The Citizens’ Committee on Entertain
ment of the delegates to the State Agri
cultural Convention to be held in
the Ford’s Opera House next
week, met in the City Council
chamber last night, Chairman J. B. Duck
worth, Esq., presiding, for the purpose of
hearing the reports of the soliciting com
mittees and arranging for the reception
and entertainment of the delegates while
here.
A number of prominent citizens repre
senting the various professions and lines
of business, in additiou to the members
of the committee, were present, and the
meeting was characterized by a s Pl.rit or
enthusiasm and an interest in the effort to
give the visiting agriculturists a hos
pitable reception. . _
The collections reported were incom
plete, but amounted to about s,w. ine
canvass will be continued to-day. ana it
is probable that the subscriptions will ex
ceed SI,OOO at the least. A number of
members of the soliciting Committee have
not yet acted, but will make their report
at a meeting of the General Committee on
Monday evening.
The special Entertainment Committee,
through its Chairman. Win. Hone. Esq.,

where arrangements could be made for a
dinner at the Bellevue Hotel. Maj. >. O.

Western Railway wharves and the rice
mills, and to an excursion down the
river on the steamer >t. Nicholas. The
invitation will be extended for Wednes
day. at 11 o’clock, the second day of the

! Yanderman, a young man
a vmt 26 year* "f age, who for some time

self down from his bed room window
about ten feet to the roof of a shed on
Bay lane, near the corner of Jef
ferson street. when he missed
his footing as he dropped and was precip
itated against the corner of an adjoining
shed to a back piazza and was wounded
in the back and received a severe cut
on the head. The injuries were of
such a character that it was
deemed advisable to send him
to the Savannah Hospital. It was found
that he had been injured internally, but
vesterdav his condition was greatly im
proved. ’ His back is somewhat sprained

1 COMMUNICATED.!
Tlie Laws of the Church.
We are requested to publish the follow
ing extract from a canon law passed at
the General Convention of the Episcopal
i Church in 1577.
Offense was taken by a party in this
city because an honest clergyman refused
to officiate at a marriage where one of the
contracting parties came under the pro
hibition ot this law ot the church. If peo
ple would only inform themselves in re
gard to the laws of the church no offense
could be taken against a minister who
has solemnly vowed, “by the help of God.
to minister the doctrine and discipline of
Christ as the Lord hath commanded, and
as this church hath received the same ac
cording to the commandments of God.”
The canon says:
“Marriage is a divine institution. God es
tablished it and gave it laws. Whatever de
cisions may lie pronounced by the courts of
civil justice, the fact yet remains that before
God that marriage is unlawful in which per
son* are joined together otherwise than as
God’s Word doth allow. No minister, know
ingly. after inquiry, shall solemnize the car
riage of anv oerson who has a divorced hus
band or wife still living, if such husband or
wife has been put awayJor any cause arising
after marriage. This is the church’s inter
pretation of the word of God.”
The clergy of the Episcopal Church are
compelled ro enforce this law. The min
ister who would violate it under any con
sideration or for any object is guilty of
giving his sanction to adultery (for such
the church declares the act).
AVe often hear it said that Protestant
Churches have no law except the will of
the minister in charge. They have the
laws of God as interpreted by the church,
and no minister can set them aside with
out breaking his ordination vows. Instead
of finding fault, all should honor the min
ister who would give offense to the world
rather than dishonor the law of Goa
through His holy church.

THE GRAND JOtY’S PRESENTMENT
Their Report Upon County Affairs —A
Careful Consideration of tlie Road
Question Recommended The Jail
Condemned as a Disgrace to Civiliza
tion.
The grand jury of the Superior Court,
at the close of their term of service yester
day. made the following presentment of
various matters brought to their attention:
We have examined the offices, books, pa
pers. etc., of the Ordinary'. Clerk of the -upC’
rior Court. County Treasurer.
missioners and Tax Collector, and the book of
the Receiver of Tax Returns. Lis offic*e
closed at this season. By all of tfcee officials
we were courteously received ana every fa
cilitv wa* given us to make thorough inspec
tion’ After as rigid examination as was
practicable, we report all of these offices in
good order, the books well and neatly kept,
papers regularly filed, and everything indi
cating that the respective offices are properly
managed and conducted. We especially cont
i mend the orderly condition and the improve
: ments in the internal arrangements of the
! office of the Clerk of this court. The general
! improvement in the condition of the court and
jurv rooms is matterof public congratulation;
i and we deem it advisable to recommend that
in future rigid precautions be adopted by the
I proper officers to prevent any defacement of
walls, floors, windows, furniture, etc. hacti
i jury should be held responsible pecuniarily
' if practicable! for injury done to a roon
while it may be in session therein.
THE MAGISTRATES.
i The book* of the different magistrates of
the couniv have been examined, excepting
| those of Magistrate Jefferson Roberts, who is
reported to have done no businesi-. No far a?
<ve have been able to discover, they have been
correctly kept, with the following excep

