HE STANDS PAT.
COL. HAWKINS MAKES NO OVER
TURES TO THE R. & O.
Savannah Clamoring for an Ezteniton of
the Rood—The Rumors that the Cools-
.III# and Nashville Sjalera Will Take a
Band In the Oame Generally Credited.
There la a robust sentiment abroad
favoring the assumption that the nego
tiation! that were pending between tne
L. A N. and the S. A' «fc M. are complete
and that the eaetern division of tbit
road will be built shortly. *
Savannah la elamortng for the exten
sion, signifying her readiness to lend a
helping hand as soon at olrcumstances
shape themselves toward a completion
of the road to Savannah.
These strong reasons why a deal has
been effected between the L <fc N. and
the S. A. A M. roads present themselves
olearly and forcibly:
First: The deep water agitation In Sa
vannah has attracted the attenUon^jof
the great Louisville & Nashville system]
and they desire an Atlantic port outlet.
Second: During the month it was cur
rent report in the newspapers that the
Louisville A Nashville bad secured con
trol of the South Carolina railroad and
would seek a port at Charleston. The
Louisville A Nashville, jointly with the
Georgia Central, own, by lease, the
Georgia railroad, from Augusta to At
lanta. The Louisville A Nashville also
own, by lease, the Western A Atlantic,
from Atlanta to Chattanooga, and there
the Louisville A Nashville has plenty of
connections.
Had they secured the South Carolina
road of course they would have easy ac
cess to Charleston. This scheme, how
ever, if It were ever seriously thought of,
has fallen through, and now it seems
that the Louisville A Nashville may
come to Savannah by way of the Savan
nah, Amerious A Montgomery.
Third: That It will offer the shortest
route to Birmingham, St. Louis, Cincin
nati, Mobile, Pensacola and New Or
leans.
An Interview with a prominent oltlzen
in Savannah in the Press throws no little
light on the oomplexion of sentiment in
Savannah regarding the completloh of
the eastern division of the Sam road:
“Tou fellows of the Press liad it down
about right about the Savannah, Amor-
icus A Montgomery and the Louisville A
Nashville yesterday," said a prominent
railroader this afterdoon.
“Do you know,” he continued, “that
I believe that Colonel Hawkins is ar
ranging with the Louisville A Nashville.
“The very faot that Colonel Hawkins,
since his row with the Riohmond and
Danville, has made no overtures to that
line Is proof positive that he has other
resources.
“Of course the Savannah, Amertcus A
Montgomery can’t remain In the state It
now is. That wouldn’t be business—
and, 1 tell you, Hawkins is a business
man. I am convinced In my own mind
that If he Isn’t trading with the Louis
ville and Nashville, that he has some
other thing In view—possibly as good.
“1 feel It all through me that Savan
nah is going to be benefited by this dis
agreement between Colonel Hawkins
and the Riohmond A Danville. I am In
a position to know, because of my asso
ciation with the business men of Savan
nah, that they are ripe for any move
ment that will aid the building of the
Savannah, Amertcus A Montgomery into
the city, If any reasonable assurance is
given that It will not be absorbed by Its
competitors after it has been built into
the city. You people of the Press are
on the right line as regards this railroad
matter. Keep it np.
“Agitation Is the thing now. The
newspspen can do more than any other
.agency in encouraging Colonel Hawkins.
Keepltupi Keep it upP’—
TUB FAIR
To-morrow
Will Bo Continued Until
Want.
Great disappointment was felt by the
whole community when the rain oame
on yesterday evening and kept so many
of those away from the A. L. L military
fair, who were anxlons to attend and
make purchases at the closing sale'of
remaining goods.
During the week a great many of,the
goods were disposed of, yet tnneb re
mains whloh would most surely would
have been disposed of had the weather
yesterday evening not been so very In
clement. The crowd In attendance,
however, was good, when taking Into
consideration the attendant disadvan
tages.
. The mansgement has decided to con
tinue the fair during to-morrow, and
quite the feature of the last day will be
the contest between the young men in
voting for the prettiest gtrL This will
be a spirited fight, and the number of
votes already, polled is very compliment
ary to several of our most charming
young ladies, and laying aside the fact
that the successful candidate will be the
recipient of a handsome solitaire dia
mond, the testimonial tendered them In
the way of ballots will show them that
they have a host of admirers.
Mr, Roe Edwards won the handsome
screen whloh was raffled Friday night.
The screen Is a work of qrt, and Mr. Ed
wards it to be congratulated upon bit
good fortune.
To £be ladles is due In a large meat
ure the success of the fair, and with
their able co-operation the A. L. I. has
given to Amerious a-week of more than
ordinary social enjoyment
Tribute of Respect.
Methodist Episcopal Sunday
School, November 22, 1801.—Death,
even when it strikes down the aged,
who have lived out their allotted years,
has Its terrors. But how mueh more so
when it Invaaes the household to take
therefrom the young, whose mystic ties
of being are bound in the bundle of life,
unfolding from youth to manhood. In
the death of Walter Crisp we sympathize
with Hit parents In their sad heron?-
ment and loss. He is taken from the
evil to come and has gone before to join
his sister who is on the other side. It
is a pleasing thought and not unwar
ranted by the Scriptures, to believe that
his sister, as a ministering spirit,
watched for his coming from the battle
ments of heaven, and with her cadences, l
or wings of the morning, she escorted
hit freed spirit to the mansions in the
skies.
Hetolved. That In the death of Walter
Crisp, the 8abbatu school of the First Meth
odist Church of Americas, Ga., has lost a
member—one'who had a pleaeant (mettus
for all, who was lovtd by all, and one wboee
absence we sincerely mourn;
Resolved. That the above preamble and
resolutions be placed upon the minutes, and
a copy be urnlshed the family of the de

