The jury commissioners of Glynn

and one, r. II. Parker, who has remov-

There are one hundred and fifty-one

these lists will be increased is not
known but the presumption IS that
both will be added to.

THANKSGIVING Be

Forest and Stream.

Yesterday a list was circulated
among the retail merchants of the
city asking complete observance of
Thanksgiving and practically every
one readily signed. This means that
places of business will not be opened
at all during the entire day and every.
body will enjoy it in his or her own
fashion.
Reports from the country districts
say that the woods are filled with
game, more so than has been the case
in many years, and it is an absolute
fact that the waters around Brunswick
abound in fish and within short dis.
tance of even the city dock.
The fact that the game law viii
have allowed hunting of quail on that
date. the twenty-third instant, is GER
tain to take hunters to the woods in
large numbers. The deer season be-
ing open, many will try for this big
gma.e
Brunswick has more to be thankful
for this year than ever before and
the people realize that this is the
very best place on earth to live with
the very best surroundings.

Is just one OF dozen things for which

they have not fully developed. but just

vivais in this city has there been mbre
genuine interest manifested by so
many people-certainl no preacher

pathetic audiences. Always much low
ed and admired by the people OF this
city. DR.. Sammons has doubly endear-
ed himself to them during these few
days. He not only has a magnetic
personality. but is deeply spiritual
and intensely evangelistic in his
preaching. His great desire is to see
men and women saved from sin to live
lives of righteousness, and this Aas
been the keynote OF all his sermons.
With the exception OF Sunday night
the congregation last night was The
largest Of the series. and the people
gave rapt attention to this last appeal
to get right with God, and to be ODE.
dent unto His laws.
At the conclusion Of the sermon
greeting was extended 10 the "a who

basis of today's exchanges, which
were designed to develop step by

No one. expected this process to go
very far al today's meeting. although
a discussion OF the program was con-
sidered certain to draw ont the opin-
ions of the powers as TO the relative
importance OF the topics before them.
The French attitude in general
