TO MEET IN SAVANNAH.
A Democratic Negro Paper.
C. E. Yarboro, the editor of the
Southern Appeal, the only Demo
cratic negro paper in the South, Is
In the city. He comes highly rec
ommended, and is a courteous,
highly educated negro. He was
educated In the North, and after
wards traveled over Ihe States,
looking for the place where the
negro’s best friend was—He found
it iu the South. He is a Democrat
to the core. His paper Is the expo
nent of conservatism, aud its ad
vice to the colored people Is always
timely aud well put. We hope be
will do well in Amerlcus.

They Can’t Get Out Now.
Officer Ray took upon himself the
work of putting In the new
bars at the calaboose, and
arranging them so the pris
oners could not get oat. He
was hard at work yesterday drill
ing holes in the stones and fitting
the bars, and finished one grating
before night. Officers Feagin and
Martin Informed us that they were
bossing the work, but Mr. Ray
stated that they were merely on
hand to run errands for him.
The other gratings will be pnt in
to-day, and no prisoner can get ont
without sawing them In two. The-
one finished Is a neat piece of work,
J and speaks well for Mr. Bay’s me-
I chanica) skill.
The place of meeting of the
spring session of the State Agri
cultural Society lias been changed
from Ellaville, Schley county, to
Savannah.
At the fall meeting of the society
at LaGrange, last August, the only
invitation extended the society for
its next convention was from the
enterprising young city of Ella
ville. The invitation was promptly
accepted, and the people of Ella
ville confidently expected to have
the agriculturalists with them on
the second Wednesday in Febru
ary, 1891, the date of the next meet
ing. It was found by the associa
tion authorities, however, that the
accommodations at Ellaville would
probably prove too limited for the
crowds that attend the regular ses
sions of the society, and, although
'.he big-hearted hospitality of the
people ot Ellaville was fully appre
ciated, it was decided to seek
another and larger town for a meet
ing place.
At the Bta'e Fair, Dr. H. H. Ca
rey, of LaGrange, Dr. 8. Hape, or
Hapeville, and Major A. . Wooley,
of Kingston, were appointed a com
mittee with power to act in the
matter. The committee selected
Bavannah as the next meeting
place. Dr. Carey passed* through
the city yesterdhy from
Bavannah, where he had been to
make some preliminary arrange
ments for the meeting next Febru
ary.
The “transactions” of the fall
meeting of the agricultural society,
officially compiled by Secretary R.
W. Jemison, are now in tho hands
of the secretary. The volume con
tains sixty pages, full of interest to
the farmer reader.

The Beit In Georgia.
Harris A Payne, the enterprising
plumbers, have added several more
contracts to their already long and
big list. The latest is fot all the
