The Theatre To-Night.
The Juo. T. Ford Amateur Association
give their performance at the Theatj-e this
evening for the benefit of the St. Joseph’s
Infirmary, and from all the indications we
predict there will be a crowded house. A
fine programme has been adopted, and an
entertainment of rare excellence may be ex
pected. The rehearsals have been most
satisfactory, and the Amateurs will un
doubtedly reflect credit upou themselves
this evening, as they have on previous occa
sions. Tlie Infirmary is one of the best in
stitutions in the city, and we trust a goodly
sum will be realized.
The performance ih;s evening will open
with a charming drama entitled “The Maid
en’s Sacrifice,” followed by an olio, and the
“Veteran Volunteers,” a most capitally
written sketch, by the gallant Captain of
the Volunteers, and will conclude with the
“Rivals.” The full strength of the associa
tion will be brought out iu this programme
and our citizens may rest assured they will
witness an entertainment which will reflect
hojjor upou the association, and ^hich can
be viewed with no little degree of local
pride.
A Lively Hon About Board.
The vicinity of the Central Railroad
wharf Saturday morning was highly enter
tained by a combat between an Irishman, on
one side, aud a constable, aided by a land
lord of a boarding house, on the other, It
was suspected that the Irishman was going
off on the steamship City of Savannah with
out paying his board bill, and so his land
lord sent the constable after the de
faulter. Th« letter, however, declined
to be arrested, and a lively fight ensued,
during which the IJiijemian was con
siderably used up. lit g’as rolled
over in the dust, which, miugied with the
Mood that flowed freely from a scratch qd
his face, so completely changed the
usually amiable expression of his” counte
nance as to render him beyond the recogni
tion of his best friends. . He was, however,
finally overpowered, bound and carried off
iu a wagon triumphantly to jail.

