Is He Now an Evangelist in Africa.
Brunswick, Ca, Dec 10.-Some months
ago it was published that the notorious
Bob Brewer, who became conspicuous as
a murderer around Jesup and Norman
dale, had moved to Liberia on board the
steamship Horsa, when she sailed from
Savannah and was now a leading evan
gelist amongst the immigrants who left
Georgia for that country. However, much
truth there may be in the publication, it
is certain that there is a postoffice named
Brewerville, at which some of the immi-
grants from here are stationed. Recently
Postmaster Brown received a letter for
local delivery which bore the postmark
'Brewerville," in plain letters. From this
place to Monrovia 1t required twenty-sev-
en- days to make the trip, and from Mon
rovia to Liverpool via British packet, took
twenty-three more days. From there to
New York was seven days, thence to
Brunswick, two, making a total of fifty
nine days the letter was en- route from
Brewerville to Brunswick.
