■ A BIG STRIKE. I
Sept. I, Set Apart For
IB a Grand Demonstration.
|Khe LABORERS want MNi: HOIKS.
BH I>ll. Lon IS WITH THEM. WHAT
EH HE HAS TO SAY.
aM On Munday '.lie laborers will con-
for nothing but their absolute
Eights. — A working man should not
>'ork more than eight or nine hours
i day. It is too much, I have been
here myself, and know what lam
alking about. If the eight and
ine hour law will work satisfactorily
a the north, west and east, why will
t not do good in the south, and
■Brunswick in particular. Every- <
■ thing is high enough here. 1 icferto ,
Bpriceof building and work ofali kinds (
r as well as groceries, dry goods, shoes (
and every article that is bought, sold
or manufactured in Brunswick. So
on Monday I will begin to let the i
> boys down kinder gently, so to speak, j
I am going to go down on prices a
little bit lower, As you know, I have
always been cheaper than any other ■
store in Brunswick for the same class
of goods. I can afford to do this, as
it is a well known fact that 1 only (
credit such people as I can collect
out of, whether they want to pay or '
not. In other words they must have '
property, or give good security. I
1 sell too close to take chances. My
motto has always been boiled down t
in these two magic words: —‘ Under
buy, then Under sell” anybody, at any* i
and all tines. Paving a large J
capital nt my command, I take ad
vantage of all bargains, and buy
largely when goods are cheap, and
give ray customers the advantage
when prices go up.
I give you a few prices to show
you where I stand. (
PRICES FOR MONDAY, SEP. IST.
Fresh Sugar Corn, new and tender,
2 cans for 15 cents
lied, ripe Tomatoes, full weight, ■
2 cans for 1 5 cents.
Gojd table Butter, only 25 cents ■
a pound. |
Best Patent Flour, only 80 cents a
sack, (does your grocer sell at these
prices?)
And every article in the grocery line ,
is at the same reduction. I intend ■
to sell you your goods whether you
want to bny from me or not.
It is to your interest to save all
you can, and my store is the only '
one that offers any kiud of induce
ments to you.
Remember I am the original and
only cheap cash grocery house. S
The others are all fine and fancy
J
groetrs. ’1 hey don't want to bother
with working people, (like I do,) but <
wish to cater to an aristrocratic
dead beat pay-when-you-can class. I
Life is too short for me to work for
nothin’, and there is no music so
sweet on earth to me, as the click of
the real omnipotent coin. I mean ;
business, I want your trade. I will
J ' J
sell you cheaper, and give you belter
goods, (I have all kinds, from the
best to the cheapest) better satisfac
tion and quicker delivery, as I run :
two delivery' wagons, when you buy
goods from me, and want them for ,
dinner, you will get them without
fail. I never disappoint. Don’t let .
anyone fool you by making out that
they will undersell me. I have as :
much at stake as theyhave.They can’t
do it, I pay cash for my goods and '
every article I sell increases my stock.
They sell on credit, and what they
loose on a dead beat they hope to
make up on you, and will, if you
don’t watch them. For your own
satisfaction come and try my store
for one or two bills, and convince
yourself that I cab do that which I
claim, and you will always trade
me. I seldom lose a customer

a brief courtship he became engaged
to Miss Elliot ami came to this
cowntry' with the family. It was
’ learned shortly' after that Sawyer
! w’as a gambler and a confidence man
I .ami the engagement was broken off.
On Monday evening he obtained
access to Miss Elliot's house, and
[ after asking her the reason for her
breaking off from the engagement,
and getting a reply, he drew a revol
ver and fired at her twice, the bul
lets grazing Miss Elliot’s cheek.
Mr. Elliot rushed into the room
and was knocked down with a blow
from the revolver. Sawyer then
. made his escape. Mr. Elliot is

her overboard, held her under water
until he thought she was dead. He
then said she was accidentally
drowned. She was.resuscitated and
told the story of the clime.

ius says he fired the shots in self
defense.

step into the new store room on
j. Gloucester street next door to Meri
( wether’s and two doors from ihe ex.
press office they may sec one of the
cleanest, freshest amt prettiest stocks
of groceries that can be found in the
l city.
i Messrs. Ball & B 1 ackshear, two
I young aud enterprising gentlemen
- from Thomasville, are the proprietors
t of this well kept establishment.
; They propose to sell the people of
- Brunswick nice, fresh, clean goods
r at a very low margin for cash. They
, claim to be able in selling for cash,
I to sell much cheaper than those who
[ sell on a credit, because they will
thus have no books to keep and no
’ bad accounts to lose.
s This argument is a very convinc
t ing one, and these young men who
t understand their business thoroughly
I will doubtless find many who prefer
. to pay cash and get first class goods
at the lowest prices.