The Individual military Contest at
the State Fair.
A friend furnishes us with the following
particulars of the individual military con
test at the Macon State Fair on Thursday,
in which our Savannah Cadets participated:
“A squad of five (5) men each from the
Gate City Guards of Atlanta, Dahlonega
Cadets of the Agricultural College, the
Savannah Cadets aud Macon Volunteers
were drawn up in line for drill. It was
understood by the different squads
drilling that if the orders were not dis
tinctly heard their members could re
tain their places. The drill commenced
with Capt. Dudignon, of the Milledge-
ville Cadets, and Lieut. Ellis, of the
United States Army, acting as judges. Af
ter 6ome time a member of the Gate City
Guards was dropped, but was reinstated
without any cause or reason. After a short
while the rauks were thinned by two of the
Gate City Guards being dropped out, fol
lowed In a member of the Dablonega Ca
dets. The drill continuing. Private E.
Derby, of the Savannah Cadets, was ordered
out, thus leaving only four to tight for Sa
vannah’s honor. Derby was followed
quickly bj’ three of the Dahlonega Cadets.
After some rest the drill was resumed and
aMaconite retired. Then followed two of the
Gate City Guards, leaving one man to
battle lor the fair name of Atlauta. The
last man of the Dahlonega company was
ordered out, thus leaving the battle to Sa
vannah, Atlanta and Macon.
“ Then came Corporal Mell, of the Savan
nah Cadets, the little band of Savannah
heroes having dwindled down to three. He
was quickly followed by a Macon Volunteer,
ieayinr three Savannah Cadets, one Gate
City Guard and one Macon Volunteer, Pri
vate Edwards. After tome rest the squad
was ordered to fall in and the contest was
renewed. Corporal Lovell, of the Savannah
Cadets, was ordered out, who was followed
quickly by Corporal Dasher, who was
averse to leaving his fellow comrade stand
ing ‘in the cold and alone.’ Then came
the tug of war, Atlanta, Macon and Sa
vannah all wishing that their champions
would t*e winner. After a stubborn
fight, Private Win. *«*. IJaig, of the Gate
City Guards, was thrown ‘out. Again did
Macon and riayapnah tussle tbr the victory,
and a protracted struggle was the result.
“Corporal E. \V. Cubbedge, of the Savan
nah Cadets, owing to slowness in drilling
(his only faulty was ordered out, thus
leaving Private \\\ P. Edwards, of the
Macon Volunteers, victor, after one of the
best contests ever keen hj Middle Georgia.”
Pink Domino*.
On the 6th instant Savannah will be fa-
voted with an engagement for three nights
of one of Manager Ford’s excellent compa
nies—burlesque. Entirely new’plays will be
presented, among them the society drama,
“Pink Dominos,” which was a great favorite
in N«.w York for months, and drew large
houses. Abounding in wit and laughable
situations, it takes with the most exacting
audience from the very first, especially, says
the Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist,
if it is played by actors of as much merit as
those who tilled the respective roles last
night. Mrs. Blanche Ford, nee Chapman, is
ope of those sparkling, vivacious actresses
whose talents would redeem even the dull
est play, but when she appears in such a
really charming comedy as that beiore us,
she is irresistible. Her Lady Maggie Wag
staff was one of those delightful bits of
naturalness that takes away even the sem
blance of acting, while in itself the per
fection of acting. Miss Helen Stuart
was exceedingly clever as Sophia. Miss
Bello MacKongie’s Rebecca was excellent.
Miss Adelaide Detcbon as Mrs. Joskin Tubbs
divided the honors of the evening with Mrs.
Ford. She is an actress of talent, and fills
the character assigned her with much grace
and spirit. Joskin Tubbs, the observed of
all observers, was admirably personated by
Mr. George VV. Denham, who is undoubt
edly a comedian of fine talents. The
CharlesGavthorue of Mr. W. L. Dennis, the
Sir Percy Wat.staff of Mr. Frank Conually,
the Henrv or Mr. John Beibert, and the
Brisket of Mr. VV. H. Bokee, was each capi
tally rendered.
The madrigal boys diverted the audience
in the Interlude with several songs.
The performance concluded with a musi
cal farce, in which Mrs. Ford and Mr.
Denham again delighted the audience. Mrs.
Ford has a very sweet voice aud sings with
fine effect.
THE UNHOLY ALLIANCE.
Last Kick of Expiring Radicalism,
Below we give the full text of the circular
of the Radical Corkerites, which is being
secretly circulated among the colored voters
throughout the district. As some curiosity
has been expressed by Democrats to see
this remarkable Radical document, and as
the Corker organ refrains from giving it to
its readers, Ignoring the existence of
Radical party in Georgia, we print the docu
ment in full, signatures and all, in order
that our Democratic friends who are sup
porting Capt. Corker may know who are
their allies in this war upon the Democratic
party, and duly appreciate their aid :
TO THE COLORED VOTERS OF CHATHAM COUN
TY AND THE FIRST CONRES3IONAL DISTRICT
OF GEORGIA.
On next Tuesday, the 5th day of No
vember, occurs the election for members
Congress. To vote at
of
election
iy
is a priceless boon, the assertion of and
the guarantee and security for your
new-found liberty and citizenship, and
as such it is a sacred duty which you should
never fail to perform. The ballot is the
distinctive badge of your freedom and the
exercise of the right which it confers is the
chief title to your claim to be free American
citizens. In order that your rights should
be recognized by all political parties
you must assert them at the ballot
box, and to insure proper respect
and proper treatment of yourselves
you must vote against men or parties who
would attempt to deprive you of them or
restrict you in their exercise and for the
men who are willing to concede them to
you and protect you in their peaceful en
joyment. The candidates offered for your
suffrages are Col. John C. Nicbolls and
Col. Stephen A. Corker. Col. Nicbolls is
the candidate of the Democratic party—
Col. Corker is the candidate of the Indepen
dent Greenback Labor party.
As colored men, as life-long Republicans,
as men who in giving you baa advice would
be false to ourselves and our children—for
we are of your race and lineage—we
earnestly exhort you to come to the polls,
and exercise your rights as free men and
citizens by voting for Colonel 8tephen A.
Corker.
Let no false friend persuade you to cast
your ballots for Col. Nicholls, the candidate
of the Democracy. Let not money buy
your God-given right in the exercise of your
own private judgment, to vote for the can
didate of your choice; and as you value
your rights, as you cherish your interests
and hope for better times in the future, let
your choice be Stephen A. Corker, the can
didate of the Independent Greenback Labor
party, and the friend of the poor man and
working man, without regard to color.
You are not required to pay any poll tax
or to register, but can vote without doing
either. Let the colored nien of old Chat
ham and tlie First Congressional district
then do their duty, and when the polls close
on Tuesday, the 5th of November. Stephen
A. Corker, your friend and the friend of
poor men everywhere, will £>e triumphantly
elected to Congress.
You know us as colored men who have
ever been true to the interests of our people,
and as Republicans who never flinched nor
faltered in the troublous times of the past
in upholding the banner of Republicanism—
now folded away in this district, when it
floated on the breeze, and we again counsel
and exhort you to vote on election day for
Stephen A. Corker.

