Brunswick, Ga. July 12.-Heavy ship
ments of gravel and Stone are coming
! through Brunswick for the Fernandina
Notifications. They come by rail and are
lighlered over ST. Andrews bar TO the
forts. This Is said to be done because of
the lack of railroad accommodations al
| Fernandina, and the necessity for quick
transportation.
From expressions heard on all sides, the
purchase of the Oglethorpe Bank build
ing for court house purposes seems TO
have pleased the people. Ii is looked upon
as a solution of the court house problem,
which has worried the taxpayers no little
for many months past. The county has
secured a good investment for its money.
and the officials have a secure place for
all records
The Southern Railroad has evidenced its
desire to give good service to Brunswick
ians several times lately Frequently the
trains bearing the Morning News and
other muchly desired mall have missed
connection at Everett city, and each time
the Southern has run an extra train out, at
unusual hours to bring the mail in These
and other accommodations shown the pub
lie are beginning to be generally recog-
nized.
A movement is on foot to place Capt.
Sam Curtis at the head of the Second Bat
talon, naval reserves, as commander. This
is provided that the Second Battalion re-
mains as an organization. capt. Curtis
was recently elected an ensign in the
second battalion, and Is a man of much
seafaring experience. He at present holds
the position of harbor master at this port,
and is regarded as a fine ship master.
News comes to Brunswick that James
Doyal, formerly a young attorney of this
city, is now enlisted on the monitor Pas

coast
1t is reported amongst the shipping fra
ternity that the American bark George
s. Homer Homeon, master, has been lost.
The Homer sailed from New York for
Hong Kong some months ago, and has not
been heard from siPce. Capt Homeon
was an old trader in these waters.
The steam tug Inca, now on the ways
a Jacksonville, win soon come off and be
in fine shape. She. has been fitted with
powerful new boiler and made over again
In many parts.
The British steamship Dromore arrived
in port last night to take on a cargo from
the Johnston Line, for European ports.
This makes the third steamship this month
for that line and exports for July will
get good results from the shipments.
The American schooner Kate S. Flint
cleared yesterday for Colon, United States
of Colombia. This is an unusual clear
ance just now, as American vessels nave
been combining themselves TO the coas ting
trade since the war began.
The local Republicans seem to think that
the present split in Glynn offers a fine OPP
portunity for them to run their men in
and they are not slow to take advantage
of the situation. In the meantime there
does not seem to be any possibility of adj
justing the differences between the local
Democrats. The Good Government Club
announce themselves as not feeling bourd
by the action of the state convention in
recognizing the administration delegates
and the sanction given the method of their
selection by the committee on credentials,
and the convention which later adopted
their report.
The selection of man to succeed Capt.
r. Ernest Dart in the race for represen-
tative has not yet been made, although it
is very probable Col. Kay will be chosen.
