The Brunswick Times guar antees a larger circulation In the city and surrounding towns than any other Bruns* wick paper. Comparisons in vited and Investigation asked. Oklahoma’s first need is a morgue, then a erematory. Water is the cry now in Oklahoma. This means the whiskey has given out. F!t,t.en Tkrbv, itissaid, measures twen ty-eight iuohes around the waist. Really, this is terry-tying. Next. It is rumored that Mary Anderson is going to marry a young fellow named Abud. It is safe to say, at this time, that he is one of the kind that blooms in the spring. . So, Editor Whitelaw Keid has, indeed, resigned his position on the staff of the Tribune. President Harrison has de prived himself of a public secretary, in rewarding the editor in the tower. Mayor Grant, of New York, in jerk ing down the telegraph poles and wires of that city, has demonstrated that he is about as good a wire-puller as Jay Gould. And this is saying a heap. Jbsbr Bobson, the Washington county tux collector, who was charged and convicted of embezzling the funds of the county, has been pardoned by Governor Gordon. The way of some transgressors is not hard. It is to be feared that the citizens of this good community are not as thorough ly alive to the interests of the publio school question as they should be. Edu cation is a great thing, and its welfare should be jealously fostered. The merchants of Brunswick are stand ing np squarely to The Times, as our advertising columns will show. It is Lard to keep apart a level-headed mer chant and a good newspaper. The chemical affinity is too great. The Savannah News very prop erly says: “There is no particular reason why the case of yellow fever that has occurred at Sanford should cause alarm in Florida. TLe chances are that it is only a sporadic case. If it proves to be such, and its occurrence so early in the season seems to justify the opinion that it is, there will lie no danger of an epidemic. Cases have been known to occur in midwinter in New Orleans, but physicians there attached no special importance to them. The most of the Florida towns are now in a good sanitary condition, and, as the State now has an able and energetic board of health, the probability is that others will soon be as clean as it is possi ble to make them." The Business Man and the Newspaper. The newspaper and the business man sometime ago formed a copartnership, the sucoess of which has been dazzling. The business man was keen to recognize the good qualities of the newspaper, and the latter wus not slow to appreciate the good qualities of the former. Both united hands and fortunes and the re sult has been gratifying in the extreme. Let us pause for a while and consider the same of the good points in news paper work behind the counter. The Philadelphia Times, a very level headed and progressive journal, says on this line. •Tie development of the modern news paper has had no more remarkable effect than the change it has produced in the prevailing ideas with regard to advertising. Twenty years ago the tradesman who made known what wares he had to sell, except in the modest and general way, was looked upon with some ogree of suspicion, and the professional man who offered his services by public advertisement was condemned outright as ueoessarily a quack. The change from that day to this lias been almost oomplete, and yet it has come about very gradually, and there are some trades and professions in which traces of the old traditions still remain. “Long after the dealers in many kinds of merchandise had learned the value of advertising and had profited by it, there were almost as many more still governed by the ancient prejudice, who preferred to perish in respectable seclusion rather than invite the public to come to them. This was the case not only with lawyers and doctors, but with jewelers, tailors, dressmakers and many other trades that for some reason were supposed to flour ish only in the dark. The fashionable tailors long clung to the idea that adver tising was not respectable, and there are a few old timers yet who cannot bring themselves to anything more undignified than private invitations to their cus tomers, and look on aghast while young er rivalß HU the columns of the news papers with attractive descriptions of their goods and gather in the custom that used to go to them. ‘‘The thing to lie particularly noticed is how completely newspaper advertising has been separated from its association with an inferior class of trade. The freat advertisers now are the leading ouses, not alone in the extent of their business, but in its recognised character. The finest goods of every sort, the most fashionable clothing for men and women, tlie most cosily furniture, carpets and ornaments, that is rich and fine as well as what is useful and cheap, he expects to find described in the daily paper.” “And the result of this is beneficial both for the dealers and for the public. The largest and best advertisers are everywhere those that do the largest and best trade, while the facilities for shopping have wonderfully increased and the people buy more and better goods than they ever did before. They are better dressed, their homes are bet ter furnished, they enjoy more of the comforts and luxuries of life than at any previous period, and one main cause of this is [the general quickening of trade that naturally results from intel ligent advertising.” The Masked Ball In Nioo. Thursday night we went to the veg lione, or masked ball, at tbe Municipal theater, and it was decidedly gay. Everybody was there, from royalty down, and having pretty lively times, secure from recognition in mask and doipino. It is not every day one can lose one’s personality, so when a golden opportun ity like this presents itself one must be stupid indeed not to make the most of it. Pray don’t fancy for a moment that the ball was not perfectly correct; it was, it was—there were yards upon yards of ti tles; isn’t that proof conclusive? The toilettes were simply gorgeous—what difference does it make if some of them seemed designed to reveal not oonceal “the human form divine” —what signify the embraces that were not timed to music—the couples surprised iu interest ing tete-a-tete on the stairs or those who did not seek even that much seclusion, but took their kisses openly iu the ball room—mere nothings, airv trifles, my dear. I assure you this ball was con sidered quite the correct thing to go to, and everybody went, English and Amer icans included, and they did Hot go only to look on, either, much as they would have you think so. It really is funny to hear the two Misses B , who are invariably wall flowers at ordinary parties where they don't wear masks, tel’of the “perfectly lovely times” they have at these balls, of which they don’t miss a single one. I guess the poor things never had so much fun before in all their lives. You know wall-flowers are uot even possibilities at these entertainments, for the simple rea son that if the men do not invite the girls to dance, the girls ask them, or jig about merrily alone. There was one quadrille danced by a party dressed as clowns, who turned somersault* and danced al together qnito as much on their heads as on their heels. We left soon after that, but I hear that the ball lasted till day light, and they do say that Lord S had his hat picked off' toward 5 o’clock in the morning. Really, you know, my curiosity is aroused to know what the masked balls that are not correct are like?—Philadelphia Times. Some Rich American Citizens. Isrland Stanford is worth $40,000,000.

The report comes from Macon that sufficient evidenoe has been brought to light to transfer the suspicion of having murdered the Woolfolk family from Tom Woolf oik to Green Lockett, a negro.
