side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of the
'shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom
ach is affected vith loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
arc costive, sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain,
accompanied with a dull, heavy sen
sation in the back part. There is gen
erally a considerable loss of memory,
accompanied wuii a painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight,

For all bilious derangements, and

THE ROBERT EMMET EXCUR
SION.
A Gratifying Success and a Pleasant
Day.
According to previous announcement, the
Robert Emmet excursion to Tybee, for the
benefit of the White Bluff Orphanage, took
place yesterday. The steamer Dictator
made two trips, leaving the wharf at the
foot of Drayton street at 8 a.m. and 2 p. m.,
carrying on each trip a goodly number of
passengers, who took advantage of the op
portunity to pass a day of enjoyment on
the 6ea shore and contribute at the same
time to a most worthy object.
The excursionists numbered about two
hundred and fifty all told, and on their ar
rival at the favorite seaside resort men
tioned, they immediately began devising
ways and means for having a pleasant time
according to their several inclinations. Some
proceeded to the dancing pavilion, where, as
the excursion was accompanied by two
bands, the Mechanics Brass Band and a
string hand, they were enabled to indulge in
their favorite amusement to their hearts
content. Othera preferred offsetting the
heat of the day by the luxury
of surf bathing—a luxury which
the splendid beach at Tybee offers every
facility for being enjoyed to the utmost. In
these ways a charmingly delightful day was
spent. There was a marked absence of
everything like drunkenness or disorder.
Nothing occurred to mar -the pleasure of
the occasion, and the party returned to the
city about half-past ten o’clock last evening,
well pleased with their day’s experience.
We congratulate the Emmetts on this
happy termination of their excursion, aud
trust that it will prove as great a success
financially as it did socially.

We call attention to the notice .of Mr. A.
G. Ybanez, proprietor of the Ocean House
at Tybee, in another column. It will be
seen that he denies emphatically the reports
which have been started, to the effect that
he has ever made any charges to excur
sionists and others for the use of the
Ocean House dancing pavilion. So far from
this, he has not only tendered the use of
his pavilion to excursion parties gratis, but
in case of bad weather has offered, and
will continue to offer tnem, the free use of
his parlors at the hotel.

SHOOTING AFFRAY.
Both Parties Slightly Wounded—
They Are Arrcatcd and Held to
Ball.
About 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon, the
reports of several pistol shots fired In rapid
succession, in a 6aloon corner of Broughton
and Drayton streets, were heard. Considerable
excitement was created thereby in the neigh
borhood, and a large crowd were quickly at
tracted to the spot from whence the reports
proceeded.
It was soon ascertained by a representa
tive of the News from parties present at
the time of the difficulty, that the shots
were caused by two young men, well known
In Savannah, having gotten into a dispute
over a game of billiards in which they had
been engaged, and that words becoming
higher and higher between them, finally
the too nibble pistol was resorted to
for a settlement of the difficulty. It
is reported that foj^r shots were
fired by one party aud live by the other, but
owing, perhaps, to their excitement at the
time, neither of the combatants were seri
ously injured, one being slightly wounded
in the shoulder and the other in the breast.
They were promptly arrested by the police
aud marched off to the barracks, where
they gave bonds for their appearance at the
Police Court this morning.
It is fortunate that this very unforiunate
affair did not result more seriously either to
the parties immediately engaged therein, or
to the passers by on the streets, who might
perchance have been in range 01 the pistols.
It furnishes another illustration of the evil
of the practice of carrying concealed
weapons, especially as in affrays of this na
ture in public places the lives of outsiders,
in no way connected with, or interested in,
the difficulty, but who may be present or
passing by on the streets at the time the
deadly weapons are discharged, are always
placed, more or less, in jeopardy.

