BRUNSWICK'S BUDGET.
Prospects of the Naval Reserves.
The New Colonies.


The New Colonies.
Brunswick, Ga, June 20.-For several
days past slight rains have fallen at in
tervals in various portions of the county.
These rains have had some effect in stay
ing the ravages of the drought and cloudy
days which have followed have relieved
the heat situation considerably for man
and beast. Reports from farmers gener-
ally over the county state that the crops
have failed to pan out very profitable and
planters are by no means jubilant
Ensign Frank A. Wrench of the First
division naval reserves states that recruits
are coming in fairly well for the Second
battalion, which Hayward Gignilliat will
command. About tWenty-three of TIE
Brunswick reserves have come into the
new organization and ten or fifteen more
have announced they will join The pros
poets are that Brunswick will furnish her
share of reserves out of the men now en-
listed. Should enough of these not en-
roll others have applied which will run the
number up to the maximum for each COM
pany.
Letters received from Albert Fendig of
the firm of Brobston Fendig &"Co. speak
encouragingly for the future growth of
this section of Georgia Fendig is at pres
ent in the northwest, where he is working
in connection with the Southern Railroad.
Plant System and the Ohio Shakers, re-
garding sending immigrants down to set
tie lands recently purchased by repre-
sentatives of the Shakers and organizers
of a colony of German farmers from ILL.,
nols. IL seems that these two deals have
been on for over one year and the set
tiers of the two colonies have had to over
come great obstacles to get the farmers
to move. Real estate and railroad men
up in their country have worked hard
against the tide of immigration to Geor-
gia and have not hesitated to circulate
false and malicious reports about this sec
ton of country to accomplish their enc.
To beat down this work and set aside
any natural prejudice which has existed
against the South has been uphill work,
but the advantages of this state are so
numerous over those of the Northwest
that the leaders of these colonies decided
to come. If the anticipations of those a
the head of these two movements are real
ICED, Georgia will have two more colonies
of at least equal size and benefit TO the
state as the Fitzgerald people have been.
One thing which contributed to the sue
cess of the present movements are that
land owners and railroad men were liberal
in their offering and dealing with the pur-
chasers and agents. The absence of any
attempts to gouge the buyers has been
favorably commented upon and contribute
ed largely to making the two big sales.

BAoKsLID1NG OF DEAKIN SNIFF. >
How He and the "PawsOn" Fell Into
the Hands of Satan.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
"Deakin" Smith. his wife and his seven
children were on their way to the camp
meeting at Mt. Gilead. The Georgia sun
beat fercely down upon the red-clay road.
and in its brilliant glare the smooth black
faces and bare limbs of the deacon's chill
dren shone like polished ebony.
The deacon, as beitted his exalted posi-
ton, wore his cherished silk hat of a mod
el of several years back, and the red dust
had settled into the straining seams of his
long-tailed coat of dingy black

and a pair of much-knoted rope lines
grasped firmly in his gnarled hands serv-
ed to guide the string halted movements
of an aged mule.
The deacon's better-half, seated beside
him on the seat OF the creaking old wag-
on, was atrred in a ravishlng toilet OF
black alpaca, her woolly head was sur
mounted by a gorgeous turban, and her

A STORY OF ATLANTA.
"a Georgia Daisy as Written Up by
An Ohio Newspaper.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Cleveland's soldier boys on their way
South found many new friends. The young
Southern girls in particular were anxious
to make Northern acquaintance, and their
demand for souvenirs was humorously per-
sistent They were an innocent lot of girls
as unsophsticated, most of them, as field
daisies, and their drawing talk was a
source of constant delight to the young sol
dlers.
One of these girls stood in the Atlanta
station when the train bearing the Fifth
came in. She was a dark haired little girl
of perhaps seventeen, with a coquettish
sunbonnet on her curls, and a quaint and
serious way about her that was really
charming One of the boys bowed to her as
he passed by, and when she curtseyed and
flashed a smile al him he stopped and
spoke TO her.
There was nothing conventional about
the young woman's school of department,
and yet she possessed an innate air of dig
nifty that repealed all familiarity.
II s'pose you all f'om tn nawth, mis-
tah?" she shyly inquired.
Yes, he was from the North.
AN all these gentlemen, ali they fom
tn nawth, too?''
Yes. they were all from the North
The little woman sighed
9TH nawth mus be a lahge place." she
observed.
Yes, it was pretty roomy place.
She sighed again.
u nevah been away fom Atlanta" she
said. ''Nevah even been on tn cabs. Pears

