That Was the Highest Offered
for the Old Court
House.
The COMMISSIONERS SAID NAY.
They Rejected the Bid and viii Await the
Decision of the Injunction
Case.
The courthouse didn't sell.

The courthouse didn't sell.
The diIapidated building, which is
not worth much more than It's value
as firewOod, has come to be an issue
of Importance in Brunswick, and is
taking place in history in these days
of its senescence.
Yesterday, before the hour set for
the sale, Attorneys Crovatt and Whit
field posted type written notice on
the blackboard at the door of the
building. 1t stated that an applica
ton for injunction against the sale of
the building was pending, and warned
all parties that the purchaser of the
building would be made a co-defend-
emit.
When the legal hour of sale arrived,
Chairman James s. Wright, of the
board of county commissioners, read
the advertisement of sale and called
for bIds. The highest was made by
Mr.. James Tankersly, bidding for Mr..
j. Nicholson. 1t was for 500. This
seemed to be the top notch of valua-
tion in the minds of the crowd, and it
would go no further.
Chairman Wright announced that
the commissioners would meet and de-
eide whether or not they would accept
the bid.
At the meeting the offer was re-
jected, and it was decided to await
the action of Judge Sweat on the in
junction Saturday.
A great deal of interest has been
aroused in the fate of the old court
house, and whether it is cut up into
stove wood or prolongs its existence
through the operations of carpenters,
it has become local issue of import
ance.

consulting Weyler had led the latter to
step down and out, Is described as alb
solutely without foundation.

skilled workmen In the Globe Ship
building company's yards here sud-
denly quit work this morning and

caused by the strike yesterday of 300

strengthening the hands of the lower

securing any advantage for them
selves.

Marks Was All Right.

There is Brunswick end to the in
vestigation of the conduct of Sanitary
Inspector Veal, of Atlanta. Among
the other charges made against Veal
was one that he entered into a trade
with one S. Marks, for horses and
mules. in which, it is claimed, his &C
tions we're questionable. The s.
Marks referred to recently moved to
Brunswick, and succeeded M. Hirsch
In the proprietorship of the saloon
corner of Bay and Monk streets. Mr.
Marks has shown, however, that in
stead of making anything out of the
transaction, he really lost money, and
his actions were entirely above sus-
picion. ----,-----.

Paris, March "A dispatch from
Canea received here by the Eclair
newspaper gives an account of an al
legged Mosem massacre in the fortress
at Seine by a mob of Christian in
surgents.
The Moslem population at Canea is
deeply incensed over the rumor and
have threatened te attack and sack
the foreign consulates. Excited and
fanatical throngs are gathered about
the streets, and threats of violence are
everywhere heard.
The various warships lying at Canea
have landed an additional force of
marines, and any outbreak on the
part of the Moslems will be made the
signal for open hostilities.
READILY RUPTURED.
A dispatch from Canea announces
rupture between the beys and the
MussuImen Inhabitants, the breach
having been caused by the fall of
Kandamo, which has led the people
to look with suspicion on their Off
cials. The people have appealed
to the Greek vice-oon at Canea to
intervene with a view of protecting
their compatrlots from further mas
saore. AdvIces from Athens say that
the Mussulmen at Canea have become
so incensed that they are threatening
to join hands with the Greeks in their
efforts to free Crete, and that they
may yet consent to the union of that
country with Greece.

Our Leaders.

The republicans of this city have placed
before the people the strongest city and
ward tickets nominated in years. Young,
active, popular, careful men. who are in
terested in the city's welfare and who are
willing and able to push 1t to the front, who
have their lives before them and expect to
live in Owosso. The men are hustlers and
we believe no party can select men who will
more thoroughly carry out the work of the
people. Individually they are strong men;
collectively they are powerful team. Nc
republican need split his ticket. A prohi-
bitlonist can help the republicans and know
that he is acting wisely; democrat of the
old faith can most certainly unite with us;
siyerite will lose no ground in the cause
for which he works by putting on few of
the republican nominees on his ticket. We
greet the voters this spring without blush
and ask for their corporation in electing

The Outlook Bright.

In response to a call issued by the repub'
lican county committee nearly hundred
republicans of the county met with the
committee at Corunna, Monday morning, to
discuss the outlook for the spring campaign.
Nearly every township was represented and
reports made indicate that in most of tn m
the chances are unusually favorable for
the election of the township ticket. Even
in Burns the republicans express them
selves as ready to meet the enemy In an
open fight, and do not fear the result. The
universal expression was that Commissioner
Bristol would run ahead of the state ticket.
Take altogether the meeting was success.
IL for no other reason than that it indicated
that the republicans all over the county are
wide awake, hard at work and determined
to give good majority for the state and
county ticket.

In May, 1912, committee of three were
sent from Boston for a missionary journey
that took eleven weeks, as long now as it
takes to go around the globe. A little later
the Massachusetts society was organized,
then the Connecticut society, and mission
aries were sent to the 'far west" (lthaca,
New York;. Three young students from
Andover seminary, on a journey in gospel
work, conceived the idea of a national orga-
nization, and soon the matter was thorough
ly discussed, and under Nathaniel BoughtOn
a national society was started, the society
including six church denominations in its
membership. Later it was made the
American Home Missionary Society and
confined to Congregational churches. This
was in 1927, making this year the roth an
niversary. At that time the society was
supporting 1875 ministers. The Office was
established at city hall, Park Place, New
York, later moving to 40 Nassau street,
where it still holds its office. Stephen Van
Resselar was the first president Rev. DIR.

society raised and disbursed $777, ZOO, and
in its history has collected and disbursed
over $4,000, 900, having work in every

training school, in North Dakota; in Ten
nessee; teachers have been supplied to

Churches have been aided in building

dren have been sent to some of the Congre-
gational schools, such as Oberlin.
