r« t'lftcr. Holland Herrings at Kn n Urn’s It is said that (’apt. Mm iis wears the handsomest sword ami belt ever donned in the city. j. The theatrical season has opened up in many places. Brunswick will soon have her full share. Aro vou going to the Piedmont? If so remember that tickets can be bought over eitherrouteon Tuesdays and Thursday for only $4.00 round trip, good for five days. Mr I). (.. Cook for many years an employe ofthe 11. A W. R. R , died Wednesday in this city. He was hur ried this afternoon at 3:30 o’clock. Rev. McK. F. McCook officiating. Col. W. A. Jeter is again at home, having returned with his family who have been spending the summer in upper Georgia. TheC’olonel has lost none of his enthusiasm for the “city by the sea.” He finds no place just like it anywhere. Mr. P. G. liusbec has gone to Flor ida to look after his orange grove and see if they are not yet ready to pick. He'will bring back some with him when he comes for his fruit store on Newcastle street. Things looked lively at the H. A- W. dock this morning. OncsAboncr wus loading with crossties, unother rear ’ was unloading railroad iron, and the steamer Mcrrimac was discharging her cargo of cotton. Every days work of the carpenters on Mr. A. T. Putnam’s new residence on Union street brings out to view the designs of tho architect. Con tractor A. V. Putnam is putting up a job there that reflects credit on his workmanship. Yes, Walker is dead—dead as a bullet can make a man, and never more will his smooth head be seen bobbing up from underneath his cart-tirc hoop, or his voice rin£ out “trout, trout, trout to-day—fish to-day buyers.” No, never for his head is now underneath the sod and his voice hushed in death. He was killed last night at Wnynesvillc. Three negroes arc said to be connect ed in* his death. As the scaffolding is being taken away the Oglethorpe National bank building’s beauty begins tocome out. Wc don’t wonder at President Ul- man for standing at a convenient dis tancc and drinking in its beauty, fur it is indeed a thing of beauty. Among the visitors to the city nrc Mr. and Mrs. Edward Butt, of Des- moinc, Iowa, relatives of Mrs. Bnuin gartner. They have come io enjoy a mild winter and drink pure artesian water for their health. Che New School Building: Bids will soon be advertised for on the new school building soon to bo erected in this city. It will be a beauty. Mr. I). Glauber, of the school board, called on us yesterday and showed us the entire plans as adopted by the board. They nrc from the hand of Architect A. S. Eichber; whose skill ns such is recognized in this city. Tho {milding will be of brick, and have a seating capacity in its two study roomsofSOO—250 in each, The study rooms will occupy the centre of the building, whilst the recitation will occupy the two ends. The building will have a frontage of 144 feet on Wright s sipiarc, and will occupy lots 301 aud 302, togeth er 180 feet square. It will face cast, the main building running north and south. Every attention to com fort and hygiene have been duly studied—ventilation being the great dcsideratim. The study rooms will be supplicil with single desks, so that each pupil will have his own. The class rooms, four up stairs and four below, will be large and commodious and supplied with everything neces sary. There will be several marked fea tures about the building. 1st. Double entrances, front Brunswick Dirt Rising. Ycs.Brnnswick dirt is rising; do you doubt it ? Then watch Mr: Calnan’s gang on Newcastle street as they shovel up the dirt for the street car line. But it not only rises there, but all over town. If you doubt this, call on nny of our active real estate men— and we would have you know that they arc all live fellows. Try them and see how the figures stand. The trHth is, there is no place in this whole land where values have increas ed more on real estate than in Bruns wick—outside of the iron and coal belts. Prices have fairly jumped, and not only in Brunswick, but lands near by as well. We heard to-day of a little pluce near the city, situated on a salt creek, for which $15000 have been refused. A few years ngcr$1000 would have been considered a big price. _ , Rates to the Exposition. For the benefit of our readers, many of whom have asked us for informa tion on the