M .■i f ve i ‘i« ou '" i y *'* ie laborers will con
-9 .WrinnX nothing but their absolute
*n'Jts.— \ working man should not
HB-Aork more than eight or nine hours
■ a day. It is too much, I have been
■ there myself, and know" what 1 am
■ talking about. If the eight and
■ nine hour law’ will work satisfactorily,
■ in the north, west and east, why will
I it not do good in the south, and
f, Brunswick *n particular. Evcry-
I thing is high enough here. - I refer to
I prieeof building and work of all kinds
» 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
boys down kinder gently, so to speak.
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 I 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 t> « close to take chances. My
motto h:.s always been boiled down
in these two magic words:—“Under
buy, then Under sell'’ anybody, at any’
• and all li ncs. Paving a large
capital at 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. SEI*. 1 ST.
Fresh Sugar Corn, new and tender,
2 cans for 15 cents
Red, ripe Tomatoes, full weight,
2 cans for 15 cents.
Good 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 kind of induce
ments to you.
Remember I am the original and
only cheap cash grocery’ house.
Th6 others are all fine and fancy
grocers. They 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.
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
sell you cheaper, and give you better
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 ymu 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 1 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

BRUNSWICK.
What is Her Destiny as a Cotton
Shipping Port?
A Review of the Past and a Careful
Consideration of the Present
Will Answer—Why She is
Gaining Ground.
Brunswick cfs a cotton port is fast
attaining that commercial import
ance she so richly deserves and
which the immediate future will
thrust upon her.
These are facts as uncontroverta
ble as truth itself, facts that stare
Brunswick’s rivals in the face, and,
likethe ghost of the murdered Banquo
will not down at their bidding.
And now for a retrospection.
Five years ago there passed through
this city 8,000 bales of the fleecy
staple. They came chiefly from
points on the Brunswick & Western
and the majority of them were, con
signed to factors itr-Savannah. The
season of the following year develop
ed a new phase. The shipment
amounted to 21,000 bales, and the
East Tennessee road began to inter
est itself in shipments through this
port. And just here it should be
said that the bulk of the receipts
did not. go to Savannah, but to New
York andother points via New York.
The season of ’B6 ,87 saw a still
greater change, for by this time the
advantages of Brunswick as a cotton
shipping port began to attract the
attention of buyeis, who, by shrewd
ness and foresight, saw’ that Bruns
wick, as a competing point, held in
ducements which were advantageous
for them to secure. The result was
that the shipments for that season
almost doubled those of the preced
ing year, 34,000 bales being handled.
When it is considered that Bruns
wick was handicapped, so to speak, '
by obsticles thrown in her path by
rival corporations, lack of proper
banking facilities and sharp rate
competitions, these receipts are simp- >
ly marvelous. Some of these finan- i
cial obsticles, however, were removed
by the opening of the season of ’B7- ]
’BB. Brunswick then had two banks, i
and before the season closed two i
new cotton docks, contiguous to the
railroad, were erected and facilities 1
for conducting the cotton business
began to accumulate. By this time '
direct shipment to England and the
continent began to be made, the cot
ton exchanges began to note receipts ,
■mid shipments anl Brunswick began j
to feel that she had gained a footing (
as a cotton shipping port. At the t
end of that season the receipts foot- j
ed up 72,C00 bales. i
The shipments for last season, ‘
‘BB ’B9 amounted to almost 200,000
bales. The present season has just ‘
opened and, as Tin: Post has already (
stated, the most conservative men (
of the city estimate that Brunswick
will not handle less than 250,000
bales during the season.
Someone may ask why Brunswick,
a new port so far as cotton is con- .
cerned, is enable to draft this im- (
mense business from neighboring 1
competing ports. The reasons are
obvious. The first and greatest is ’
geographical position of the city '
with reference to the cotton belt of <■
middle and western Geo ,- gia, eastern t
Alabama and Florida. Brunswick
has an advantage over Savannah of
thirty-eight miles so far as the cot
ton belt is concerned. Brunswick’s (
harbor can shelter the navies of the i
world, with ample depth of water '
for any class of vessel in the mer
chant service. The depth of water
is such that cotton steamers load at
their docks to full capacity and pro
ceed direct to sea. Sailors ean re
main aboard their respective vessels, 1
as they are not subjected to oidinan- j
ces prohibiting then from doing so. (
In addition to all this new rail
roads are in contemplation that will
be feeders to the port, banking capi- •
tai has been increased, wharf ami <
warehouse facilities are being con
tinually added, while expenses are
being kept at a minimum in compa- 1
rison with other ports. The present
railsoads arc so constructed that de
liveries of cotton are made directly 1
to the ships, avoiding all drayage 1
and lessening the cost of handling. ’
Taking into consideration the pist 1
and the present, what most lie the
future of Brunswick us a cotton |
port? j

