A Paper for the People.
THE MORNING NEWS.
IT WOULD REQUIRE THE SCOPE OF QUITE A
* large volume to contain the good things that
are said about the Morning News by its contem
poraries of the Southern press. It is almost daily
referred to as “The best paper in the South,”
‘•the leading Georgia daily,” etc., and is gener
ally conceded to he in all respects a modern
Southern newspaper.
This is the fame that the Morning News covets,
and no pains will lie spared hereafter to make it
still worthier of the confidence and patronage of
the people of Georgia aud Florida. The ample
resources of the establishment will be devoted to
the improvement of the paper in respect to its
already large facilities for gathering the current
news of the and ay, aud its staff of special corres
pondents has been reorganized with a view to
meeting uvery possible contingency that may
arise.
Although the Morning News has little or no
competition within the field of its circulation,
nevertheless no effort will be considered too ex
pensive that give the earliest and freshest infor
mation to its readers. In this respect there will
be no relaxation of the endeavor to keep it far
ahead of its contemporaries.
The features that have rendered the paper so
popular will be maintained. The editorial de
partment will be conducted with the same digni
fied thoughtfulness, conservative vigor, and earn
est devotion to principal that have characterized
it. The racy reliability of the local, and the ac
curacy and completeness of the commercial de
partmerts, will be kept up to the old standard,
and improvements will bo made whatever they
are suggested by experience.
The Morning News is the only Savannah paper
that publishes the Associated Press dispatches
and the Telegraphic Market Reports authorized
by the Commercial Bureau of New York City. In
addition to this, the Local Market, reports will be
fullaud reliable, and will enable businessmen of
Georgia and Florida to form estimates as accu
rate aud as intelligent as if they were in the
city.
In a word, the Morning Netvg will comprise
every feature that renders the modern newspaper
attractive, and its readers may confidently look
to its columns for the latest information in regard
to everything of current interest, It will admit
of no rivalry in its own proper field, and will al
low no compeditor to outstrip it i.h any depart
ment of journalistic enterprise.

How a Woman Makes a Bed.
She's washed the dishes, cleared
off the table, swept out the sitting
room, and she stands in the bed
room door for 11 moment, arms
akimbo and surveys the bed.
The pillows skewed around, the
quilts rolled up in a heap, one end
of the sheet down almost to the floor,
and she wonders how “them young
ones” managed to tumble up the bed
so.
She approaches the bed, seizes the
pillows and deposits them on a chair,
hauls the quilts off and drops them
in the door-way, draws the sheets
over the stand, and she finds the
featlier-tick full of lumps and dents
and hills and hollows. She makes
a lunge for it, rolls it to the foot of
the bed, and dives down among the
straw.
Her hands are lost to sight, and
she bends over until it seems as if
her back would break. ’ The straw
is pulled this way, pushed that,
dragged around and torn apart, and
her lingers reach clean to the bottom
and into each corner.
“There! ha!” she says, as she
straightens up to rest her back, and
after a moment she grabs the feath
er-tick, yanks it around, gives it a
Hop and rolls it against the head
board that she may get into the foot
of the straw-tick. She dives into
the straw once more, and lier face
gets as red as paint as her nose al
most touches the tick. The straw
is finally stirred enough, and she
rests her back, looks up at the ceil
ing and wonders where she can bor
row a white wash brush. Then it
would do your heart good to see her
grab the feather bed. She hauls it
around, flings it up, mauls great
dents in it with her fist, jams it
against the wall and finally flattens
it out. Then she seizes the foot,
shakes the feathers toward the head,
smooths them along further with
her hand, and each corner is patted
down and made to stand out dis
tinctly. That hollow in the centre
is patted out of existence, arid at
last the bed is a true slant from head
to foot. The top sheet is switched
off the stand, held up before her
until she sees the seam, then she
flics it across the bed. It settles
down just as true and square as a
rule, and after the front side has
been tuked down behind the rail the
other sheet follows.
The pillows are then grabbed up
mauled, beaten and cuffed around
until they swell with indignation,
aud they are dropped on to the bed
so gently that they don’t make a
dent, but seem to float in the air
above the sheets. The ends where
the cases button are placed to go
outside, according to long establish
ed rule, and the quilts are swung
over, tucked behind the rail, pulled
down at the foot, smoothed at the
head, and she stands back and
says:
“There! those children will sleep
like bugs to-night!”
