The membersof the Savannah bar assem
bled yesterday at 13 o’clock in the superior

gen. lawton’s remarks.
Gen. Lawtou, on taking De chair, spoke
feelingly of the causes which led to the
meeting, and said that he would for
bear any unnecessary comments on
the occasion. The chairman then announced
that he was ready to entertain suggestions
as to what should be done by the Savannah
bar in reference to appointing a delev atio i
to act as escort to the rema ns of Judge
Chisholm from the depot to his iate resi
dence.
Mr. dußignon said that as the body
would arrive at an unseasonable hour, he
thought it better to have the re
mains taken quietly to the house.
He had no doubt, however, that
Judge Chisholm’s family would highly ap
preciate the houor of having a delegation
of the bar as an escort, yet on account of
the early hour he did not think it necessary.
W. W. Maciiall, Esq., then moved that a
committee of three be appointed by the
chair to retire and report back to the meet
ing what action should be taken by the bar
on the death and funeral of Judge
Chisholm. The motion was adopted, and
Gen. Lawton appointed W. W. Mack ail,
Geu. Henry R. Jackson and J. R. Saussy.
The committee retired, and after deliberat
ing about fifteen minutes, reported the fol
lowing, which was unanimously adopted:
TO PAY THE LAST TRIEUTE.

of J udje Chisholm in a body, attended by
tbo officers of the court, and that the honor
able the judges of the superior and city

Policeman Smith’s Hard Tussle With
a Negro.
Policeman South had a lively tussle
with a desperate negro last night shortly
before 7 o’clock, and but for the assistance
rendered by a fireman from headquarters
he would probably have met with serious
injury.
Tne officer was ended upon to arrest a ne
gro at Hull auu Jefferson sirres, who was
ennoying the neigiboruo dby his boistor-
ous oon lu t and loud cursing.
Officer Smilb pla red the negro under ar
rest, and started for tbs barrack* with him.
The negro made seve al attempts to break
away, but was unsuccessful until at the
corner of .South Broad and Abercorn streets
he turned suddenly upon the policeman,
and, th; owing him as.de, started ou a . un.
Ths negro wns too much under the in
fluence of liquor, however, to make rapid
progress, and, tripping, he fell headfore
most against the corner of the sewer trap,
cutting a deep gash la his cranium.
The officer followed, and as he stooped to
Dull the follow to hi- feet the negro rose
quickly, and catching him by the loins, h"id
hi nasif in a vice. Policeman Smith cried
out with pain and was as help.ess iu his
position os a babe. A fireman from head
quarters ran to the assistance of the officer
and compelled the negro to release his hold
by a sound clubbing.
The negro was then taken to the bar
racks, where be was found to have two
severe cuts in his head. Dr. Brandt was
called in and dressed the wounds. The fel
low refused to give hi* name, and was sul
len in his demeanor.
Policeman (Smith suffered considerable
pain from his injuries, and had not assist

THE CITY’S F3OD SUPPLY.
Inspector Dasvergr r’3 Report to the
Clt zans’ Sanitary Association.
Inspector Desvergers of the Citizens’
Sanitary Association reports the average
quality of food produce exposed iu the
Savannah market during the week ending
last night as follows: Dressed beef,
dressed mutton average good; also
poultry, both dresi-d and alive, and
game, fresh fish, oy-ters, clams and shrimps,
pickled beef, pickled pigs’ feet, and pickled
tripe; also smoked sausages and moat pad
dings; fresh tripe, fresh sausages and
corned moats averaged only fair; vegeta
bles, both green and dried, averaged go >d;
apples, oranges, grapes and bananas also
good.
The shrimp run has been rem arkable and
bids fair to continue until the prawn spring
supply comes in. Old fisherman say it is
seldom that shrimps run so far into the
winter season. Many say, in fact, that they
have never seen them run into the Christ
mas months before, and they regal'd it as
indicating mild weather throughout the
winter.
The fishing smacks have resumed their
fishing off the Georgia coast, aud from now
on to March the Savannah market will be
plentifully supplied with snappers aud
Jiaokfish.’
CROPS DOING FINELY.
Truck Farmers Getting Ready to Be
gin Shipping.
The truck fanners are one class of peoplo
that are not kioking over the continued
warm weather. A look at the stands in the
market will show the reason why. The
stock of truck is first-class, both in quality
and quantity. The warm weather this fall
has been very favorable to it.
The truck farmers say that they will be
able to keep the market well supplied all
winter, unless there is a spell of unusually
severe weather.
A Morning News reporter inquired at
the market yesterday why the farmers
did not ship more stuff to the
northern markets. “Well,” he replied,
“we do ship a good deal in the spring, but
just now and uufcil spring, we are satisfied
to supply the home market. About the
only shipping we do now is small supplies
of winter vegetables to A’lanta and
towns in that section. In the spring we
ship largely of early vegetables to the
northern markets, Boston, New York and
Philadelphia, uutil the northern truck crops
begin tocome in.”
The truck man seemed to be doubtful
about making a success of wiuter shipments.
THE HOLIDAY RACES.

