stores at this point so far this
,on are 10 per cent. in excess OF the
receipts of last season. The amount of
Western produce distributed here now is
immense as compared with six months
since. ''Foreign" cars, as they are
termed, completely fill Bay street at times
from Cooks mill to Drurv's warehouse.
This is the result of the new combination
between the Brunswick and Western
and the Central.
The Thomas Collyer, recently pur-
chased to run the Darien line, will run
instead on the old Cumberland route,
making daily trips to Fernandina,
with through freight and passenger con-
nections from Jacksonville. to the North
and West. The Brunswick and Western
and the Florida roads, with termini at
Fernandina. will cooperate with the
steamboat line, and thus present the popu-
lar Cumberland route again to the public.
1t will be we'll patronized. The erection
of a passenger shed, so long delayed, will
now become a necessity. Piles of bag
gage are frequently seen on the platform
waiting for trains, and passengers arrl-
wing and departing are compelled to land
in the street, exposed TO all KINDS OF
weather. Something should be done, even
if only temporary shelter over a section
ofthe track, like that of the East Tennessee,
~ Cs@-azssia- Bailrnad at Rome
which, while not expensive, would be ann
pie as a baggage and waiting room, par
ticularly for inYalids.
THE NEW LIBRARY
is the success of the season, and is well
patroniZed. The rooms are now perma-
nentlv located in the Kaiser building.
Mrs. NJ. A. Baker has accepted the posi-
| ton of Librarian. The association viii
| have grand reunion on the I'd proX.
The plans are perfected for anew county
| Jail and guard house, which will be the
/ joint property of the county and city.
| The building will be of brick, two stories,
with iron cages for cells. The new market
will be heated on the same square, and
will be erected in time for the opening of
next season. The present green grocers'
| licenses Will expire in January next.
The new tabby block being built by
Harvey & Burtord is beginning to loom
up.
| The City Council will, at the eXpira-
| ton of the lease OF the present Quarantine
| Station, adopt another site lower down
the river, most likely what is known as
Bunch o. Grass, which it is proposed to
purchase.
The Senatorial race is opened, with Hon.
T. w. Lamb, formerly representative of
| this county, and Mr.. r. M. TisOn, our
present Tax Collector, as candidates.
Mr.. Tison's father, the late Hon. j.. M.
Tison, was for several years the Senator
from this district. Both candidates are
good men, strong and influential. For
years they pulled together as leaders to
redeem Glynn county from carpet-bag
disagreement, but at present they are
measuring their strength with each other.
The rotation system gives the Senator to
Glynn county this term.
THE RACE FOR THE UNITED STATES
DISTRICT JUDGESHIP
is now narrowed down to Goodyear, Far
row and Cunningham, with Goodyear well
in the lead.
Goodyear and his friends seem entirely
confident of his appointment. Mr.. G. is
in the city attending to his law practice
as usual. Messrs. Falligant, Erwin and
Mercer, of the Savannah bar, were in at
tendance on the Superior Court last week.
Several fishing smacks are now perma-
nently engaged in catching snapper and
Blacklist for this market.
Camden county has recentlyslost two of
it's oldest landmarks. Hon. Thomas ID.
Harrison, who died recently, was one of
the foremost men of the county. Wealthy
and public spirited, he held during his
lifetime many positions of honor and
trust. and died, as he had lived, without
reproach, honored and esteemed. The
death of Col. E. N. Atkinson, at Way
cross, last week, removes another citizen
of Camden-a man distinguished for his
courage and ability, whG commanded the
Twenty-sixth Georgia Regiment, and
came home from Virginia wreck physi-
cally and financially, and seemed ever
since only waiting for death to end his
sufferings.
The oldest bank President in the State
is Increase Cotton Plant, ESQ.,, of Macon,
who was President of the first bank in
this city, his first Presidency-long before
the war-I am told in 1910. GLYNN.
