Water Company Decides to Have
New Well Bored at once
Location Not Known.

The Mutual Light and Water Com.
pany will shortly begin the boring OF
a new artesian well, which it is ex.
pected will give a large flow of water
than any of the present wells Of the
company
AS is well known this company has
been short on its water supply for
some time, and very often it occurs
that there is not over few feet Of
water in the tanks,
Just where the well win be bored
has not yet been decided, but it is
very probable that it will not be sit
uated near the plant, as the wells
now there draw about all the water
that is flowing in that vicinity,
1t is thought that with this new
well the company will have ample
water supply at all times,
1t is expected that work will begin

LADIES BUNCOED

But it Develops That the "Daeo" was
Working a Slick Scheme and
Caught Number of Bruins
wick Women.

A number of Brunswick ladies, who
are resting under the impression that
. they have struck some great bargains
in linen good; that they have bought
yards and yards of imported goods"
and at cost so reasonable that they
wish they had purchased more, will.
or have already discovered that they
have been hooded" and instead Of
having some genuine linen which is
worth so cents or more per yard, they
have discovered that the cloth on1y
has one lonesome streak Of linen in it,
and is probably worth t5 or 20 cents
per yard, and at that figure is bring.
ing good price.
If reports learned by a News re-.
porter are true, and we assume that
they are, as some very good authorities
of linen goods have given their opin,
ion, man is at work in the CITY at
present offering these goods for sale
and is selling them under the guaran-
tee that they are smuggled goods, ali
linen and yard wide"
It will be remembered that several
months ago peddlers were arrested
in Savannah, Atlanta and other Geor.
gia cities for selling these goods un-
der false pretenses. and evidently they
are working the same scheme in
Brunswick at present.
An Italian was out yesterday, and
altogether he must haye sold a couple
81 hundred yards as being smuggled
and the cloth has the appearance OF
being genuine linen, aud is neatly
done up in double widths, marked lin.

A well known Brunswick lady pur.
chased about 40 wards yesterday af-
ternoon, and later In the day she
suspected something, and in the after
noon brought sample of the cloth to
one Of the leading dry goods stores
and asked for the opinion Of an ex-
pert, and II was discovered that the
cloth was not all linen, but was a
mixed qu1lity, and only contained
about ten per cent. Of linen.
Several others also purchased some
of the cloth, paying different prices
for it, when It Is worth only about 15
cents per yard,
II is believed that this is the same
scheme that was worked in the other
Georgia cities, and the police will be
notified TODAY and the man, who seems
to be an Italian, win in all probability
be arrested.
The writer, OF course, is no judge
Of linen, and publishes the above from
the fscts gathered last night but il
is known that the man represented
the goods to be smpggled, and when
