Hrrr With a Number f Frirnda.
The celebration. of the anniversary of
the battle of Sedan by the German citi
zens beitan yesterday. On account of the
day the celebration was a very quiet one.
being merely a general picnic of the
German citizens and their friends at Tiv
oli park, with concerts by the Fourth
Brigade Band of Charleston and a se
ries of tableaux at the park at night,
portraying events and characters of the
great war.
On account of the threatening appear
ance of the weather the crowd at the park
in the afternoon was not unusually large,
though there were nearly as many as the
park could comfortably accommodate. At
night the crowd was much larger.
The crowds kept going out all day and
each car carried many people who went
to see the living pictures representing
characters and Incidents of 1870 and 1871.
The park was brilliantly illuminated with
Chinese lanterns and the band continued
to render popular airs for the entertain
ment of the guests.
About 9 o'clock the curtain rose on the
pictures representing the scenes of the
Franco-German war. The tableaux were
“Departure of Emperor William
•nd his son. Prince Freder
ick. for the scenes of battle:"
“Soldiers Bidding Farewell to Their
Sweethearts;’’ “Statue of Prince Bis
marck "Statue of General Von
Moltke;” "The Battle of Sedan;’’ “Look
ing for Camrades on the Battlefield;”
“Robbing the Dead;” "Surrender’of Se
dan—Napoleon and William;” Surrender
of the Sword;’’ “Allegorical Pictures.”
The pictures were presented in a most
life-like manner and greatly pleased the
large audience. The representations
were in charge of Mr. T. Butler.
The balloon ascension was quite a suc
cess. It was nearly dark when Miss Ma
mie Davis, the dating aeronaut. Jumped
in tile ring, and not a breath of air was
stirring as the balloon went up directly
to Ihf clouds, rising about 2.000 feet. The
performer cut loose, and the descent was
made within about 200 feet from the
spot where she started. Another ascen
sion will be ma le by Miss Davis to-day
and to-morrow.
The living pictures will be repeated to
night and to-morrow night.
The German Guards of Augusta, Capt.
A. J. Renkl, arrived yesterday morning,
accompanied by a large number of cit
izens of Augusta. The Guards were met
at the depot by a detachment of the Ger
man Volunteers and escorted to the ar
mory of the First regiment, where they
stacked their guns in the quarters of the
German Volunteers and partook of some
refreshments which had been prepared for
them. From the armory the Guards went
to the De Soto, where they have their
quarters. They will remain In the city
until some time to-morrow, probably until
to-morrow night. The roster of the com
pany Is as follows:
Capt. A. J. Renkl, First Lieut. John San
cken. First Sergt. Oetjen, Sergts. Zoller,
Jacob Markwalter, Schroeder, Corpl. G.
Frank; Privates Bischoff, Bt-ulßr, Cason.
Gerth, O. E. Heath, Lauterbach, A. B.
Markwalter, Neibllng, Ramsey, W. P.
Renkl. Sehler, Stebbtns, Wahl, White
ford, Roesel, Rice, Schwensbler.
Capt. Renkl Is well known to the mili
tary men of Savannah as an accomp
lished officer and his company, though
comparatively young. Is in fine shape. The
Guards are being looked after by the Ger
man Volunteers, and received a hearty
welcome generally yesterday. They will
take part in the parade to-day.
Contrary to expectations the crowd
which came over from Charleston yester
day morning was very small. This was
due to the death of Mr. Oskar Aichel. of
that city, an account of whose death ap
peared in yesterday's Morning News. Mr.
Aichel was president of the German
Friendly Society of Charleston and a lead
ing member of the other German socie
ties of that city. President Oelschig of
the Sedan committee received a telegram
from Charleston yesterday stating that
on account of the death of Mr. Aichel, the
German societies w-ould not be able to
make the trip to Savannah as promised,
but would endeavor to do so to-day. Pres
ident Oelschig’* understanding is that the
German societies will come over this
morning and take part in to-day's festivi
ties. The Charleston societies were ex
pected to come In full strength and their
failure to do so for the reason stated was
quite a disappointment to the committee.
It is hop'd, however, that a large dele
gation will come over this morning.
The German steamship Australia which
Is lying at -the Central press wharf kept
open house yesterday to visitors, of whom
there were quite a number. The vessel was
gaily decorated with German and Amer
ican flags. The officers and men of the
steamship will take part In the parade
to-day.