Cutting Affray.
About half-past seven o’clock last. •
difficulty occurred on Broughton street, near
Drayton, between two young men, who, it
is stated, had heretofore been friends. After
some hard words had been passed a proposi
tion was made by one to adjourn to the lane
to settle the dispute by fisticuffs, and thither
they repaired. They had hardly entered the
lane, it is reported, before one o'f them,who,
it would appear, had a knife in his hand,
made a savage assault on the other, cutting
him twice ou the head, and then fled. He
had not been arrested up to a late hour last
night. The injured party was escorted to
Dr. Martin’s office, where his wounds were
dressed. The affair created some excite
ment.

The Latest and .Most Fashionable.
The already large and elegant stock of
millinery and dress goods which grace the
attractive and popular establishment of
Mr. H. C. Houston, on Congress street, has
been increased by the reception of new
goods within the past few days, and more
are on the way. Among the latter is a
really splendid assortment of the latest and
most fashionable styles of kid gloves of the
best make and of all colors. Tlie increased
patronage this establishment has received
the present season is convincing evidence
that the ladies are not 6low to discover that
the “best is the cheapest,” and at Houston’s
they can always get the very best. We
would advise our fair friends who wish to
inspect tbe handsomest black silks ever
exhibited here to call at this establishment.

To the Irishmen or savannah.
Fellow Countrymen—I have been ia
formed by a few of my coantrymen (in
kindness and friendship I believe; that my
fellow countrymen are somewhat embittered
towards me. And why? Because, forsooth,
I stand staunch and true to the party and
political principles of my father for over a
quarter of a century: true to the party
and principles of my countrymen in
America for perhaps a half century; true
to the party that, whilst I was still In
swaddling clothes, protected the Irish exile
and his children from political ostracism:
true to the party that crushed out of
existence that basest of political monsters,
Know-Nothingism; and because, as an ex-
Confederate and a Southern Irishman, I am
true to the party that endeavored to protect
us from the Cromwellian perfidy of the Radi
cal North, the protected tyranny ot the thiev
ing carpet-bagger and the indefensible
treachery of that infamous nondescript, the
Scalawag; true to the party that has used
and still u»es its utmost powers te preserve
inviolate the Constitution of our country
and lastly, because I am true to the party 'to
which mod of you were true a nhort time since.
Or, perhaps it is because having had placed
in my hands an extract from the Waynes
boro ' Expositor, of August the 15th last,
with the information that it was from the
pen of S. A. Corker, over the nom de plume
ot “Africa,” which scurrilous article charg
es the mass of my countrymen and yours
with being beneath the negroes in ignorance
and outstripping them in assassinations, hon.se-
bumings, etc. And all this with a view of
ousting from a political office a one-armed
Irish ex-Confederate soldier. Because I
had written to that Irish Confederate soldier
asking him who wrote the article referred
to, and because I told my countrymen, to
whom I read tbe article, that if I was not
reasonably convinced that Mr. Corker wrote
it I would do him (C.) the justice to
publicly so state; and if, on tbe other
hand, I should obtain reasonable proofs
that the man who, a few nights ago, in the
Theatre, claimed to be the grandson of an
Irishman, was the author ot so untrue, un
just and base a libel on my countrymen
(and on his claimed progenitors), then
would I, as a matter of right and justice to
Irishmen, publish them. Because I have
placed these, which I conceive to be reason
able proofs, iu the hands of the editor of the
Morning News, without comment from
me, but left them to the uninfluenced judg-‘
ment of my countrymen.
And now, fellow-countrymen, in con
clusion, I beg leave to state that 1
am no politician, nor do 1 intend to
become one. 1 am neither influenced
nor controlled in my actious or political
views by any ring or clique. I want no po
litical gilt either from iny countrymen or my
American fellow-citizens. 1 do want, how
ever, to see my countrymen remembered, ac
cording to their political strength, in the
distribution of political gifts. I have never
asked any one to vote my way, nor do 1
now ask any one. I think the “National
Greenback Labor Reform Party” is a Yan
kee Radical dodire or contrivance gotten up
for the purpose of upsetting us here in the
South,aud by my faith 'tis doing so to some
extent. Many good and honest men have
swallowed the ulluring bait, hook and all,
without (1 fear; taking time to examine it,
aud I think that they will, ere long, find they
have been deceived. I, of course,have a right
to these opinions, hence 1 offer no apologies
for them.
Every American citizen has a right to vote
as he pleases. I expect to exercise, un
trammelled, that privilege. Let all of you
do the same.
Irishmen, vote ! Enjoy the proud privi
lege of a franchise which a generous Democ
racy gave and preserved to you, even
though it be to wound the donor. It is your
privilege. Iloping that you will use it wisely,
as I know you will use it honestly,
I remain, as ever,
The well-wisher of my countrymen,
D. J.'Foi.m.
[The following are the documents alluded
to by Mr. Foley in his communication above,
and which are given as ample proof of Mr.
Corker’s gratuitous slander and wanton in
sult of his Irish fellow-citizens. The letter
of Mr. Hamill aud the article over the sig
nature of “Africa,” the authorship of which,
it is alleged, Mr. Corker has not denied and
dare not deny, speak for themselves, and
we give them without comment.—Ed.
News.]
Waynesboro, Ga., October 25, 1878.—
Dear Sir : This is the extract from the
ErjHHsilor of August 15th, 1878, last. It is
known to be Corker’s. He docs not deny
the authorship at all here, and if he does we
can prove it.
You may communicate with Thomas Ha-
mlll, the Confederate soldier whom he tried
to have discharged as jailer.
Yours truly, Perry.

