BRUNSWICK, May 19-EditOr Morning Nescs:
Progress is the order of the day. The teIe-
phone brigade TO day are making the streets
ring with their unusual uproar. The poles, of
heavy cypress, are being placed from Sprunt's
naval stores yard to McCullough's dock, dis
tance of over two miles straightaway, besides
the stretches up and down the cross streets.
Newcastle street is numbered up with building
material, and the east side is assuming a
new appearance fast. One hundred and twenty
cheap tenements have been erected in the
suburbs during the past twelve months, and
not vacant house in town yet. This indi-
Gates considerable increase in population as
well as business. There are new people here
and more money than formerly, and the result
is becoming apparent already.
The dredge is busy removing deposits from
around the harbor, being now engaged at the
new railroad wharf, and as soon as that is com
pleted she will be employed TO dig out the por-
tton ct the river front between the cotton press
and Woods wharf.
The pilot boat Margaret and Ann is having
new mastS put In, and will soon come out with
new SUIT of sails much larger than the old
ones, and is expected to be very fast.
Mr.. John E. DuBignon is completing an ele-
CANT residence on Jekyl Island
The fair Is approaching rapidly and will be
well attended. There will be many interesting
features, not the least of which is the poultry
department. Parties visiting this fair will be-
hold the finest variety Of fowls in Georgia
The railroad fares are very low, and as this is
the best season to visit the coast, many will no
doubt avail themselves OF the opportunity.
Col. Farrow, the Collector at this port, has
been absent several weeks in the mountains
with his family, and will probably not remove
to Brunswick until the fall.
Mr. j. W. Taylor, formerly of this city, but
for some few years past engaged in rice plant
ing at Woodbine, on the Satilla, died on yester-
day morning. The cause of his death have
not learned, but it is rumored that it is
the result of wound in the head
which he received when his house was de-
stroyed last month by cyclone Mr.. Taylor
was highly esteemed in this community, and
this sad event will he a shock to his many
friends He leaves a wife and two children to
mourn his loss.
In regard to Tour Jacksonville correspon-
dents comments on my statement concerning
the migration of criminals to Florida. would
ask to have the same corrected so as to read
ITO the neighboring islands and Florida;r and,
tool would like to intimate without the shadow
OF reflection on my own native State CFlorida)
that there are at least four Brunswick worthless
now within her borders who are under indict
ment for various offenses. This of course is
an old trick, and it devolves upon US to have
them brought back by a requisition from the
Governor, but it seems there is some hitch in
the law, as our county officials do not seem
willing to shoulder the expense. Although it
seems unfair, we are glad to thus easily dis
pose of such parties, The law needs some bur
nishing up. GLYEN
