The grocery store of A. G. Bugg
burned yesterday. 1t was insured for
$500 in the Imperial, and the stock was
insured for 5000 in the Phoenix, and $500
in the Agricultural. The fire losses
for the year will prove very small I'M
less some big ones occur this month
and the Brunswick department can
Justly be credited with keeping down
some fires that seemed like they would
be very destructive. The department
is not large, but it is a good one, un-
der the direction of Chief John G.
Green.
Joe Johnson, the alleged negro muir
derer from Florida, proved not to be a
murderer, and so far as is now known
his chief crime is gambling. The local
officers turned him loose when they
became convinced that he was not
wanted for murder, as they had no
evidence against him for any other
crime.
A negro suspect, brought up from
Fernandina, proves to be Arthur Graz
ham, wanted in Glynn for burglary.
He was arrested at the instance OF
officer Luther Lamb. who thought he
had another man held, but is glad to
get this one. The Brunswick officials
are stirring up the criminal element
and are now following several clews
that promises interesting developments
at no very distant date.
The Rio Hondo cigar factory, new
industry, located by Brunswick's ener-
! getic Board of Trade, will begin bust
ness within few days. The arrival OF
| cigar makers will complete all prep
arations, and they are expected this
week.
Another industry located by the
Board of Trade will have its machin-
cry placed at an early date. This is
a sash, door and blind factory, owned
by MIR. Gosch. of North Carolina, who
has moved to Brunswick and is now
getting the buildings ready for his ma
chinery. The Board of Trade is COM
POSED of live men, and they are con-
stantly on the lookout for something
that will benefit Brunswick.
There are rumors that the new year
will bring some additions to Bruins
wick's police force. The need Of a larg-
Ell force has been recognized for some
time, but the city's finances would not
admit of an increase in expenses.
The oyster packing industry has been
booming in Glynn this winter and
something like 10000 cases will go
out. Both factories are running on
full time. and employing all the hands
they can get while several teams are
kept constantly employed hauling ship
ments to the cars. This Industry
languished around Brunswick for a
YEA VI LWO SuDsEqu0Il 10 the
ton of the buildings by the storm of
1898, but is now being carried on at
a greater scale than ever before. A
small army of men and women are en-
ployed at the factories and on the water
in boats gathering the bivalves, while
every one of the oyster beds around
here are regularly patrolled by good
salaried men whose duty 1t is to keep
off poachers. TO visitors the oyster
factories are always interesting sights,
while to the business men they repre-
sent lots of money that is paid out
weekly to the employees.
Viborg is the name of a new post
Office established by the department
at the cypress mills of the Taylor
Cook Company, near here.
In accordance with the announce
ment previously made in these dis
patches, Mr.. L. A. Robinson was last
night formally elected captain of the
