BRUNSWICK, GA.. TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 5. 1890.
THE PANATELLA.
It Is Smoked by Twenty-seven Cigar
Critics of Brunswick.
A right amusing coincidence oc
curred in a law office on Newcastle
street this morning.
Three attorneys, two drug clerks,
a physician and a newspaper reporter
chanced to meet ir. the oflice and
during the course of the conversa
tion, a lively discussion ensued on
' the subject of cigars.
: “I used to smoke ten cent cigars
all the time,” said one of the lesal
lights, “but I've quit that kind of
foolish extravagance. I have suc
ceeded in finding a nickle cigar that
suits my taste and pocket book,
I exactly.”
“What’s the brand?” asked two
or three voices.
• “The Panatella, a Key West
beauty, sold by this fellow Altinayer
up there by Taylor <fc Davis’ shoe
store.”
With that, the other six fished out
a cigar each from their vest pockets
and planked it down on the speaker’s
, desk. . Strange to say, they were all
Panatelias,’and everybody wore a sur
prising smile.
The reporter was an attache of
j The Post, and being curious to know
just how- many other Brunswickiahs
had found their favorite smoker in
Panatella. called at Mr. Altmayer’s
and inquired. The genial proprietor
of that popular smoking emporium,
after examining his ledger, answered :
“There are twenty-seven men in
Brunswick who never smoke any
thing else than the Panatella, and,
strange to say, I have never adver
tised that brand in the least. It
recommends itself to every man who
gives it a test.”
With that the reporter left, entitled
that he was a fair judge of a cigar.

—As the time approaches for the
selection of city officers the contest
grows warmer. There are already
three candidates for the mayoralty
to succeed Capt. Glenn. Hon. Al
bert Howell seems to have the inside
track but Aldermen Woodward and
Hutchinson are both after his scalp,
so it is not safe to say who will be at
the head of the next, city govern
ment. Then to Col. Walter R. Brown
may decide to enter the race to still
further complicate matters. At any
rate the successful candidate will
have to dance to a lively ‘ jig, v
Dr. Curtis anil Mr. 11. M. Bewtelle
will have a hand in the alderinatic
contest.llt is understood that Mr.Ar-
■ f-
nold Broyles will have no opposition
for councilman from the third ward,
but there are at least a half dozen
candidates in each of the other
wards.
Interest in the county elections is
on the increase. Judge Calhoun the
present Ordinary has demonstrated
to the satisfaction of every one, his
ability to perform duties devolving
upon him. Judge G, 11. Turner, the
handsome clerk of the court, will be
opposed by Mr. Walter Venable, who
has been deputy clerk for a number
of years.
Judgs<l. 11. Strong, the ex-elcrk
will run as an independent against
the nominee.
For years Col. L. P. Thomas. Mr.
Ang. Perkerson and Mr. Clem Green
have held the office of she: iff, but
this time they are not to have a
‘walkover’ as Col. John W. Nelms,
ex-m iTshall for the noithern district
of Georgia under President Cleve
land, has decided to make the race
against them.
Col. Nelins has not yet selected
his deputies. County Tieasury
Paine will have no opposition neith
er will Tax Receiver Loyd nor collec
tor Jack Smith.
For the corouoi.* office Mr. Frank
Hilburn will again lock horns with
Dr. J. C. Avary. the present incu
bent. As yet no ambitions surveyor
has announced for the county sur
veyor’s office.
In the commissioners race the‘fur’
is beginning to fly. A. A. Murphy
is the prohibition c»ndidat>*. Col.
G. W. Adams aud Mr. C. W. Hun
nicut have announced
themselves for reelection. Mr. Jim
Collins and F. P. Rice aie prominent-
Iv mentioned iu connection with the
otliee.
Col Livingston seems to be resting
on his oars. Col. W. G. Whidby has
admitted that he and Jmbge Hook
prepared the anonimous letter which
seems to be giving Livingston’s
•electroplated’ conscience some
trouble.