some of their great Inn gains in ladies 1

SATURDAY’S SCRAPINGS.
To-days Doings Briefly Paragraphed
By a Post Reporter.
Lift her up tenderly,
Treat her with care;
The banana peal tripped her.
And yon know she can’t swear.
—L'niladclpiiia Times.
Jno. R. Dillon, the well known
grocery man, makes a stray argument
to the laboring man in his advertise
ment in another column.
Two or three whist clubs have
been formed during this weelf by the
young people of the city and much
pleasure is expected from tins fasci
nating game during the fall and
winter evenings.
The latest petition for charter that
has been filed in the office of the
clerk of the superior court is that of
the South Atlantic and Gulf Harbor
Improvement Company. The names
that appear in the application are:
C Downing, M Ullman, J S Thomas,
A J Crovatt and W E Burbage.
The most important matter
brought to the attention of the Board
of. Trade yesterday was Col. E C
Machen’s proposed railroad to
Brunswick. After some discussion
a committee was appointed to con
fer with Col Machen and invite him
to Brunswick.
The Next Scholastic Year.
The new public school building
is rapidly nearing completion. In
fact the contractors have promised
to turn it over to the Board of Edu
cation by the end of next week. Os
the prospect for the attendance next
session Superintendent Orr said this
morning:
“It is almost impossible to esti
mate the number of pupils we will
have during the next scholastic
year. The increase over last year,
however, will be great. Having a
new building and several additional
teachers w r e will begin the year un
der most favorable circumstances.”
Book and Stationery Business.
On the first of September Mr. J.
P. Shelley will open up a book and
stationery business in the store soon
to be vacated by Mr. J. T. Rockwell.
Mr. Shelley is well and favorably
known to the people of Brunswick,
and that he will make a success of
this venture goes without saying.
Mr. Shelley has secured the services
of Mr. Mitt Wells, whose connection
with the business will add to its
popularity.
Police Court-
This morning's session of the
police court was a busy one. Isaac
Meyers was fined $lO for disorderly

