BRUNSWICK MERCHANTS WILL
ENDEAVoR TO RUN THEM
HERE MONTHLY.
FIRST ONE A BIG SUCCESS
Visitors Were All Pleased With the
Treatment Accorded Them While

There is a movement on foot al
present among number of the mer
chants Of Brunswick to run excur
sions here regularly hereafter over the

ing the city
The success of the first excursion
Thursday was gratifying to the mer
chants under whose auspices it was
given, and they all say thar the free
excursion idea is a good one,
1t is the plan OF those at TIE head Of
the movement to get up a subscrcip-
tion among the people OF the city to
defray the expenses of the free trips
Every subscriber will be required to
pay so much monthly, and i'll this way
enough money can be raised very cas-

any merchant in the city. WIZ be good
for one dollar in trade. This idea will
Of course help the merchants The
merchant will then turn the ticket
over to the railroad people and re.
celye their money back.
In this way the railroad the mer,
chant and the passenger alike receive
an advantage, and the scheme is, in.
deed, . good one.
II is probable that the Board OF
Trade will interest themselves in the
matter and assist in making the ex-
curslon a permanent thing.
The excursion Thursday was unques-
tilonably success in every way pos.
sible. over three hundred people
came to the city in spite Of the fact
that it was not deci1e1 to give he
excursion until the latter part OF last
week and the merchants only had two
or three days in which TO advertise
the trip.
hKSly ihNiSHSahl WhJ supsc' iiptl W
the subscription list was satisfied witt
the result and say that they made
their money back out of the excursion
lists.
Out Of three hundred visitors there
is quite little pile OF money spent,
and TO have these excursionists with
us once month would mean a
great deal to Brunswick, and it is
hoped that the several merchants who
are at the head of he movement will
receive the cooperation OF everybody
in the city.

The News has it on very good au
thority that movement is now on
foot and is amply backed by eastern
capital. looking to the construction Of
a railroad line from VaIdosta to Mich
oils
1t is understood that the new con
cern. a charter OF which will be made
shortly. intends TO make Brunswick its
deep water terminus, and it will reach
this city via the B. & b. when its line
touches Nichols.
At this stage Of the game it is i'm
possible to name those who are inter
ested in the movement. but it can be
said on the very best authority mat
a concerted action in the matter is
being made and that a number of well
known New York millonaires are
working in conjunction with their
southern representatives along this
line
It can also be authofitatwely stated
that only recently an emlssary of
Wall street was n the city and at that
time took occasion to interview
number OF our business men in order
To ascertain to what amount they
would assist in the work This agent
aaa thoroughly satisfied with his trip
here and On his return to New York
made a very encouraging report of the
situation.
A well known business man of Mich
oils. who was among the excnrsionists
to the city Thursday, vas seen by a
News representative on this matter
while in Brunswick and in answer to
inquiries he said that Nichols was
wiling to do her very best for both
the b. e. b. and the new line, lie
pointed out the fact that a great tribu-
tary country, undeveIoped, but rich in
resources only awaited the ;oucn OF
capital to make it responsive. lie also
stated. that While his community was
a small one it was prosperous and he
says that he is certain $4,000 can be
raised within radius of 10 miles OF
his postoflce for the construction OF
a aeg line.
Under all Of these circumstances and
when the further fact Is considered
thai most Of Che space between
Nichols and Valdosra is now under
track and that it would be a good idea
for the people OF Brunswick, through
the BOARD OF Trade, to properly ana
substantially take this MATTE up.
In the event that he line is pushed
to ccompletion it gives brunswick ar
feast dozen different railroad con
nections. makes it the port Of entry
for sections heretofore sending its
product elsewhere. gives to 1t an un-
usually large shipment of lumber and
naval stores and actually puts us in
the very closest touch with the
wea1,niest and most thoroughly pros
porous section Oh the wifegrass. IN
the course OF a few days the News
hopes 10 be in position to more spe
cincalIy touch upon this subject, ana
at that time it will give to its readers
more accurate account of the reaf
Of this movement.
