The Value of Witch h-HaZel.

Agriculturally, the plant has no value, as it hardly grows large enough for fuel, but makes bushy clump full of branches. It is found abundantly in bush pastures, and the only good thing to be said about it is that it acts as nurse plant for bet ter forest growth, to which it gives way.
 Accidentally, it has great reputa- tion. The extract of witch-hazel is manufactured by thousands of gal Ions in MiddIeseX county, Conn.,, as a remedy for wounds, bruises, etc. It is sold by the bottle and the barrel, and is in wide demand.
 Now comes in tine agriculture. Witchhazel brush-the whole plant, body and branches-is cut up short in a huge straw cutter, and fluid extract is prepared.
 The farmers get just enough for cutting and delivering the brush to pay for the labor, thus getting pay for clean pastures within the reach of the factories. Other parts of the state would like to share, with Mid. dleseX county, in this market for an otherwise useless product. We had our first frost last night, though the woodlands are already tinged with the hues of autumn: which this year should be glorious, for the foliage is very healthy and dluXuriant. .-Meehan's Monthly.

Negotiations are still pending be-

As yet 1Cthing of a definite nature

pie have been furnished with cuts
Of the hospital building and the people
interested at this end have agreed to
make any necessary improvements in
the interior Of the structure that W.
best meet the requirements of the fac
tory. TINS hospital site would make
an ideal factory and it is more than
likely that Representatives of the COM
pany will again visit Brunswick and
give the building a more thorough in
spection.
The question of labor, which is also
q material factor in the matter, 1t is
understood, has been satisfactorily
arranged and if the building VIII meet
the demands of the company there
seems to be no good reason why the

WORK ON BRUNSWICk'S HARBOR
WILL NOW BEGIN IN SHORT
WHILE.
BIG BRIDGES ARE COMING
It Will Take Some Time to Complete
the Work and Many Hands Will
Be Employed BY the New Jer-
sey Company.

The contract for work on Bruins
wick's inner habor mas been signed.
The following from vest erday's Savan-
nah News, relative to the matter. will
be OF interest here:
A contract for the work in the low
al part of the haIDor from Fort Ogle-
thorpe to quarantine station has been
signed by P Sanford Ross and Cap
tain Cassius E. Gillette and sent on to
the chief OF engineers OF the United
States army, a notification OF th.
approval Of this contract is expected
every day.
AS soon as this notice is received
the work of deepening the harbor will
be commenced. The plans and specl-
ications stipulate that the work must
commenced within sixty days after
the approval of the contract by the
United States engineer, but as much
0f the machinery of the contractors is
already here, 1t is probable t'nat the
work. will start at once
The other contracts. for the dredg-
ing In the upper narbor and the work
to be done in the Brunswick harbor,
winch are to be entered into by the
Atlantic Gulf and Pacific Co., of New
YORK, and the Morris and Cummings
Dredging Company, respectively, have
not yet been drawn up, but 1t is
thought that these will be prepared
within a few days Each contractor
is required to give bond of 100000,
conditional upon the faithful perform
ance of his contract
The work which will in few DAYS
be begun by the p Sanford Ross Com
pany win involve the expenditure Of
nearly $500, 900 by the government the
other dredging bringing the amount
up to something less than a $1,000,
Geo. The work to be done by the Ross
company is the dredging of a channel
% feet deep at mean high water, $50
feet wide in the straight stretches, and
from 40 TO 500 feet wide in the bends
from Fort OgIethorpe to Fort Pulaski
The work also includes the removal
Of Il portion OF the oyster lump on the
south side Of Tybee Knoll channel,
between the jctties, one and a quar-
ter miles below Fort Pulaski. it being
intended to dredge to 12 feet, at low
water, to within 100 feet of the Cock
spur Island training wall. The con
tract for the work in the upper harbor
which will be signed in a few days,
contemplates the removal of nearly g,
100000 cubic yards. The Ross Com
pany will be required to dredge al
least 100000 cubic yards for Lne first
two months after ne commencement
OF the work, and thereafter the pro
gress must be at least 175, ,0U0 cubic
yards until the contract is completed.
All work is to be done under the su-
Dervision Of Captain Gillette, the cap
tain Of engineers.