THE COUNTY ROADS.
The roads of the county have been exam
ined by our committee. We report the Au
! £usta road iu good order, showing proper su
pervision of the Commissioner of that dis
trict. The I-ouisville road is in very bad con
dition. specially so at or near the five, ten and
twelve mile posts: also at the Chores or >hiv
ers -wamp. The section from the eijrht mile
post to the city ha- not been worked at all
this season. The bridges on Pine Barren and
Quakoo roads are in bad condition, and the
Road Commissioners report that they have
been unable to procure lumber front the
County Commissioners to make necessary re
pairs. ' The Die of Hope road and Pritchard's
ero>* road are in good order, as also is the
Ogeechee road, except on the causeway be
tween the Little Ogecehees. The White Bluff
road is in good condition.
We recommend to the County Commission
ers a careful consideration of the question of
the location of the toll gate on this last named
road. It now stand* within the city limits,
and it would seem proper that such an ob
structiou to free trau-i: should be removed to
a |*>mt beyond said limits, if it can le done
without trenching upon the vested rights of
the Vernon >heli Road Company.
A DISGRACE TO CIVILIZATION.
Following in the footsteps of many preced
ing grand iurfc we condemn our county jail
a?“a disgrace to civilization and we recom
mend tliat no time be lost in building anew
one. The site selected by the County Com- i
missioners year the Police Barracks in this i
city seem- to us pre-eminently the best that J
could have been chosen for the purpose,and as ]
citizens and tax-payers of the county and
citv we regret that tiiev were unable to pur
chase it. If. however, the Commissioners are
compelled to build upon the present site we
would recommend that at least one-half of
the ground be sold ami the proceed- added to
tiie building fund, as there is more laud upon
the jail lot now thau there is use for. e
weald also recommend that the County Com
missioners formulate some fixed and definite
rules for the conduct of the jail and the man
agement of the prisoners. Heretofore, we be
lieve tins matter has been left entirely to the
jailer—a degree of irresponsible power that
ought to be given to no one man.
In view of the heavy taxes now !>orne by
onr citizens and the large outlay that is con
templated for building anew jail, we deem it
inadvisable for the present to make any struc
tural changes In the court house.
Onr atteution has been most forcibly and
painfully called to the unhappy condition of
those of'our fellow citizens whom, because of
insanity, it has lieen necessary from time to
time to place for temporary safe keeping
within the walls of the county jail. The re
cital of the sufferings of these unfortunates,
as made to us by His Honor John O. Ferrill,
Judge of the Court of Ordinary, has moved
more than we have words to express. 8o
far as we can learn, there is no charge of in
humanity or want of kiudiine-s to' be
brought " against those who _ have had
charge of the insane, but it is a blot
upon the county, a staiu upon each
citizen, that even for a temporary refuge
any poor God-stricken creature should be
consigned to the wretched cells of Chatham
county jail. It is bad enough there for those
condemned to such an habitation for their
evil deeds but who have control of their in
tellect and will to seek such comfort as the
place affords, but when we learn of tender
woman and hSlpless youth (the law of self
preservation all gone beating themselves
against hard walls and stony floors, half
naked, iu freezing cold, living in this misery,
and some 'lying in it, we feel that prompt ac
tion should he taken to remedy the evil and
to prevent the recurrence of even one similar
case. „ . .
The law requires the committal of the in
sane to the jail pending their being sent to the
asylum at Milledgeville, but it is incumbent
upon the community to see to it that such af
flicted ones should have every protection there
from themselves that it is possible to give
them. In view of the fact that the sending of
such patients to the jail is a matter
of frequent occurrence, we recom
mend most earnestly that the Countv
Commissioners at once take steps to
fit up three or four room* there with padded
walls and with such comforts a* it is possible
to give. We think the necessary expense to
this end should take precedence of every other
public expenditure.
SPECIAI. PRESENTMENTS.
A number of special presentments
have been made by the jury for
violations of the law in relation to the regis
tration of liquor dealers. The law as it stands
call* for the registration and payment of li
cense on the same dav, the first day of the
year. In view of the'fact that the Ist of Jan
uary i.~ a public holiday, and because of the
great number of dealers in the county, an ex
act compliance vyitli the letter of this law
see in £ an impossibility: *in f i in consc
ouence imany citizens practically violate
i without anv intention of so doing.
We would request our Representatives
in the Legislature to endeavor to
have the law changed so as to allow the regis
tration to lie made at any time within the first
two weeks in January, and the payment of
the license at any time prior to the Ist day of
February in each year.
THE ai'RORS’ PAV.
We recommend that the pay of juror*, both
grand and petty, during the year be lived at
ti 00 two dollars per diem, and the pay of
bailiff- at $2 00 two dollars per diem.
iu conclusion, we beg to thank His Honor,
Judge A.P. Adams, and the Solicitor General,
Mr. Walter G. Chariton, for the courtesy and
kindly consideration that have rendered our
duties plain and their execution free from un
necessary trouble or delay on every day of our
service. 'No jurv ever had its pathway marked
out for it with'greater clearness than was
done for ns bv His Honor on the fn>t day of
the term, and we onlv regret that so lucid an
exposition of what a grand jury should do.
was not committed to paper and made a part
of the permanent record of the court.
It is but just to add that the bailiff of the
jury. Mr. A. Jones Franklin, has discharged
his duties faithfully and well.