An Wqulne Epidemic.
There la a queer disease affliotlug the
horses In Amnions that promises to
spread very generally unless it la ar
retted. It attacks the Internal organs of
the animals and results fatally in a gen
erality of cases. Mr. Thornton Wheat-
ley lost a handsome carriage horse from
this disease, and there are several other
eases that resulted fatally reported.
Veterinary surgeons should be em
ployed to investigate this malady and

Prof, Odell Sosrs up Into the Blue Ethe-
rial—A Good Ascenfloo.
In the presence of an assembled crowd
estimated variously at from 3,000 to
3,500, Prof, Odell, the aerial navigator,
sailed up among the clouds.
The canvas was inflated with hot air
and the pstaohuto was attaehed to the
small end. When the ropes were slipped
the balloon darted np like a greased
streak of lightning, and soon was sailing
away among the clouds. He ascended
to about an attitude of six hundred feet
when he ent the rope and desoended In a
parachute, alighting about a half a mile
from the point where the ascension was
made. The parachute’s descent was
graceful and steady and made a pretty
picture away up in the air.
Ou every afternoon at half-past three
o’elook the Professor will mahe an as-
eonalon, varying the programme on Sat
urday with the ascension of a young lady
14 year* old, and a dog.
The girl will out the dog loose, and
both she and her canine eompanlon will
descend by two paraohntes.
The only remuneration the Professor
receives is from a pnblie collection taken
up before each exhibition.

W E, the self appointed, yet, sincere and careful guardians
of the people’s household expenses, do hereby proclaim
the appropriateness of the Thanksgiving season, and
Whereas, While the immutable laws of Supply & De
mand have reduced the marketable value of our most staple
productions; still, we have been enabled to reduce the prices
on the most staple articles of consumption, and so with the
wail of cotton at 7c. (you hear the echo,) Tumblers, 3c. each
—surely for every bitter there is a sweet, and
Whereas, While the.Protectionists of the classes have
increased the duty on tin over 12b per cent, we the Protectors
of the masses, have lowered the tariff you have been used to
on tin, and, while ye Custom House officials proclaim duty
increased $2.20 on tin for (comes the echo) “Sweeping reduc
tions bn tinware at the Peoples’ Artesian Corner,” and
Whereas, While with these grey and sombre mornings
comes the winters winds, the biting frosts and shivering
shakes, ’till one’s frozen mind -almost congeals, and. icy
thoughts displace warm regards; still.then there is provided .
for you all a line of stoves and heaterl, whose brightness and
warmth will dispel the dreariest chills of existence and per
vade your being with a warm thankfulness as will echo back
compliments of the season to Artesian Corner Stores, and
Whereas, We have proclaimed the appropriateness of
the season to all, we -commend it to quiet thought and
consideration. Be ye thankful for the favors you receive, and
if you are wrong in doing this; then, we are with you too.