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
The next Presidential campaign will have
one important feature—it will virtually ex
press the people’s verdict upon the ques
tions at issue "between the leading political
parties. Fpr bpljind our government, be
hind our politicians, behind all the legisla
tive machinery, rings, and petty partizan
organizations, is the real ruler and director
of our govemment-AhG sovereign people,
Every official will be brought before the in
quisition of the people’s tribunal, and all
proved unworthy will be Ignominiously sent
home to tend their farms and their own
business. The people will endorse nothing
whatever, be it a President ora pill, that has
not proved itself a genuine article. That
the American people have so long acknowl
edged, by both word and patronage, the
genuineness and value of Dr. Pierce’s
Family Remedies, is proof conclusive that
their use fully justifies their discoverers
claims for them. No other proprietary
medicines sell so largely. The Golden
000 very is a sovereign remedy for
jucuicoi — a, causes It
all scrofulous, blood, and sum
has pretty thoroughly superseded the old-
time sarsaparillas. The Favorite Prescrip
tion has no equal as a remedy for those
chronic weaknesses and painful affections
peculiar to women. Pleasant Purgative

that the city has no right to dredge the
point complained of ,that being solely within
the province of the United States authori
ties. The report of the committee was
adopted.
ORDINANCES.
The ordinance to prohibit the digging of
cellars or making excavations from the 1st
of July until the 1st of October in each
year, was called up on its second reading.
This ordinance embraces three sections.
The second section proposes a fine of one
hundred dollars or thirty days imprisonment
for each violation, and the third section re
peals conflicting ordinances.
Alderman Ballantyne moved an amend
ment by substituting the 1st of June for
1st of July. Alderman Hamlet moved that
the ordinance be laid on the table. Aider-
man Montmollin called for the yeas aud
nays. The yeas and nays were ordered, and
by a vote of five yeas to six nays the Council
refused to lay the ordinance on the table.
The question then recurred ou the amend
ment. Alderman Freeman moved as a sub
stitute that the ordinance and proposed
amendment be referred to the Health and
Sanitary Committee and Corporation Attor
ney. The motion was debated by Aldermen
Hamlet, Blun and Weil. Finally Alderman
Puree called for the yeas and nays on Alder-
m n Freeman’s substitute, aud the substi
tute was ordered by a vote of 9 yeas to 2
nays.
Alderman Montmollin called for the first
reading of an ordinance to prohibit the
building or erecting of a projection from
the second story, of any structure or water
closet, over any lane or street of the city,
and that if any such structure shall be so built
it shall be removed at the expense of the
offender, and that he shall also be fined $50.
Alderman Blun moved a suspension of the
rules but the motion was lost. The ordi
nance, therefore, lies over to take its regu
lar course before Council.
PETITIONS.
A petition was received from the Jasper
Monumental Association asking permission
to erect a monument to Sergt. Jasper cither
in Chippewa or Madison squares. On mo
tion of Alderman Ballantj*ue, the petition
was referred to the Street and Lane Com
mittee.
The petition of the Savannah, Skidaway
and Seaboard Railroad, requesting permis
sion to erect a shed on Anderson street near
Laurel Grove Cemetery, was granted.
The application of J. C. Ronan, asking
permission to make £ pipe connection on
Liberty street, was referred to the Street
and Lane Committee, with power to act.
The petition of Mr. R. B. Reppard in re
lation to making repairs to a certain build
ing in which he is interested, was referred
to the Fire Committee.
RESOLUTIONS.
The Sanitary Committee was ordered to
investigate the statement relative to the
health of the city which made its appear
ance In the New York Herald, under date of
July 29, 1879. ' '
A resolution was offered by Alderman
Hamlet tfiat tfie §treet and Lane Committee
be authorised to have tbp' bridge which
spans Mu?grove creek, os the Louisville
road, rebuilt. Adopted.
Alderman Montmollin introduced a reso
lution providing that the customary notice
of an election be given to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the death of the late Mr.
Stoddard as one of the Commissioners of

Aldermen and Representatives from Chat
ham in tfie Legislature to draw up and have
presented a' bill * limiting and fixing the
salary of the Judge of' the City’Court of
Savannah to $1,200 per annum.
This resolution provoked considerable de
bate and suggested a number of amend
ments.
It was finally amended to read that the
Legislature be requested to permit the City
Council of Savannah to regulate the salaries
of all its municipal officers. The amendment
was parried and the resolution adopted.
