NOTICE.
On and after May 1,1897, all notices
emanating from the oflice of the or

Horace Dart,
Ordinary, Glynn County.
The Americus Herald has just cele
brated its second birthday.
Harold Sewall, who changes his
politics every time he gets annoyed,
goes to Hawaii with a McKinley com
mission.
Social life at United States army
posts must be a cesspool ot scandal,
slander and infamy, if the Port Mc-
Pherson revelations can be taken as a
sample.
Moss succeeds Roosevelt as the dic
tator of New York’s police depart
ment. He is Parkhurst’s attorney,
which issuilicient recommendation for
his experience.
The Reform club dined, wined and
listened to a number of able statesmen
at the Waldorf last night. The din
ner was good, the wine was old and
the speeches were full of practical po
litical wisdom.
Street Commissioner Haffen, of
New York, ought to be hung. He an
nounces an intention to tear down the
famous Edgar Allan Poe cottage on
the Kingsbridge road, to make room
for a bicycle path. “Sentiment!” says
Haffen; “Bosh! Sentiment will not
do in these days where public im
provements have got to go.” IlaffeD
is merely emphasizing the belief that
the present public oflicials of New
York make up the finest aggregation
of prize chumps ever in existence in
this country.
Tuk Call had its little joke in Satur
day’s issue, and doubtless feels re
lieved after its effort. The Call
should, however, have, like The Times,
enough bona fide praise to satisfy it.
without making a compliment where
none was intended. If it hasn’t there’s
something lacking with either the
public or the Call—presumably the
latter. Asa sample of a real nice, de
served compliment,chosen from among
many, the following from the Augusta
Herald is respectfully commended to
our morning contemporary:
The Brunswick Times leads off by
printing its Sunday edition in colors.
THE TOWN AND THE RESORTS-
The Advertiser urges that the citi
zens of Brunswick begin active work
to secure the next convention of the
state agricultural society for St.
Simon. The citizens of Brunswick
should do no such thing. They should
begin active work to secure the con
vention for Brunswick. The Times
believes in doing all that can be done
for the benefit of our neighboring re
sorts, but not always to the exclusion
of our town. Cities build resorts; re
sorts do not build cities. Let Bruns
wick get the convention and give the
delegates opportunity to visit the
islands. This would help both and
shut out neither.
A WAR OF HEROES.
An heroic figure has entered the
war ranks of the East, Osman Dasha,
the veteran of Plevna, who taught the
Russians how an Ottoman could direct
an army, has been called from his re
tirement and placed in command of
the soldiers of the sultan. He is, so
far as actual history has proven, the
greatest fighter in Europe, and the
friends of Greece may well tremble,for
the enemy has a mighty leader, and a
fearless one.
But the present war will be favora
ble to the development of heroes, and
from the brave brigades of Hellas there
will doubtless step forth a later Leon
idas to glorify another Thermopylae -
MEMORIAL DAY.
.- __ -
The memory of the soldier dead is
sacred in the south, and ever will be,
though the spirit of these swift days is
to decry the influence of noble senti
ments. Our respect for the dead he
roes grows greater as the number of
the living decreases, and there is no
indication, in the annual observance
of Memorial day, that the south is in
any degree forgetting the deeds of
those who upheld her cause on the
fields of battle.
Brunswick will fittingly pay tribute
to the memory of these heroes tomor
row, and by the presence of one of the
best beloved of the living will do
added honor to the dead, The Ladies’
Memorial association is particularly
fortunate in securing Gen. Clement A.
Evans as the orator of the day, and
also in having Gen, J. Floyd King to
arrange the exercises of the occasion.
Avery impressive military parade
will be a feature of the day. No city
in Georgia will have a more creditable
observance of the sacred day.
THE MOVEMENT FINDS THE MAN.
When The Times, with the assist
ance of a few staunch supporters of
South Georgia’s claims, set the wire
grass gubernatorial ball rolling state
houseward, it made no expression of
personal preference in the matter of
choosing a standard bearer for the
movement. The real issue was not
one of persons—it was based on the
fact that the southern tier of counties
had waited vainly for many years for
representation in the governor’s chair,
and that the time had come for this
section to assert its rights and claim
its overdue recognition.
The press of all sections of the state
took up the discussion, and, with few
exceptions, assented to the justice of
the claim. The wiregrass movement
became statewide, and now embraces
every section from the mountains to
the sea.
Naturally, those who champion the
cause have begun to cast about for the
man best fitted to head the movement.
