Glynn Superior Court.
. Glynn Superior Court convened at
ten o’clock this morning with Judge
James Brown, of the Cherokee cir
cuit, in the chair. Tho Judge’s
1 charge to the Grand Jury was just
one hour long, and was awful search
ing, indeed. He left no loop hole for
a Grand Juror to crawl out but
brought every man right up to his
duty; showed it to him and then said
now go and do it at all hazards, eveu
if you strike down your best friend;
your oath says you muqt. With that
charge ringing; in' a Grand Jurors
cars he couldn’t go wrong if he wnnt-
ed to.

To “Don't Go Back.”
“Don’t Go Rack" advocates stan
dard time in yesterday's Breeze, and
by so doing does “go back” just 36'
mtnntes. Why, you old fogy, this ie
a progressive ego, and the idea of go
ing back is simply ridiculous. I be-
iievo in moving on. You had better
practice wbat you preach—set your,
old turnip forward 86 minutes, and
keep up with the times. There is
not a firm of any account outside of
tho railroads that are running by
standard time. Oh, no I do not
want to go back to candles and the
hour glasses, but it is you that is
trying to get back there—you have
taken 36 steps that way already.
Strangers coming to the city have a
right to carry whatever time they
like. The time that we have bad all
along has never been any confusion
to anyone except such brainless in
dividuala as Don’t Go Back. Good
bye old fogy, I will tell them you are
coming, but 36 minutes late.

Cows in the Cemetery.
We wore led to suppose when we
expended over $2,000 on an iron fence
for the cemetery that ^ie days of
“cows in the cemetery'’ were at an
end, but wo were doomed to disap
pointment, for wo have had two no
tifications within the last week that
cows were running at large in the
cemetery'. This thing should not be.
If the arrangements made by' the
manufacturers for keeping these
gates closed don’t keep them closed,
then let the Chairman of Cemetery
Committee, put something there that
will keiep them shut and charge same

Sealed.
Mr. E. J. Harvey was the recipient
yesterday of a handsome present, in
in the shape of a watch chann or seal
presented by the teachers and pupils
of the Methodist Sabbath School, of
this city, over which he has faithful
ly presided for fifteen years. Through
summer’s heat and winter’s cold he
has been at his post, and done his
duty. He notified the school some
time since that he would sever his
connection with them yesterday. The
school therefore was ready for the
emergency, and when his resignation
was handed in, Dr. D. D. Atkinson,
Assistant Superintendent, in behalf
of the school, made a very pretty
speech in which he dwelt at some
lengtli on tho efficient labors of tho
retiring officer, nnd then presented
him with the beautiful seal mention
ed above. Mr. Harvey accepted the
token of love in a short and feeling
speech, after which Mr. J. T. Palmer
was duly installed his successor.

The Harnett House at Savannah,
Ga., says the Boston Courier, is an
old stand-by, and is probably hotter
known to travelers than many larger
houses. Mr. M. L. Harnett is still
the manager, and not only has a
pleasant word for every incomer, but
also is full of explicit information,
which he readily imparls, a qualifi
cation, which is met with far less
often than desired. The Harnett
House is very handy to the horse cars
running to the railroad stations and
steamer wharves. may2-lm.

explaining more fully the objects,
aims and workings of the society,
pointing out the great needs that ex
ist for it in every seaport town, and
making an earnest appeal that the
society might be organized and
pushed to a successful consumma
tion. In the days gone by the speak
er spent five years “befqye the mast,”
and he spoke with an earnestness
that came from a personal knowl
edge of the hardships, privations and
sorrows of a sailor's ljfe. The writer
sat beside a quintette of the brawny
sons of Neptune, and as the speaker
proceeded their looks, gestures and
exclamations to each other were full
of significance. “He’s been there •”
was written upon each face, and one
of them whispered to us, “He don’t
make it half bad enough.
At the conclusion of the remarks
voluntary contributions were called
for to rent and furnish a reading
room, bethel, etc., and otherwise
start the work. Printed cards were
distributed and afterwards collected
on which all were invited- to state
the amount they desired to contrib
ute, and also whether or not they de
sired to become members of the soci
ety, the annual dues being $5 per an
num. The result was a very gratify
ing amount subscribed, and the en
rollment of twenty-one names as
members. A committee will make a
canvass of the city, nnd it is hoped
to swell the membership to one hun
dred, or $500 in dues. The parent
society in New York will duplicate
any amount raised by a local society,
and this would insure a revenue of
$1,000 to sustain the society
An election was held for five Di
rectors, to have charge of all the bus
iness of tlie society, and to select
from their own number a President
and other officers. The nominating
committee reported the names of
Messrs. T. E. Waff, J. R. Cook, D.
J. Dillon, W. M. Tuppcr and W. A.
Fuller, who were elected. The con
stitution provides for a board of
nine, but it was thought best to post
pone tho selection of the other mem
bers until a later date.
Brunswick.
Editor Ihomasville limes: I have
been revisiting by flood and field, lo
calities which, forty years ago, were
familiar to me. Among these local-,
ities, is that i^on which tho flour
ishing city of Brunswick has been
ereoted. Brunswick, after fifty years
struggle against poverty and “coast
influence,” which controlled legisla
tion against her, has at last broken
the shacklefc that bound her,, and in
the last few years suddenly sprung
into an existence, to me, entirely un
recognizable. In fact, her growth in
the lost three years has been so rap
id that nil the old Undroarks-r-once
so familiar to me—have been blotted
out., I knew Brunswick best when
her population was about three hun
dred. I find her, to-day, with a pop
ulation of ten thousand. Twelve
months ago her population was eight
thousand. At this rate, sho will
soon boast of a population of twenty
thousand. On the site of the old
wooden Oglethorpe Hotel; where, fif
ty years ago, I used to sport upon
tlie “light fantastic toe” and mingle
with tho dear friends of my youthful
days, who have all passed away, has
been erected the beautiful brick
“Oglethorpe.” The interior con
struction of.this house, its finish and
its furniture, for convenience and in
elegance, surpasses anything I have
seen in tho South. It is, without
doubt-the best watered hotel in the
vm-m* Stand-pipes aro so
arranged throughout the building,
with hose attached, that, in case of
fire, the entire enterior could be
flooded in ten minutes. . S. E. Crit
tenden. of the'“Cooper'House,” Coo]
brated Hygela, Old Polif
is the manager of this truly beauti
ful establishment. If any one has a
national reputation as a hotel mana
ger, it is S. E. Crittepden. Tho house
has, so far, been an entire success.
My first object in coming here was
to visit my son. My next was to vis
it St. Simons Island, and seo for my
self what preparations woro being
mado there for the accommodation of
tho large number of up-country peo
pie n ho would desire to spend the
summer on the sea-board. To my
surprise and delight I find extensive
arrangements are bciug made for the
reception of all who may come. A
three-story lintel,’ to accommodate
one hundred and fifty, and twenty-
five or thirty neat cottages, for the
convenience of families who {might
prefer them to the hotel, will soon bo
completed. About n mile frbm the
hotel is the ground donated to the
State by Mr. Postell as the camp
ground for our Georgia soldiers, who
will annually meet there for drill and
instruction. Wo have long wished
for a Long Branch on the coast of
Georgia, and very soon we will have
it on St. Simons’ Island.
How pleasant it is to see brethren
dwell together in unity, with a will
and determination to rebuild our
waste places. And why not ? .
Yours, very truly,

