THH TIMES here mentions the latest (
and best suggestions made to it in re-
gard to the ship
Mr. J. A. Hid, q gentleman who has
been a citizen Of Brunswick for 3 years /
makes a suggestion both available and
good He suggests that if possible, a
perfect miniature or model Of Lover
Oak be gotten up, encased in suitable
box, and sent to Atlanta as a sample Of
Brunswick's magnificent moss draped |
trees. This would prove valuable adj
dition to the already assured attractive
ness OF Glynns exhibit
II a person could be secured, compe
tent to prepare the miniature. he should
be employed at once and put to work on
it. After the limbs, ETC., have been
carved, the ladies' might properly take
hold Of the work Of draping the tree with
real moss and trimming it with leaves.
What could be done to better represent
Bruuswicks magnificent oaks?
WHY NOT AN AQI AEiUMf
Mr. Claud Dart, well known young
man Of this city makes suggestion No.
9. He advises the addition Of a salt water
aquarium to the exhibit.

with bottom made Of some kind Of
metal IN the case, thick layer Of gen
uine salt mud to be laid and the case to
be filed with salt water. II could then
be stocked with an kinds Of fish, crabs,
oysters, CLAIMS, shrimp and even small
alligators. All these could be kept alive |
during the time the ship VIII be on exhi-
bition, by shipping from Brunswick at
intervals of two days, a fresh supply of
water from the bay. This would indeed. |
form one Of the most attractive features
Of the exhibit Not only would it dis
play the products Of Brmswicks sur
rounding waters, but it would be a Gu !
rious and interesting sight to all visitors

SUGGESTION NO. 3.
Mr.. J J. Collins suggestion il one
unusually good He proposes that
papier macho model be made Of the har- I
Dor showing docks shipping, peninsula |
on which the city is built, salt marsh
quarantine station aud surrounding Isl
lands
This would show to better advantage
thes rnvthing yet proposed, the ship
pins ao,it, of Brunswick and Glynu
county. The bay could Toe represented
as well as ships, steamers, etc, ia the
harbor The most attractive ching
about this exhibit would be the repre-
scntatioa Of the peninsula on which
Brunswick is built showing large and
small trees boulevard and other promin-
ent features around the city. The water
towers, Oglethorpe and Ocean hotels
and public buildings should be made
prominent.
Mr. Collins says that the model can be |
made in New Orleans from drawings.

FAIR or GLASSES.
Mr. J. f. B. Love has pair Of very |
fine field glasses which he will give to
the ship as part Of the exhibit.
There is quite a little story connected /
with Mr.. Love possession Of the glasses,
which he told to TINES reporter yester-
day.
Several years ago he was telegraph
operator at Wayoross As the train from
Brunswick rolled up to the depot one
day distinguished looking man rushed
intothe Office and hurriedly stated that he
was just of vessel from Havana and
was bound for Montgomery, Aha While !
in Havana he was presented with pair i
Of field glasses, which he prizod highly.

his baggage he always carried them him.
but in the hurry of boarding the tram in /
Brunswick he lost sight Of them en-
tirely, aud would willingly pay hand |
somely for their recovery aud return to
him IN Montgomery
Mr.. Love at once started the wires to |
work and soon located the glasses which I
he expressed to Montgomery. For quite /
awhile they lay unclaimed in the Mont /
gomery express office after which they
were returned to Mr. Love as unoalled /
Tor Many efforts have been made since /
TO locate the owner but to no avail The
glasses are eXraordinary strong ones aud
objects ten miles distant can be plainly .
seen and recognized by their use. The
present owner has been offered large .
sums for them. but refuses to sell at any
price.
