: -.vo, t^H~~; ErtPR,8E - Brunswick &dmti$cr. Brunswick continues to boom. Hanover Park continues to prove a great resort of visitors. The sudden change in tofhpcraturc brought out several overcoats this morning. Pellicanville is on a big boom The merchants out there are doing a big business. The scboolsVill reopen on the 30th insl. The prospect was never so llattcriug. We asked a Hay street merclmift this morning for an item of news, and his only reply was- “Seed oats.” Work has again been suspended on the new boulevard. Some ol the parties living along the route do not favor the extension. When our banks move into their new buildings, neither will 'have to haul their specie very far. A very lew yards in cither case.

The National Mutual Building ana Loan Association mndo its first loan of $1,000 this morning to a citizen of Brunswick. We arc not at liberty to give his name. Mr. J. .1. Griflln, of the E. T. V.

Now that cotton is commencing to pour in we shall naturally expect to see much of him down here, for he al ways has an eye to freights. 11c likes to Jcccp it moving until lie turns it over to the next transportation line. “Greer & Wilkins” is the name of the Key Stone Livery Stable firm now, instead of Greer A Son, us here tofore, Mr. W.

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. THEY HAVE ASSIGNED. N. Giillcan* & Co. Make an As- signment to J. H. Clark. Messrs. N. Gilliam A Co. made an assignment yesterday to Mr. J. II. Clark. Be,lib of an Infant. Mr. and Mrs. 11. lu-rson were called upon Wednesday to give up their little infant. Ivi:u. She was sick only two days before called.away. The parents know whereto look for eon solution. Rough on Bad Writing. The si,d expprlcnccof printers with bad manuscript scut in for publica tion and the fate of same often—the waste basket, brings to mind a story told by a North C'arolian of our city. V,'ho know the parties, which com pletely cups everything else V/e iu. ever heard. It seems there was at one time all altercation between Mr. Ash, President of a North Caroliua Railroad, ant) a lawyer of that State. It resulted in a challenge being sent the lawyer by ' President Ash. The writing wt,s so infamous that it could not be read. Tho lawyer, whether from ignorance or a spirit, of pure wickedness ivr know not, concluded to use it as a free jias* over tl|» said yes. are having .. r will surely bo a boon a President Kennon anti bis Co. . have gone on quietly and steadily un til now, and wc had well nigh forgot 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 odc would even have thought that lie had as big an enterprise as a cotton factory on bis bands—hanging fine for want of material. - 'ce * Jco Wes “ Bnmswiet/ p °r some tin, '*"*• L* W ^Tto m Jiavc had theft Wisent men TJ| Man °f Her ChoX?* ^ ^ I btiu comes hero to locate an 1D & Wtt/e incident of tu* * n Clerest ory plant.

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.

Don’t do any blow lug,but quietly puts in the work,’ is wbat we heard a gentleman say this morning of Supt. George W. Haines of tho B. A W. R. K. This caused us to put on our think ing cap, nnd sec if wo could rcmcm- 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 do, and then go . with me over the line and see for yourself.

The ice machine will have acapac- ity of forty tons per day—sufficient ty supply not only all they peed them selves, but the wants of the city and surrounding country besides. The brewery will have a capacity of 50,000 barrels annually, and em ployment will be given to about two’ hundred hands. $100,000. * ■ From Jlr. Welters wc learn that the cost of the plant will be $100,000, all of which stock is now being taken and the money deposited ready to pay all contracts. 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. ANOTHER BIG ENTERPISE. Darien Items From the Gazette, Darien continues to be healthy. The St. Nicholas will soon be on tiic routp again. The rice birds are slow in putting in their appearance.

E. Jacobsen, n man ot — -than ordinary “good looks,” anil one whom acquaintance proved to be a gentle man in the true sense of the word.— The first few days after his arrival he was busy with the business of his, vessel, procuring his cargo, cte., but while his person was present on our streets, his heart was far away, nnd the last JIallory steamer State of Texas carried him to New York, where lie will meet Jliss C. E. Pe tersen, of Norway, who has como alone across the ocean to meet um| wed her lover. After their marriage the young couple will come at once to Bruna- .ivick. when the bride will take up her abode on the Mississippi, trans ferring the Captain's seafaring apart- ments into a little Eden. As soon us tho vessel is loaded, they will set sail on their wedding tour to Jtontcvidoo, South America. What is it that a woman will not do for the man she loves? What think tlie girls of Brunswick—would one of them sail three thousand miles to un unknown land to meet her lover, and with him to go to the “ends of the earth,” with no possibility of seeing home again in less than a year?
