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.

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.

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.

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

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
