Darien Timber Gazette
Quite a valuable amount of property was sold on Tuesday last, at the court 
house, commanding fairly good prices.  City lots sold very well and werer 
purchased here.  The beautiful steamer "Cresent City" sold very well and was 
knocked off at $12,100, to Capt. W. H. Payne, Geo. W. Smith, August Schmidt 
and Phillip Evoy, and will be kept in these waters. The "Nellie", that 
exquisite little steam yacht, was bought by Mr. James Foley, from Doboy, at 
$425, and fifteen shares of the capital stock of the National Bank of Savannah 
was bought by Mr. Jacob Adams, of Darien.  While all the property brought good 
bargains, and showed the wisdom of our old friend Captain John Browne as a 
business man and financier.  He usually put money in only the best things.  
The Crescent City has been used in the towing business here for years but has 
been well kept up and was appraised by the estate appraisers at $12,000 and 
brought at the sale a little more.  She goes into good hands and will be 
handled "bang-up."  We hear the sale aggregated $15,080.