The remarkable unanimity with which
they have expressed a preference for
Fleming G. dußignon, of Savannah, is
not only a great honor to that gentle
man, but also a compliment to the good
judgment of those so agreeing.
The Times has asserted that the
wiregrass movement is no longer sec
tional. In proof of which, witness the
following from the Cedartown Stand
ard, which is published away up in
Polk county:
Georgia does not elect a successor to
Governor W. Y. Atkinson until next
year but already there is a great deal
of thinking and talking as to the for
tunate statesman upon whom the man
tle of succession shall fall.
There is no dearth of material from
which to choose a standard bearer for
democracy, and there is such an
amount of really excellent gubefnato
rial timber that it would be difficult to
choose were it not for the fact that
one distinguished gentleman stands
so pre-eminently above other prospec
tive candidates in ability, popularity
and party service as to make his selec
tion seem an almost foregone conclu
sion.
We refer, of course, to that brilliant
statesman aud staunch democrat, Hon.
Fleming G. dußignon, of Savannah.
It is uo sense of disparagement of
the merits and claims of other aspir
ants that we make this reference, but
the logic of the situation points so
strongly to Mr. dußignon as to make
bis nomination and consequent elec
tion appear almost a certainty.
South Georgia claims the governor
ship next time, and there is justice in
her demand, for South Georgia is the
stronghold of democracy. Mr. dtißig
non and his section excelled all other
portions of the state last year in their
work for the party, and the apparently
unanimous choice of "wiregrass Geor
gia” for Mr. dußignon for governor is
entitled to the respect of the entire
state, while all Georgia democrats can
not fail to admire the loyal manner in
which Mr. dußignon sacrificed bis own
THE TIMES: BRUNSWICK, GA., SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 25, 1897.
personal views and aspirations in or
der to actively support the nominees
and declarations of the majority of
his party.
Mr. dußignon is a gentleman who
would fill the gubernatorial chair ac
ceptably, and his superior intelligence
and unblemished integrity would be of
good service to the people of Georgia.
The editor of the Standard is quick
to recognize the fact that South Geor
gia has earned the light to ask the
privilege of naming the next governor.
And South Georgia will name him.
GONE, BUT STILL REVERED-
The followingeditorial, published in
The Times in 18S9, was written by
John Locke Martin, who is well re
membered by Brunswickians. It is
reproduced not only for its excellence
but for its appropriateness to Memo
rial day:
“Today the scholar closes his book
and the laborer leans upon his spade.
“Today earth receives a nobleman
into its keeping, and a people, sad of
heart, sore of soul, gather about ar
grave which takes from their sight,
but not from their hearts, a form ma
jestio in life and royal in death.
“Today there lies down in the si
lence of the tomb one whose life went
out as softly, as calmly, as quietlj, as
come the dews, or as slips the twi
light beneath the tent of night. The
going out of that life, whose leave tak
ing we mourn today, was as beautiful
in its farewell as it was peaceful and
victorious over pain and rack of body.
Out of the earthly tenement went that
great soul as fades far out at sea, the
little snow white sails blown to
thither shores.
“Sometimes we gather about unan
swering lips and unthrobbing hearts
and question death:
“We know what moons shall wane,
When summer birds from tar shall cross the
sea,
V\ hen autumn’s hue shall tinge the golden
grain;
But who shall teach us when to look for thee?
“But not today. We knew the end
was near to this stormy life. We
knew that the sun was going down
and the tempest was at a lull. We
knew that soon the silver chord that
bound this heroic spirit to earth was
to be loosed and the golden bowl
broken. Our ears bad heard the rustle
of Azrael’s wings and upon our eyes
had fallen the light of the day eternal.
“But when the summons came; when
the message went swiftly over the
southland that in the metropolis of a
sister state the Thunderbolt of war, he
who was the incarnation of virtue, the
beloved of a people chivalric to the ut
most, was dead, there cams a cloud
upon the sky, a mist before the eyes
and lead in every heart.
“But of this man : Mr. Davis is one
of the colossal figures of the age; aye
of all ages. Could he but be measured
by the standard of full rounded suc
cess not one of the world’s great ones
would outrank him; and even in the
umbrageous light of that setting sun
which went down at Appomattox, he
towered against the sky of history in
magnificent proportions. Amid the
ruins of the nation which rose in
splendor and went down in tears and
glory, he is grander than Marius in
Carthage, Belisarius in the streets of
Constantinople, Napoleon dialling on
sea-girt Helena. He was the prince
liest of men, the ideal of cavaliers, the
Jovian statesman, the most persuasive
of gold-tongued orators. Had he
lived in the days of Epaminonidas, his
home would have been loftiest on
Olympus and the Bard would have
sung a nobler than a'gis-bearing Jove.
