any kind in and around Brunswick.
The week opens up bright with pros
pectlve amusements.
Ihe McCuliOughs left last night for
Macon to play a match game with the
Hlltons, Of DarIen. The Hiltons made a
most favorable impression upon our citi-
zens while in the city recently. The Nc
CullOughs will have to work hard today
In Macon, and they have gone there i'm
pressed with that fact.

but il is a rare virtue i'm this town. and
perhaps may be sustained in this in
stance.