subject as the railroad officials don’t seem to advertise same, we would state that we have called on both agents here, and IliTd that the rates arc the same oyer cither line and are as follows: ' “Tickets good for five days from Brunswick to Atlanta and return, $4.00 Tickets on sale only Tuesdays and Thursdays.” “On-all other days for $8.83, and good for thirty days.” “Both these tickets include ad mission to the grounds of the Expo sition one time.” The Masonic Grand Lodge of this State will meet in Macon on Tuesday Oct. 29, in the Masonic Temple- Delegates from all partB of the State will be in attendance. The meeting promises to be an important one. 2d. Perfect ventilation, every room having windows on at least three sides, the centre of the building pro jecting beyond the rest, front aud rear. 3d. Wide doors between all parts of the main building, so that any floor can be opened up all into one. 4th. Between the windows of each room the walls will lie finished up ns blackboards, so that there will be no scarcity of these. 5th. The building being really three in one: the walls between each will be fireproof, so as to decrease the risk in this direction as much as possible. Cth. The whole will be complete in every respect—an honor to the board an ornament to the city and a com fort to our children. Nof a Ship, But a Schooner. Gapt. Dart tells us a good one on a “land-lubber” at the Exposition. lie sauntered up to the ship Glynn, and asked where the sails were, and was told that they were “down’ in the hold.” “Well," said he, “you can’t call that thing a ship Unless she hud her sails.” “What would you call her, then ?” queried the Captain. “Why, n vessel without sails is called a schooner, nnd, with sails, a ship.” This bit of nautical information came near upsetting Hon. James l’os- tclle, of St Simons, who was present. Officers Elected. At the annual meeting of stock holders of the Brunswick Harbor nnd Land Company, and the Brunswick DESTROYED BY FIRE. Mill, Duru nnd Rico Gone Up in Flamed. The rice mill and barn of Mr. Jas, F. King, of Satilla, has been destroy ed by lire. The flames originated on the roof (which was very old) from a spark from the smoke stack. The entire mill and machinery, together with about 1,<500 bushels of rice, were destroyed. The mill, etc., was the property of Mr. J. F. King; the rice was owjcd by the hands who had suWented of the Messrs. Lang A Bro.—they to pay $10 per acre in rice for rent. This will be a heavy loss on both lessees nnd hands, for they had no insurance, and the crop being destroyed there is no chance for rent money. Capture of Counterfeiters. InnixAroLis, Oct. 8.—Secret ser vice officers raided a gang of counter feiters south of this city yesterday and captured Isaac Reynolds, John Lucas and J. M. McBride, the latter an old offender, and his confederate farmers. After tho capture Lucas’ house was scrolled, and a mold and $140 in spurious coin were found.— The gang has been making $10 gold coins, aud a number has been put in in circulation in this city and over in | Johnson county. McBride made a full confession, suying they had been engaged in the business several months, and hud got rid of a large amount of stuff in this State, Illinois, Kentucky aud Ohio. The names of several other members of the gang have been secured, and tile officers are after them. Library Meeting. Tho Board of Directors of tho Brunswick Public Library met Tues day afternoon, with Rov. Paul F. Brown, President, in the chair. There were present, besides the President, Mrs. Dexter, Mrs. Smales, Mrs. Putnam, and Messrs. Balch and Stacy. Mrs. A. S. Wayne sent in her res ignation as a member of tho Board, which was accepted with regrets, and Mr. F. A. Boyle was elected to fill her place. On motion it was determined to collect up all dues to January 1st, 1890—thus bringing out tbe quarter even with the end of tho year—the 4th quarter of the year now ending December 1st. On motion the committee on books was instructed to order 25 or 30 new books at once, there being money enough in the treasury to meet the same. Op motion, Mrs. M. A. Baker, for mer Librarian, wus employed to take charge of the librtup- for n month, or for a longer time, if deetoed advisa ble. The Board then adjourned to meet on the first Tuesday in November.