Many men daily polish their boots who

their hair, except to harrow it casually
with brush and comb, or submit it to the

neglect, mental anxiety, or any of a score
of causes, the hair turns prematurely

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
Bright Flashes of Intelligence from Near
and Afar.
The Rowland's Bluff Railroad is ex
pected to be completed to Gainesville
March 1.
The schooner *arah Potter, Capt. Keen,
arrived last Friday at Fernandina with
300 tons of steel rails for the Leesburg
and Indian River Railroad.
The American Italy says: From a pri
vate, but authentic source we learn that
contracts have been let and sealed for
the thorough completion of the Interna
tional Railroad from Wildwood to Tampa,
and that the contractor. Mr. J. IL Narra
more, is now on route to Sumterx llle
from the North. Mr. Narramore ts a
thorough-going, practical and energetic
railroad man, and with the matter in his
bands we feel assured that the work will
be completed at the earliest possible mo
ment.
The Advanced Irish Nationalists.
A meeting of Advanced Irish National
ists was held last evening for the purpose
of aiding and strengthening by all means
in their power the cause of Irish national
independence. After effecting an organi
zation with good roll ot membership, they
adjourned, subject to the call of the or
ganizing committee. of meeting
under the head of The Irish National As
sociation of Savannah will be issued at
an early date, and will be duly an
nounced.
It is a fact which can be proven by a
single trial, that the flavor given to cakes,
puddings.creams and sauces by Dr. Price s
Special Flavoring Extracts, are as natu
ral as the fruit from which they are made.
Dr. Price's for cream, cukes, etc . are as
much unlike, in delicate flavor and
strength, the cheap extracts, as can pos
sibly be imagined.

A Key to Economy ami Success, and

it is undoubtedly the greatest pan. oi
human nature to get the key to economy
and success, which when once got is a
true blessing. It has been our aim for
many years to acquire this key, which b>
personal exertion we have at last attain

success, and where there is.success there
is tortune. Now, the idea is hots to ac

Violent.
Corrosive sublimate is the usual form
of mercury given for blood and skin dis
eases. and it is one of the most active and
violent poisons. A case is on record of
the death of a child from the effects of
corrosive sublimate sprinkled on an ex
coriated surface. Taken in small doses
for a length of time, it gradually settles
in the tissues and bones, producing mer
curial rheumatism and other diseases
equally as painful. Persons who have
been poisoned in this way, or who sutler
front any blood complaint or skin humor,
should by all means take a course of
Swift's Specific, which is the only vege
table preparation which will eliminate
this poison from the system. Send for a
copy of Treatise on Blood and Skin Dis
eases, free.

Advice to Mothers.
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup
should always be used when children are
euttinz teeth. It relieves the little suf
ferer at once; it produces natural, quiet
sleep by relieving the child from pain, and
the little cherub awakes as “bright as a
button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It
soothes the child, softens the gums, al
lays all pain, relieves wind, regulates
the bowels, and is the best known remedy
1 ir diarrhcea, whether arising from teetb
in* or other causes. 25 cents a bottle.