A few weeks ago, as I stood in the
Post-office, I heard one female say
to another:
“Did you hear about poor Mrs.
Gleason ?”
“No. Sick ?” was the query.
“Poor tiling -died last night.”
“Is that so ?” was the exclama
tion. “Well, I’m sorry, though she’s
better off'. She was a good wife, but
she could never make up a bed as it
ought to be made!”— M. Quad.

How They Met—A Street Car
Scene.
Wo witnessed a pathetic scene ott
a street car going to the Tjnion de
pot. Besides oursclvcsj there was
only one pasenger, a httndsotae lady,
well dressed, and just in the prime
of life and matronly maturity. About
midway between Main Street and
the depot a genteel, good looking
man stopped the car and got aboard.
As he stepped into the car the lady
jumped to meet him, with the excla
mation: “Oh, Harry, is it you?” An
swering, “Yes, Jennie,” he caught
her to his bosom in an impassioned
embrace, his face the very picture of
happiness, while the lady looked the
impersonation of contentment and
j°y-
Mutual explanations ensued, in
the course of which we learned that
the twain had seperated from each
other during the war, and had not
met since. “Harry” said that he
had wandered over the earth in sad
ness and sorrow, a yearning for his
first love always tugging at his heart
making him restless, and causing
him to constantly be on the move.
He had been to California and in
the mines of Nevada and the Terri
tories. With plenty of money at
his command, he had been in Brazil
and other South American States,
and was now on a tour through his
own country. “Jennie” had never
forgotten him, but had nightly pray
ed for his safety and welfare, and
for his return; she had wept bitter
tears over his absence, and had even
searched for him at different places.
She had forgotten all misunder
standings and bickerings between
them that so enveloped her life in
misery, and “Oh Harry,” she said,
“if you will just take me back to
your heart and love again, I will be
the happiest little woman in all the
world.” The tears were in “Har
ry’s” eyes as he took her in his
strong arms, and kissing her, swore
that she was his forever. He said
he had “plenty of money to keep
you, Jennie, and the babies in style,
and though I was going the other
way I’ll buy a ticket for St. Louis,
and we’ll go home.” We could not
ourself repress a tear of sympathy,
and sincerely rejoice that these lov
ing hearts are again united. Let us
trust no darkness may ever again
fall upon their lives, but that they
may go down together through the
vale of life in happiness.— Houston
Telegraph.
Sister Em.
My sister Em has got a feller who
has been coming to see her ’most ev
ery night for some time. Night be
fore last, just to have a little fun, I
went into the parlor and crawled
under the sofa, and waited there
until he and Em had got settled
and just as he was asking her if she
was willing to become his dear part
ner for life, and trust to his strong
arm for protection and support I
gave three red-hot Indian war
whoops and bumped myself up
against the bottom of the sofa and
fired off an old horse-pistol that I
borrowed from Sam Johnson, and
my gracious 1 how that fellow jump
ed up and scooted for the door! He
never stopped to get his hat, but
went stumbling head over heels
down the door steps. As for Em,
she was so scared that she sat right
down on the floor and screeched
like blue blazes, till dad and mother
came runing in with nothing but
their night clothes on, and wanted
to know what the matter was. But
Em only yelled the louder and kept
pointing under the sofa, till dad got
down on his knees, and saw mo
there, and pulled me ont by the
hind leg. When he got me out in
the w ood-shed, he wrapped me over
his knee and thgn he went at me
with an old trunk strap, and I
have not got over it real nicely
yet.
The word advertise is a Bible
word. It was used in the Bible be
fore there were any newspapers to
publish the modern advertisements
or any dictionary to define the
terms. An interesting real estate
transaction which took place in the
land of Bethlehem some thousands
of years ago, is described in the
fourth chapter of the book of Ruth,
where it is written: “And he (Boaz)
said unto the kinsmen, Naomi, that
is to come again out of the country'
of Moab, selleth a parcel of land
w hich was our brother Elimeleeh’s,
and I thought to advertise thee, say
ing : Buy it before the inhabitants
and the elders of the people. Boaz
saw the necessity of advertising on
i that occasion; and he did advertise;
and he made his point handsome
ly.