A communication was repaved from the
office of the Sanitary Committee asking the
City Council to have an analysis made of
the 8avannah river water. A resolution
predicated upon this communication was
then adopted requiring the Board of Health
and Sau it ary Committee to make an analysis
of the river water and of the water of driven
wells, said analysis to be taken at different
parts of the city as- well as in the neighbor
hood qf t.he water works, the result of said
analysis 10 be reported to Council.
MISCELLANEOUS.
In compliance with the request of Aider-
man Wpjl» the (Council then ordered that a
letter addressed to Alderman Weil by Mr.
George W. Wylly, relative to the overflow
of his cellars by heavy rains from Broughton
street lane, be read. The letter requests
that necessary grading be done In order to
prevent the flooding of cellars. On motion
of Alderman Montmollin the matter was re
ferred to the Street and Lane Committee,
with instructions to have the grading done.
A letter was then read from the Corpora
tion Attorney, ^udge Wm. D. Harden, rela
tive to the subject of the salary reduction
of tfie Judge of tfie City Court and the ex
pediency of providing that no Judge of the
City Court shall also nil the position of
Corporation Attorney. Alderman Blun
moved that the letter be spread upon the
minutes. Carried.
Alderman Parse offered a resolution that
a committee of three be appointed to pre
pare a memorial to the Legislature, protest
ing against the passage of a bill now pend
ing to prohibit the same person from filling
the offices of Judge of the City Court and
Corporation Attorney.
Alderman Blan moved that the resolution
be laid on the table. The motion was lost.
One or two amendments werg then offered,
but they were rejected, and When the ques
tion recurred on the resolution, it was
adopted.
£Alderman Montmollin then moved that a
copy of the vote, with the names of those
voting for or against the memorial, be for
warded to the Legislature.
Alderman Blun moved as a substitute that
tfie members sign their names to the memo
rial.
r Alderman Purse then moved to lay- the
whole matter on the table.
' Alderman Montmollin called for the yeas
and UayS, and the matter was laid on the
table by a vote of S yeas, 2 nays and 1
plank. - 1 - *
After a lengthy debate on the subject of

Discussion of the Bill Now Before
the Legislature to Establish that
Body.
Editor Morning News: In the Atlanta Con
stitution of the 1st instant appears an edi
torial article entitled, “Opposition to the
State Board of Health,” which contains
some sharp strictures upon the bill framed
for the establishment of a State Board of
Health and introduced into the House of
Representatives by Hon. P. M. Bussell, of
this county.
The editor of the Constitution has based
has criticism upon the memorial which ac
companied the bill, and has evidently not
had an opportunity of examining the bill
itself, from which examination alone could
a correct opinion of its merits be formed. I
desire, therefore,to set forth as succinctly as
possible the main features of that bill, and
thus enable him to present for the considera
tion of his numerous readers an opinion
which will be of practical value to the com
munity.
It provides for the appointment, by the
Governor, of a Chief Commissioner of
Health, to be confirmed by the Senate; aud
this Chief Commissioner, together with the
State Geologist and the Inspector of Fer
tilizers, shall constitute the 8tate Board of
Health, which body shall be provided with
a Secretary. These two officers are recom
mended as associates on the board with the
Chief Commissioner because of the special
knowledge which they possess, and in order
that they may assist him in framing the
necessary rules and regulations for carrying
out the purposes of the bill, and divide with
him the responsibility and the work.
The bill provides further that the State
Board of Health shall, immediately upon
organization, appoint three persons in each
county, who shall constitute the boards of
health for their respective counties. The
county boards shall be clothed with full au
thority to undertake and carry into effect
such measures as they may deem necessary
for the complete sanitation of their respec
tive counties. They shall make the neces
sary rules and regulations for the preserva
tion of any permanent works which they
may undertake and execute for such pur
pose. Said rules and regulations shall,
after being approved by the State Board of
Health, have the force and effect of State
laws, when not in conflict with other laws.
Of the three members constituting the
board of each county one shall be a physi
cian practicing In that county, and two at
least shall be owners of real estate in the
county. The expense necessary to the carry
ing out of the sanitary measures in each
county shall be met by a special tax levied
upon all real estate in the county; and when
ever drainage is one of these measures, two-
thirds of the tax thus levied shall be as
sessed upon the lands benefited by the
drainage.