The chief feature of the celebration to
day will be the parade, w hich will form on
Liberty street, with the right resting on
Bull, at 1:30 o'clock. The German Volun
teers of Savannah. German Guards of
Augusta, and the local and visiting Ger
man societies will be In line. Mr. A. C.
Oelschig will be grand marshal of the
parade. After marching through the
principal streets, the parade will be dis
missed and the crowd will adjourn to
Tivoli Park. The programme there wdll
be openqd with an address of welcome by
Hon. W. D. Harden. The oration of the
day will be delivered In German by Mr.
E. A. Gelseler. A musical program will
follow. One of the interesting ceremonies
of the occasion will be the laying of the
wreaths upon the monument which has
been erected for the ocacsion in front of
the grand stand, by the German veterans
of the war of 1870-71. At night the living
pictures will be repeated and there -will
be music and dancing. To-morrow will
be a general picnic day' at the park, with
games and prizes for the ladies and chil
dren.
FOUNDERED AT SEA.
The German Burk Amaranth Goes
Down With a Cargo of Rosin.
The German bark Amaranth, Capt.
Hauth, which sailed from this port July
25, for Gutujewski, was foundered at sea
Aug. 17. All on board were saved by the
British bark Plymouth, bound from New
York for Dunkirk. The Plymouth passed
Prawle Point, Aug. 29 and made the re
port of the loss of the Amaranth.
The bark Amaranth had a cargo of 5,-
130 barrels of tosin, valued at 116,063,
•Which was shipped by the S. P. Shorter
Company of this city.

AFTER TOURIST RATES.
A Strong Fight to He Made Before
the Association This Fall.
Among other matters which Capt. D.
G. Purse, as commissioner of the Savan
| nah Bureau of Freight and Transporta
i tion. is working with all his might is that
| of tourist rates for Savannah. Tourist
rates have long been a subject for discus
sion, but no practical results have ever
been obtained.
This was one of the first matters to
which Capt. Purse gave his attention
when elected Although
the time is short, he expects to accom
plish something by the time the tourist
season opens. He was assured assist
ance and co-operation from an unox-_
pec ted source last week. The Charleston
Truck Growers Association has taken up
the matter of tourist rates for Charles
ton and committees have been appointed
from the various commercial bodies to
co-operate with the truck growers as
sociation.
The charleston people are modest in
their request and only ask for stop over,
tickets, while Savannah wants full tour
ist rates. The stop-over privilege is al
ready taken advantage of here lo a con
siderable extent, though the railroads do
not advertise that fact to their northern
patrons, which is one of the points aimed
at by Capt, Purse.
One of the first things which occurred
to the Charleston committee was to so
licit the co-operation and assistance of
Commissioner Purse.
Tills matter was taken up by letter, and
Capt. Purse received a communication
from Mr. N. H. Egleßton, Jr., secretary of
the Truck Growers Association ol that
city, in w hich he was asked to co-operate
with Charleston in the matter of securing
the stopover tickets. Mr. Egleston stated
that all the organizations in Charleston
would join in the movement, and asked
Savannah's co-operation.
“I beg to assure you of our willingness
and desire to have your co-operation, not
in securing “stop-over’’ tickets, but full
and unqualified tourists’ rates, for which
we are now making vigorous contention,
with every hope of success,” Capt. Purse
replied to the communication.
“Had you not written it was my pur
pose, at a very early day, to have en
listed Charleston's railroads and business
organizations in oux fight for tourists'
rates, and I beg now that you wifi not
stop your work when you have enlisted
all of your commercial bodies,” his letter
continues. •
"Your city Is really the only place, un
der existing circumstances, with which
we could make common cause without
overloading and thereby jeopardizing the
success of our efforts.”
Borne new arguments arc being brought
to bear every day and there is every pros
pect that the Southern States Passenger
Association will find before it at its Sep
tember meeting an array of facts and fig
ures in favor of tourist rates which will
prove almost invincible.
THE SKID AWAY BRIDGE.
The Argument to lie Made To-day on
the 31 a nil a m ii* Case.
The mandamus case of Barnett vs. the
county commissioners will be heard by-
Judge Falllgant In chambers this fore
noon. ,
This Is the outcome of a case that has
been before the county commissioners for
several years and has been brought to
force the commissioners, if possible,
to relieve the Skidway bridge, Mr.
J. R. Saussy, county attorney, has
been working dilligently in ihe
matter for the past month, seeking in
formation as regards the legal status of
the case. He has found that no two grand
Juries, hardly, have had the same mind
about the subject, on recommending it,
while another objected on the score of ex
pense.