The Now Towns Along the Savannah
and Western Road.
The Morning News’ Guyton correspond
ent boarded a Savannah and Western
train a few days ago, and, after a delightful
run of an hour and a quarter under the care
of Conductor Wolfe was lauded at the
growing t*o-n of Pembroke, eight miies
beyond EliabeL This new and flour.shing
town, which is not q lire a year old, is
nam-si in honor of State Senat ,r Pembroke
W. Williams, Esq., and is, perhaps, the
most important station a.ong t e line of tue
new road between Savannah and Lj-oni.
It Is well located, and is regarded as a most
healihy place, be ides being supported bv a
good backc u fry, with fertile lands, which
is being rapidly developed. Its fine farms
and immense i.aval stores and lumber trade,
long aud short staple cotton and other prod
uoe make Pembroke a fine trading 1-oir.t,
and its shipments exceed auy station along
the line of the r aiL
The Savannah and Western has com
pleted a very handsome depot and ware
house at Pembroke, which is required to
ha.- dle the large shipments. Through the
Oourtesy of W. J. O’Neal, the clever and
efficient agent and operator, the Morning
Nzws correspoudent was shown through
tne various depot room- and the warehouse,
which is not at present occupied as an offi a
for the want of telegraph connection. At
present Mr. O’Neal continues to use an old
box car as an office, which he finds en
tirely inadequate to the we, e i ing business
of the place, and as tbo cod winds of win
ter may swoop down upon him at any
moment be is exceedingly anxious that the
telegraph company make the necessary con
ception, so that he will bo protected iu the
event <f a cold wave. Tho hotel presided
over by Dr. aud Mr.-. J. A. Murrow is quite
a comfortable house, and they are very
assiduous in tbeir attention to the guests of
ti e home.
iem oroke can boast of soma solid and
enterprising merchants. Among them are
J. D. Btiicklaod & Cos., Smith & Kesler,
Effingham county men, and P. H. Patrick,
all of whom do a general business. W. O.
Cubbedgs & Cos. do the drug business of tiie
town by general consent, of ail the mer
chants. Their esia lishmont, managed by
Dr. L. D. Strutton,a former Guy toman, is a
m del store of neatuess. Dr. Strutt- >u
seems to be as popular with his patrons and
the public as he was when a resident of
Guyton.
Among tho largo naval stores shippers are
McMillan, Jackson & Cos., McMillan,
Smith & Cos., N. L. Dukes & Cos., ilaj.
William Lerford, the honored commanner
of the Bryan ocunty confederate veterans,

The improvements in building are by no
mean-a small i’em. J. M. Smith, an ex
tensive contractor in railroad lies, is build
ing a very handsome private residence,
which, when completed, will be a model oi
beauty. Moses Solomon of Savannah, the
contractor and builder, has this handsome
work in charge,
P. H. Patrick, a young and handsome
bachelor, has just completed a very large
and handsome residence, and reports say he
is on the lookout for somo one to take
charge of it.
James M. Kesler has just moved into his
new and neat cottage. Air. Kennedy is also
erecting e neat cottage residence.
Patrick & Taylor are having material
put on the ground, and will at an early day
begin the erection of a large storehouse,
with a large hall above, which will be used
by Pemb -oke Masonic lodge, which was in
stituted last spring. When this handsome
lodge hall is completed they propose dedi
cating it in grand style, in which some of
Havanuah’s distinguished masouio lights
will be invited to participate.
In after years, when the town takes on
city airs, which its present progress, if kept
up, will, iu the course of time, warrant,
the people will see tae neceisity of plenty
of handsome shade trees and well regulated
streets.
To Gen. Manager Gabbett and Suot. Dill
the people along the line of the road owe a
do t, and they appreciate the efforts of these
officials to give them a good service, and
are in full accord with their progressive
views and management.

A Big Revival In Camden County.
Camden County. Ga., Dec. 4 .—Editor
Morning News: I have just closed a revival
meeting at the Provldenoe Methodist Epis
copal church. The Lord was manifest at
the start. Ail of the old prejudices were
wiped out, ari l the love of God was In every
heart. A certain young woman prayed in
public. She had never done so before. Her
p ayer affected many of tie young men
and women, who were seeking’ full salva
tion o i their knees at every service, An
old man was happy every day, just because
the young people were anxious for their
soul’s salvation; and many of tho young
men and women were praying that had
never tried to pray before. Old and influ
ential members said this was the most glori
ous meeting that had been hld at Provi
dence church in two years. Somo said that
they never had seen it so, spiritually, as
now. 1 will return there and snend Christ
mas, and preach up free salvation to that
people. G. J. Phillips,

■*Goo. Meyer’s New Establishment—Bl
and 63 Bay Street, Corner Lincoln.
One of the best proofis of the rapid and
solid growth of all Savannah enterprises is
the splendid showing made by the young
man whose name heads this article. The
insignificant beginning made six years
since has developed into the largest and
most successful business in the line of brer
iu the south. When it is remembered that
the annual sales of the great Anheuser-
Busch Brewing Association in this market
have increased from 3,100 barrels in 1881
to’over 30,000 barrels for the cur
rent year, oae cannot wonder that
they stand to-day the largest
and most universally celebrated brewery
in existence, and as this increase
here is the ca-e in all the great markets of
tho world it proves that the claims
made by Adolphus Busch, Esq., that he
will manufacture only the bent malt, bever
age that can be produced from the finest
materials ore founded on facts. Coupled
with this grand commercial prestige is the
well-known energy ami activity of their
geuial representative. George Meyef’, and
no man is wi-e enough to predict the full
limit of their phenomenal business growth.
The new quarters occupied by Mr. Meyer
arc the most perfectly adapted to conduct
a wholesale beer depot that are to be found
anywhere, and spaeo does not permit full
justice to ait the various facilities introduced
to handle these goods to best advantage.
Sufficient tojsay that the bear is loaded
from tho brewery vaults in St. Louis into
the splendid refrigerator cars of the
Anhauser Busch, which are then packed in
Ice, sealed and bulk is not broken until the
some cars aremVle-tracked at the front door
of the Savannah headquarters. This in
sures their good# In finest possible condition,
and to judge by the constant increase iu
business at this market,as well as all others,
it cannot be denied that a bright commer
cial future is open to George Myer’s new
wholesale beer depot.— Ad.