The manner of levying this tax and many
other minor details of tho bill must here be
omitted. I may add that the chief commis
sioner is required to reside in the capital of
the State, and to travel constantly from
county to county, exercising a general su
pervision over the operations of the several
county boards, and while making these
visits he can command the attendance of the
other two members of the State Board
whenever he shall deem it necessary. He
must moreover be a physician of good
standing, who has practiced his profession
for at least ten years.
From this brief and imperfect synopsis of
the bill may be deduced a sufficient knowl
edge of its main features to render compre
hensible the principal objections urged
against it by the editor of the Constitution,
and also my reply to bis article.
It will be seen that this plan contemplates
the formation of a board whose ramifications
shall extend into every comer of the State.
Not a board composed of nine doctors from
the nine Congressional districts, but one
made of a large number of representative
men from all the counties; a board not re
quiring the assembling in one place of all
its integral pans in order to obtain con
cert of action in the whole body, but
allowing each of the integral parts to
act independently, in order to secure as soon
as possible perfect sanitation of the locality
under its immediate jurisdiction. It is pro
vided with a head to exercise a general di
rection over the whole work, and to secure
as far as possible harmony of action in the
whole machinery. As to the statement by
the Constitution that boards of health, con
stituted on the plan of the present board,
are now in successful operation in vari
ous States, I should like that
paper to name one State in which
such a board has ever practically secured the
benefit.1 of sanitation to its people. The Con
stitution says;
“Tlie State Board of Health and the com
mittee ot the Medical Society know that
their bill is far from perfect, but they know
moreover, and they have acted on that
knowledge, that any perfect measure’ would
have not the ghost of a chance before the Gen
eral Assembly, because a perfect measure would
include an adequate appropriation.” (Italics
mine ) And lurther expresses its regret that
1 should have seen fit to oppose that bill,be
cause it fears that my opposition may have
the effect of preventing any legislation at
all upon the subject.
To this I would answer that our Leg
islature has hitherto shown great good sense
in refusing to pfovitje the p-joney necessary
to continue the existence of a iatate Board
which was of no practical value, and would
show still more good sense by refusing to
legislate upon the subject at all rather than
attempt to tinker at a law which for four
years or more has served as a clog upon the
wheels of progress and has J lU ' t * ue waj
of the sanlta'kion 60 much needed by the
whole State. In 6aying this I would wish
not to be understood as casting reflections
upon the gentlemen who constitute the
present Board of Health, or upon those who
advocate its remodeling. I only wish to
affirm strongly that in my opinion their plan
is impracticable. In Justification of this
opinion I can only appeal to our experience
of the last four years and to the experience
of the people of other States where boards
upon similar plans exist.
A board of health, to be efficient, mu t
be practical. It must appeal to every citi
zen by the practical demonstration that it
secures at once good for himself and his
family, and gp will Interest him in its work
ings. ' Such a board, I think, would be
created In this State should the Legislature
pass the bill presented by Hon. P. M. Kus-
Very respectfully,
J. C. LeHardy, M. D.

THE LATE ALTERCATION ON
THE “.CENTENNIAL.’’
Examination I|ito tlie Charges
Against the Parties Implicated.
Our readers remember the account, pub
lished in these columns on Monday morning
last, of an affray between an .officer of the
steamer Centennial and a negro man, one of
the employes of that boat, which arose from
the negro not only refusing to obey orders
given him by the officer, but replying to him
In a very insulting and threatening manner.
On Monday morning last, Mr. William G.
Lee, the master of the steamer, apppare$
before Mr. Alexander N. Wilspn, \Jnite4
States Circuit Court Commissioner for the
Southern District of Georgia, in this city,
and made the following affidavit:
“Before me, Alexander N. Wilson,a Com
missioner duly appointed by the Circnit
Court of the United States of America foe.
the Southern District of Georgia,personally
came this day, William G. Lee, who being
duly sworn deposeth and saith: That Wil
liam Armstrong, Mathews Armstrong, Allen
Hall, Henry Jones, William House and Jim
Yankee, all of whom are seamen, lawfully
engaged as such on the steamer Centennial,
did on said steamboat, ' on her
voyage from Satilla river to Sa
vannah, on the 3d day of August,
1879, wilfully disobey the lawful commands
of the officers of said steamboat Centennial,
and did continue to wilfully disobey the
lawful commands of said officers, and did
wilfully and with violence resist tfie said
officers in charge of said steamboat Centen
nial, contrary to the laws of the United
3tates. WilLiam G. Lee.