One grand Jury recommended it, If the
bridge, and causeway could be built for
*6,000. On this basis bids were asked for
but it was decided when bids were in and
the plans examined, that no bridge of suf
ficient strength to withstand the tides
and storms, could be built for that amount
of money. Since that time nothing has
been done. The people of that section
have now employed counsel and intend
lighting for the bridge and the highway
leading thereto.
If there is time, the mandamus served
on Judge Ferrlll of the court of ordinary,
will be heard also. This Is to compel him
to order a "no fence” election. A petition
was presented to him some time ago, ask
ing for this from four districts. The Judge
carefully examined the law on the subject
and came to the conclusion that as one
election had been held this year another
could not be held. He therefore refused
to order the elction as prayed for In the
petition, hence the mandamus.
Since then several lawyers have stated
that In their opinion no othe.r election
can be had In this county until the legis
lature passes a law ordering one. In other
words, the law orders an election for a
specified purpose, but It does not provide
how to undo any result that such an elec
tion may bring. The election can be held
to do a certain thing but there seems no
way to turn about and undo It, according
to legal minds.
SAVANNAH HEADS THE LIST.
Heavy Increase In the Clearing* Till*
Year Over Last.
The Increase in the percentage of bank
clearings throughout the United States
during the past week, as compared with
the same week last year, is an indisputa
ble Indication of the improvement In bus
iness circles.
Out of eighty-five cities reported by
Bradstreet's sixty-five of them show heavy
increases in the clearings. Savannah leads
the list with an increase of 71 per cent.
Other southern cities show increases as
follows: New Orleans, 49.8 per cent.; Mem
phis, 21.7 per cent; Atlanta, 33 per cent.;
Helena, 42 per cent.; Chattanooga, 42.8
per cent.; Birmingham. 47.3 per cent; Nor
folk, 17.0 per cent.; and Nashville, 7.2 per
cent.
The increase in the percentage of
dealings at from apt. 1,
1894, to Aug. 31. 1895, was steady. Each
month with the exception of March which
showed a small decrease, increased from
11,000,000 to *3,000,000, as compared with
the same month of the previous year. The
total clearings for the year were *118,183 -
106.15, against *102,087,115.37 in 1893-94, show’-
ing an Increase of *10,096,050.78 in favor
of the year just ended.
MATT. HESTER 111 lUEn.
Hi* Killing Caused .Much Excitement
In the Neigliburhood.
The funeral of Matthew Hester, who
died Saturday from the wounds inflicted
with a knife by John Helmy last Wednes
day night, took place yesterday after
noon from Mount Zion church, near Mar
low. The services were conducted by the
Methodist pastor of that circuit, and the
body was interred at the family burying
ground near by. There was a very large
crowd in attendance upon the funeral.
Nothing that has occurred in that sec
tion in many years has created so much
excitement, both young men being well
known and their families having numer
ous connections
THE MORNING NEWS: MON DAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1895.
TYBEES SEASON CLOSES

More Than 500 People Took Ailvant-
Ke of the Last Day anil Spent
Some Time on the Heiteh or In the
Surf—The Summer Schedule* Taken
Off—The Seat Mon Ha* Been u S in*-
ee*ful One From Every Stand
point.
Five hundred people spent the day yes
terday at Tybee, with pleasure
and regret; pleasure at the mag
nificent beach, surf bathing and the re
freshing, cooling breezes from oft the e’er
restless ocean, and regret that the season
was to close. For last night the hotels
closed their doors, most" of the guests
packed up the belongings and came to the
city, while nearly all the cottages closed
their houses, packed everything snug and
moved back to their city homes.
The present season has been a long
one, and according to ail accounts a suc
cessful one. The Tybee hotel opened May
1 and kept open its hospitable doors till
Sept. 1, this being the third season under
its pres, nt management M< (Sra, Bohan
and Cowan.
Besides the attractions of the bathing
and ocean breezes, there have been other
features, In the way of the living pictures
and concerts, a vaudeville show and other
amusements that brought crowds down
to the resort. These and the low excur
sion rates brought many train loads of
people from Atlanta, Columbia, Charles
ton, Macon, Columbus and other points
In the Interior, while the special excur
sions every Sunday from Augusta brought
many hundred people. Not a fatal ac
cident of any kind happened in the surf
during the entire season, though thousands
of people visited the resort, and but one
bad accident occurred on the island, one
person being run over on the railroad.