Then she drew from her queer little reti-
cule a dminutive card and with the stump
of a pencil wrote upon il.
That's my name, mistah." she said as
she handed il to the Clevelander with a
deep, old-fashioned curtsey. He lifted his
cap and bowed gIavely, and then made a
hasty search through his pockets
Really, I'm awfuny sorry" he said,
"but / haven't card with me-"
pitiful look came in the little woman's
eyes.
why, mistah," she murmured, you
don't mean TO say you amt got no souven-
eeah at all foh me?''
And moved by the look of longing in her
innocent eyes the Northern lad handed her
some little trtnlzet that CHANGED to be in his
pocket and bowed himself away.
But he still remembers the fash of those
white teeth and the dimpling smile from

From the Scientific American. s.
Before he turned his attention to navi-
cation by steam, Robert Fulton invented
a marine torpedo which he endeavored to
dispose of to the United States govern
mcnt Succeeding in interesting James
Madison, then Secretary of State, In, the
matter, he obtained small appropriation
from the government for the purpose of
conducting some public experiments. In
the summer of 1905 ne invited the high
dignitar!es and number of prominent
citizens Of New York to Governors Island
to see the torpedoes and machinery with
which his experiments were to be made
While he was lecturing on his blank tor
pedoes, which We're large, empty copper
cylinders, his numerous auditors crowded
around him. After a while he turned to
a copper case Of the same description
which was placed under the gateway of
old Castle William, and to which was at
tached a clockwork lock.
Drawing out a peg, Fulton set the clock
in motion, and then he said in solemn
tones to his attentive audience: Gentle
men, this is a charged torpedo with which.
precisely in its present state, / mean TO
blow up a vessel; il contains 40 pounds OF
gunpoW der and II l were to suffer the
clockwork to run fifteen minutes l have no
doubt that 1t would blow this fertilization

The circle Of humanity which had closed

and grow thinner and before five Of the
fifteen minutes had passed there were but
two or three persons remaining under the
gateway. Some, indeed lost no time In
getting at the greatest possible distance
from the torpedo, and they did not again
appear on the ground until they were as
sured that the engine of destruction was
safely lodged 10 the magazine, whence il
had been taken. The local historian Of
that period remarks:
THE conduct of Mr. Fulton's auditors
was not very extraordinary or unnatural.
but his own composure indicated the con
fidence with which ne handled these terri
bic instruments OF destruction and the re-
lance he had on the accuracy of the per-
Torrance Of his machinery The appre-
tensions of his friends surprised and
amused him. and he took occasion to re-
mark how true 1t was. that fear frequently
arose from ignorance"

New York, June 20.-Stock values gem
orally improved to-day. At the opening
the bears attempted to repeat their sue
cesses Of the last week, and in the first
quarter of an hour brought about recess
sions in the prices of some leading spe-
cialties, but the railways showed resist
ance to the selling movement. The earn
ingS or railways for the second week of
June generally showed Increases. There
was evidence of heavy purchases by
houses representing substantial interests
which quickly steadied the market, and
eventually brought about advances well
above Saturdays closing, although realiza-
tons al times retarded the improving ten
dency.
The rising movement in stocks was part
ly credited to the inability of the bear fac
ton TO bring about liquidation and the
closing was strong.
The bond market was very dull and OPP
erations were largely centered in the spec
ulative issues. Fluctuations during the
forenoon were slightly lower, but the mar
ket subsequently, gained strength, and
closed very firm.
Quotations for government securities
were unchanged for most issues, but old