“Subscribed and sworn to before me, this
4th day of August, 1879.
' “A. N. Wilson,
“U. S. Circuit Court Commissioner tor the
Southern District of Georgia.”, -
Upon this affidavit warrants for the ar
rest of the parties named therein (all of
whom are colored) were issued by the
United StatesCommlssloner aforementioned,
under section 4596 of the United 8tates Re
vised Statutes, and all but one of the ac
cused, William House, who
Injured in the affray who could not be
found, were arrested and brought before the
Commissioner late Tuesday afternoon for
examination,
Jieyeral witnesses were examined, and the
testimony taken by the Commissioner is
very voluminous. It was proven beyond
dispute, howeventhat two of the accused,
Henry Jones and william House, the woun
ded man, were responsible for running the
trouble on the steamer, and the former of
these two was, in default of bail, committed
to jail to secure his appearance at the next
term of the court. The evidence against
the other parties mentioned in the affidavit
not being sufficient to justify their deten
tion in custody, they w e fe discharged.
The examinatiqn into the case of William
House will be further continued as soon as
he can be found- It is thought his arrest
will be accomplished within a few days at
furthest.

Indian Spring, McIntosh House,
August 4, 1879.—If the many good
people of this section, who bad
been so earnestly invoking the
favors of Jupiter Pluvius, had imagined
how thoroughly the power of prayer would
be exemplified, doubtless out of considera
tion for the Savannah and other excur
sionists, they would have been content to
endure for a few days longer the melting
beams of old Sol. Unfortunately, however,
the response to these appeals came the very
day of the arrival at this ancient and popular
resort of the pleasant excursion party that
left Savannah on the night of the 30th, and
received accessions at Macon from that city,
Albany, Columbus smoother points, and
for four days we have been literally water
bound. But a word in regard to the excur
sion. On reaching Forsyth Thurs
day morning at 10:30 o’clock it was
found that Dr. Grier had made
ample arrangements for the transportation
of the entire party, the band included, to
the Spring, a distance of sixteen miles, over
a road remarkable for its ruggedness as for
its picturesque scenery. The lumbering
stage coach, familiar in the days of our
fathers, and a number of phaetons were
brought into requisition, and the journey
commenced. The distance was accomplished
in four hours, being rendered pleasant by
agreeable company, and at 2:30 the caval
cade, so to speak, drew up in front of the
McIntosh House, the long piazza of which
was thronged with the guests to bid us wel
come. A majority of the party concluded
to stop at the McIntosh, the remainder pro
ceeding to the Elder House, about a quarter
of a mile further. The new arrivals received
a hearty greeting from the courteous propri
etor, Mr. B. W. Collier, and were soon provid
ed with roomy, airy apartments by his genial
and gentlemanly son, Mr: Whit Collier, who -
presides with so mnch efficiency in the
office. The sight of many familiar counte
nances, particularly of Savannah friends, of
whom quite a number are here, had the
natural effect of tinging “first Impressions”
with a pleasant^cast. The party had scarcely
become domiciled ere the dark, lowering
clouds opened wide their gates, and the long
desired rain fell in torrents, continuing al
most without interruption through Thurs
day night until Sunday noon, the “oldest in
habitant” asserting that it was the heaviest
rainfall this section had experienced in
many years. The result was a tremendous
rise iu the mountainous streams, and the
creeks were swollen to an unprecedented de
gree, the water in numerous places being ten
aud twelve feet above the bridges. On Sat
urday morning the startling announcement
was made that communication was cut off
from Forsyth, it being impoosible for the
stage to cross Rocky creek, in consequence
•of the bridge being some ten feet under
water. This was distressing; it was bad
enough to be debarred the pleasure of
tramping about the country, but to be de
prived the enjoyment of letters and papers
was a calamity that few could bear with
equanimity. Howbeit, the cheerlessness
outside during these three days of storm
and rain, did not extend its influence to the
interior of the McIntosh House, where the
spirit of pleasure ruled supreme, and the ut
most sociability prevailed.
