There are two results. First, it is
authoritatively stated that the Con

will gather to himself his friends and
start anew paper.

FROM ONE PULPIT
FOE TWENTY YEARS.
Rev. Henry E. Lucas, Rector of
St. Mark’s, Brunswick’s
Oldest Pastor.
STORY OF HIS WORK IN THE CITY.
Today He Rounds His Twentieth Year of
Service and Will Preach a Retrospec
tive Sermon on Sunday.
Today marks the close of the twen
tieth year of consecutive service of
Rev. Henry E. Lucas, as rector of St.
Mark’s Episcopal church, this city.
Mr. Lucas came to Brunswick in
1877, and has, since that time, with the
exception of short vacations, been
steadily at his post of duty, gaining
the love and esteem of his congrega
tion and of the public generally.
During this period of his local pas
torate Mr. Lucas has officiated at 380
baptisms, attended at 227 confirma
tions, joined 81 couples in tin* bonds of
matrimony and read the last sad rites
over 216 graves.
The venerable pastor was in his
comfortable study yesterday with Rev.
A. G. I*. Dodge when a Times man
called and asked him for a review of
his long local ministry.
“It is quite a long time to look back
upon,” he said. “When I first came to
Brunswick the church building stood
in an open field. It has been siuce en
larged, and the rectory and the Sun
day school have been built since I
came,
“During the first eight years of my
ministry I bad the St. Simon congre
gation also under my charge.”
“And,” interrupted Rev. Dodge, “he
is still the idol of the St. Simon peo
ple who knew him as a pastor then.”
Mr. Lucas was born in England, but
came to America as a wider field for
the work to which he bad consecrated
his life. He was made a dean in 1870
and a priest in 1871. Before coming
to Brunswick be served as dean of the
convocation of Savannah for several
years.
One of his most important works in
his Brunswick pastorate was the or
ganization of the St. Athanasius mis
sion, now conducted by Rev. J. J. P.
Perry. This mission was formed in
the Sunday school room of St. Mark’s.
The many good deeds which this
veteran in the Master’s service has
done in the twenty years upon which
he will look back retrospectively today
could not be told in any newspaper.
They are preserved, however, in the
memories of those who know him and
have felt the gentle influence of bis
Christian life.
On next Sunday morning Mr. Lucas
will deliver a sermon reviewing bis
twenty years of work in Brunswick.
The service will be a notable one, and
his parishoners, old and young, will
gather to grasp his hand, and wish
him many more years of usefulness.
A special program of music has been
arranged for this occasion.

a pair of our tan vici kid lace shoes for

After the Drum.
\
The little steamer Ruby left her
wharf at 1 o’clock this morning,
hound for the drum fishing hanks off
Cumberland. On board were Captain
U. Dart, Captain Ernest Dart, Justice
Lambrigbt, Dr. I. N. Bishop and
brother, Captain B. A. Fahm, Messrs.
Cecil Dart, Will Colesberry and J. W.
Denby. They will retnrn Thursday.
The Coveted Place.
The contract for the management
of Hotel St. Simon was not signed
yesterday, although, as announced in
yesterday’s Times, it is very probable
that Jack Clancey will be the man ap
pointed. Mr. Clancey will go to St.
Simon today to look at the property.
BEST SEASON OVER.
Jekyi Clubhouse Closed After a Win
ter of Gay Crowds.
The Jekyi clubhouse has closed for
the season. The help is returning
north and the resort will soon put on
its summer appearanoe.
The season has been the most bril
liant in the history of Jekyi. On sev
eral occasions, guests had to be turned
away for lack of accommodations.
Superintendent Grob, Captain Clark
and their assistants, have had about
all they could attend to.
Such prominent men as Chauncey
M. Depew, Robert T. Lincoln, Mar
shall Field, Joseph Pulitzer, J. Pier
pont Morgan and Calvin S, Brice
have been among the winter’s visitors.
Hunting and fishing have been very
good, and the wealthy guests spoke io
highest terms, before departing, of
the manner in which they were enter
tained.
The season has been marked by one
sad event —the first death of a guest to
occur on the island—that of Dr. Hoff
man.
The latest thiug in men’s oxblood
lace shoes can be found at Palmer’s.
SHOULD CONTRIBUTE.
Brunswick Must Have the Pythian
Grand Lodge Next Year.
As already published in The Times,
the local lodge of the Knights of
Pythias are using their utmost efforts
to secure the encampment of the
grand lodge for Brunswick next year.
Whether they will give the invitation
or not depends entirely upon what our
business men are willing to do toward
helping provide entertainment.
Perhaps many of the merchants do
not fully realize the benefit that would
result both to the city and to them
selves if the encampment is secured.
The fact that there will be at least
2,000 visitors ought to warrant any of
them in subscribing a few dollars. It
will be evidence of a lamentable lack
of enterprise and public spirit among
our citizens if this opportunity is al
lowed to pass.
The most comfortable shoes you ever
wore are Palmer’s tans, plain toes,
common toes, needle toes. Come and
we will fit you.
LOOKING AT PLANS.
Commissioners Had an All Day Ses
sion, But Didn’t Get Through.
The county commissioners held an
all day session yesterday, looking at
the plans submitted for anew court
house, A number of architects were
present, and the commissioners had
fifteen sets of plans before them. They
did not finish the examination and
comparison of the various propositions
yesterday, and will hold another ses
sion today. As soon as they come to
a decision, they will advertise for bids
tor the construction of the style of
building determined upon.
Some of the designs submitted are
very handsome, and Glynn county
would have nothing to be ashamed of,
should either be selected.
Plea For His Life.
The remitter from the supreme court
in the Lowry murder case was received
by Deputy Clerk Lehman yesterday,
who notified Judge Sweat,in order that
he may set a date for resentencing the
old man to death. The case, in the
meantime, will go before Governor
Atkinson, on a plea for executive
clemency, filed by Attorney G. B.
Mabry.

men.
General Floyd King, who will b 8
marshal of the day is arranging for
the biggest observance that Bruns
wick has ever seen. With the visiting
military and a speech from General
Evans the day will be one of interest
to all the people.
WHY NOT GRAINP
A Western Man Talks of the Possi
bilities of Our Port. s
A reporter for The Times yesterday
interviewed a Kansas City gentleman
who is connected with one of the larg
est grain firms in the west. His house
does both domestic and export grain
business on a very extensive scale. He
said :
“Our firm exported more than 2,080,-
000 bushels of corn alone this winter
through New Orleans and Galveston,
and l see no good reason why Bruns
wick cannot soon take a high stand on
the list of grain shipping ports.
“The fact that you have as good a
harbor as any city on the south Atlan
tic or gulf is commanding widespread
recognition. Your port is also much
nearer Kansas City than New York,
Baltimore and Norfolk, and the only
reason why grain is not exported here
is that you have no elevator. This ren
ders it an impossibility to handle grain
in large quantities or as cheaply as
ports where there are elevators.
“If one of your railroads would build
an elevator of adequate capacity it
would not be six months before £rain
would be going over the bar by the
shipload. If your railroads pretend
to co-operate with steamship lines
with a view of working up export
trade, they are neglecting the most
important line by not building eleva
tors for grain.”
No comments are necessary on the
above self-evident truths.

There is much interest in the trot

between Carroll’s “blaze face”and Leh
man’s mare. The purse is sso,and much
money has been staked. L. V. Car