Kennard, Secretary and Man ager. . At 10:30 Standard Time. We arc requested by Rev. McK. F. McCook, pastor of the Methodist church of this city, to Btatc that ser vices at his church will commence every Sunday morning at 10:30stand- ard time, instead of at 11 o’clock, as announced last Sabbath. Another Steamship, The British steamship, Lancaster, Capt. Roncbctte, arrived in port this week from Cape Verde island, and will load with cotton for Liverpool for the Brunswick Terminal Com pany. This makes three ships now loading at their docks. Malicious Mischief. Some trilling characters Tuesday raided Littlefield A Co's lighter and hoistcr, and after stealing all the tools they could find, deliberately proceeded to cut up their ropes, thus destroying what they could not use themselves. The ropes being of a particular kind, would tell on them if they used them, so these they de stroyed. Three Negroes Shot! W.viiKSBoRo, Ga , Oct. 8.—McCann (colored) died last night from the effects of a gun shot wound received at Kirkland Saturday night. As Kirkland is a small station with no telegraph office, nothing definite is known about the shooting. A negro who came down with McCann says McCann was taken for another man and shot by mistake. Ho says the negro who did the shooting shot two other persons also. From the differ ent reports there is no doubt but that a woman was tho cause of the shoot ing. . Death of Mrs. Fabian. Mrs. E. Fabian, of this city died Tuesday at her home in New Town, She is a native of Wilmington, N. C., whither her remains were taken to-day. Mrs. Fabian was a Bister of Mrs. Dudley of St. Simons Island, and n most estimable lady and de vout Christian. Mr. Fabian and Mrs. Dudley ac companied the remains to Wilming ton. taking with them also the week- old infant of the dead mother.— The stricken husband and sister have the warmest sympathy of the entire community.

Brunswick is represented by four ladies, and many other visitors uie here from elsewhere. IIomnksb. Carbondale, Pa., Oct. 8.—The epi demic of malignant diphtheria which has broken out in that city, and which has been described in the Her ald, threatens to work fearful results, nnd tbe people have been thrown into a state of terror. In the last two weeks about seven ty-five new cases of the most virulent type have been reported, and a large number of deaths have take place. In many pluces entire families urc stricken down, and no one is left to care for them, their friends and neighbors foaring to lend assistance lest the disease be conveyed to their own families. New cases and deaths are reported every day, and while at first the malady was confined to children, now the arc muny adults down. Tho malady broke out in the part of the city that is noted for its un sanitary condition. Impure drink ing water, stagnant cesspools and foul vaults are ascribed as the cause by tho physicians. In tho locality known as Welsh Hill there have boon over fifty cases, some blocks having scarcely a house without an attnek of the disease. The condition of the premises of many of these people is filthy, and the au thorities have been very lax in en forcing sanitary regulations. The people arc incensed at the au thoritics for their neglect, which has brought on tho contagion, and the matter lias been reported to the State Board of health. Eleven Different Languages. It is seldom that nny one firm has, among its employees and adjuncts, men who can converse in eleven differ ent languages. But such is true of Messrs. E. II. Muson it Co., sbip- chnndlcrymcn, on Bay street. A re porter of the Advertiser dropped in there this morning and heard three languages at the same time. Mr. Johnnnesscn and Capt. Wilde were on one sjjle, firing German into each other. Mr. Johannessenandjanotl'cr Captain were nearby rolling out Nor wegian like they were talking their mother-tongue. Others were talking English equally us fluently. Calling Mr. Johnnncsscn's atten tion to the different languages being spoken, be smiled and said: “You can put it In your paper to day that between Mr. Carreras, Mr Jonesscn and myself we can con verse in the following different lan guages: Norwegian, Swcodisli, Dan ish, German, English, French, .Span ish, Portugese, Italian, Austrian nnd Sluvoniun.” How important this knowledge must be to these gentlemen when business brings their, in contact every day with Captains and sailors from all parts of the « ■ d—particularly the nationalities -i- ing the above Jlrs. I.conara Barry, a lecturer for the Knights of Labor, bus returned from Paris, where she spent a least six days, and when she arrived in Philadelphia she registered as “Mrs. L. M. Barry, Paris.” This has caus ed labor circles in that city to be come somewhat excited, and one of Mrs. Barry's eoworkers says: “It is dilllcut for me to believe that a wo man of M rs. Barry’s position, as a leader of women and an educator of the toiling sisterhood, could have been so foolish. If a man, under sim ilar circumstances, I would say, ‘He is a prig and a snob,’ but there has been no word coined to cx[>ocss such fimlishness in a woman." St. Simons Dots. Sir. J. L. Foster, General Mana ger of the St. Simons Mills, together with his family, is back to his [lost, after a pleasure trip north. The “big mill” is again running on time after her delay from a broken shaft. There are two barks, one brig, and two schooners now loading ut tbe St. Simons mills. MR. M’lVER’S ELOQUENCE. Ati.inti, Oct. 7. —Little was done n the Legislature to-day. Both Houses held short sessions and ad journed to uttend the exetiscs of the Piedmont Exposition. In the House Mr. Melver, the polished though highly colored mem ber from. Liberty county, rnado his first speech. Appreciating the mi nority in which he finds himself in the Legislature. Melver has taken pains to deport himself like a colored gentleman of tho old- antc-beltuni school. His bow is always ready and address polito in the extreme. His cap comes off on the slightest provocation, and his influence in the Legislature is in consequence quite ns great as could be expected, for he has antagonized nobody, but, on the contrary, behave with decided discre tion since he became a member. Good will, therefore, as well as curi osity. impelled the House to give him a. fair showing. A bill to protect the public roads and bridges against heavy lumber wagons and the dragging of logs of timber, was tho inccntivo for him to launch forth, which he did in earnest style in support of the bill, which reigned supreme. Perhaps no speech of the present session has been accorded more po lite attention, and though the result of his ebony cloquncc was not quite all that he could have wished, Me Ivcr had the fullest opportunity for its display. He argued that the heavy wagons and logs cut up the roads unmerci fully, whilo their owners contributed nothing towards repairs, and was not the fanlt of the honest old negro that the bill was lost. The Brunswick State Bank. This Done of the i.. institutions soon to begin work in our city, aud known here in nm: n parlance as the“Crovutt Bank, ' Judge A. J. Crovatt being one of the promoters of it. Learning that Mr. E. S. Marsh, of liranden, Vermont, one of the largest stockholders in the institu tion. We called at Messrs. Crovatt A IV!. '.field’s office this morning for an interview. Wc found the Judge serenely seated in conversation with Mr. Marsh. “Well, Judge, wc have come fora bit of bank news, can wc have it?” “Well, we have as yet nothing spe cial to give you forwc are not ready for business—have had no election yet. “Well you must tell us something. The people want to know and wo must get tho news.” • “Well you can say this much at least. Wc are going to organize in a few days with $50,000 stock paid in, will be ready for business about Nov. 1st. Stock will be increased to $500,000 as fast ns possible. The directors nnd officers will all be home people.” “Nothing more?” “Nothing more to-day, but much more soon.” GLYNN EXHIBIT. She Ranks with the Them. THE SHIP GLrHS ATTRACTS EVF.RVHODV —WnAT THE JOURNAL SAYS nr HER AND OUR EXHIBIT. A Great Curiosity. Judge A. J. Crovatt told iis a good one on himself this morning.— The past suinmer, when in Branden. Vermont, he was being driven around the city by Mr. Marsh, who is now here interested in one of the new hanks, uftcr taking him all over the city aud out among the farmers showing him all the sights, remarked to the Judge that he hnd a curiosity to show him, und by tbe way tbe on ly one in that whole section. At once bis cariosity wus aroused and on they drove. Reigning up ut a popular drug store in tbe city, be pointed out »little mulatto girl about 3.) feet high, with tbe remark, "jl’liat is tbe only negro in this whole sec tion, lienee we call bora great curi osity uud show her to every stranger that coftics.” Tho sight was not a novel one to the Judge. Transformation. There is going on quite u transfor mation in the establishment of Mr. H. M. Miller “across the way” from the Advertiser office. Partitions are being tukeu out. shelving remod eled, a stairway erected, skylights put in, etc. In short’ he is getting ready to do business in better shape. The upper floor of the establishment which has been fitted up now, will lie used exclusively for upholstering and the loner floor