide; but it does not
partake of salt. It is as sweet and
Bud nice to day as it was one hun
dred years ago. when first used.
Jlr Walters has been looking for
some time for a good place fo erect
his works, and finally selected Bruns
wick over Savannah, Charleston,
Jacksonville and Wilmington.
The- point selected is the strip of
ground between the boulevard and
the railroad, where the two cross
eacli other on the eastern side of the
city, and on the east of the track.
Besides the brewery and ice ma
ehinery, the company will erect a
cold stowage warehouse similar to
those used in western packing bouses.
These wilt be the first houses erected
on the boulevard proper. Wc expect
to seo scores of other building front
upon the game in the next decade.

The first few days after his arrival

Tho cotton crop this year is great

the outlook is good for 230,000 this
