on the south Atlantic coast, and also
shows that the city is in more heal
thy condition at present than it has
been fer ten years.
The report should be read by every
citizen who takes an interest in the
welfare Of the city, and the suggestion
offered by DR.. Butts to the board Of
trade are good ones, and should re.
ceive attention.
The report shows that during the
entire year of 1903 there were only
1873 deaths in the city, including ac-
cidents, etc, which, according to the
last census report, gives Brunswick a

abouts Of His Turnout.
Unique robberies are common things
in Brunswick these days and a thiet
thinks nothing OF stealing horses, bug
gies, cash registers, iron safes. etc.
The latest occurred yesterday, when
the horse and buggy of Judge Max
Isaac suddenly disappeared. Wheth-
er 1t was stolen or whether the horse
simply walked away is not Known.
Mrs. Isaac yesterday eiter. oon
drove to the residence of Mrs. NJ. Isaac
on Union street, tied the horse and
went in the house, and when she re-
turn half hour later, the horse and
buggy was gone. She thought the
horse probably walked off and return
ed home expecting to find the animal
there, but although thorough search
has been made, the animal has not
yet been recovered.
Mr.. Isaac says he will pay a suit
able reward for the return of the horse
and buggy. The horse is about s
years old, roam, while the buggy is a
brand new one.
