BRUNSWICK, GA, March 23-EditOr Morning
NetCs: You have moi heard from old Glynn in
some time, but she is moving along to the same
old tune, however, and yet we have no daily
paper to herald our prosperity. A daily will
pay in this city to-day, but the powers that be
won't see it that way or are afraid to launch
out.
Brunswick is brim fall of projects at present.
among which may be reckoned the proposed
additional improvements in the harbor. The
original design to open up the shoal spot at
Brandy Point is progressing, but now, although

necessity since the location of the
Cole-Seney terminus above the city as
it will open direct and much shorter
communication for large craft between
the city docks and those of the railroad com
panles. Memorials have been forwarded to
the House or Representatives, and it is likely
thai the appropriation will be m ade, as Bruins
