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.

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. i See J J.

SO methlng About This Grand Excur sion to St. Simon's Island. This is a big day on St. Simon’s. It is the occasion of the Red Men’s excursion, an event that has at tracted large crowds to the island. The Pope Catlin and the Egmont were both chartered for the day and have been making their scheaule trips, carrying large crowds each time. The Waycross Gun Club arrived at 8 o’clock this morning and im mediately took the boat for the is land. The Glynn Gun Club went over on the same boat. The Forest City Gun Club did not reach the city until 9:30, on account of the delay occasioned by the East Tennessee train. The morning hours have been very pleasantly spent by the excursion ists, in dancinw, surf bathing, ponetic shooting, bicycle racing, etc. The shooting tournament commenced this afternoon at 2’ o’clock. At this hour it is hardly possible to predict who will win the shoot. AMAZONS ON THE WAR PATH. Two Notorious Women Get on a Spree and “Do Up”lsaac Meyers. Last night two notorious white women, Emma Webb and Salina Bebe went into Isaac Meyers’ saloon on Gloucester street in an intoxicated condition and began to paint the saloon red and blue by curses and yells. Ofli :er Berry was called and he plated the women in custody. Bond was soon forth coming and the infu riated wretches maddened by ar rest and filled with whiskey, went back to Meyers', place and proceeded to pound him out in regular John L. Sullivan style. Meyers was fearfully beaten about the head ami face be fore the women could be taken away. Officer Berry again placed the wo men behind the bars and “quiet re mained supreme” around Meyers saloon, but not so at the lockup. Mr. Johnson, the keeper, says they cursed and swore all night at such a rate as to prevent his obtaining a winx of sleep. They' were bonded out a second time this morning at 4 o’clock and taken home.