Outside of this Tybee certainly lias had
a reusing season and it has added to Us
reputation as the foremost southern sea
side resort. The beach is a magnificent
one. miles and miles in length, wide, and
firm as marble. The surf comes tumbling
in, the billows sweeping over and over
each other in their seeming eagerness to
reach the smooth sands and the bathers
shriek in delight as they experience the
huge waves washing over them. With a
hundred or more bathers In, the scene
at Tybee is an exhileratlng one in all
respects.
Yesterday was an ideal day. There were
five hundred or more people who went
down. The day was slightly overcast, and
a delightful breeze was blowing. Hun
dreds went In bathing and most of them
remained till the last train for the city.
Scores and scores of sight-seers were on
the beach enjoying the spectacle, and doz
ens of merry and happy children sported
In the soft sand or else waded In as if
daring the encroaching waves to catch
them, and they did, too, in many cases,
making sad havoc with immaculate white
dresses of the little misses who were too
daring.
i The several clubs on the island had their
enjoyment too, and many visitors. The
Rambler Club, at the north end of the
island celebrated the ending of their sum
mer outing yesterday by inviting a num
ber of friends down to observe the occa
sion. Refreshments were provided and
the guests enjoyed them as shown by the
rapid disappearance of the good things
placed upon the tables.
The train service will be changed to
day, there being only one train each way
daily.
JOKE OX A SAVANNAHIAN.
Arrested in Jacksonville for Pn*s
iiiK Counterfeit Money.
The following from the Jacksonville,
Fla., paper shows the humor of some of
the good people of that city, perpetrated
upon their visiting cousins:
“Avery poor Joke was played upon a
young man from Savannah yesterday
morning. The young man. who is a bar
keeper at Savannah, came here on some
business, and stopped at Bettellni's ho
tel. While standing there talking to a
friend Wes Hearn showed him one of
the old Tallahassee Railroad Company’s
representations of a *2 bill. Hearn bet the
drinks that the stranger could not dis
pose of the bill. The bet was taken and
tho young man started out to get the bill
broken. He went next door, to buy some
cigars and offered the bill In payment.
It was not taken. He then entered Judge
Dzialynski’s place of business, and an
unsuspecting clerk changed the bill for
him. He went back Into the bar, and
took the bet, and then started back to
give the money to tho clerk, when he
was arrested by Policeman Lynch for
passing counterfeit bills. He was taken
to the police station, where the affair
was explained, and ho was alowed to de
part. He will not attempt to pass anoth
er piece of "Tallahassee” money again
soon."
TO CLOSE I I* TO-DAY'.
The Banks anil l’ablic Buildings to
Observe Labor liny.
To-day is labor day and a legal holi
day according to law and the proclam
ations of Gov. Atkinson and Mayor
Myers. No arrangements have been made
to celebrate the day by the labor organ
izations here and apparently it will be a
labor holiday in name only.
The day chimes in well, however, with
the Sedan celebration, which will help to
give the effect of a holiday. The board of
trade, the cotton exchange, the city ex
change, court house, and the banks, will
be closed on account of the day being a
legal holiday. This will result in many of
the business houses, especially on the
Bay, closing during the afternoon and
will enable their employes to take in the
celebration at Thunderbolt. No orders
have been issued for a general holiday at
the railroad shops and offices, but it is
expected that many of the men will be
let off during the afternoon. As the court
house will be closed for the day, there
will be no registration at the tax collec
tor's office.
After Twenty-Five Year*.
A pleasant and happy incident occurr
ed Saturday between two well-known
physicians. Just twenty-five years ago,
and near> the same day of the month, Dr.
E. H. Nichols left Dr. King Wylly In
Paris, France, Dr. YVylly to go to the seat
of war in the capacity of surgeon of the
French army, and Dr. Nichols, then a
student of medicine In Paris, to return
to America to his parents, who were anx
ious concerning his welfare on account
of the siege then in progress. Last Sat
urday. twenty-five years after this part
ing, Dr. Nichols called and paid his re
spects at the office of Dr. King Wylly,
who had just moved to Savannah to lo
cate here. The meeting was a happy one,
and many were the stories of old times
that were told.

Last Twenty-Five Y’enr*.
Observer Smyth has Just completed the
monthly meteorological summary show
ing what the weather has been during the
month of August as compared with the
same month for the last twenty-five years.
