The canvassing committee for the

at work. Up fconoonthey. had’ en-
.Caot, It has always been progress
ive in its ideas ever since Capt Bar
ney‘Dart first planted a saw mill
on the island. Tie has feally been the
pioneer of improvements down there,
and has been identified with the is
land all the time It is amusing to
hear him tell of bis experience in en
tertaining Mr. A. G. P. Dodge, Sr., in
his dirt camp, when Mr. D. visited
the island with a view to locating the
big mills there. Capt. Barney says'
his camp was made of poles leaned
up against a horizontal bar with
earth piled on top. He fed hia dis
tinguished guest on fried fat bacon
and corn bread moistened with
strong coffee, void of milk. In this
palatial residence were five- white
men and eight darkies.
Capt. D. built the first steamboat
on St. Simons, the little Ruby, and
run her for years as a ferry-boat hc-
ttuxu ih.1t island and Brunswick,
which lino lie has ever kept up. He
is now General Manager of the
street car and boat line, has worked
up the St. Simons encampment, and,
in short, is an important factor in all
that goes to make up progressive St.
Simons Island. All honor to tho pi
oneer. May* his reward be commen
surate with his efforts.

hold services at their usual places
of worship in order that all who
desired to do • so might attend the
services at the Methodist church
without apparent neglect of their
own services, but so far as tho Bap
tists arc concerned there was in its
proper’sense no “union meeting.” As
individuals some of us were present
and took part just as did many oth
ers, who are members of denomina
tions not mentioned, and still others
who belong tonochurch. It appears
to mo unfortunate that anything
should be either spoken or written
that would intimate a monopoly of
this work by any denomination,
any number of denominutious unless
the state of the case permitted, it.
So far as the Baptists are concerned
as a denomination or ns a church,
there is no stock company. So far
as individual members are concern
ed may God give them abundant
means and disposition to engage in
the work—so may he be members
of all and of no denominations. *

the tourist, refreshed,' com
mences bis trip ,to his destination,
either Cumberland or St. Simons,
and as Cumberland is an old and
well known resort-we will not tonch
upon its merits in this article, bat
will speak of another, whose claims
to popular merit are new.
The traveller to St. Simons has an
option of two routes to reach the
beach hotel, he can either take the
large passenger boat which will leave
from the wharf below the Oglothorpe,
or ho can wait a couple of hours nnd
take tho street car line to Dixville
wharf; have a pleasant salt of about
four miles by the handsomo little
steamer “Egmont” to tho light-house
wharf, and there he embarks on .cars
that are waiting, and after a mile and
quarter ride, skirting along tho
beach in full view of tho ocean, he is
deposited in front of the “Hotel
St. Simons.” Mind host, Mnjor
Frank Warren, tho manager, is
awaiting his coming, and prepared
with such a greeting, and such com
forts, ns few know better how to pre
pare. The guests sees fronting him
twenty beautiful cottages, with orna
mental verandas scattered arhiind
the 'hotel, with sixty guest rooms,
all built of wood. The hotel building
itself is three stories high with a
central fourth story and observatory
which gives a beautiful view of the
old ocean and surrounding islands
and inlets for miles; and not over 200
feet from the entrance of the hotel
the surf beats upon a beach 400 feet
wide, as smooth as a floor and
as hard as a rock; and with a very
great advantage of having no under
tow, making it entirely safe for surf
bathing.
Around three sides of tbo hotel
runs s wide covered veranda, and tho
first of the hotel is devoted entirely
to parlors, reception moms, offices
and dining rooms, ail frirnished in
modern style with a fine quality of
furniture, carpets, tiling, etc.,
throughout the house being In light
colors and woods, elegant taste aud
directly in
ford everything that the most exact
ing couid desire, and sufficient bath
ing houses and dressing rooms will
be erected upon the beach, so that
after coming out of the surf, those
who desire a fresh water bath will
have a choice of shower and other
baths, a novel and very desirable
feature, In addition a suitable sta
ble with good teams will afford op
portunities for beach drives; bowling
alleys, billiard {rooms, and other
sources of amusement will be at
hand, so that the pleasure seek
or will find during his visit ample
opportunities for enjoyment.—
At nights a band of music will fur
nish dancers opportunities of trip
ping tho light fantastic over the bail
room floor.
To those who prefer tho privacy of
a cottage to a room in tho hotel, 20
cottages scattered about the hotel
will give the quiet of home
with the advantages of the hotel
near by.
It is the desire of the owners of the
property, with the able assistance of
Maj. Warren and bis skillful corps,
that all who come to St.Simons beach
can go away and Jtell their friends
that the “half has never been told,”
for they realize that the time is right
when the Southern people should
have On a Southern coast facilities
for their enjoyment, for which they
have heretofore had to travel to East
ern beaches; and that those who are
sufficiently enterprising to offer to
the pleasure seeker what he requires,
and at figures within tho reach of
all, will reap a rich and lasting re
ward for their efforts.
Car Mules and
Propensities. .
Among the wonderful things
around town is the prowess of the
little Texas mules that go skimming
-“around the belt” day in and day
out with those heavy street cars and
never seem to tire. The little things
show such wondprfUl powers that
they challenge the admiration *ofali
who see them with'a car load of peo
ple go- skimming along as if
they had nothing hitched to them.
Having profound regard for the lit
tle midgets, we went np this morning
and interviewed/ Mr. J. C. -Moore,
who bps charge of the Btables, and
from him gleaned some useful infor
mation. He informed us that he bad

to fill up deflciences. Eaoh little
mule travels 21 miles- per day,'and
strange to say keeps as “fat as a but

witnessed the work of shoeing one of
thesS fellows and seeing that ( he had
to be confined in a close pen, and-
great precaution taken to keep his
mnleship’s tiny little heels from im
printing themselves oh the person of
the smith, we asked • Mr. Moore if
they never got tame.- “Never, sir,
never,” was his prompt reply. “Yoq
may work thenras long as yon please
and treat them as kindly as you please
but they remain Texas mules to the
very last”. Tfioy are certainly won-

Difficulty in Securing a Jury.
Jndge Brown sounded tho Sutton

al minor argnemehta by tho lawyers,
pro and con, by way of ejections, etc,
the work of impaneling the jury Whs
begun. Up to noon recess, 96 jurors
had been examined, of whom the fol ,
lowing seven were accepted to eit on

When the Court convened after

four additional were a worn: I

Thus eleven jurors have been.se-
