The following is special from Lafay-
cite 10 the City Item: All good citizens
who love the State and would see her
laws and officers sustained, and the spir-
it of mob violence made to yield to
that lawful authority which has been
set up in Louisiana by $1,000 majO-
rity of her best people will rejoice at
the news I send.
Gov. Nichols has assured Sheriff
Brous>ard that he will sustain him in
the discharge Of his duties if it takes the
entire military power of the State.
This is not boldly spoken, for it appears
almost too good to be true; but it is hope
fully whispered by one good citizen to
apui er, and the measures shown by some
oi lie law breakers proves that they dread
its truth.
1t is stated that the plan is for Sheriff
BrOussard to arrest those who led or par
ticipated in the violent breaking into of
the Jail and the hanging of the negro
last Thursday. If resistance TO arrest is
made. a cal for aid will follow, and the
troops he sent.
The prisoners may be taken to New
Orleans Cor safe keeping. 1t is believed
such action will break the backbone of
mob rule. For the peace happiness and
nrOsppTity of our dear State, pray there
NAV be 10 failure i'm this programme.

The people of this city will have a
good opportunity of showing their ap-

House Friday evening. Kentucky's
gifted arts Mrs. Bessie Miller-Oton,
will present a programme of costume
recitalS, superior to any the people of

jOying.
Mrs. OtOn is naturally a gifted elo-

best training that could be secured and
after years of careful study she has be-
come thoroughly proficient in her art.
Among Mrs. OtOn's selections for the
evening is "Little Mischief'' costume
recital that she presented at the last Y.

which brought forth rounds of applause.
This is an opportunity that the public
may not have again soon of hearing one

should not fail to take advantage of it.
OF Mrs. Oton the Louisville Courier
Journal says:
So spirituelle was her acting, so true
to nature all her gestures and facial de-
lineatiOns, that it was easy to image her
an artistic of long experience. Her
emotions all seemed to well up from her
own soul and take possession of the
character she impersOnates.

When all Shall pay the Last Trib-
ute to the Heroes.
The Graves OF the Confederate Dead to be
Decked With Flowers by the Hands of
Noble Women-The Programme for To-
mOrrOw's Exercises-An the Business
Houses in the City to Close.

Friday is Memorial day. No ont
should forget it as it is only once yea
that they are permitted to pay theil
respect to the dead heroes.
There is no one but whom can devote
a few hours once a year to the memory
of those who died in defending oul
country.
And it is proper that all should attend
and take part in the Memorial eXerci-
ses. The TIMES hopes that every bust
ness house in Brunswick will close theil
doors in order to give the clerks a
chance to join-tsS procession.
AS stated besore~the Memorial address
will be made in L'Aricso Opera House
after which the procession will be
| formed anu march to the cemetery.
| M. A. L. Grower will be orator of
the day. He will he introduced in a
few appropriate, = Slnarks by Mr.. Edwin
| BrobstOn.
Capt. Mallory p. King will be mar
shall of the day, assisted by Messrs. H.
H. Howard and Il. r. Hopkins. The
procession starting from the opera house
will in all probability be formed as fol-
lows:
Atlantic band.
Public school children.
Brunswick Ritlemen.
Light Horse Guards.
Mayor and council.
Orators of the dav.
Ladies of the Memorial Association
in carriages.
Citizens in carriages.
After these all civic organizations
according to seniority.
Owing to the great dust that will be
raised by the tramping Of horses, Mar
shall King has decided to let the school
children go in front Of them.
The line of march will be from Monk
to Newcastle, down to Mansfield, thence
out to the cemetery, where the pro-
cession will form on either side the Con-
federate graves, leaving space for the
children to go through and strew flow
ers. AS they pass on other organiza-
tons will follow until the Ritlemen
arrive. who will close up and fire salute,
thereby ending the ceremonies of the
day.
The programme as arranged, it is
hoped will be satisfactory and will be a
credit to the noble women who so well
care for the graves of the Confederate
dead.

FIRE AT JESUP.
The Ahamaha Hotel Destroyed-Loss
Estimated at $4,000.


Estimated at $4,000.
The Altamaha Hotel of Jesup, will
all its contents was destroyed yesterday
by fire.
The fire was first discovered about {
o'clock and was burning on the outside
of the building, one part of which had
been saturated with oil, evidently the
work of an incendiary.
The building was large double story
one and contained many rooms occupied
by boarders, the telegraph ard express
offices and the joint ticket office of the
Brunswick and Western and S. F. & W.
railroads.
Everything in the building was a total
loss, nothing that was at all valuable be-
ing saved. The guests of the house bare
'ly escaped with their lives.
The building was owned by the Plant
System, and was valued at near 81, 900.
The furniture and goods in it were worth
at least %, 900 making probable loss of
$1,000 1t is safe to presume that it
was fully covered by insurance.