The month has been an exceedingly
warm one. In fact, the warmest that has
been known since 1882, when the mean
temperature was 82 degrees, the same as
that for August of this year. The mean
temperature for the month of August
during twenty-five years which are ob
tained by taking an average of the daily
mean temperatures are as follows:
1871 79 : 1884 79

The accumulated excess of daily mean
temperature during the month was 73 de
grees; average daily excess, 2.40; accumu
lated deficiency of daily mean tempera
ture since Jan. 1, 471 degrees; average
dally deficiency 1.93 degrees.
There were twenty days during the
month on which the maximum tempera
ture was 90 degrees or over, the highest
being 98 degrees on Aug. 19. The minimum
temperature ranged from 70 to 78 degrees,
the lowest being 70 on Aug. 3 and 4. The
mean or average of the maximum tem
peratures was 91 degrees and that of tho
minimum temperatures 74 degrees. ...
The greatest daily range of tempera
ture was 98 to 75, a difference of 23 degrees
on Aug. 19, and the least was 86 to 74, a
difference of 12 degrees on Aug. 14. The
prevailing winds were southwest. The
total precipitation was 9.68 inches* the

CHEHT ON THE OGEKCHEE.
Two Kind* to He Tried on a Portion
of the ltoud.
About twenty-five county hands have
been at work on the Ogeechee road now
for the last week getting It In shape
to put down chert from the city limits out
to the Charleston and Savannah railroad
crossing.
The length of that part of the road
to be paved is about 3,500 feet. The men
began their work near the railroad and
will work up to the city limits. A side
track has already been put in at this point
to accommodate the chert on its arrival,
part of it being expected the latter part
of this week. Two kinds of chert will
be used, one from the mines on the Chat
tanooga, Rome and Columbus railroad,
near Chattanooga, and the other from the
Laramore mines, near Atlanta. The ob
ject Is to determine which Is the best in
quality and the most durable. It is ex
pected that the paving of this part of the
road will be completed within two or
three months' time, at most.
PEARS FROM PINEORA.
Tree* So Heavily Loaded That Small
Limb* Break Off.
The country around Plneora, about thir
ty miles from Savannah, on the Central
railroad, Is becoming famoua as a fruit
growing section. Mr. T. D. Hayward of
Pineora brought in to the Morning News
office a stem on the end of which were
hanging six large, elegant pears of the
Keiffer variety. These pears are growing
In abundance on the land around Plneora,
and the soil Is apparently of such a na
ture, that they thrive and reach the most
luxurious maturity. The weight is so
great in many instances that small limbs
break off. The crop there this year is a
large one. It Is a late pear, and a better
variety for preserving than the LeConte
pear. The success of the fruit orchards
there this year, will, no doubt, lead others
to make a venture In that direction an
other season.
CUT AT THUNDERBOLT.
Edward Turner Get* Into a Row
With Serious Re*nlt*,
Edward Turner, colored, got into a row
at Thunderbolt last night and was bad
ly cut. He was brought Into the city on
a car and taken to his father’s home at
No. 5 Bolton street. Willis Norman, a
colored man, who boarded the car as It
was coming into the city, was arrested
by Policeman Godbold, who happened to
be on the car, on the statement of some
negroes who were with Turner that Nor
man answered the description of the man
who did the cutting. Norman claimed to
have just left his home and not to have
been at Thunderbolt at all. It Is likely
that he will make his claim good.

RELIGIOUS UNITY DESIRED.
HEV. A. M. WILLIAMS’ SERMON OS
THAT SUBJECT LAST NIGHT.
The Orilrr for ( ally Anionic hr He
llkloui Element Growing Greatly.
The Address of the New York
Rabbi Was the Starting Point.
Bishop Selnun'a Sermon Referred
To—There la Good in All Creeda,
and lienee They Should Not Fight
One Another.
Rev. A. M. Williams, pastor of Wesley
Monumental church delivered a very in
teresting talk last night to an attentive
audience upon, the theme “Christian Un
ity.” It is a topic that the religious
world is now devoting much attention to
and Its discussion was timely and appro
priate.
Taking his text from IX. Corinthians,
111:6: "The letter killeth, but the spirit
giveth life.” The preacher said in part:
“The desire for unity among God's peo
ple has had several expressions in Sa
vannah of late. The eloquent address of
the New York rabbi last spring, the very
able sermon of the Rev. Mr. Lanier and
Bishop Nelson’s indorsement of the
Lambeth plan of church unity
as reported in our papers last week, are
the forms it has taken. Other utterances
have been given, and it is worth while
for the Christian to think over the mat
ter.