Every evening the spacious ball room is
occupied, and, as tfie music is unusually
good, danciDg is popular and generally in
dulged in. On Friday night the grand fancy
dress ball of the season took place, and the
hall was well filled with handsomely dressed
ladies and their escorts, many of the resi
dents in the vicinity of the spring, among
them the family of Colonel Lamar, of Ma
con, who are sojourning at their summer
residence near by, being present. A popular
Savannah gentleman proved to be the cham
pion dancer, it being considered that be
could execute more complicated steps in a
quadrille figure than “any man In three
counties.” I will not attempt a description
of the toilets of the ladles or note the ac
knowledged belles of the occasion. Suffice
it that the affair was creditable to the hotel,
and was characterized by more than usual
enjoyment.
Ou Saturday evening there was a change
in the programme, and a literary and musi
cal entertainment was given in the parlors,
and the ball room was temporarily deserted.
The guests of course were the participants,
the exercises consisting of music, vocal and
instrumental, recitations, readings and origi
nal remarks. Capt. S. W. Weston, of the
Albany News, was called to the chair, and
presided w|th grape and dignity. \ recita
tion by Miss D—-a, of Albany, and a humor
ous reading by Miss L—r, of Savannah,
were particularly admired. Mr. C—r, of
Savannah, who has been anxious to get
home to attend to important legal business, 0
allowed his anxiety to prey too muah on his
mind, and was found guilty of converting
the parlor into a court house. He presented
a fair case, however, and was excused.
Original punning on the names of guests
closed the entertainment, and the amount
of talent displayed encouraged the impres
sion that there was a gathering of American
punsters in session.
• 1 have had the pleasure of forming the
accjuaintangp of Hon. James H. Blount,
Representative in Congress from the Fifth
district, who has been here for the past
week recuperating. He is very popular
here, and I learn throughout the entire dis-
trict, having been returned ‘c^zigrees four
tjnaa. ia a clearheaded, practical, earn
est gentleman, and thoroughly alive to the
wants of his district, which he represents
with ability and honor. Savannah owes
much to Mr. Blount for his efforts in secur
ing an additional appropriation for the har
bor, at the session of the last Congress.
Mrs. R. E. Lester and family leave for At
lanta to-morrow. Captain A. A. Winn left
yesterday to join the Oglethorpes at Athens,
but his family will remain here a week or so
longer, and will have the company of a
number of other 8avannahians. At the El
der House are Mr. James Bandy and wife,
and Mrs. Wade, of your city.
The heavy rains have done great damage
to the crops, especiallv the corn, which in
some quarters has been beaten down. With
a few fair days, however, it Is thought that
much of it pan be saved. Numerous fences
and bridges have been washed away, and
the loss in this repect, it is feared, will be
quite heavy.
I have refrained from saying anything par
ticular about the Indian Spring for the rea
son that the history of its discovery and the
traditions in connection therewith are an
oft-told story. |u regard to" the value of
its waters, howbeit, I may cite the fact that
everyone with whom I have convei ged readily
add their tribute of praise to its merits and
virtues, and express themselves as having
tjeen greatly benelitted by its use, An analysis
of the wattfr was made several years ago by
the late Dr. R. D. Arnold, who pronounced
it as possessing powerful properties very
efficacious in rheumatic and liver com
plaints.
The McIntosh House is well kept, the
table well provided, and guests can rest as
sured of having all the comforts and con
veniences to be found at such resorts.
Messrs. John Ryan, J. B. Reedy and several
others wh$ came oq tfie excursion trip pro
pose to stay the week out, though a num
ber of the guests will leave to-morrow.
Word has been received that a party of
gentlemen will leave Savannah on Tuesday
for this place. If they do they can anticipate
pleasure, as they will be in time for the
grand masquerade ball which takes place on
Wednesday night at the McIntosh House.
In conclusion it is but proper to say a
word in commendation of Mr. James C.