To Tlios. llamtl, Jailer B. C.
Sir—You are pleased in a letter you have
published to refer to iny race in a contemptu
ous manner, calling them names, such as
incendiaries, thieves, robbers, and mean
generally. Do you not know that the bog
of Allen men (and perhaps you hail from
there) enjoy to-day a character for the
most eminent meanness for outrages, rob
beries, fire-raisings and assassination? Pos
sessing themselves of an Island In the bog
of Allen, fhey harry the county of Wick
low, and keep in alarm even the suburbs
of Dublin, and ibis too towards the close
of the nineteenth century. When wanted,
instead of giving straw-bail, they take leg-
bail to Ameriky. When negroes, who have
been held down in slavery two hundred
ears without education and all that, shall
lave, like the Irish, enjoyed freedom for
centuries, do you not believe that the Irish
will still outstrip them in house burning and
ignorance/ Now 1 admit that a few *lrish
have achieved distinction, i >ne became a
Marshal of France, another Prime Minister
of Spain. But the mass are like vourself,
ignorant; proof of which Is the fact that
you heap unsparing abuse througli the pub
lic press upon those who are put under your
charge by better men than yourself. Why
is this* Do you think that is the surest way
to keep the office that urlnga you in monthly

• Africa.
Watnesboro, Ga., October 28, 1878.
D. J. Foley, Esn., Savannah :
Dear Sir—Yours of the 26th to hand this
evening, and contents noted. In reply I will
state that the communication referred to
(“Africa” • was published in the Erj/ositor
of this place last August (the 15th, 1 think),
and was written and handed to the editor by
Stephen A. Corker, the present aspirant for
Congress in this (the First; district.

