ing a cargo of rails for the Brunswick

sufficient to lay rails some miles beyond

The Southern Advent Christian Publ
cation Society is scheduled to convene in
annual session in Brunswick July % to
2S, inclusive. This convention will be at
tended by many delegates as Adventism
has had a steady growth in the past few
years. In Brunswick there is a good
congregation of Adventists and previous
conventions held here show that dele
gates OF that faith receive excellent
treatment.
Reports from along the line of both
railroads indicate that all crops have
come out considerably since the recent
protracted rains, and not over 20 per cent.
loss will be sustained.
Corn crops received a good boost during
the wet weather ana extra results from
THAI will offset much of the loss on other
crops. All saw mills are at work on full
time and some double time, and have
about caught up with orders delayed by
the wet weather The shortage on hands
has been made up by recent importations
and all business in the woods seem to be
getting along all right. The shortage on
hands was temporarily occasioned by the
large number engaged in building the
Plant Systems cutoff and the Brunswick
and Birmingham.
The First African Baptist Church has
just closed its thirty-secbnd anniversary.
the anniversary sermon being delivered
by Rev. c. H. Young of Americas, and
proving an admiral address. The Bust
ness League, an organization of colored
men that is doing much good along in
dustrial lines among its people, partic-
ipated very largely in the anniversary ex-
ercises and brought out some good
speeches urging cooperation amongst the
colored people for the material as well as
the spiritual advancement of the race
Brunswick is fortunate in having
amongst her colored people number of
well-educated men who have made a
financial success, and these men have
banded together for the advancement of
their people and have invested money in
various enterprises to help the younger
generation. While the fathers practically
manage the business the training they
are giving their sons is having a good
moral effect, and Brunswick to-day has
larger percentage of industrious colored
youths than perhaps any city in Georgia.
The moral effect in keeping down crime
is noteworthy, and If the present advance
ment of the race here keeps up, 1t will
be represented soon in about every branch
OF business.
