Falling Of values in the wheat market

bushels were said to have been taken here

PLEASED WITH BIG
RRANTLEY FAIR
Brunswick Delegation Spent a
Pleasant Day at Hoboken
Yesterday-Say County is
Growing Rapidly.

The Brunswick delegation repre-
senting the Board of Trade and the
Young Mems Club, who visited the
Brantley county fair at Hoboken yes
terday, was agreeably surprised with
what our sister county is doing to
develop her resources. While three
days rain has materially interfered
with the exhibits, still, with this
handicap, the people of Brantley
ing and visitors are highly pleased
county are making q splendid show
with the displays. w.
One thing that Brantley county is
fc turin2 in the way of agriculture,
is the growing of high grade filler
ard wrapper tobacco and while this
year is their second year in growing
tobacco, they have specialized on one
particular brand that brings to the
farmer all the way from 25 to IS
cents q pound. Hence, it can readily
be seen that it is money producing
crop.
The farmers of that section seem
prosperous and so well satisfied with
their new money crop that it is esti-
mated during the coming growing
season the tobacco acreage will be
doubled and it takes no prophet to
see that in the very near future Brant-
ley county will be one Of the most
prosperous counties in Southeast
Georgia.
Everybody spoke favorably and in
the k;ndest terms about Brunswick
and the friendly feeling that Bruins
wick has for Hoboken, Nahunta and
all of Brantley county and are figur-
ing on a good road from Waycross
through Brantley into Brunswick in
! the very near future, so that they
qan spend their week-ends on St.
Simon Island.
