Wo publish to-day, ns usual on the
1st of September, an “annual re
view,” containing statements of the
Savunnah markets during the year
just closed. The exhibition mode is
a sincere congratulation. Cotton
receipts at the port were for the year
past about 612,000 bales, against
447,134 at the same time last season,
und against 612,370 during tho sea-
sou of 1876-76. It will be seen,
therefore, that Suvunnuh has moro
than regained what she lost daring
tho calamitous year of 1876, and
exceeds by ovor 60,000 bales her re
ceipts during the business year before
the cpidomic. She thus has, more
firmly than over, fully established
her position as the first cotton port
on the Atlantic coast; and, besides
this, tho published statements of her
valuable and steady increasing busi
ness in naval stores, her increased
lumber trade, and the gratifying ex
hibit made in tho different branches
of business generally aro ull very on-
courugiug.
The outlook for tho coming year
is even more bright. Blessed us wo
aro with the best of health, with no
reason in the wide world to imagine
that this good health will not con
tinue, and with tho almost certain
fact before us that larger receipts
and a consequent increase of business
tlioro is every justification for the
universal opinion that Savannah’s
prospects woro novor hotter.
Wo commend theso facts to our
readers and the public generally, und
sincerely congratulate our merchants
and business menum this flattering
•condition of affairs. We suggest as
n good idea to theso* latter that they
forward to all their friends either
copies of tho paper or tho Letter

Tough Stories*
Miggs was an old resident of Bean-
villc, and enjoyed considerable re
pute as a story-teller. The “boys”
said he wus the best m all Pumpkin
county; but Cubbagotown disputed
the championship by entering into
the lists in the person of one Tom
BealOB. They met in Ike Bustler’s
saloon and proceeded forthwith to
business.
“Just three years ago,” said Beales,
who had the floor, “1 was raisin’ hogs
up on pumpkin creek. I planted
some squash for winter feed. They
were the biggest squash I ever saw,
for one of tho vines grow right
across the river, making a complete
bridge of squash vinos. One day I
missed a dozen of my hogs, und
found that they hod crossed the river
on the squush vines, and had eaten a
hole into a squash that was growing
on tho other side, and the whole
twelve wore sleeping inside that
squush.”
Miggs gave his pants a hitch and
responded:
“Once when I was out hunting in
tho Becky Mountains, £ came across
a very largo cougar. 1 fired at him,
but unluckily missed. I dropped my
gun and started straight for camp.
Soon I saw it was no use so I turned
to my doom, but as the cougar was
about to spring upon mo with open
mouth, I grasped him by the tongue.
£ pulled that tongue with all my
strength, and then I saw his tail
commence to shorten. The harder I
pulled the shorter became his south