may oe proper here to
state that I am an Irishman, and, please
God, a Catholic, and being jailer for the
past ten years at this place, Mr. S. A. Corker
saw fit, covertly, to accuse me of detaining
prisoners in custody at the expense of the
county, and did so in public print, without
a shadow of truth or justice. I inclose you
his article and my reply, so j*ou can judge
for j’ourself of its truthfulness.* I am thus
particular to show how little cause he had
for his attack, and more especially his scur
rilous attack on my nationality and religion,
as he did under the guise of “Africa,” and
was brought out by the sentence “Incen
diary and thieving negroes” in m3’ com
munication. You will see by’ read
ing it that “Africa” has placed the
Irishman far below the negro—even as
incendiaries and thieves, raiders, etc.
(You can also see that he says he gave the
negro preachers “a good square meal,” but
then they were not Catholic, “ and imported
THE FLORIDA SHIP CANAL.
Arrival or Major Mahon and His
Surveying Party.
Major Charles Mahon, ot the United
States Engineers, left our city on Saturday
for Florida, to commence the surveys in
tended to determine the practicability of
the proposed ship canal connecting the At
lantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico.
Major Mahon is proceeding under in
structions from General Q. A. Gillmore, of
the Engineer Corps, C. S. A., and is pre
pared to make a thorough and exhaustive
survey of the section of country indicated.
He is a thorough engineer, a man of ability
and extensive experience, and his surveys
and subsequent reports upon the same will
be anticipated with intense interest.
This proposed canal, in the event of its ac
complishment by the government, will be
of incalculable benefit to our whole country,
and the local advantages to be derived from
its construction and operation can hardly
be estimated.
This enterprise, in a general way. has fre
quently been presented to the public. Among
its most earnest and persistent advocates
was the late Col. P. H. Raiford, of St.
Mary’s, Ga., whose articles on this subject
have frequently appeared in these columns
and been read with interest.
This ship canal across the peninsula of
Florida is but a connecting link, as it
were, of the general plan for a grand inland
canal along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts.
Major Mahon evinced his engineering fore
sight in collecting such information as was
obtainable on this subject, and which could
be made available in the prosecution of his
work, as preliminary to the commencement
of his surveys.
Our fellow-townsmen, Gen. McLaws and
Capt. M. B. Grant, who have for a long
time evinced great interest in, apd paid con
siderable attention to, this subject, were
both in conference with Major Mahon dur
ing his stay here.
Captain Grant's experience as an engineer,
and his official connection with the survey
of the Okefenokee swamp aud surround
ing country have given him rare opportuni
ties for studying and familiarizing himself
with the subject.
We hope that the results attained by the
survev’s of Major Mahon will demonstrate
the practicability of the proposed work and
thus lead to its ultimate accomplishment.
A Murderous Assault on a Mother-
In-Law aud Wile.
The neighborhood of Perry and Drayton
streets was, on Saturday morning, between
nine and ten o’clock, thrown into a tumult
of excitement b3’ the rumor that a negro
man had beaten his wife and mother-in-law
to death with a base ball bat. The rumor
spread rapidly, and was soon in circulation
throughout the city. Upon investigation
we ascertained that there was some founda
tion for the rumor, ani that tbe following
were the particulars of the alleged murder:
Andrew Bowles, a colored longshoreman,
has an upper room In a house on the corner
of Perry street lane and Drayton street,
where he lives with his wife and mother-in-
law. For some time past Bowles and his
wife have lived unhappily, aud their domes
tic affairs have been enlivened b3’ frequent
quarrels and fights, and a short time since
he was arrested and committed to jail by
Magistrate Woodhouse for beating his wife,
but was subsequently released.
Saturday^ morning he commenced quar
reling with his wife, and becoming excited
varied the proceedings by beating her,
when that female showing some ob
jection to such treatment, Bowles seized a
ease knife from the table aud cut her se
verely in the temple and in the neck.
His mother-in-law, Jane Prince, who was
in the room, was incensed at this conduct
and interfered, and endeavored to protect
her daughter. Bowles, v/ho was by this
time perfectly furious, 6Cixed a clothes
horse aud smashed it to pieces over
the dame, following up this attaek by strik
ing her a terrible blow over the head with a
base ball bat, knocking her down.
A colored boy on the premises, attracted
by the row, bounced upon the scene and
sought to sta3’ the infuriated negro, when
he was turned upon with savage fury by
Bowles, aud in order to save himself had to
jump from the balcony to the ground
below.
t|Bowles then ran out of the room leaving
the two women lyiug on the floor almost un
conscious, and weltering in their blood.
Information was sent to the barracks and
Policeman McQuade was promptly dis
patched to the scene, but Bowles had ob
tained the start and notwithstanding a dili
gent searoh, managed to elude detection
until late Saturday night,when he was arrest
ed by Officer Folliard and lodged in the bar
racks.
The women arc seriously but not fatall3'
injured.
Family Marketing.
About the only change w^ y D f note in
tho^narke* Saturday was the increase in the
quantity of game offered. There was
sufficient suppl3’ of wild ducks, including
raft, English, teal and summer ducks. With
the exception of the Eaglish, which sold
for $1 25 per pair, all these brought 75c.
per pair. The prices of other game offered
are as follows: Doves, quail and snipe, per
pair, 25c.; woodcock, 70c.; cat squirrels,
apiece, 20c.; hares, 25c.
There was the usual abundant supply of
fish, with prices unchanged. Some flounders
were offered at 12}^c. per pound.
The prices of chickens were somewhat
lower, hall grown being 65c. per pair; three-
quarters grown, 75c. Ducks, also, were a
little lower, muscovies bringing $1 00(S;
$1 25 and English $1 00 per pair.
For turke3s, hens commanded $2 00@
$2 25, gobblers $2 50@4 50 per pair, and a
hen and gobbler $2 50@$3 00. Guineas
were offered at 60@75c. per pair, geese
$2 00(«2 25.
In the vegetable lines, butter beans’were
15oiJOc. per quart; tomatoes, okra and
artichokes 10c. per quart. There was an
ample supply and fully equal to the demand.
The prices of meats remained unchanged,
though there was some beef offered at 10c.,
the ruling price being 12J^@15c.
In the fruit line little \7i*5 uttered except
apples, \rbiuh Drought the usual prices.
There were some oninges, but being those
known as dropped oranges, are not worthy
of quotation.

