PROSPEROUS BRUNSWICK.
Many Matters of Interest Reported
From That Thriving City.

Brunswick, Ca, Feb. 25.-One firm of
real estate dealers gives as an indication
of increasing business the statement that
they have received over forty calls for
houses and stores within the past three
weeks. The arrival of vessels from for
eign ports is greater this month than for
any one month in the past twelve and
reports of vessels up and bound for Bruins
wick indicate a big foreign export bust
ness for the ensuing twelve months.
Heavy rains are flooding the lowlands
in this section. The Satilla river is out
of its banks and rising, and some APP
prehension is being felt by people along
the route.
Agent Strachan has secured offices in
the Plant system building for the Johns
ton Line headquarters. The steamships
will load at the Southern docks. Exten-
sive improvements are now under way
there TO accommodate them.
Old Daddy March" a colored man SO
years old is dead. His death arouses
more than local interest because the
majority of Brunswick's Lovers Oak SOU
venirs show him under the spreading
branches of the famous old tree. At home
he was childrens favorite.
There is a belief in Brunswick that the
tug Dauntless will return to this port
The idea is growing that she will again
be controlled by local boat owners, and
now that she has been released by the
government, the opinion is spreading. The
records, however show a clean bill of sale
to MIR. w. a. Bisbee, and if he does not
own the Dauntless. his title is very good.
An effort will be made to have an en-
campment of the Fourth Georgia Regi-
ment on st. Simon's Island this summer.
1t is understood that the individual mem
bers are willing. The railroads will be
asked to assist, and IL favorable responses
are received the encampment will be push
ed.
The Rihemen. local members of the reg
iment, are willing to do their share for
the encampment, and will take the mat
ter up with the roads at an early date.
Col. w. Il. Kay leaves in a few DAYS
for the east, where he will institute legal
proceedings to recover from the ex-stock-
holders Of the Brunswick State Bank

OkEFINOK EE'S CYPRESS.
a Fortune Spent in Preparations 40
Get II to Market.


Waycross. Ca, Feb. 25.-The cypress
timber in the Okednokee swamp, if mar
keted, would bring to the owners many
millions of dollars; but the cost of getting
the timber out of the swamp is more than
is generally supposed. The Okefnokee pro-
duct must compete with the product of
other localities where the cost of logging
is possibly. less. The heavy dredge work
that has been done for several years for
the purpose of opening canals to different
parts of the swamp has cost a magnifi-
cent fortune, and the operation of the
logging requires large expenditures of
money every month. The company has
been compelled to borrow 100000 recently
for the purpose of continuing operations
and Improvements. There are about thir-
ty-two miles of railway and nearly TWEEN
ty-mlles of canals in operation by the
company, and the canals will be extended
as may be necessary from time to time to
reach the timber A large manufacturing
plant has been in operation for over a year,
and millions of feet of cypress lumber
have been shipped during the time to the
northern and foreign markets.
The cypress of the Okehnokee is of the
black variety, though an inconsderable
portion of it is white or upland cypress.
The color of cypress according to the
last expert examination by DR.. Roth, the
timber physics expert, depends upon the
age of the tree; the older the tree the
darker the color. Mature trees range from
300 to 400 years old. DR.. Roth gives the
following as a result of the experiments
on trees taken in the localities named:
Georgia, SS specific weight; Mississippi, 81
specific weight; Louisiana, 80 specific
weight; South Carolina, So specific weight.
No essential superiority exists in cypress
of one locality and that of another. The
rate of growth of cypress is variable; a
tree sometimes requires 800 years to at
tain the diameter of fifteen inches.
The water in the Okefinokee swamp is
reported to be unusually high, probably
higher than II has been in ten years.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Circular.

New York, Feb. 25.-Hubbard Bros. &
Co., in their weekly review of the mar
kets, say of cotton; "A slow improve
ment with many reactions has marked
the course of the market during the week
in face of a continued liquidation of the
long interest in March. The new feature
in the outlook is the growing realiza-
ton in Europe that the American crop
has been over-estimated, and, while they
are slowly entering the markets as buy
ers of their needed requirements, they as
yet feel no alarm at the exhaustion of
supplies which threatens at the close of
the season, unless. indeed, consumption
is in some way checked.
ut was thought that possibly the east
ern question might cause serious difficulty
between the powers and interrupt trade
I'm Europe, but recent developments lead
us to believe that such fear is unfound-
> ed. AT the present time several of the
European powers have decided to pre-
vent the Importation of cotton from In
dia as a precaution against the introduce
ton of the plague within their bounda-
ries, thus throwing upon the American
supply the demand which i'm other sea-
sons has been supplied by India. AT home
the Improvement in trade continues upon
an increasing scale. which, though slow.
promises to soon place business upon
normal basis. As yet, however, the desire
to anticipate future wants has not become
a factor, and trade continues a question
OF immediate supply and demand. With
receding crop estimates and improving
trade conditions, It would seem as though
an immediate advance should occur. but
the disappointment of the past six months
have been so great that confidence in
values has not as yet been fully restored.
lt is becoming more and more evident that
the arguments which we have advanced
in the past were based upon accurate con-
ditions of both crop and trade, which
are now becoming evident 70 all. our err
ror lay in holding these opinions in adj
vance of the trade.

more cheerful feeling. based upon reports

SPECIAL NOTICES.
TO OUR FRIENDS AND PATRONS
AND THE PUBLIC GENERALLY.

Savannah, Ga, Jan. %, 1S97.-Greeting:
The undersigned desires respectfully a
hearing in order to correct a false impress
sion that has gotten abroad in this good
city, that neither the Savannah Ice Deliv-
cry Company. or anybody else for that
matter, has obtained control OF the Georgia
Brewing Association, other than the same
old Savannah stockholders, of which
have the honor to state 1 am one and to
further state that outside of the Savan-
nah stockholders no one will ever obtain
control of this association. We propose
to enlarge our plant. giving us capacity
large enough to do all the business in the
southeastern states. if required, and to
make Savannah the base of operations
tending to largely increase the beer trade
from this point, and thus help along the
commerce of the city. Incidental thereto,
we shall enter into friendly competition
for business in our line on an honorable
and upright basis, having due regard for
our neighbours rights and pledging our
selves to treat them all as fairly as we
expect to be treated.
in conclusion, 1 beg to say on behalf of
myself and fellow stockholders that we
shah make war on nobody, and shall sim
ply pursue the even tenor of our way, fur
nishing you with the best beer that can
be made from the best materials obtaina-
BILE, as heretofore, and do guarantee to
protect all of our customers, and as many
more as will kindly favor us with their
business in the beer and ice line, as well.
The writer further begs to state that
delay in publication of this statement was
occasioned by his indisposition, caused
by the prevailing malady, la grippe, which,
added to his manifold personal duties, rem
dered it impossible heretofore. Very sin
cerely. GEORGE MEYER,
General Manager,
Georgia Brewing Association
