SUNDAY MORNING. IN SOCIETY. Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. Lollle Belle Wylie. I would, with folded hands kneel down tonight, Just as a little child, at His dear feet, ’ And from an humble heart, keen with the blight, The simple prayer of my lost youth repeat. With faith that oft has faltered, but remains Still strong enough to know that He will heed, I would forget all losses and all gains, And penitent, with child-heart, plead. The prayer I’ve lisped so many times I’d say, The simple rhyme, “I lay me down to sleep, And if I die before I wake, oh, may God take my weary soul and safely keep.” Tonight, from out the dim years soft ly steal A troop of memories, that gently wake My soul to sweetest music, and I feel, As when I knelt and prayed for Je sus sake.

The condition of Palmetto cemetery Is indeed a reflection upon the city of Brunswick and some of loose who own lots and have dead burled there. This place is now a wilderness of weeds and grass, and piles of trash are as numerous as the graves. The contrast between this naturally pretty but wretchedly neglected spot and the present appearance of Oak Grove cemetery is very marked. The great Improvement apparent in the latter, due to the persistent, united efforts of tne ladies who Interested l themselves In reclaiming It from a like condition, suggests the organiza tion of a similar society to work tnis sadly needed miracie in Palmetto eem etery. The cooperation of city author ities should he obtained and a band of our energetic and public spirited men and women should organize for ibis purpose. Exoepf'TlTtrfew Individual eases, the graves there are sadly neglected. Those few who tend with loving care the resting place of their loved ones are hampered by the negiect of others and by tne need of a regularly em ployed man to clean and care for tne cemetery and to guard the graves from the vandal hands that desecrate the graves and steal vases and flower* from them. The visitor to Oak Grove, or any one who has seen the beautiful, well-kept cemeteries In other towns is shocked when he views the abject appearance of tne other place. Its qualid .un attractive, neglectedness is a disgrace to the city and calls loudly for atten tion. ST. SlMON’social MOTES. Elliott Stevens is attending school in Jgpup this year. Mrs. A. G. P.

Topper and Company, Their Success is Now As sured. One of tne institutions in this eity in which all Brunswick feels a par donable pride is our steamer con nections to the east. The New Yors and Texas Steamship Company, better known as the Mal lory line, has for many years main tained a regular schedule of stemers between Brunswick and the great me tropolis—New York. Tne business of this company has grown out of its original limitations, and only recently its facilities at this port have been greatly Increased. In addition to this well known route tne Clyde line of steamers to Boston also call here and Hie route has be come a popular one with the larg • shippers of the eitv. The Clyde people made a specialty of freight traffic, and while all of tne steamers nre equipped for a limited number of passengers, they still cater to the freight business and in this con nection are extremely popular with tne shippers in this section of the country. The Mallory line Is the pioneer and favorite route, north and south. To Galveston, Brunswick and Mobile it runs some of the swiftest and best steamers afloat. And In addition to a very heavy freight business between -,ew York ami Brunswick, it gives an excellent passenger service, being the favorite route of many Florida tourists. The Mallory steamers cannot, be excelled for safety, convenience and comfort of passengers. They -auk among the first vessels of the coast wise trade. The officers are all of long standing In the service and am thoroughly, experienced. The stew arts are attentive and polite, the staterooms large and alrv, provided with electric eat! bells and the deck room spacious. These modern improve ments serve to make an ocean trip on these steamers genuine pleasure. In the matter 01 handling freight with despatch both linos have the best of facilities and promptness and care is always characteristic. Tile Mallory and Clyde lines have commodious offices at the foot of Mansfield street, which are in charge of Messrs. W, M. Tupper & Company, the local agents of both lines at this port, and all callers and shippers are well received and at all times ar# the recipients of very oouMToos treat ment at the hands of the representa tives of these two lines. In this connection tt may he of In terest to say that the offices in ques tion are finished in Georgia pine, and fully accommodate the increasing business of the two lines. A large warehouse adjoins the office building and the wharf room Is ample and com plete. Railroad spur tracks border the entire length of the Wharves and the facilities for recelying and dis charging freight are excellent. Messrs. VV. M. Tupper & Company, the locnl representatives of the lines, are well known business men of the eity and though they have only been in charge of the business for a few weeks, they have been signally suc cessful, and tut- chances are that both the Mallory and the Clyde will have n new era of prosperity under their management. The local force in the offices of the companies here Is composed of* ear nest workers, who delight in serving their employes and all in all tne ser vice of the two lines at this port are widl nigh perfect, ami The News wish es them an abundance success.

