short distance from Apaachic9la
there is a spot where once tae city
of St. Joe, Fla, was situated. Nearly
fifty years ago, MIR. Ruge says the
place was deserted, and there is now
scarcely sign to mark its location.
The property is owned by q syndicate
ard Mr.. Ruge says a plan is on foot to
rebuild the place and make it one Cf
the finest little cities of the coast
district.
A number of Brunswickians are
watching the proposed new plan and
two or three have made the trip there
to investigate. II. II. Dickey went
there in February and was very much
impressed, in fact he decided to invest
in real estate as soon as the property
is placed on the market. S. S. Gibbs
also took a trip there and returned a
few weeks ago.
1t is said that the harbCr is one OF
the best in the United States ana q
great wharf is in course of construc-
tion nov. There is but one road en-
tering the place now and the owners
of the railroad also control tAe real
estate. Something over a half cen
tury ago, St. Joe was cne of the thirty

fever caused the people there to rush
out, leaving their homes and personal
property. They did not return and

of leaving here. but purely as an in

FINED 4 HUNDRED
CASE AGAINST HIGGINS AND COX
WERE TRIED BYTHE MAYOR
YESTERDAY.

W. B. Higgins ard Jim Cox. the
two white men who were arrested
charged with turning in the false fire
alarm Saturday morning, were placed
on trial in police court yesterday and
after hearing the case Mayor Hopkins
found them guilty and fined them
one hundred dollars Of sixty days on
the chain gang.
Cox has arranged to appeal his case
and has made the appeal bond of twice
the amount of the fine Higgins is
still in Jail and it is not thought that
he will be able to make the bond or
pay the fine and he will be pat to work
on the streets.
The case was an interesting one and
occupied the courts time for two
hours. Col. J. T. Powell represented
the men and made a strong fight for
their acquittal but the evidence was
very much against them. They stated
that the confession Saturday was
made in the hope of securing their re
lease from Jail and that it was un-
true from start to finish, but the mayor
thought differently.
But there is more trouble coming
for both of the men. A warrant will
be sworn out in the city court charg
ing them with malicious mischief and
they will be vigorously prosecuted by
the city authorities.
Little or no sympathy is expressed
for the two men. but on the other hand
they are being condemned aAd the
action OF Mayor Hopkins commended.
If they should both pay their fines
they would not again be employed by
