BASEBALL FANS MUST
GET EVENING RETURNS
P. Horan has arranged to receive
daily baseball returns from the big
leagues and will start today so that
fans can get results each evening
shortly after G o’clock. Great inter¬
est is manifested here in the national
game and fans will no doubt flock to
Mr. Horan’s daily.
NEW POLICE UNIFORMS
HAVE REACHED HERE
At an early date the regulation
spring and summer police uniforms
recently ordered through A. J. Cor¬
don and which have reached the city,
will be worn by members of the de¬
partment and when Easter comes, if
not before, the men who watch
Brunswick by day and by night, will
don the stylish new clothes.
REGULAR WEEKLY DRILL
OF RIFLEMEN TONIGHT
This is regular weekly drill night of
the Brunswick Riflemen and Capt.
Exley, as well as other officers of the
command, expect a full attendance.
The recently elected new officers will
soon be right in harness and that the
company will maintain its standing in
the Georgia National Guard there is
no doubt.
FIRE LADDIES ENJOY RADIO
MORE AND MORE NIGHTLY
A source of great pleasure to the
members of Brunswick’s excellent fire
department is the radio set, (which,
by the way, is an excellent one and
among the best here. Not only the
fire fighters but many of their friends
drop in each evening and hear music,
sermons and, in fiurh, all (that is
broadcasted, and the time is, of
course, pleasantly spent.
MOVEMENT TO ST. SIMON’S
WILL START NEXT WEEK
While many have always Iwited un¬
til the early part of May to occupy
their cottages on iSt. Simon’s, the fact
that the St. Simon’s Transit Company
maintains a double daily schedule at
present, will cause a large number to
move over during the latter part of
next week. There is no doubt but
that the coming season is going to
be an excellent one, that is, if indi¬
cations count for anything.
HEAVY RAINS YESTERDAY
SWELL STREAMS NEAR HERE
The Altamaha and other freshwa¬
ter rivers in this section of the state,
had been receding for the past sev¬
eral days until yesterday and the
night before and are now swelled
again but net to the point where any
danger of damage will result. But
when the rivers are over the banks
fishing is 'anything -but p/iod 'and
many have been engaged in fishing
for cats for market, both local sale
and shipped and these have done very
well.
J. J. REGISTER DRAWS FINE
AND PROBATION SENTENCE
In the city court late yesterday,
Judge E. C. Butts fined J. J. Register,
well known iwhite man, $250, to in¬
clude cost, and twelve months on the
gang. The latter part of the sentence
was probated, however, on good be¬
havior. Register was arrested by
Chief IRegister and members of the
police department some time ago
when a quantity of smoke was found
on his premises. His wife was also
arrested but the case against her was
dismissed. The case against II. P.
Riiwlerson, who was also arrested in
the Register raid, was also nolle
' prossed.