Brunswick Foundry, Machine
■ and Manufacturing Company
Draw tiie First Blast Yesterday Af
ternoon at 4:50 O’clock—Four
e Thousand Pounds of Iron
Cast—The Foundry-
r Yesterday was fraught with a re
. markable epoch in the history of
Brunswick, the drawing of the first
3 blast furnace. A grand stride was
s made towards placing this city on a
e plane with the first* cities of ’he
south. She is no longer to be class
ed with the moss backs but along
side the most progressive cities in
the country.
Last tall Mr. J. W. Dexter yvent
north to interest some capitalists in
the scheme to build a foundry on
Bi J
ground occupied by the present
‘ mills but was unsuccessful. But
’’ every one knows Mr. Dexter to be
B an indefagitable worker and he was
not to be discouraged in that way.
' He went to work with a brave
heart and was soon successful be
yond his fondest expectations. A
B company was organized and char
tered by the superior court of Glynn
f county March Ist, of this year with
a a capital stock of fifty thousand
f dollars.
J A meeting of the stockholders was
r then called and the following offices
< hosen:
1 VV. M. Tupper, president, J. W.
- Dexter, vice president and general
i manager, J. W. Drury, secretary and
I treasury, J. M. Jardine snperiuten-
■ dent and Messrs. W. M. Tupper, ( .
B. Lloyd, J. W. Dexter, J. M. Ja,-
. dine and ('. I’. Goodyear were ohosen
as directors. Mr. Dexter was im
mediately dispatched north to buy
the necessary machinery to equip
the new foundry. The first mach
inery purchased consisted of a six
foot lathe, one twenty eight inch
drill and a shaping machine.
The site selected for the location
of the foundry is the finest on the
Brunswick Bay and is owned by Mr.
Dexter'. They have about two hun
dred feet of water front and an
equal amount of railroad front on
. the opposite side of the mills, hence
their faculties for transportation are
. unequaled.
The mills consist of three large
, buildings; the foundry being 50x70
feet and 20 feet bight, the machine
shop 60x80 feet and the blacksmith
shop 30x40 feet. A chore room at
tached to the foundry is 15x20 feet.
The first work done was on April
21st, and consisted of repairs on the
steam tug “Inca,” since that time
the mills have been taxed to their
fullest capacity.
Yesterday evening al 4:30 several
of the most prominent gentlemen in
the city had gathered to witness
the first cast. At 4:50 o’clock Mr.
Dexter ordered the casting commenc
ed and the foreman immediately
turned the plug and the molten me
tal began to flow. The “pig” used
in making the casting was Georgia,s
product, coming from Rising Eawn
and Rockwood’s Furnace.
Four thousand pounds of casting
was made from the first drawing,
and was pronounced by the foreman
of the foun dry to be the finest he
had ever seen drawn.
Mr. Dexter said to the reporter:—
“Our company is in a splendid con
dition and this foundry will prove
the best investment ever made in
Brunswick. We intend construct
ing a marine railway dock immedi
ately. This is provided for in our
charter. We then will get all the
the ship repairing coming into this
port. When it is known to the bus
iness world that first class work
(and we do no other kind) can be
done in Brunswick a large portion
of the work now done in New York
will come here.
“Our machinery throughout is
new and of the latest pattern Laving
been made to order. We have
spared neither pains nor money in
this foundry to make it complete in
every detail. For our foundry floor
;we paid $1.50 per ton and $2 per,
I ton for rolling sand. We expect to
I make this the very best foundry
, in the state if money can do it.”
Mr. Dexter is very enthusiastic
! over his uuccessful venture and The:
I Post wishes great success and
II prosperity for the < nterprise.

This is a big day on St. Simon’s.
It is the occasion of the Red Men’s

The Pope Catlin and the Egmont
were both chartered for the day and
have been making their scheaule
trips, carrying large crowds each
time.

at 8 o’clock this morning and im
mediately took the boat for the is

over on the same boat. The Forest
City Gun Club did not reach the city

For a pleasant trip to Florida

This popular route was organized
and opened for business in January
1886, and has since become, bv its
quick time, sure connections and
i grand uer of its scenery, one of the

the tourist can pleasantly spend ’fl
week or two, in hunting deer, duck'
or quail or angling for the finny
tribe, all varieties of which are sus
ceptible to a fascinating bait. Thence
through the romantic and pictur
esque sea islands in full view of the
Atlantic ocean, but safe from any de
mands old Neptune might make, the
waters being as smooth as the most
placid lake, the steamer glides on to
the next stopping place, Dungeness.
1 It is here that the palatial residence
1 of Mrs Thomas Carnegie, wife of the
Pittsburg iron king, stands. This
princely mansion occupies the site
where once stood the ruins of Dun
geness, the home of General Nathan
iel Green, of Revolutionary fame.
: Surrounded by carmelias, dates,
1 olives and other rare plants and set

I of landscape gardening, it takes the
ready and imaginative writer to de

displayed. Indeed, its grandeur can
! only' be appreciated by actual sight.
[ Within a short distance is also the
grave of "Light Horse Harry Lee,
grandfather of Gen. Robert E. Lee.
Across Amelia sound, another beau
