“What whistle is that?” was the
query from many lips yesterday af
ternoon, as the ears of the people
caught the sound of a strange engine
whistle. The employes, however, of
the E. T. V. A G. R. R. asked no
questions, but made thoir way di

The Satilla river country and
Camden county are essentially trib
utary to Brutuwlok, and our people
should know and be kpown to every
man living within | the - territory
reached by the river, and yet, though
the steamer Cracker Boy makes semi
weekly trips “up the Satilla’’ river,
very little or nothing is known ofithe
river or the country by a great num
ber of our people. This scribe was
last week of that class, but “be went,
he saw, and-came back” on Monday’s
trip of the Cracker Boy, and -bo now
writes a few scattering recolleetions
for the benefit of those who know less
about it than ho does, all others be
ing respectfully requested to refrain
from reading further.
THE SATILLA ;
Empties into St Andrews Sound
and through that noble and some
times tempestuous body of water we
go, turning to the right when
almost to Cumberland High Point
and entering the river at the south
western corner of the Sound.
The first landings arc the mills of
tho Hilton Timber and Lumber Com
pany at
sAtillaJbluff.
These are two separate and dis
tinct mills, about three miles apart,
operated by this Company, and each
capable of cutting from 25,000 to
30,000 feet per day. These mills are
under the personal supervision of
Mr. J. A. Foster, a member of the
>wn in. the isq
m
ing shekels for which all men do
strive. This is quite an important
adding, and is the gate of ingress
and egress for a large scope of coun
try, including the village of Tarboro
and'several turpentine stills and log
ging camps.
Right hero begins the rice field of
.Col. Geo. S. Owens, of Savannah, un
der the management of Mr. E. M. Ba-
ley. This is the largest field on the
riv$r, and stretches but 'over two
miles along the strewn.

lathe next stop, the property of Mr.
J. 8. Bailey. This is known to be
one of the best and “smartest” mills
in tho country. Everything pertain
ing. to its equipment is of . the best
construction and most convenient
arrangement A new labor-saving
device - lately- put in is a^ monster
blower" which takes every shaving
from the plauing mill and blows it
inti) the slab-pit, fifty yards away.
Tho proprietor,is now In Now York,
and tho Alii is under the charge of
Mr. James Dunwody, a brother of
Dr. J. A. and Messrs. Harry and
Monfoe Dunwddy. A large rlco field
also adjoins thB mill.
Beyond Bailey’s Mill only two
landings are made, Mumford’slsland
and Bull Head Bluff, about five miles
further. ■ ' ..
BULL HkAD BLUFF '
Is now practically nothing, although
a still or two and perhaps a Btorei get
their supplies from here. Messrs.
Fleming A Cay originally had a satr
mill located here, and the old mill
shed, residence and store still stand.

The Atlanta Constitution’s repre
Boutntivc hero last Friday has this
to say of our townsman and his work
on St Simons:
It is almost increditible that four
months ago the spot where the new
and beautiful hotel now stands was
a stretch of sand and bushes. The
building is rapidly nearing comple
tion and will be, when finished, a
very elegaut hostelry. It will open
June 5th, under the management of
Major Warren, of Atlanta. A large
force is now employed finishing up
the building and tho opening will
take place ns announced. 8t Si
mons, hotel is a monument to the
push and enterprise of Mr. Kay, who
by the by, is an Atlanta boy. It was
deemed impossible to build,, furnish
and equip a perfect hotel, with twen
ty cottages iu 100 days, but Sir. Kay
said it could be done, and ho hers de
monstrated the possibility.
man with but few peers and no supe
riors. These mills give employment
to many hands, and as a matter of
course, two thriving little villages
have sprung up around them. To
keep them in communication with
the outside world is a part of the
work of the . Cracker Boy. Be
tween the two mills is one continu
ous steep bluff, prjbably thirty feet
high (from which tho place gets its
name.) At the lower mills this
bluff is particularly striking, and
among the oaks which crown its
summit is nestled tho village, the
residences of Mr. Foster and Major
Dnve Bailey occupying tho most
prominent positions.
At these landings several faces fa
miliar in Brunswick were seen,
among them Mr. Foster, Capt. Tom
Scott, Major Duncan Clinch, Jr., and
Mr. George Bean.
Five miles further up the river the
Cracker Boy halts at
WOODBINE,
the residence and plantation of Mr. J.
K. Bedell—a pretty spot, with a high
bluff, while to the.right stretch away
his rice fields. On the opposite side
o&fhe river is the first field of Col. D.
L/Clincb, while his second and larg
er field follows next and covers hour
ly tho whole distance to
jeffersonton.
This place was once the county
Bite of Camden, being a village of
some importance, supporting seven
fiunily. The Colonel Ib a boW-legged
and bare-footed negro, who covers
his nakedness with a shirt and pair ,
of pants that showed as many patch
es. as there were square inches of
anrikee.
At this point the Cracker Boy
discontinues her voyage, but It is.by
no means the end of the river nor the
head of navigation. The Satilla is
a bold and deep strum, navigable
for steamers for more than a hun
dred miles from its mouth. Vessels
can load at Bailey’s Mills to a depth
of sixteen feet, and go to sea with
ease.
We have upon pur note book a
number of items, of varied length,
breadth and importance, picked up
on out way, but will defer them un
til to-morrow, after a profound bow
to Captain Clubb, Parser White and
Engineer Murray—three of the best
offleers in their respective spheres
that sail our waters—for.countless
