CAME TO TOWN.A Big Excursion Gave- the City Some Extra Life Yesterday.THE ISLANDS AND THE TOWNWere Lively with Strangers—They Will Spend Three Days—The Southern Brought Them.Brunswick was invaded yesterday by a large crowd of people from Macon and the towns along the line ofthe Southern railway. It was about the last excursion of the summer season, and those who had not enjoyed the pleasure of a trip to the seashore earlier in the summer came yesterday, The special train arrived at 2:30, making a very quick ian from Macon. Many of the excursionists found lodging places in the city, while others went to St. Simon. Among the arrivals was a colored baseball team, which crossed bats with a Brunswick team yesterday afternoon.The train brought 900 people. Many of them left on the Governor Salford for St. Simon and Cumberland. The streets were alive with the remainder yesterday afternoon and last night. They bought freely of the wares offered in the business houses, filled up on sodawater and—some of them—on other things, hired all the bicycles in the local renting agencies, patronized the livery stables and increased the registers of the hotels and boarding houses.Their tickets are good for three days, and many of the excursionists will stay the limit. Those who remained in the city yesterday will go to the islands today, and those at the islands will come up to the city . The excursion was a great benefit to Brunswick, and suggests that others arranged at stated periods would be valuable to the business of the town.
