Lott is having plans and specifications made for a water mill, which he will build somewhere on the water front. The idea is one which Mr. Lott has been considering for sev eral years, and be is satisfied that it will be a success. Mr. Lott will have au artesian well bored, with the pipe extending 26 feet out of the ground. Under this pipe he will build a water wheel, 16 feet in diameter, and the water, with the added force of the ten-foot fall, will, he estimates, give a force of 1,600 pounds per second. This will give ample motive power for turning a mill with a capacity of at least 100 bushels of meal per day. Mr. Lott says there is great local de mand for Water-ground meal, and he proposes to furnish the local trade, and make shipments as well. Contractor Leonard is now figuring on the construction of the wheel. Grand Opening Of spring millinery and pattern hats selected by the best artists of New York.

HUNDRED BALES THIS YEAR’S CROP Chief Beach Now the Sole Owner of the Sea Isl and Farm. A FINE PIECE OF PROPERTY. Planting Will Begin on April I—Everything is In Excellent Condition—A Su garcane Patch- Chief Lewis W. been has bought Judge Rad Hitch’s interest in the sea island ootton farm on St. Simon, and Is now the sole owner of the val uable propei ty. And protection or no protection, Mr. Beach intends to plant more cotton than ever this year, and is now making preparations to that end. A Timks man had a recent oppor tunity of inspecting this pretty tract of fertile land and found located there a farm that is model in its equipments and complete in its details. Every requisite for the successful growing of long staple cotton is there, and it would be hard to find, in all this country, an agricultural enter prise more admirably arranged. The cosy dwelling-house, ware houses, ginhouse and machinery are all in the best condition. In short, everything is in the right place, and ready for the planting of the crop. Mr. Beach will plant this year 160 acres in sea island cotton and 25 acres in sugar cane. A yield of 100 bales of the long staple is expected this year. The land is in splendid condi tion, and there is no doubt that the expectation of 100 bales will be real ized. The two Messrs. Chirk will still have charge of the farm, and Chief Beach is fortunate in securing such experienced men as superintendents of his valuable property. The sea island cotton farm is an en terprise of which Glynn county is proud, and it is in the hands of the right sort of a man to get from it the very best results.