Shaw, the courteous and efficient General
Traveling Agent of the Central Railroad,
who inaugurated the excursion and suc
cessfully carried out the scheme, 60 far as
affording great pleasure tQ all who partici
pated. He’earned the thanks of one and all
for his urbane attention. B. H. R.
Invitations Extended to South Geor
gia Companies to Participate.
The Thomasville Times favors a grand
military encampment in that city during the
appproachlng Fall Fair. It says the military
display will be fine, and will form one of the
most attractive features of the exhibition.
Four companies will, it is thought, certainly
be present—the Lowndes Volunteers, Val
dosta; the Jefferson Rifles, Monticello, and
the Governor’s Guards, Tallahassee, Florida.
The Tunes says that besides these “there may
be, and probably are, other companies
which might be induced to come; bnt these
mentioned, we think, may be secured be
yond doubt, if* the proper inducements are
offered. A permanent battalion might be
organized on the occasion. Arrangements
could be made by which the companies
could camp out on the grounds. What say
the companies spoken of—and others in
Southern Georgia and Florida—to forming a
camp here for a few days at the Fall Fair?
A cordial, old-fashioned welcome would be
extended.” It would no doubt be a pleas
ant military reunion, but as far as our Sa
vannah companies are concerned, the Fair
is to be held right in the height of the busy
season, when it will be almost impossible
for a large majority of the members of our
military organizations to leave the city.

Competition for Southern ’Trade.
The following from the New York Com
mercial Bulletin may prove of Interns}, inas
much as it sho^fs the plans ipeing laid iu the
Vyest for securing the trade of the South
east: “St. Louis, Chicago, Louisville and
Cincinnati appear to be each trying to get
as much of the trad9 between (he '\ortV
west and tfie Gotten States as they can.
'Pieif railroads are preparing for a North
and South riyafiv *a sfiarp as ever existed
among the great East and West trunk lines.
SL Louis has the river and a rail line to
Nashville, but no control of a line reaching
farther towards the Booth*—* Chicmro
2? the route, and controls the
^ .ie and Ohio Road. Louisville has just
put Evansville out of the fight, and owns a
line that penetrates Alabama, and will soon
reach Florida. Cincinnati will soon have
the most direct line to Georgia and South
Carolina, Including the best South Atlantic
ports. Chicago and St. Louis will contend
for the trade of Mississippi; Louisville has
the best chancy of securing the larger share
of the Alabama trade, but, as the case
stands, she may soon have to surrender to
Cincinnati most. If not all, of the trade of
Georgia, South Carolina and Florida.”
Still Further Deductions,
In order to make room for a large and va
ried stock of fall goods, Mr. H. C. Houston
has determined to mark down his stock on
hand to prices which cannot fall to com
mend themselves to the purchaser. There
are still lots of fine goods left in the vari
ous lines, embracing French Organdies
(white and colored), Bishop Lawn JPIques.
These goods cannot be equaled for quality-
and prices. A full line of Ladies’ Under
wear at half their values. The Qnest liup
of Hosiery in the city a£ very Iqw figures,
considering the qqaHty. Kid and Lisle
Gloves, Ties, Bows* and many other articles
too numerous to mention. ‘‘Capell’s Tan
and Freckle Lotion” still gains in favor, as
It does what is claimed forjt—positively

“The OIRONDIN has been fully tested by
the members of this Association during the last
epidemic, and it is THEIR GENERAL OPINION
that it is the BEST PREPARATION of the kind
THAT EVER HAS BEEN OFFERED TO THE
PUBLIC!
•*I therefore consider it my duty to recom-
merd its use. not- alone during epidemics, but
as an article that should be kept in every well
regulated household.”
J. M. VANDEGRIFF,
President of the Howard Association.
New Orleans, Nov. 19th, 1878.
“Having freely used the GIRON DIN DISIN
FECTANT in my PRIVATE PRACTICE and
FOR THE HOWARD ASSOCIATION, during
the past epidemic in this city, I. can testify to
its claims as a disinfectant and deodorizer.
IN MY OPINION IT IS WITHOUT AN
EQUAL.” MONTGOMERY BROWN, M. D.
