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.

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 !)<>nt forget to go to Taylor A Da via, the “old relisblea'' and secure some of their great Inn gains in ladies 1 and misses Oxford l ies. 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 conduct. J Cronhtim was fined $5 for engaging in the Meyers difficulty. Anna Pepper was fined $5 for beat ing her daughter unmercifully. John Savage was fined SB. The cases against E A Putnam, Salina Bebe and Emma Webb were continued. John Mullins and An drw Jones were discharged from custody Notice.

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.

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.

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; Me.lliield, II •; 11 1 . of Brunswjß jfl . i . i: 1 ' ’ 11 1' ' N 1 ■ M ■' ' ■ M m ■ fl ■ fl fl ' ' fl w i until a i-e-p.-m in.-, ing and the lodge iHfl into an election of officers for uM ensuing term, with the following® result: ' ~ Past Grand—GW Rush.