“As far as the desire is a real expression
of the heart and not a mere pretense for
advancing one's own ecclesiasticism, it
is a source of profound pleasure to a lover
of humanity. The desire to get closer to
our brothers in the highest realm of our
being is a noble aspiration.
The speaker here enlarged upon the idea
that many sought unity by making It a
point that others should surrender their
convictions to them. Many instances of
the material points asked for by differ
ent sects were mentioned. Some
churchts* were bold and candid enough to
admit the fact while others sought it
through hidden means.
“We may hope for little unity through
these sources,” continued the speaker.
“The history of the church is full of
such efforts and they mean simply an
increase of the evil Instead of its elimina
tion.
"True unity in religion must come from
within, not without. There can be
formed no creed broad enough for all the
millions of mankind to stand upon. The
real germ of union is in the love of which
our brother Lanier and the
Rabbi spoke. Let us preach
love to all. Let us practice love to all.
Avoid trying to make the world see as
we do. Give up hating and destroying a
man because he won’t wear your collar.
The unity of humanity is within itself.”
True unity, the minister stated, cannot
be manufactured. It can only bo grown.
This man cannot do. He can sow the seed
under favorable conditions, but the power
of growth is not in him.
True unity takes time. God is at the
helm. He is bringing His people together.
The movement inside the churches all
point to ultimate unity.
True unity does not necessarily imply
uniformity. The great law of the .universe
is unity in diversity. The principle of
evolution is that the same is transformed
into the diverse. If we only have the real
love of the true, the beautiful, the good in
our souls It matters not in how many
forms it displays itself. There is a real
advantage in diversity; it use more soul,
It affords opportunity for more workers.
“I may preach the good as I see with a
view of winning to the good as many as I
can. I must not cry down another more
earnest than myself because he cannot see
t'he good as I do.
“True unity is in honest love for God
and man,” said he in conclusion. “Other
methods of seeking it will prove failures.
Love seeks not her own and will not cut
down because another’s expressions is
unlike its own.”

THE MORNING NEWS
Annual Trade Review.
A Few Words to Those Who Advertise.
The annual Trade Review of the Savan
nah Mlornlng News will be Issued on Sept.
10, and will, as usual, present to the read
ers of Its dally and weekly editions a full
commercial history of the city for the
past y ear, and also the advertisements of
the leading merchants, manufacturers,
and other business men of Savannah.
It goes without laymj that the “bad
times” that have afltec-ei all kinds of trade
are gradually passing away, and that it
will not be a great while oefore business
will be what It was previous to the begin
ning of the recent financial disturbances.
The chaaige for the better, it may be sail,
began with the opening of the spring
trade.
Savannah is well prepared to take ad
vantage of the fair wind and her mer
chants are getting ready for the breeze
that makes business brisk. This is Indi
cated by the improvements and enlarge
ments of business houses now going on in
the city and there is not a doubt that
these expectations of a better trade will
prove to be well founded.
Crops of all kinds are good; that means
prosperity for the city as well as for the
country.
The railroads centering In this city are
better prepared to foster and handle the
freight and passenger business than ever
before.
One great stumbling block to Savannah
has been the condition of the Central rail
road s affairs. That company will soon be
reorganized and Its securities will add
largely to the available capital of Savan
nah and the purchasing capacity of her
people.
The bank clearings, the best barometer
of trade, show that the business done by
our financial Institutions Is larger than
ever and that Savannah stands ahead of
any southern city, excepting one. In the
amount of money handled In trade.
The new buildings now being erected In
Savannah are another Indication of re
turning prosperity. They show that not
only business is good in the building line,
and that mechanics are earning money,
but that capitalists believe Savannah is a
good place in which to make permanent
Investments.
In the Annual Trade Review It is pro
posed to present the facts above out
lined in extenso and also the advertise
ments of Savannah's leading business
houses. They go well together.
The Morning News would like to have
every merchant and other business man’s
name and every enterprise In Savannah
represented In Its Annual Trade Review.
Every subscriber of the Morning News
and Weekly News will receive a copy of
the Annual Trade Review.
Advertisers get the advantage of reach
ing the thousands of readers of these two
great publications at a cost not exceeding
the price of space in either the Morning
News or the Weekly jNews.
Every merchant should be represented.
They cannot afford not to have their ads
in the Annual Trade Review. It is Impor
tant and necessary that they proclaim
their business advantages to the world.
The live business man knows the value
of advertising.
Those wanting space In the Annual
Trade Review can obtain information at
the office of the Morning News.
Those who so desire it will be visited by
a representative of the Morning News.