“In the days when knightly cavaliers
rode hot and true in joust of arms
higher than Arthur’s would have
waved the plume of Davis and firmer
than Launcelot’e would have poised
his lance. Ia him were the exaggera
tion of all the virtues, and his was the
heritage of all the kingly and master
ful forces. Whether storming the
heights of Monterey, leading the for
lorn hope and saving the day at Buena
Vista, or compelling a Benton in the
United States senate to admit, for the
only time in bis life, that be was
wrong; or whether facing the storm or
fury of a conflict the magnificent
splendor of which the world gives no
parallel; or whether defying his inso
lent captors in the dark fortress cell;
or whether in the quiet serenity of his
home, with his loved ones about him
—where Is the figure which overtops
this man, whose body today will be
borne away to the rest of the grave?
“What loyalty to principle nerved
him through all the years and upward
flight of his eagle course! Swerve
Jell'erson Davis from what he held to
be the right? Sooner try to prize the
Alps from their base or extinguish the
sun with the waters of the restless
sea! Was there no mistake possible
to this man? There was, but making
them only drove deeper the roots of
his life into the granite of eternal ver
ities.
“He was the slave of conscience, the
quick-paced servant of duty, the swift
servitor of truth.
“Strange and strong life this, a mys
tery in its ending, an epic in all its
fullness. Let not his traducers mock
the lion thus laid low :
“‘Speak, History! who are life’s victors? Unroll
thy long annals and say—
Are they those whom the avorld ca'led the vic
t'rs, who won the success of a day?
The martyrs or Nero? The Spartans who fell at
Thermopylae’s tryst,
Or the Persians or Xerxes? His judges or Soc
rates? Pilate, or Christ?’
“But, listen ! The bell tolls out the
requiem and across the land there
comes the sound of falling tears. The
grave opens to receive all that is mor
tal of our great Leader. Letusgatber
reverently near and do homage to the
dead.
And yet
“‘He lias not died; there tsno grave for glory,
No shroud, no coffin, no imprisoning clay,
All that is mortal ot him lies in ashes,
All that is best of him is ours today.”*
The old story of Prometheus is a
parable. Trometheus was on terms of
intimacy with the gods. From them he
stole fire, and gave it to men. For this
sin he was bound to the rocks of Mount
Caucassus, and vultures were set upon
him. They only ate his liver. This
grew again as fast as it was picked
away. Are his sufferings to be imag
ined?
Take a modern interpretation of the
parable. There is no cooking without
fire. In cooking and eating the mis
chief lies. The stomach is overtasked,
the bowels become clogged,they cannot
dispose of the food that is given them.
The impurities back up on the liver.
Then comes the vultures— the torments
of a diseased liver. Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery is more than equal
to the vultures of dyspepsia and its
kindred diseases. There is no more
need of suffering from dyspepsia than
there is of hanging one’s self. Sold

over.

SUNDAY THOUGHTS
[From Canon Farrar’s Year Book ]
Thou art not tar from the Kingdom
of God.—Mark xii 34.
To such a nature as that of the
scribe—a nature not ungenerous, if
faulty, how precious, bow healing
wouid these words have been. Ob!
let us not be all so afraid of words of
hearty encouragement and honest
praise. They reinspire the failing ef
forts; they fall with the dew of Heaven
upon the fainting soul. The sunbeam
touches the mountain, and with its
touch the heavy load of winter which
the hurricane could not dislodge, melts
and slips insensibly away, and where
yesterday was snow, today is green
grass and gentian flower. It is even
so with words of sympathy, which are
so rare, alas! while they can cheer
or bless us, but which only, w hen they
are useless, fall like dust over the
buried dust. It is something to ab
stain from slander and censormnanpss,
and the bard luxury of injustices;
something to be like that good man
who passed everything which he had
to say of others through the three se
ries: Is it just? Is it necessary? Is
it kind? But it is more to be like
Christ, to be generous and cordisl, to
have the glow of sympathy” with the
“bloom of modesty;” not to be too vain
to appreciate; not to be too envious to
help and cheer.
***
[From Bishop Phillips Brooks’ Year Book.]
If any man offend not in word, the
same is a perfect man, and able also
to bridle the whole body.—James ni-2.
Be profoundly modest. Never dare
to say, through ardent excitement or
conformity to what you know you are
expected to say, one word which at
the moment when you say it, you do
not believe. It would cut down the
range of what you say, perhaps, but it
would endow every word that was left
with the force of ten.
