The Brunswick news. [volume] (Brunswick, Ga.) 1906-2016, 1907-01-08

WGs one of the most eventful In the
i-history of our beloved city The i'm
.petus given to all classes Of enter
prise by the stupendous work inaug-
urated by the A., B. & A. railroad Is
apparent. not only to our own citi-
zens. but to everyone wno visits us.
So to speak the eyes of the entire
country are directed towards us and
yet we are only on the threshold of
wonderful Developments which the
,Resr. future win disclose to all. The
sss3lis which will accrue to
the A.. b, & 4. are - sl@ad. joined
with the magnificent works of our
other two great railroad systems are
amost incalculable.
We are hopeful that at an early
day the Georgia. caast and Piedmont
Railroad will nave made Brunswick
Its terminus wl@ch viii still further
augment our prosperity
am happy TO be able to state that

insure us thirty foot channel from
our docka 10 the sea which will

acted through our port in such man
uer as to attract the attention OF the
commercial world
WI We. as toe chosen odlclaIs of
the people. measure up to the respon-
aslbiltles and obligations which rest
MON us and SO conduct the affairs

Some Nsses we viii undoubtedly
make but lct striye to be cautious
In all our actioiA SO that we may
obtain the greatest possible good for
all our people.
This ia not the time. II such a thing
can ever be desirable, for the contin-
uance of factional disputes, quarrels
or fights. We are the representatives
of all the people and our official act
ions should ae SO fair and unprejud-
iced as to command the approval Of
every upright citizen.
We can never. as a city attain that
success which we desire unless our
people win work together in 1ar
n1ony. All of liz cannot be expected
to thoroughly agree on many propo-
sitIous but let us. where the interest
of the city is concerned. forget sci
fshness and partianship and be will
ing to mako concessions. If neces-
sary, to those VINO may have differ
ent opinions from oA-s, (unless a
principle should be involvel,) so har.

which can only be secured through
united effort.

In the matter Of public works Of
