CITY GETS BOOST
FOR FINE HEALTH
PROMINENT INDUSTRIAL INSUR-
ANcE COMPANY SENDS OUT
IMPORTANT BULLETIN.

One of the finest boosts Brunswick
has received for years is that given
this city by the bulletin of the Con-
tinental Aid Insurance company of At
lanta, which has a branch in this
city as we'll as in two score other
Georgia cities and towns.
The bulletin shows the health ex-
perience of 557 cities and towns where
there are branches of this and allied
associations. Among the Fifty Lead
ers" or the honor roll, Brunswick
stands seventh.
Thousands upon thousands of these
bulletins have been sent out through
the country and the ad thus given
is a fine one. 1t is believed that by
a possibly little closer attention to
sanitary regulations Brunswick may
be advanced to even a higher place
before the 1910 bulletin is issued The
record is not mortuary statement,
but is known as health bulletin.
Manager Dix of the local agency. is
naturally proud of the standing of the
Brunswick division.

four concerns showing almost unmIs-
taxable signs of the work of the

When George w. Harper opened up
his Gloucester street store yesterday
morning evidences of burglars visit
were quickly found. The gang after
forcing a. entrance through Il Iear
window touched The cash register for
its contents, about $50. They tried
the safe, but failing to get into ii,
left the place through the rea.~ door,
carrying the key with them.

of the Harper store. The bars of a

The Brunswick Steam Laundry CT

also received visit during the night.
The drawers of the several desks
were emptied on the floor and a money
drawer cleaned out Only few cents
In change had been left out Friday
night so that the thieves made a
third water haul at this plate.
At the store of the Evelyn Mercan-
tile company, on the corner of and
Wolf streets, the thieves finding no
money in the cash drawer took sew
eral pairs of gloves, number of
shirts and several suits of underwear.
The loss was reported to the police
at about $50.
AS there were no working clues left
by the burglars the police department
up to late hour last night had been
unable to locate the stolen goods or
any member of the gang. One or
two negroes picked up early yester-
day and held on suspicion, will be
released today
The boldness of the gang in enter
ing two places on Gloucester street,
which are passed so frequently dur

pers of the gang are familiar with
each place The police believe the
thieves visited Harper's and Andrews
