Foiur venturesome mariners arrived ini Hie city last night, having made the trip from Ocean City, Maryland, to Brunswick in a .small boat ia jnnt twenty days. The party consisted of Gus Bo:i??on,, Frank Ltutnoce, Hilaries Tas-aii, and a more hardy, brave and venturesome trio worn id be hard to find. The boat is a seventeen foot bateau of plain and .substantial make but hardly sufficiently stout in -genera] ap pearances to warranit tlie average land lubber 'vitii confidence in its sea going capacity. It was provided with a small 3 horse power gasoline engine. The party steamed out of Ocean City and struck out boldly down the bay out to to sea and remained out side until they reached Beaufort when they took tiie inland passage. They continued their way down tho coast stepping four days at Swansborb. Al ter leaving tills place they made for Wrightsvillo where they stopped for two days. At Southport they were running short of gasoline but they were unable to buy even a pint at .bis place. Tiie first rough weather they struck wa?; near Charleston aud they remain ed there continuing there passage a few days ago. The boat is too small to bear a name and the story of the four mar iners has to he told with out a name. Tho boat ia owned by Frank LSal*anco ol the party and till.-; is the first trip of the kind tiie craft has made aud the ownter and his companions are per fectly satisfied and pleased with the way she behaved.

The tact that they had encounter ed good weather made the trip an enjoyable one. While enroule they lived dni- hard tack and canned goods but when they went into camp they sjpread themselves a little and lived a great deal better. The party are on their way to the southern part of Florida where they will engage in net fishing. They wiil use tiie same craft for fishing and the expect to clear about siuu each on the venture.

ANOTHER COMPLAINT ENTERED. The News Will Probably Have to In augurate a “Kick Column.” Editor News: 1 wish to trespass on your valuable space long enough to enter a com plaint concerning some of the cus toms that obtain In Brunswick, and to ask if there be any redress for tbe victims of these customs. First and foremost, I wish to pro test against the very rural practice of tethering cows in the principal res idences squares and near tiie princi pal streets aud thoroughfares of this city. It would seem that people who are able to pay a man to milk and care for cows could require that tho man should tie these cow.s in some loss frequented place whero they can do ,110 damage either to tbe appearance of the squares and streets or to tho passers by. Due of these animals is daily teth ered in close proximity to a certain flower yard where she browses cheer fully ou tiie hedge and roses vines she easily reaches over the low fence The owner is impervious to omuplaints and seems for some reason to be im mune from any danger of the docket. The question of how much a cum nuinity or an individual should stand in the way of depredations from ma rauding cows and flocks of hens and other nuisances of this sort, should Mo defined by law. It is certainly tryin* trj labor lout” by having tme U.Jnoor’s chickens eat our choicest roses, thud and bloom) on - to have cows destroy ing flower gardens or making un sightly our residence squares and the sufferers intend to adapt drastic meas ures to remedy the trollies.
