THERE ARE REASONS FOR IT.
ft Is Simply An Equation of Overproduction and Under Consumption.
We don't claim any particular credit for offering to the people of Savannah these panic prices. But we do know that the community in which we live will accord to us some degree
of thanks for the manner in which we are trying to serve them. Our good fortune has made us the means to that end, and we -are fulfilling cur mission, and are receiving daily thanks
and praise from our beneficiaries. We called this great opportunity the “Challenge Sale” simply because all competitors were asked to toe the mark. If they can give you from their
regularly bought stocks prices such as these factories are willing to close out their surplus stuffs at, why our challenge has been of benefit to you. And we feel assured that the public
will remember the origin and source of their good forfune.ani remember us in so doing.
IT HAS BROKEN ALL PREVIOUS RECORDS!
We have daily evi
dence that our patrons
and friends are pleas
ed with
This Great Sale.
Of course c< mpeti
tors are not delighted
with it, but we can’t
help that. If this store
had not been made the
outlet for this surplus
stuff, some other store
would.
The early closing scheme has
met with such commendation from
our patrons that we feel gratified
and repaid.

Savannah, Ga., May 30, 1900.—T0 the
Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Sa

through Mr. C. H. Dorsett, offers 500 acres
on the Ogeechee road, adjoining the Gar
rard land, and lying on both of said

6. Mr. George W. Lamar offers 300
acres located on the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway, Jujt beyond South
over Junction, one mile and a half from
the city limits at $lO per acre. Terms, one-
Hitrd casn. balance on time, ’Altai price.
$12,000. . . „
7 Messrs. Voumans & Demmond
off-r Iguds embracing 368 acres, adjacent

Grove Cemetery, at SIOO pew acre. Total
price, $36,900.
8. Mr. J. Palmer Brown, through
Messrs. Yoilmans * Demmond, offers 130
acres at slls per acre, lying between the

OFFICIAL.
also land of Mr. C. T. Cooper, adjoining,
200 to 400 acres, at sllO per acre, making
a total of 530 acres. Total price, $58,950.
9. Evergreen Cemetery Company of
fers "Bonavenlure,” containing 80 acres,
more or less, on which, it is stated, there
are over 400 lots held by residents of the
city, upon terms, $20,000 cash, with an
agreement by the city to care for certain
lots in perpetuity, specified in the offer.
To this is attached an offer of the Mer
chants and Mechanics Land Company of
fourteen adjoining acres, at $250 per acre,
and about twenty-seven acres more, be
longing to various parties, making forty
one acres to be added to "Bonaventure,"
or, in all, 121 acres, including "Bonaven
ture” at $250, an average of $250 per acre.
10. Mr. William Garrard offers his
body of land, fronting on the Ogeechee
road, where Ahe Florida Central and Pe
ninsular Railroad crosses the same, one
and seven-eighths miles from the city lim
its, and extending across to the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway, being 1.060
acres, more or less, for the sum of $45,000,
to be paid in ten years’ time, in equal in
stalments, with interest at 5 per centum,
payable semi-annually. Interest not to be
gin, however, until Jan. 1, 19QJ.
Second. In considering these offers, this
committee having in- view that Laurel
Grove Cemetery has been condemned by
the health officers for years past, as "a
menace to the public health,” could not
entertain offers of lands adjacent to the
same, such as offers numbered 5 and 7.
The offer of "Bonaventure” Cemetery,
and lands adjoining, could not be accepted
by this committee, because the price was
too high, not enough land was offered, and
beyond all this, "Bonaventure” Is, and
has been a cemetery since 1849, and it
would be bad policy for the city to ac
quire the remainder of the land not al
ready used by graves, for the public cem
etery of the future.
When Laurel Grove was laid out less
than fifty years ago, it contained 117.9
acres, when the population of Savannah
1 was about one-fifth of what it is now,
so that If a cemetery should be acquired
to be laid out with narrow driveways
and small lots, as the present one Is, and
to last less than half a century, about 600
acres would be required.
The cemetery of the future should oe
modern and handsome, with broad drive
ways, larger lots, and with land enough
to supply the needs of our people for more
than half a century.
It should also be so located as not to be
in the line of probable city extension, and
yet near enough; and Its drainage should
be in a direction from, and not towards
the city, nor should It be Into the Savan
nah river.
Third. After careful consideration of
the lands offered, and of the necessary
requisites of anew cemetery, the commit
tee has selected the Garrard tract.
This tract, as offered, embraces 1,091%
acres, extending from the Ogeechee road
to the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway, but of which the owner has given
to the county a public road, through
Fame, and also a sufficient amount of
land for Buckhalter canal and Its later
als. leaving of this tract 1.060 acres,
m re or less, which Is offered at $45,000,
to be paid for in ten years. In equal In
stalments. with Interest at 5 per centum,
payable s-ml-annually, Interest not to be
gin, however, until Jan. 1, KOI.
This tract Is a handsome one, well
wooded. in the right direction, southwest
from the city, to be accessible and yet not
In the line of the city’s growth, and Is
on a water-shed, the drainage of which
Is carried off into the Ogeechee river.
BuckhaPer canal is at the foot of this
water-shed, with laterals being dug by
the county, and the committee has the
stall ment of the drainage engineer of
the county, that the laterals now being
dug In this tract will lower the plane .of
ratural water level between four and
gev-n f t.
The elevatlcn of this tract, at and near
’Tis an ill wind that blows nobody
good.”
The manufacturer’s loss is the
consumer’s gain.
OFFICIAL.
the Ogeechee road, is higher than Laurel
Grove, being about 37 feet, as shown on the
topographical county map, with a grad
ual slope towards the Buckhalter canal,
near the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway.
Fourth. The committee therefore rec
ommend, that the tract offered by Mr.
William Garrard, hereinbefore described,
and for the price and upon the terms
named, be accepted, and that upon the
examination of titles by the city attor
ney, and his acceptance of the same,
Major’s notes be issued in the usual
form, upon tho delivery of satisfactory
deed.
This committee further recommend,
that the owners of lots in Laurel Grove
Cemetery shall not be deprived of the
use of their lots for burial purposes, but
that the sale of lots in that cemetery
shall be discontinued as soon as may be
practicable. Respectfully submitted,
ISAAC G. HAAS,
JAMBS M. DIXON,
JOSEPH O. JARRELL,
JOHN SCHWARZ,
Committee.
While agreeing to the report In the
main as to the desirability of the pur
chase of the Garrard tract at the price
named, yet owing to its inaccessibility,
not being within easy reach of persons
not keeping private conveyances, I think
some means cf easy access should be
assured before definite action is taken.
GEORGE J. MILLS.
Upon motion, which was adopted, Al
derman Thomas moved that the report
be laid on the table until the next regu
lar meeting, and that it be published for
information.