A Good Drink.
Lemonade is said to be one of the
best and safest drinks for any per
son, whether in h«alth or not, being
suitable for all stomach disorders,
and excellent in sickness. Lemon
juice is the best antiscorbutic remo
dy known. If the sums are .daily
rubbed yrith lemon juice they will be
kept iu health. By the daily use of
lemon instead of soap, chilblains will
be prevented and the hands kept
white, soft and suple. It is also said
that ncnralgia may be cured by rob
bing the part affected with a cut
lemon. It is valuable in earing warts
•ad removing dandruff on .the head
by robbing the roota of the hair.—
BY HIS BROTHER’S HAND.
A Bright Little Boy Is Killed by
his Older Brother.
The death of a .bright little child,
the pet ami joy of the household, is
always tferriblo to boar, but when ac
companied by such terrible circum
stances as the following, it is heart
rending indeed. ,
The family of Col. John R. Wil
liamson, living across the river, in
the Fanoy Blnff neighborhood, yes-
torday returned from church, and the
little six-year-old boy was placed on
a bed to tako' a noon-day nap, while
waiting the preparation of dinner.
Another of the children is a boy nine
years old, who shows unmistakable
signs of mental weakness. The re
port of a gun Was suddenly heard in
the, room where the little fellow was
sleeping, and the family rushed
thither in alarm. A sister was the
first to reach the door, and upon the
threshold she met the half-witted
boy, who said, in apparent uncon
cern, “Oh, it’s all right—nobody
hurt j” •
But her eyes told her better. On
tho bed lay the lifeless body of her
little brother, with his head literally
blown to pieces, and the bed saturat
ed with his blood and brains. ^
On closer examination, however,
the youthful fratricide admitted that
he had shot his brother, but, “didn’t
go to do it." The family are of course
almost crazy with grief over the ter
rible occurrence.
Favorable Side of Morimyiism.
question shorn
There are among the 200,000 Latter-
Day Saints in Utah no poorhouses
and not a single pauper. Nine-tenths
of them own the house they live in
and there is not a state in the union
whose citizens havedone so much,un
aided, for the education of their chil
dren. The Mormon population of
Utah,.in 1883, was 83 per cent of the
whole; the Gentile population 17 per
Cent Out of 61 convicts in the pen
itentiary 46 were from the 17 per cent
class and but 6 pf the 88 per cent
class. Prohibition is enforced where-
ever Mormohism prevails, add in.
thoso cases where the law cannot
reach a rumsellor the church, does,
and he is excommunicated if he does
not shut up hiB shop. Houses of ill
fame are not tolerated in any purely
Mormon settlement, and gambling in
every form is forbidden. Industry
Is everywhere apparent, and the Co
operative in-jiUulions are all pros
pering. Of suicides, homicides and
infanticides, over 86 per cent are
committed .by the anti-Mormons.
Women are allowed to vote 1 —this
measure ^qs adopted because tho
anti-Mormons said that if the wo
men had equal rights with the men
polygamy would cease; at once, 'and
in order to demonstrate the fallacy
of this reasoning tho women were
immediately enfranchised. ’
So much for the good sideof Mor-
monistn, blit it has a bad side, and
a very bqd one, too—polygamy. The
Edmunds bm 4s breaking up tlie per
petuation of tlie practice, but there
are, even!yet, many polygamists liv
ing in Utah. ^