sprigs could not appreciate the negro like he
did,” Ac.; This part of course he won't
nor can't deny. Neither need he deny “Af
rica,” as I can prove it by the then editor,
the compositor, and even his friend Cot.
Ashton told me Air. Corker wrote it.
I see by the Savannah News of last Sat
urday that Mr. Corker, in his speech the
night previous, stated that his grandfather
was an Irishman. 1 hope he was not. At
least he was not from the “ bogs of Allen.”
And if Irish at all, he certainly must be a
North of Iteland Orangenum r as the history
of the Corkers here are that they ever and
always were torys. Such is their printed
history in this and adjoining county, aud if
such be the fact I can appreciate his attack
on myself, religion, nation, <fcc.
In conclusion, 1 will state that I have no
personal feeling towards Mr. Corker, but
still do not like to see my countrymen made
the tool and footstool of every aspirant for
office, especially men who will one day place
them beneath the negro, and In a few days
after (for political purposes) find out they
are some of the “real ould stock.” I am
eorry I cannot accept your kind invitation
to visit your city ; but, being still jailer (in
spite of Corker), and the building being very
insecure, and a number of criminals who
have made several attempts to escape, I find
it impossible to leave; beside 1 am a crippled
“ Confed.,” and can’t get round much as I
would wish to do. I am not acquainted in
Savannah, but will referyouto Mr. A. Doyle,
G. A. Hudson, M. M. Sullivan, J. B. Reedy,
etc. Very truly, «fcc., Thos. Hamill.
•These articles—Corker’s attack on Mr. Ha
mill and the latter’s reply—were enclosed with
this letter, but owing to t v eir length we omit
them. It is proper to state that Corker’s at
tack fully sustains the statement of its charac
ter here given by Mr. H.—Ed. News.

On Saturday morning a colored girl named
Sarah Johnson, who was serving in the
family of Mr. Philip Debeaux, on Bryan
street, stole her mistress’ pocketbook, con
taining about sixteen dollars. When
charged with the theft, she confessed it,
and gave up the pocketbook, from which
twelve dollars had been abstracted. She
was taken before Magistrate Abrams, and
by him committed to jail.
This interesting female had just finished a
term of two months in jajl for petty larceny,
aud the Magistrate is of the opinion that
she is a grand thief—in brief, has the klep
tomania bad.

Beware of Cheap Kxcltuuts,
And use, if you need a tonic stimulant and
alterative. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. The
liquors of commerce, even when they are not
adulterated, fail to produce more than a tem
porary exhilaration, usually followed by a de
pressing reaction, anything but beneficial
to a weakly constitution. Not only do the
potent botanic ingredients combined with
tbe alcoholic of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
minister to the health and vigor of those who
use it. but the basis—pure old rye. the finest
and most salubrious liquor distilled, is no
mean promoter of a healthful condition of the
digestive organs. Its presence in the Bitters
is essential to preserve their vegetable con
stituents from fermentation, and it unques
tionably augments their remedial value. Few
medicinal preparations ot a proprietary na
ture have ever received such strong commen
dations from medical men.

SPECIAL NOTICE
For two years past a notorious New Jersey
Bogus Manufacturer has been drawing Soui h-
era trade by offering a few styles of cheap in
struments at low prices. The reputation thus
gained has enabled him to sell his better grades
at actually higher prices than legitimate deal
ers git.
W e pledge ourselves unreservedly to furnish
better low priced instruments than his for the
same money, and to undersell him largely in
all other styles. It shall never be truly saiu
while we are in the trade that Southern buyers
could not purchase from a Southern Hou~e as
cheap as at the North. An unprejudiced com
parison of our instruments and prices will
satisfy any one that money can actually be
saved by buying from us.
Don't take it for granted that Southern Music
Dealers can't compete with Northern prices.
It’s a grand mistake. We can do it and not
half try. Give us the chance and we will ask
no more.
