To Or* Advertising Patrons.— Presuming it to be an annoyance to our regular advertising patrons to have their bill*presented to them every time an adver tisement expires, wo have adopted the rule to call upon them for payment only at stated periods during the year. Thus, our business friends can send iu their favors without the fear of being annoyed by bills constantly presented to them iu and out of season. Os course, with strangers we shall adopt a different rule. They will be expected to pay promptly at the expiration of the term of their advertisements. We hope that this policy will lie satisfac tory to our business friends, aud that we shall continue to receive iu the futnre their favor and patronage. The Screven House.—On a recent visit to Savannah, mine host of the Screven House took us ail through his extensive establishment, and exhibited to us all the improvements which he has recently made therein. George MeGiniey, formerly of the | Mills House, Charleston, and of the Tfout House, Atlanta, is the very worthy proprie- | tor. Indeed. George is a whole soulod fel low, an excellent landlord, aud really knows "how to keep a hotel." He has sup plied the Screven House from top to bot tom, with handsome furniture, renovated it thoroughly, and fitted it with everything necessary to the coinfort and convenience of his guests. The culinary department alone is well , worthy of a visit. There is something to : be seen which will gratify the curious and j afford food for reflection, as well ns for the i stomach. The following description of this | department we clip from the Savannah Ad- j renieer, which will give some idea of what 1 we wish to explaiu : , "In the spacious kitchen, under the large Congress street building, is a large upright boiler, which furnishes steam for the vari- I ous purposes required. Along one side of ' tlie wall is a row of large covered vessels for boiling vegetables, etc. The substance to be cooked is put into tin vessels with per forated sides, which are placed inside of these upright boilers and closely covered. Steam is then let on, and in a short time tlte contents are completely cooked. A huge circular arrangement near by will roost an almost unlimited quantity of meat at short notice, while the large range has cooking capacity for hundreds of people. In an ad joining room is a mammoth oven, and in another a batter cake baker, itself larger than the largest sized cooking stove. "The meats, when cooked, are taken up to the carving room, adjoining the dining room, where steam is conveyed from the boiler below to a long iron counter with receptacles for the platters, by which every thing is kept as hot as is desired. "The store room is like a small grocery store, with its shelves loaded with provi sions,, aud its lung array of bands aud boxes. Two enormous ice chests, occupy ing one entire side of a large room, keep the fresh meats, butter, etc., in perfect order.” In brief, the Screven House is a comfort able and agreeable home for the traveller ; and the enterprising proprietor deserves an unlimited patronage. Good Things.—There are a great ; many difficulties to contend with in the i Newspaper business, but if has, also, its agreeable side ; and take it altogether, we | don’t know but that it’s “six of one and 1 half a dozen of the other,” after all. So! we think when our friends send us in their kindly remembrances in the shape ot the good things of life, as did Mr. J. V. Clark, of the People’s Market yesterday. He was afraid that we didn’t have "fat” enough, so he sent us a delicious sirloin of beef, beau tiful in appearance and sweet to the taste, also some soused pig’s feet and biscuits. None of these were crowded out by a press of other matter, but found a place in our columns, while the remembrance of the generous donor will be locked up in our forms. If any of our readers want a delicious steak, a roast, a broil, or anything in the meat line, we recommend friend Clark, of the People’s Market, to them. His place is on Broad street, opposite the bower Market. New Millinery and Fancy Dry Goods. —Mrs. L. G. Fillette, 213 Broad St., announces to our readers, this morning, that she has jmt received from the North a handsome assortment of Parisian bonnets, straw bonnets, leghorn hats, shaker bonuets, straw goods, bridal wreaths, flowers, triinj mings of various kiDds„ gloves and dry goods, all of which will be Bold low for cash.
