LAST NIGHTS ENTERTAINMENT
Children ofthe Grammar School Pleased a
Large Audience.

LAST nights entertsinment, as rem
dered by the Grammar school children,
ettracted one Of the largest crowds that
eveTA assembled in the opera house
There was not a vacant seat anywhere
except in the gallery. and at least 8
hundred people were compelled TO stand
up during the whole performance. The
curtain went up promptly at 8 80, and
the last seer was brought to a close
and the curtain fell for the last time at
9;45 Thus the entire performance oc
cupied the attention of delighted
audience for an hour and quarter. The
whole play was most beautifully rem
dered, and was a plea sing display of
instructive patriotism, such as the ohil-
dren will not soon forget. Where at
least hundred and fifty little children
took part it is not possible to give names
but it would not be proper to fall to
mention the mound builders, the aztecs,
the Indians, the army and the navy.
Clyde Holmes IS Unole Sam. was quite
a success. John Holtzendorf shows
gifts as an orator. Mary Ellenwood
and Alex Webster gave an excellent
song and dancs. The SUCCESS of the
hole program was due to Miss Rita
McKinnon and Miss Alice Wrench, who
trained the little folks, and TO Mrs.
Frank Wrench who rendered the entire
musical part of the program.
The entertainment will clear about
$l25, which will bs used to buy books
for a grammar school library and a
small collection OF books as a begin
ming toward technical library for the
use of the teachers. This ls the good
feature of the entertainment, and we
cannot fail to emphasize the fact that no
time was lost from regular school work
in training for the performance. The
little girls and boys certainly did we'll.

GLYNN COUNTY SOIL.
It Is the Garden Spot and will Produce
Almost Anything.

That Brunswick Is the garden spo.
Of the world Is more and more clearly
dem monstrated every day.
A TIMEs>CALL reporter In making
his rounds noticed that all the different
produce houses were displaying many
kinds of fruits, such as straw wberriss,
blsckberries, huckleberries and plums,
and upon making inquiry he learned
they were raised right here around
BrunswicK. He also learned that this
was rather early for such fruits as
above mentioned, but the weather has
been 80 very sa'ubrlous this year that
any kind of plant could be grown out
doors and fruit is pushing ahead
early.
AS general thing the prices of such
things are very high as they are all
shipped, but on account OF their bein 2
raised at home they are within reach
of all.

The Shareholders On the
BIB.
ATTRACTING MUCHATTENT|ON
The Investor and the Settler are
Watching the New
Railroad.

The shareholder" a strong financial
publication Of New York has the fol-
lowiog about the Brunswick & Biz
minghsm railroad.
1.-The pronounced progress which the
Brunswick and Birmingh m railroad is
making proves that there is som sthinp
in this project Of more than ordinary
interest. The charter for the road was
only granted last December, and
during the following month the frst
rail was laid, Since then continuous
series Of conventions and meetings
have been held looking to the granting
of the right of way and the subscrip-
ti0n to the stock and bonds OF the
company, The Southern press has
teemed with articles and advocating
the building Of this par ticu ar railroad.
Public sentiment has been aroused in
its favor frcm the Atlantic to the
Pacific. We In the north have been
SO interes ed in our own peculiar rail-
road situation that We have overlooked
this Southern project, but its import
snoe will soon force itself upon US.
1.-THE interesting thing about the
BrunswiOk and Birmingham railroad
Is that it is the FIRST step in new
tFanscontinental railroad system which
will connect two Of the best harbors to
be found on the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts. In addition to this, the distance
between these points 10 some twelve
hundred miles less than from New
York to San Francisco or Seattle and
fifteen hundred miles shorter than
existing lines between New York and
San Diego. For this reason the im>
mense transoontinental traffic which
everybody feels will soon eet in between
Europe and the Oriental cou ntries, and
whloh must pass across the continent
at some point. will find In this road
just what 1t wants.
1.-THE idea of building this thirty
second parallel line is not new one.
1t has been discussed for sixty or
seventy years past, but it seems to have
been left to the present head Of the
road to get 1t started in pra ctioal shape.
Wherever he goes he meets with an
enthusiastic welcome, spd only last
week convention was held in the
little town of Sycamore, Ca, and
kilograms to the New York Herald and
other papers here ell OF subscriptions
of as much as three hundred thousand
dollars In aid 0fit, besides an absolute

AS an evidence of the eathu iasm Of
the people only last week the city OF

river, connecting the states OF Georgia
and Alabama. this beir G the only nav
