Herein it proclaims its ad- I IICI\Cr van t a ores. It is not a propiiecv of commercial and industrial prosperity to come, but a pinnacle of wealth and peerless prominence already reached, and the unerring finger of the Goddess of Progress still points to higher and broader attainments in the varied channels in which are coursing the strong currents of steady advancement. Savannah has chosen to wait until in the ripening fruition of her destiny she cai point with unchallenged faith to her unrivalled advantages and say: Here is not a projected seaport, but a queenly port in whose deep and fresh-water harbor the shipping of the world can be accommodated, and vessels of the greatest draught can pass in out from and to the great ocean freighted to their fullest capacity. Here is not a city to which extensive lines of railway are looking for terminals, but a city where they have constructed terminals costing millions of dollars, and commensurate with the importance of the chief port of the South Atlantic; here is a city where inducements are not being frantically launched in an endeavor to secure lines of steamships, for they are already in operation with hundreds of acres of storehouses and miles of docks and wharves, and embracing lleets of elegant and capacious ocean liners giving regularly to the centers of trade, commerce and manufactures on the North Atlantic. If there should be anything more desired, write to any one of the many who have joined in this proclamation. Better still, come and visit Savannah and form your own opinions of what it is to-day, what it is destined to be in the next decade —the metropolis ot the Southern States. In the glow of its wondrous prosperity, we tender you the freedom of a city whose hospitality has been the theme of song and story from the time it entertained Gen. La Fayette until its recent welcome and royal hospitality to the hero of Manila Bay.