ATTHEGRAND The opera house In this city will lie opened next Friday night with an excellent attraction, Mrs. Brune, In "Unorna.” This attraction will be followed by Black Patti who heads an excellent company of colored performers. Black Patti herself is acknowledge the great est singer of her race. This attrac tion was here last season and made a great hit with both the white anvH colored theater-goers. The entire up stairs this year will be reserved for the colored people. Following Black Patti comes AI G. Fields with his great minstrel show, which will be here October 9. At Fields and his star pertormers are too well known to need description to Bruns wick theater goers. The triumph that has been won by Mrs. Brune, who will be Been here next Friday night on the occasion of the opening of the Grand Opera House in F. Marlon Crawford’s new play •'Unorna." has proved one of the sur prises of the present theatrical sea son. Mrs. Brune has been for some time an undertermined quantity in the dramatic world. People knew her as a clever actress, as a co-star with Frederick Warde, and in a number of standard characters played, generally, when she was immature, or when her surroundings were such that she could not be seen to advantage. In one night she has blossomed out into one of the greatest stars of the country, and critics are saying everywhere that she is one of the greatest actresses of our stage. Mrs. Brune has Known for a long time that she had talent. She had dreamed of occupying a position of importance on the stage, and now her hopes are about to come true. The critics are hailing her now as a genius, and Crawford's new play, the vehicle which she used in her sud den leap to fame, as an entirely new ami wonderful piece of stage litera ture. The reason for this is not far to seek. Mrs. Brune is possessed of one thing that many of her less fortunate sisters would give worlds to have, a dominant, winning personality. She has a tran > ? '' '' : - ■ . Act from scene I. scendent personal charm, ami has the rare power of at once obtaining the sympathy of her audience, of reach ing out, as it were, over the foot lights, and making them live tne story of a play with her. She sweeps them with her, instead of playing to them as if they were so many callous critics sitting in judgment on her efforts. She even carries the genuine critics with her in tills same way. so that, they are her warmest admirers. Jacqes Futrelle, tne dramatic critic of the Richmond Leader who is known as the most severe critic in the South has this to say after seeing Mrs. Brune in Richmond a few nights ago: “They say Mrs. Brune is the Amer ican Bernhardt. Site is more than that: she is the only actress in the country to-day who could have taken “Unorna’' to the sweeping success it achieved last night. She is not great as Mrs. Fiske is great, she is not great as Mrs. I.esite Carter is great; she isj great in her own right. She has an individuality which is strong and trembling, vivid and „uman. tense and coquettish. This is not talent, it is genius. It can't be acquired. It is inuorn and inbred. Despite the sup port of a comiiany which is far from being strong enough for its star, she swept all before her last night, and at the finis# happy and smiling as a child she received the congratulations of her manager. Tnen in “Unorna" t'ae stage has a new bit of literature. It will become a standard in its way; it is the great est emotional play written since Sar dou turned his pen to one. And it is novel. It is built along anew line. It deals witu occultism, not charlatan ism. It is the story of the love of a -woman in whom this strange power dwells from her birth, a fantastic pow er which gives her rule over man and beast touching at times the impossible and again descending to the utterly and hopelessly possible. Taere are scenes in it like scenes in no other ! play. The auditor has made a foot ball of hmnan emotions and has en acted a grand, sublime tragedy of the SEPTEMBER 28, heart.” The Richmond News, later saying that Unorna is a matchless analysis oi the divine sentiment—love —aud calling it a Itnely inspired romance, remarks: Mrs. Bruno's personation of “Unor na” stamps her as one of the most finished and powerful actresses of the stago. That a player of her precious quality and of a method as delicate, | precise and certain, should have been j so long from_her proper place in the j theatre, IST an interesting anomaly, as I well as a pregifhnt commentary on the stupidity of the dominant supersti tions. And to thins of the squads. eOmpan les and battalions of half-baked medio crites, imported and domestic, that have been exploited Into prosperous "stars” the while this brilliant woman has been manoeuvring for a cnanee to prove her real worth. There are few acresses who could equal Mrs. Britne’s impersonation of Marion Craw ford's heroine in its rigid consistency. Its exquisite shading, and above all, in its fiendish fascination. The specta tor followed every word, every glance, every gesture, every sway of the lithe, graceful figure, with spell-bound ad miration. It was the greatest of aM modern critics and poets who cunningly said that through its very lim.,ation gen ius reveals itself. "In dor Bcscnrank ling sselgt sich erst der Meister.” This recalls Mrs. Brune. Brune! a cruel short name, subtly curt and full of strange beckonings. Her limitations are admirabies. They sharply define her extraordinary talent. Her's is a tempered realism; a realism, which while it keenly feels -the nearness of our daily environment, also takes on the spirtual impress of the mystery motives. In her great ineluctlble eyes with their careless drooping lids, are sombre memories of mediaeval tra gedies. She is an intimate, psycholo gic actress, and tne processes of her mind aro almost audible. The tad of omission she has developed, and the things she leaves unsaid would furnish the repertory of a hundred actors. A HANDSOME DRUG STORE. ’ W. J. Butts' Establishment Will Rank With Any in South Georgia. As the public is well aware. W. Jen ! nings Butts, the well known drug gist, has lately made notable improve ments in the interior of his commo dious drug store at tne corner of New castle and Gloucester streets and it is now easily one of the most attract ive iu this section of the state. In the first place the entire store fias had an artistic touch of the painter’s art; new and unusually nandsome show cases and stands have neon Installed, while the soda depart ment has been supplied with a new set of neat little cnairs and tables, which add materially to the general appearance of this feature of the bus iness which is a favorite rendezvous for ladies and children. In this con nection it may he of interest to the patrons of this department to say that me soda fount, which dispenses de licious hot and cold decoctions in sea son', is one of the costliest in South Georgia and was built to order for tne concern. Mr. Butts carries in stock at ah times a very large supply of drugs and druggists supplies, whim are al ways selected with the single view of securing the purest aud most whole some on the market.