No Better Place For the Pros
pector to Invest Money.
Twelve Years Ago She Was a Strug
gling Village, Now She is a
t Thriving City—Her Past,
Presentand Future.
J Twelve years ago Brunswick was
s literally dead. She was looked upon
i as the offseouring of the state. And
• to add to this deadness, she- had a
I credit that was worse than bad. For
instance she had over $200,000 worth
t of bonds afloat, which could have
> been bought for almost nothing, and
f on which she didn’t pretend to pay
• a cent of interest for the simple
s reason that she was not able.
In the year 1879, however, an ad
vantageous arrangement was made
by which SBO,OOO worth of new bonds
• were issued, bearing a lower rate of
| interest; and to each bond holder a
’ pro rata amount was given, the bal-.
> ancc of his claim being paid by deeds
to certain property known as Town
. Commons. This arrangement has
proven mutually beneficial to both
the bondholders and the city*. Not
only the value of the Town Com
mons increased but the interest on
the bonds has been paid punctually
Recently the city- voted to issue
$300,000 worth of new bonds. It is
, understood that these bonds will be
issued sometime during the coming
fall. When they are floated, how
ever, the outstanding bonded in lebt
edness will be relieved by some kind
of exchange and the remainder of
the money will go for sewerage, pub
lie buildings and other necessary
improvements. Real estate is con
tinually advancing and everything
indicates a bright and prosperous
future for the city. Thus it will be
seen that Brunswick's financial con
ditioa is above reproach.
And as regards improvements in
the city it is oniy necessary to tra
verse the principal thorougharcs. A
most casual observer will be struck
with the magnificent Oglethorpe, the
First National and Oglethorpe Na
tional bank buildings, the city hall
now in course of erection, and the
many atttractive mercantile houses
along Newcastle street. A short
walk up Mansfield will disclose the
elegant building of the First Baptist
church and the beautiful public
school building, both of which are
nearing completion.
In another year the city hall and
market, both of whieh have been
contracted for, will be complete. And
more than that, Brunswick will have
in $85,000 system of sewerage. These
things are already under headway,
and when it is considered that there
are thousands of individual im
provements that are being made every
day, it is no wonder that visitors to
the city watch her growth with so
much interest.
The county finances have gone
through about tjie same experience
as the city, a state of almost bank
ruptcy having been changed, by a
successful compromise, to one of
solvency and prosperity. The
bonds of Glynn county now float
above par.
The fact of the business is Bruns
wick and Glynn county are all right
and prospectors are assured that
they can find no better place to
invest their money. Don’t deceive
yourself with the idea that Bruns
wick has attained her maximum
growth. Although a new era has
dawned; although people have moved
in and erected houses, commerce lias
opened up and vim and activity
have replaced inertia; although a
struggling village has become a
prosperous city, just bear in mind
that a brighter future awaits Bruns
wick.

Sutton on Trial.
Fred Sutton, parged with stealing
S2OO belonging to Tom Gjss, a white

morning at 11 o'clock in Judge
Coker's court. Col. Frank 11. Harris
and Mr. W. J. Williams represented
Sutton and Mr. Walter A. Way the
state. The prosecution closed their
cost at 12 o’clock after swearing live
witnesses. The defendant then made
a statement denying all knowledge
of the crime. Witnesses for the de
fendant were being sworn as The
Post went to press.
The case will probably be de
eidqd late this evening. The opin
ion is that Sutton will be bound

A Runaway.
. Tnis morning a horse belonging to
A. T. Putnam, ran away and created
quite a panic. The horse was at
tached to a wagon standing th front
of Putnam's stable, on Monk street,
about 8:30 o’clock, and became
frightened at a passing bycicle.
Thoroughly frightened, the driver,
Johti Bird, was unable to manage
him, and he dashed wildly down
Monk street toward Newcastle.
When opposite the Central hotel,
Bird was thrown from the wagon.
Running down Newcastle the
wagon was dashed into C. E. Shipp’s
awning rods, and the foaming brute
captured. The wagon was complete
ly demolished. Bird’s injuries are
very serious, and he may die.

of Odd Fellows.
The Rush Lodge I. O. O. F. No. 4-8
Instituted Last Light In the
Knights of Pythias' Hall-
Instalation of Officers.
, Last night, witnessed a memorable
event in the secret society circles of
Brunswick.
It was the institution of another
Odd Fellows’ lodge with the charter
name of Rush Lodge I. O. O. F. No.
r
Several months ago Dr. G. W.
Rush, of Athens, Ga., moved to
Brunswick and engaged in his chosen
; occupation, the drug business.
Dr. Rush was an enthusiastic Odd
Fellow and soon conceived the idea
of instituting another lodge in
- Brunswick. He found several other
new comers who gladly joined him
in furthering the plan. The result
was that all necessary preliminaries
were soon satisfactorily arranged
and a call was issued for the in
stitution of the lodge last night.
Promptly at 8 o’clock the Odd
Fellows, together with those who had
applied for membership, met in the
Knights ot Pythias’ hall.
In compliance with the order of J
such exercises, a temporary Grand J
Lodge was instituted by Daviifl
Porter, I) G M., of Savannah;
