Near the Boulevard.

The land on ycifeh tie building
stands 'belongs to Mrs. M. Isaac and
Mrs. D. Glauber. W. B. Isaac is ag
ent for the owners and he is heartily
in favor of letting the club have the
neat little building.
Ot course it would be removed to the
links of the club out on the boule
vard and it would make a delightful
eiuli house for the golfers.

PARTNERSHIP OF
YOUNG LAWYERS
D. W. Krause and L. 11.
Shepard to Practice
Together,
Leighton Shepard, the well known
young Brunswickiain who, for the past
year or two, has been takng the law
and literary course at Emory college,
hap returned to the city and has
been warmly received by his many
Brunswick friends.
In connection with the return of
Mr. Shepard comes Die very interest
ing information of anew law firm,
which is to be formed at once and
which is to be known as Krauss &
Shepard, to be composed of Col. D.
\V. Krauss, the well known lawyer and
Mr. Shepard.
This announcement will be pleas
antly received in this city by the
large number of friends of both of
these very gifted young gentlemen.
Mr. Krauss has been a member of the
Brunswick bar for a number of years
and there are few young men who
have forged to fine front with more
rapidity, or more success than has
been the case with him. He has won
for himself an inviable reputation, and
has a clientele that would do credit
to an attorney ot many years prac
tice.
Mr. Shepard, the junior member of
the firm, as stated above has just
made his bow in the lagal profession,
but he has done so with distinction,
having stood at tile head of iiis class,
in good old Emory. He is an able,
energetic and with all studious young
attorney, and it is safe to predict that
the future holds an abundance of suc
cess for him.
The News very cordially congratu
lates the members of the new firm
and wishes for them the very fullest
measure of prosperity.

Just £ause for the
Shooting.
Eastman, Ga., June 10. —The coro
ner has held an inquest over the dead
body of Dr. Buchan, the verdict being:
“Justifiable homicide.”
In addition to the facts reported yes

dressed to the doctor by some wom
an in Atlanta.
A small som, Tom, had gone and
brought the mail. The wife saw the
letter before the doctor did and took
charge of it. which was a second let
ter from the same woman and would
not let the doctor have it, He insisted
but she refused, so a tussle ensued,
in which he tried to force her to give
him the letter. She held the letter
last and Ogletree heard him say lo
her in great fury that lie would have
that letter or kill her, the children
and himself, and burn the house down
on them all.” About Dial time the
doctor and wife scrambled into Ogle
tree’s badrooni. The wife calling Og
letree to take the pistol she had,, so
the doctor could not carry out the
expressed intention to kill her.
The doctor then grabbed the hum! of
his wife with his pistol and urenv it
up to her face, having his other arm
around her neck. Ogletree thought
her throat was being cut. and he
jumped out of bed, took Iris own pis
tol from unde.- his pillow and shot
his father to prevent the death of his
mother.
Ogletree disowns any intention to
kill his faher, but says lie only in
tended to wound him so as to save
his mother’s life. The wife and five
children survive. ,
Ogletree has always been a mod 1
boy and seems heartbroken over the
horrible tragedy.

MS OF CLUBS
The Brunswick Organiza
tions That are Doing
Good Work.
By Col. C. P. Goodyear.
The New Town sbeiety and the
Men’s club, the first with a six
months’ record, and the second just
organized, are movements of doep in
terest to the people of Brunswick with
possibilities of usefulness to all class
es limited only by the support re
ceived.
The New Town society, originally
an organization of a few citizens of
New Town, founded for mutual use
fulness and mutual Lcuefit, never
has missed a weekly Monday uight
meeting. Its membership has steadily
increased, until it now has on its
rolls an active membership ex*etdiny
To members, electing live new mem
bers at its last Monday night's
meeting.
The exercises usually consul, afier
business matters have been disposed
01, to debates on live questions aud oc
casional lectures by well known citi
zens and short talks or readings on
historical subjects, which have punch
to be both interesting and instructive.
Indications point to a constantly
increasing membership and intuiooi
in the association. A library lias been
gathered together by donation, loan
and otherwise; innocent games have
been provided for the entertainment
ol' the younger members, and, by vol
untary action, the members of the so
tlio rooms aie kept open every
night in the week except Sunday.
'i lie Men’s club, organized largely
through the exertion oi He*. Wyliys;

upon broad lines of useful 1 ness to the
men of Brunswick, and invites ail
men from IG years of ago upward, lo
participate in vi.e a.
Mon's club meets monthly; the Nev.

the same mission- the iiiiprovcmem
and moral uplifting of the people by
association, interchange of ideas, cul
tivation on the habit of thinking on
liie feet in public and of generally
broadening the public mind.
l iie two organizations are nut com
petitors; both arc organized lor a gued
i> :i pose, a wiser, more healthy, more
hope, more progressive citizenship,
and they are sure lo succeed.
There is and will no politicos oi
any kind in either organization. No 1
motves except public anu private bene
ii.i and helpfulness.
Surely these two movements should
j command erncst, enthusiastic and
; honest support from every citizen who
has civic pride, city patriotism and
who is it that lives i-n this oily so fa
vored by natures God can be lucking
either oi these?
