An Appreciative Employer end
au Appreciated Employe.
Faithful employes and apprecia
tes employers don’t always get to
gethcr, but they do sometimes. ' An
incidont occurred yesterday that
shbwcd wo had such a case in our
midst. Yesterday was Mr. W. J.
Way’s birthday, and at noon his em
ployer, Mr. J. M. Dexter, the banker,
called him up and banded him a
purse of gold as a little token of his
appreciation of hfo faithful services,
and invited him to take tea with him
last night. Mr. Way accepted the
invitation and the present, and went
home happy, little drenming what
was in store for him. At the ap
pointed in the evening be was at the
elegant homo of his employer ready
to do honor to the viands about to
be spread, when a new dilficulty arose.
Little Miss-Agnes walked up to him
and handing him a package said:
“Accept this, Mr: Way, as a pres
ent from papa and mama.” Opening
tho package, it was found to bo a
ban iaoinc gold headed cane, with his
name and date on the head. This
was to much for our friend, but he
rallied after awhile, and snid: “I
have often been caned in my youth,
but never before in my old age. I
am too full for utterance.”
These little deeds of kindness make
mighty pretty mile-stones on the
pathway of life. How much more
happiness there would be if there
were more such employers in the
land.

Some of the up country delegates
asked us this morning what we
meant by Buck cool weather ns we

that there was nothing small about

THE CONVENTION.
The Baptist convention still keeps
up its interest The meetings arc
nil well attended, not only by its
members, but by ou( citizens as well.
The Baptists will meet in L'arioso
Hail for worship to-morrow, and the
Methodist and Presbyterian pulpits
will be supplied by mombers of the
c invention, '
At 4 p. in. a memorial service of the
late Dr. P. H. Mell. the former Pres
ident who lias gone “over the river,’’
will be held in tile hall.
Allen <fc Gintcr has the boss facto
ry in smoking tobaccos—a full line
of their goods, also Blackwell’s Bull
, St Simon’s Hotel.
The news from St. Simons is cheer
ing. The building, which is four
stories in the center and three on the
wings, is all enclosed, roofed, and the
floors laid; the lathers are at work,
and tho plasterers mixing the mor
tar. Tn the meantime tbc railroad
iron is here and the track will soon
be down. Vim and energy will show
up whenever nn opportunity presents
itself. Tile Oglethorpe Hotel has
proven a success, end such will ho
the case with the Beach Hotel, for it
has the same blood pushing it. Mr.
Dexter was down a few days ago to
sec about the artesian well, und we
learn tho eottnges will be begun next
week.
The Doctors Not Coming.
Dr. J. A. Butts got back from
Rome this morning, whither he had
gouc to attend the Medical Associa
tion’s Convention. He reports hav
ing had a delightful time. The peo
ple of Rome, big hearted as they are,
gave them every attention. When
the time arrived for selecting the
next place o( meeting, Dr. Butts put
Brunswick in nomiuation and read
the telegram from the Mayor and
Council asking that they come, and
notwithstanding the Association was
partly pledged to Mucon, so great
was the desire to come to Brunswick
that we were defeated by only four
votes. The fame of our beautiful
city has gone abroad, and the. Doc
tors wanted to come and see for
themselves.
Macon was selected for the next -
place of meeting, with the under
standing, however, that they would
come to Brunswick in 1800.
The colored people of Georgia seem
to be getting along very well. In
1879 they paid taxes on $5,000,000
worth of property, and in 1887 they
paid taxes on $9,000,000 worth. This
is one of the results of letting poli
tics alono and attending to business.

The truth" is r we only wanted .to
impress upon you the advantage of
sticking strictly to old-fashioned,
Sunday school truthfulness. The
idea of “one reporter on foot” taking
down tho proceedings of a public
gathering, including tho address, in
short-hand, re-writing It in long hand,
sending it a hnlf mile by “mounted
reporters,” putting same in type,
printing it, and getting the papers
on tho ground before the proceedings
were over seemed pretty rapid work
to us, nnd wo said so. Wo presume,
however, it was done by “enterprise”
and “mounted reporters,” two things
tho Breeze says wo don’t know any
thing about, nnd wo therefore retract
the insinuation in the first sentence of
this paragraph
And even then, there seoms to be a
sort of uncertain previousness about
the whole thing. It brings back too
vividly to our minds tho pain that
must have struck tho heart of ex-
President Grant when be read in the
Breeze a column account of his own
death, and all because the Breeze
wanted to lie tho first to announce it.
“Enterprise" never stops at trifling
obstacles.
Tho Breeze has lost its prestigo as
a prophet. He should at onco form
a co partnership with Wiggins, of
Canada, and together make a hit or
a miss us “meteorological and corner
stone prophets.”

When the 140,000,000 feet of uncat

many lumbermen have asked thfem-

which at $4 pel 1 thousand in tho trtojSv.,
