The Council Last Night.
. The City CqtrtK.ll did not have its
meeting last night as advertised.
Tiie meeting called was a ipocial one,
to hear from Jtr, Bowditch, Strrerage
Engineer, toothing the system pro*
posed for oureity,and also to vote
upon the passage of Vrhat is known
as thq bond ordinance, said bonds
beingYor 1200,000, to run for thirty
years, and the cash derived (bom sale
of,-sumo to tfe applied to sewerage,
school buildings and city hall. The
engineer failed to materalize, so'con
sequently, no meeting was held,
CounoiU preferring to “go slow” in
this important step. If they .pass
the ordinance, then the citizens are
to y)te upon the question on the
27th—a three-third vote of all legal
voters being necessary to carry the
measure.
Mr. Bowditch is expected to
day, and the meeting of Council will
tako place to-night. Mr. Bowditch
is an expert and not a contractor,
so we can receive his statements as
Note* from the Fair.
Ths crowd was hardly as dense
Ihst evening at L’arioto as the night
before, bat they individually seemed
equally as happy; and the (kir maid
ens and little girls were Just as im
portunate in their requests that we
“take a chance" at this, that or tho
other articles offered.
free from any coloring arising from
a desire to secure a contract. -
The pantomimes formed an impor
tant feature again last evening—
“Becruit" bringing down the house
at every turn. His crowning pro-
ceedure, however, was during the
“night attack." He had come into
camp late and true to “substitute”
nature hpd captured a blanket from
his sleeping comrades and quietly
rolled himself 'in it as tightly as a
wounded limb with a bandage around
it When tho alarm came therefore,
his plight was a sad one, for he had
to roll all over the camp to get out
ef the blanket, during which process
he was several times rqn over by his
comrades. At this scene the ap
filanse shook the roof.
These bonds as stated abote are
for a three fold purpose—sowerage,
school buildings and city hall.
There is considerable diversity of
opinion on this* question, Some
are anxious, to secure sewerage only,
some want school buildings only,
some want both-, and some want none
—in other words are not willing to
bond tho city at all-seeing no ne
cessity for such a move. Some hol'd
that what is contemplated will in
crease our death rate instead of di
minishing it. .It is now the lowest
lave
1,000 inhabitants per year.
They claita that whilst sewerage
in itself is good, that typhoid fever
and* dyhtheria will come with it, not
because of sewerage but of bad
plumbing, that can'i be controlled;
some claim that the dry earth closet
is the only safe remedy, etc. Thus
we find a whole score of objections
pro and con besides the original
question broached of the legality of
issuing said bonds. The best legal
'talent and tho best medical talent of
this city are divided on these ques
tions, as well as our citizens gen
erally. We propose in this emer
gency that Council set a time and
secure L’arioso hall and invite the
opposing factious to meet them and
discuss the questions involved—not
the me.*.—and give tho citizens all
the light on these questions. Light
is what is wanted now by a great
many.
1st. Wo want to know if the sys
tem of getting rid of the filth, now
proposed, is the best method.
2d. If it is, then is the issuance of
bonds the cheapest way to get it.
3d. Is it true that our health will
be endangered by sewerage?
4th.. If the holders of our outstand
ing bonds, whidh must be retired be
fore we issue others, see fit to hold
them, how can you get them to deliver
them up without paying- two prices
for them? They are worth 115 now.
Who will insure that they won’t cost
200 before we get them?
These and similar questions are
put to us daily for solution. .Wo ask
that they be discussed coolly and dis
passionately by thos&who have stud
ied up the different sides, so that we
all can act intelligently. *
That Supper! Without doubt the
suppers fiin)i .'ic(l by the good ma
trons are the !>ost ever given' at any
entertainment offered in this city
that the writer attcuded. You have
a regular bill of fare, and call for
just what you want. The dish is
brought you and you can help your
self tSe good old-fashioned way..
Parties who can't attend can get a
supper by sending someone to the
hall for it. Just send your servant
and some dishes, and you can got a
royal supper sent you for only fifty
cents. ‘
We made mention in yesterday’s
issue that the burglars who entered
Wright's store had been caught at
Waycross. Wc should have said
that they were the ones who broke
into Haencl’s gun shop. Mr. Tom
Treadwell went up to Waycross af
ter them and succeeded in capturing
both and getting one of tho rifles and
several of the pistols. A good raw-
hide strapping would do these chaps
more good than a year in the peni
tentiary. Their names are Ranson
Welch' and Arthur Odliam, or Cobb.
Wood! Wood! Wood!
Wood is getting to be u big con
sideration with us in Brunswick, and
the man who offers it cheaper than his
neighbor at once gets the car of his
audience. Tho Brunswick Wood
Delivery company, under the man
agement of Mr. Cbas. Freund, comes
out to-day in a lively ad. in the
space selected by him sometime
since, and tells all just what he is
going to charge for wood. Read
his prices, and send in your orders.
His machines not only cut but split
the wood.

The North Georgia Conference,
held recently in Millodgeville, took
the right view of the public school
question. It passed n resolution ex
pressing sympathy with the move
ment to extend the public school
term to six months. Will tho South
Georgia Conference take similar ac?
tion? The Methodist people of
Georgia, mingling as thej- do with
the people of the cities and towns
and of the country, have an excellent
opportunity offlndiug out the pubiiff
needs, and their opinions aro entitled
to a great deal of respect. .

the discovery was made, but Georgia