But why are we so glad to talk and take our
turn to prattle
When so rarely we get hack to the stronghold
ot our violence
With an unwounded conscience?
Our talk is often empty, often vain.
This comfort from without
Is no small enemy to that from God w hich
speaks to us within.
So we must watch and pray,
For fear our uays go idly liy.
If you may talk, and it be best for you.
Talk and build up the soul;
But evil habit, and carelessness about mu
prattle.
Make us neglect the doorway of our month.
Yet holy communing about the things of God
leads us no little
Way aloDg the spiritual road
And most of all when man meets man
Like to himself in heart and mind, like to him
self—in God.
—Thomas a Kempis.
When a person is losing flesh and
wasting away there is cause for alarm.
Nothingso worries a physician. Con
sumptives would never die if they
could regain their usual weight. In
fact there would tie no consumption if
there was no wasting of the system.
The cause of this loss of flesh is a fail
ure to properly digest the food eaten.
Nine-tenths ot all our diseases date
back to some derangement ot the
stomach.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial will
stop this wasting of the body. It acts
by causing the food we eat to be di
gested so as to do good, for undigested
food does more barm than good. The
Cordial contains food already digested
and is a digester of foods as well.

LAMPS AND CANDLES.
There Is an Art In the Managing of
Them.
The most effective cleansing sub
stance for the containers aud wick ap
paratus consists of on] in ary wood ash.
This has a peculiar effect upon petro
leum, crystal and other oils of the same
kind. Rub the ashes well all over the
parts that require cleaning and polish
or wipe it off with a clean, soft cloth.
This is a very simple method and obvi
ates the use of water, which may prove
a serious difficulty, especially if the op
erator is not very particular as regards
the drying process. This treatment
shonld not, however, entirely do away
with a periodical boiling of the differ
ent parts of the lamp with strong soda,
hut the regular use of wood ash should
make the washing a last resource and
an altogether rare necessity.
The strictest cleanliness in every de
tail concerning lamps is of the greatest
importance not only to insure a good
light free from smell, but also as a pre
ventive against danger. Odd bits of
wick allowed to collect anywhere near
the flame, for instance, are objection
able from every point of view.
Lamps that are but rarely used shonld
not bo left with the wick to become sat
urated through contact with the oil.
The best plan is to empty the container,
clean it as above, dry the wick if it is
new, and put it aside in a box, into
which dust cannot penetrate, till it is
wanted again.
For these days, when candles are so
much used, it is well to know that there
is an art in choosing them. They should
burn brightly, steadily, and without
flickering, yet at the same time dwin
dle away as slowly as possible. The can
dle that gutters is to be avoided as ex
travagant and worthless. The best of
all are those which are partially hol
lowed out, so that if the flamo is ex
posed to a draft tho melted wax runs
down the inside. A thin, close wick
will always burn better than a thick
one. One of the cleverest contrivances
adapted to candles is a metal automatic
extinguisher. It can be fixed to any re
quired depth of the candle, say one inch,
more or less, and as soon as that quan
tity has burned away two motal rings
close over the flame and effectually put
it out. Something of tho kind has al
ready been seen, but the newer patent
is much more practical, from the very
‘fact that it can be fixed to any part of
the candle instead of being placed in the
candle holder, for in the latter case it
could not act until tho iiluminant had
quite burned down, when the extin
guisher was obviously of doubtful util
ity.—San Francisco Chronicle.
The Fur Seal as an Animal.
Mr. David Starr Jordan, president of
the Bering sea commission for 1896,
and George Archibald Clark, secretary
to tho commission, say in The Forum:
Tho rualo fur seal, or “beachmaster,”
reaches full maturity at the age of 7
years. At that time his weight is about
400 to 500 pounds, being considerably
heavier when first in from the sea in
tho spring or after feeding in the fall
than in the intervening period, when
ho fasts on land and grows gradually
lean and weak. The males vary consid
erably in color, the general shade being
black or dark brown, with longer liair
or bristles of yellowish white. These
are especially loug and numerous on the
thickened back of the neck, forming the
so called “wig. ”
The wigged males have a rough,
coarse coat, and their skins are without
market value. The animal makes its
home on the rocky shores of the islands
in large, closely massed bands, forming
what are called “rookeries.” It is ex
tremely gregarious, individuals seldom
venturing far from the main body while
on land, though wandering about singly
in the sea.
“Yes,” she said bitterly, “I must
confess that he deceived me as to iiis
habits.”
“Does he drink or gamble or any
thing of that kind?” inquired tiWj)ther.
“No. Before we were wed he lea me
