ports, S6l9,C00. The trade in domestic i'm
ports and exports held up fairly well, but
the foreign business was less than aC any
time for the last twenty years Timidity
of foreign ship owners to take cargoes
from this side can partly explain away
the great decrease shown and 1t is believed
that now confidence has been so large

Several of the naval reserves of the
Second Battalion have returned to Their
home in Savannah, where they will await
the arrival of Commander Gignillat from
New York. These men have been IN
Brunswick several days on expense and
their return simply means a move for
economy sake. They live in Savannah,

will go out under that head when the
time comes to move.

Judge Sweat has denied the motion for
new trial made by the attorneys for the
Cumberland Island Hotel Company and
the company will now probably seek inc
Supreme Court as the last resort. This IS
the case reported in these dispatches sew
eral days ago, which practically involves
the ownership of SIC, 600 worth of property
on Cumberland Island including the FAM
Gus summer resort buildings and every
thing connected with them. If the action
Of Judge Sweat ds sustained the Bunkley
estate will come into possession of the en-
tire property again. Some idea of wht
this means to the parties interested can %
gained from these figures: Several years
ago the Cumberland Island people gave
in round numbers $4,000. OF this amount
one-half was in cash, while they gave
mortgage to cover the balance of S3l 3N'
on this sum they paid about 5000 ID,
terest annually, except for one year, ana
now having defaulted on interest they are
about to lose all they have in the properly.
In addition to what they gave for tuo
resort the company has spent many tnou-
sand dollars in improvements, ana tIo
whole is now in danger of being lost 10
them. The result hinges on the Supreme
Court decision in Sustaining or reversing
Judge Sweat. The suit is of interest 10
people in almost every town and city VI
the state, as stock in the company IS woe
ly distributed amongst patrons of the r.
sort. IL can be trulhfully said OF wv
new company that 1t has undergone se-
we're trials and the failure to meet US
obligations cannot be justly blamed upon
its officers. When they bought the prov

amount they gave for it, but hard tlinvS