ABOUT HORSES.
A Queer Monster That Still
Exists in England.
Tho Figure to be Seen About Two
Miles North of Lamburne-
What the Standard of ,
the Saxon Was. ♦
Abotit two miles to the north of ,
Lamboume, in Berkshire, England, is
White Horse hill, on summit of <
wh li lii.-o- is a fm-gi- R-. srm entrench- I
ment called fffington castle. A little •
below the eastleon the steep side of the r
hill facing the northwest is the figure
of a gigantic white horse, the dimen- '
sions of which extend over about an
acre of ground. Its head, neck, body i
and tail consist of one white line, as t
does also each of its four legs. Tho out
lines of this monstrous specimen of the
genus equti are formed by cutting 1
trenches in the chalk, of which the hill 1
is mainly composed, the ditches being t
2 or 15 feet in depth and about 10 feet
wide. The chalk of the trench being
of a beautiful white color, and tho sur
rounding turf tho greenest of green, the J
figure of the horse cun bo plainly seen j
at a distance of twelve miles, and even (
farther, it is said, if the sun is shining
brightly. (
A white horse is known to have been n
the standard of the Saxons, and some t
have supposed that this monster em
' blematic figure was made by Ilengist,
one of the Saxon kings. Mr. Wise, an 8
author who has written' much of the s
celebrated white horse of Berkshire. (
brings several arguments to prove that |
this figure was made under order of Al
fred during the reign of Ethelred, hie
brother, and that the figure is a monu
ment to a victory over the Dunes in
tho year 871. Other well known writers *■
aro of tho opinion that the wonderful t
white horse is a natural freak, one of .
nature’s oddest oddities. Ashmead- j
Burton thinks that the early tribes
noted the outlines of a horse on the !
hillside and gradually worked it into 1
its present graceful syiunr try. |
However this may be, it i..is been a
custom since time out of memory foi '
the neighboring peasants to assemble on 1
a certain day of each year, usually about I
midsummer, to clear away the weeds
from the White Horse and trim the
edges of the trench so as to preserve
tho color and shape. This task is
known for miles around as “Scouring
the Horse.”
A large mound at the foot of White
Horse Hill and almost directly under
the “Horse" is called Dragon Hill.
Here, according to tradition, St. George
killed the dragon. On the top of this
mound, or “barrow." there is a space I
about fifty yards square upon which I
not a spear of grass has grown during I
the hist thousand years. The peasants I
say that tho grass cannot grow on ac
count of the ground having been poi
soned with the dragon’s blood at the
time Bt. George gave, him the fatal
wound. —St. Louis Republic.
“Down on the Niiil.”
This is a well known half slang
phrase used for a cash payment. Os
its history I cannot speak, but 1 con
fess to feeling startled when 1 found it,
as if“seems to me, in a parliamentary
deed of King Robert the Bruce. By
indenture dated July 15, 132(5 (Scots
Acts I. 4765, a tenth penny was cove
nanted for, payable to the king. On
his part he agreed not to exact certain
prises and carriages unless he was pass
ing through tho realm, after the cus
tom of his predecessor, Alexander 111,
“for which prises and carriages full
payment should be made super un
guem.” (The words are, “Pro quibus
prisiset eariagiis plena flat soluciosuper
unguem.”)
I am aware of the classical use of
the phrase “in unguem,” or “ad un
•.-ui'iii," signifying “to a nicety,” but it
I does not seem to apply here. At the
: snmc time the corresponding French
phrase "payer rubis sur I’ongle” may
make this doubtful. Just below the
passage cited occurs another, in which
payment is to be made “in mnnu.”
Both in my opinion refer to ready
money, and I do not hesitate to trans
late “super unguem” “down on the
nail." Hitherto I have supposed the
nail to be a figure of speech for the
I counter on which tho coin was told,
j Apparently tills is erroneous, as it is
clearly the fingernail which is referred
to. —Notesand Queries.
Old Parsons.
The old faSioned country parsons of
the English church lived more on the
social level of the farmers and yeomen
than of the squires, though in many
cases they were men of culture. The
Rev. S. Baring-Gould tells an anecdote
of a parson of this class who was in
vited to spend two days with a great
squire Kiine miles from the parsonage.
He went, stayed his allotted time
and disappeared. Two days later the
lady of the house, happening to go into
the servants' hall In the evening, was
amazed to find her late guest there.
After he had finished his visit upstairs
he had accepted the invitation of the
butler to spend another two days be
low.
“Like Persephone, madam,” he said
apologetically, “half my time above, i
half in the nether world.”—Youth’s
Companion.

The girl wait convinced, as she had no

A floor walker and detective were

ladies keep up the habit of running
about from counter to counter without
gathering up their parcels. One reason
for the issue of transfer cards is to
guard against just this sort of thing.
If n shopper only expects to purchase
two or three things she may, if in haste,
have these follow- her, and pay for
them finally all together. These shop
lifters often secure the pareels and

man at a busy hour to identify readily

A Costly Mansion.
The largest and costliest private man
sion in the world is said to be that lie
longing to Lord Bute, called “Mon
stuart,” and situated near Rothesay.
It covers nearly two acres, and is built
hi Gothic style, the walls, turrets and
balconies being of stone. The immense
tower in the center of the building is
120 feet high, with a balcony around
the top. The halls are constructed en
tirely of marble and alabaster, all the
rooms are finished in mahogany, wise
wood and walnut, the fireplaces are all
carved marbles of antique designs.
The exact cost of this palace is not
known, but it has never been estimated
at less than l?’.),000,000. —Pittsburg Dis