for his harness department. Mr. Miller has exem plified what can be done by close at tention to business. Hu first started simply a repair shop, now it tukrs two floors to accommodate bis busi ness. Capt. Dart returned from A..ant* last Tuesday well pleased with the condition in which he left Captain Mcrrificld and the Glynn. He reports our exhibit the attraction of everyone. So great was the press yesterday that he had to put up a railing to keep off the crowd. In reply to our query as to the success of tbe etcr- nrise, Capt. Dart says I refer you to- tho article in yesterday’s Atlanta. Journal: Glynn county’s exhibit differs in> every particular from the exhibits of the other counties now represented in the machinery hall. Its show of agricultural products, is very- mca grc. Glynn, of course, is not an ag ricultural county. What is said of its agricultural products can also bo said of its mineral and forest pro ducts; hut the products of her deep sea soundings, of tne shore, of the inlaud fetile spots, and of her ship ping are abundant. Many showcases, filled with shells, and curious representatives of the finny tribe; beautiful sea grasses.— •Models of utmost every style of ves sel that that traverse the waters that lapse the shores of Glynn county.— Cocoanuts, rice and sugar cane are shown as products of this section.— A large easo filled with Indian rel ics lends a great deal of interest to the display. But the sreat object of their exhibit is their udmirahle rep- representation of tbe flipping in terests of Glynn ceunty. A fuit-rigged vessel; clipper built, nnd perfect in every detail from keel to prow, lies ut her dock. The Glynn is he name, Captain Merrilield in command. She is an ablcvessel, find could plow tbe waters of old ocean if she had it to do.. The Glynn is 35 feet “over all,” ns theCuptuin termed her length, with a 7 foot beam and u 5 fojt hold. . She is full rigged. Eve ry roijp and spar found on un ocean vessel of her "cut” is to be seen on this perfect in-Kiel. Her sails are furled, us is oust -diary with vessels taking a cargo. 1 lie dock to which tbe vessel is moored is a correct rep resentation of an actual one. On the floor is stretched canvass painted tbe color of the water of the bay. In tbe distance cm be -seen tk^ island of St. Simons, with the light house, and Jckyl light house can also bo'seen. Vessels of various kinds ride the waves, giving a realistic idea of the port of Brunswick and the water and scenery oil the shore. The scenery was painted Jiy a gen tleman in Brunswick. The ship was built by Mr. Talnas a Norwegian Bhip builder, a resident of Brunswick. The cargo with which the ship Is loaded, represents the products that are shipped by water from the port of Brunswick. • The “Glynn” is u staunch little craft. Her mooring is in quiet waters now. Surrounding her are signs of the prosperity of the splen did country she so admirably repre souls. .May ber prow ever divide prosperous waters, and reach her home port with plenteous cargoes lor her people, Mr. U. Dart has thu Glynn exhibit in charge, and is a pleasing gentle, man. He takes u great deal of pride in getting tbe exhibit of his country in “ship shape” order. Tho bales of cotton shown by Glynn county represent thu co.ii- prussed and uneompressed product. The Beldcn presses, two of the largest cotton presses in the world, loeuted at the East Tennessee docks in Brunswick, were used in pressing tho halo of cotton now on exhibition in the Glynn county display, Telling the Truth. A gentleman who used to be a post master, hut who is not working it now, was interviewed the other day. “ So you have tendered your resig nation, have you ?” asked a friend. “No,” said he, “I have had my res ignation tendered me." Sale of Valuble Property, The Dupree place in the northeast ern portion of the city, lately owned by Mr. Kosondo Terras, has been rp eently sold to Mr. F, H. Scarlett. U is a most excellent piece of property situated on a bold uruck in full > t-w of tbe ocean, and contains forty n< ret of lund more or less. When Mr. Torres bought of .Mr. Lewis Dupree a year or two ago for $2,500, some people said “foolish mun,” and now Mr. Scarlett has bought the same property for $5,500. Whereupon the same croakers boh) up their bands and exclaim “why that man has no sense at all.” How 1 short sighted some people! ft wqqt be five years before some body will wonder what fool No. 3 was thinking of to give Mr. Scarlett $10,000 for tho Dupree place. We consider it one of the most desirablo pieces of property around Brunswick and tho day is not far distant when sumo nabob will owa it und fix up a iittlo paradise of it
