J. Wilder & Co., at the six mile crossing. On the night following, a white man in Mr. W’s employ disappeared also. The most natural conclusion is, that man and mare went the same road and traveled in company. Texas law is a good thing for the suppression of such tricks. CAUGHT. W. T. Gray, the chap above alluded to, was caught Thursday morning at Barrington Ferry. He missed his way during the night, and thus allowed his pursuers to reach the river ahead of him. In his possession was found not only the mare, but also a nice coat and pair of spectacles stolen by him from Mr. D. Davidson. He is now in the “Hotel de Moore,” peeping though the bars, looking forward, no doubt, to the time when he will be permitted to wear, not Mr. Davidson’s new “Sunday-go-to-meeting” coat, but one patterned after the skin of a zebra. Additional Comments: The "Brunswick Advertiser" was a weekly paper, delivered on Saturday, to the Brunswick, GA public. Jesse Wilder had moved to the area and started a business in the turpentine distilling & trade, as he had previously in Wilmington, NC.
