Judge Evans Absent.
Because of conflicting angles which
could not bo made to harmonize until
the coming week, It was the plan of
the committee to ask Judge Evans, of
the federal court at Savannah, to post
pone the stoppage of the road to Junk
town for a matter of one week by
which time It was believed all the
kink* would he straightened out. In
a manner of speaking tills was a sort
of last resort purpose, and there is no
doubt but that Judge Evans would
have ordered a continuance of afreet
car service for that limited period
But Judge Evans could not he reach

burial of the remains of his son. whs
was killed in France during the war.

It then became Imperative for the
committee to adopt other measures.

and progressive citizen to The New

of local*conditions, and in >

ed upon, ‘‘she will not encounter the
least difficulty in going out and selling
herself to others. The big majority
of Brunswick already is sold tb it*
self, hut not all, and therein lies a
retarding element more harmful than
people think.”,
The News believes not at all in this
frank and well meant criticism, and
its belief is proven every day by pro
gressive industries, merchants and
private individuals cooperating in a
large wav with this paper’s BiGOER

this paper might want to treat the va
rious subjects which enter into the
making of such an exhaustive publi
cation, but entirely as a committee ap
pointed by the Board of Trade might
desire them to be treated. This course
was determined upon by Mr. Logan
in order to obtain the largest possible
value for Brunswick. The wisdom
of this policy has been daily compli
mented since it entirely removes any
element of doubt that might have ex
isted in the minds of some as to the
full scope and character of the under

The work of collecting and compil

last Monday, and is being pushed as
rapidly as possible. The task is not
by any manner of means an easy or

anticipated by the management.
It is the frank belief of The News,
and the same view is entertained by
many, that when the publication Is
issued in October or early November
that we will have fathered the biggest

near Waverly, a few miles to the
