Georgia has taken a step forward in
the organization or her militia upon a
solid basis. The esprit de corps of our
citizen soldiery was never better, and
the prospect is that in a few years we will
have 5,000 or 10,000 troops, well equip¬
ped, well drilled and under admirable
discipline. Similar steps will be taken
by most of the states, and in some, like
New York, great progress have been
made already. Now, c<>n-idur what this
means. With 5,000 or 10,000 well equip

The Stale Fair Muddle.
The state fair muddle at Macon is be¬

meeting introduced of the city council, Mayor Price

of* the society is $1,022.22. The city
council has agreed to pay only $87.25 of

Good for the Forest Cltjr.
Savannah is now nearer securing
needed harbor improvements than ever
before in its history. With the vast in¬
fluence of Jay Gould and the newly in¬
terested parties of the Richmond Ter¬
minal system, much can be obtained.
Already sufficient intimation has been
given by the men in control of the Cen¬
tral of their intention to advance Savan¬
nah’s interests as a seaport. In no way
can this be better done than by the im¬
provement of the harbor. They under¬
stand this perfectly, and know full well
that any and all improvements of this
character must redound to their own
benefit as well as to the benefit of all
Georgia and adjacent territory.
For the Davis Monument.
A citizens’ meeting was held at Savan¬
nah on the 18th and plans were formed
by which Savannah will take a prominent
part in the movement to erect a monu¬
ment to Jefferson Davis. Over fifty or¬
ganizations, military and civic, some of
them among the most ancient and hon
I ored in the south, were represented. The
meeting was under the call of the mayor
of Charles the city, who presented presided. Colonel
Olmstead resolutions
pledging the co-operation of Savannah.
Speeches were made by representative
citizens, and a plan was adoped whereby
the various organizations of the city will
open fund. subscription lists to will a monument also
r i he newspapers open
lists, and a committee of 500 citizens will
be appointed to canvass for funds.
A River and Hnrlior Congress.
The Savannah Times is advocating a
river and harbor congress for Savannah.
It says that a few years ago such a con¬
gress was held there, and it was attended
by representative men from nearly all of
the southern states, and by the some from
the north. We quote from Times:
“Kansas and Missouri are closely identi¬
fied with Savannah to-day. Kansas City
is shipping freight-to New York by Sa¬
vannah cheaper than by any other route.
Large shipments of western wool have
been made through Savannah to New
York, and the trunk lines to the north
are, exercised no little over the diversion
of traffic this way. With deeper water
from Savannah to the bar, the Richmond
and Danville can offer such freight rates
from the west to New York, by way of
this port, that a vast amount of new
traffic will come this way. A congress of
representative men w T ould be of great
value to Savannah, we believe. We
would suggest that the mayor and the
leading business men of the city confer
the advisability of calling a river and
harbor congress.”
Primitive Baptists and the Alliance.
Throughout Georgia there are many
Hardshell or Primitive Baptists, and in
no part of the state have they more
strength than in southwest Georgia. In
Sumter, Marion, Schley, Stewart and
Webster they flourish like a green bay
tree. A prominent allianceman is re
ported by the Americus Times-Recorder
hSE ^S‘cSh it e .^rSd! have
liance. The Hardshells, seems,
a clause in the creed or constitution
of their church which forbids any mem¬
ber of the church being a member of a
secret order. The alliance happens
to be a secret order, ana as a consequence
many members of it have recently been
turned out of the church for violating
its laws. Of course that will never do.
Some of our best members belong to the
Hardshell church, and a man should not
give up his church for anything. The
Alliance must do something in the mat¬
ter. The olny remedy I see is to have
two branches of the order—one secret
and the other open. It’s a question of
deep moment to us. There are, perhaps,
2,000 Hardshell Baptists now in the Al¬
liance, and unless we act auickly they
will either have to get out pi the church
or the Alliance.”

TRADE REVIEW.
Report on Business by R. G.
Dun & Co.
Messrs. R. G. Dun & Co.’s, review of
trade for week ending June 19th, says:
While crop reports continue remarkably
favorable, the volume of business at
present transacted is not as large as it has
been in other years at this time. This is
in part because the exceptionally hot
weather at many points has induced
something like midsummer dullness, but
a more important cause undoubtedly is
that trade in many branches has been
waiting for a certainty before of improvement, undertaking
and definite orders
new risks. There is also some hesitation
owing to recent failures, particularly in
Philadelphia. Credits have been more
cautiously given in the woollen and boot
and shoo trades, and this has lessened the
volume of transactions. Hence, it is en¬
couraging to find that there is actual im¬
provement in the demand for consump¬
tion in several of the more important
trades, aud that manufacturers already
begin to feel the effects. the Crop prospects week,
have improved during and northwestern past
particularly in southern has been lack of
regions, where there a single
rain, and there is now scarcely a
commercial center from which crop re¬
ports are not highly favorable.
Business is improved at Louisville, de¬
cidedly at Montgomery and slightly at
New Orleans. Trade is small at Memphis,
but crop prospects good; dull at Nash¬
ville, better than usual lor the season at
Atlanta, and much better than last year
at Jacksonvlle. Reports from all quarters
indicate little complaint as to collections.
Regarding money, they show almost
everywhere an ample supply for legiti¬
mate and safe business, but it is fre¬
quently mentioned that there is no sup¬
ply for speculation, and at St. Louis the
market is stiffer at 7 and 8 per cent.; at
Kansas City firm at 8 to 10, and Detroit
strong at 7, rather stringent at Cleveland/
tight at Little Rock and Atlants, close
at Nashville, and in good demand with
firm rates at New Orleans. From all
other points reports indicate compara
ative ease.’ It is another hopeful indica¬
tion that the demand for manufactured
iron and steel improves.
Business failures occurring throughout
the country during the past week number,
for the United States, 224; Canada, 29;
total, 2t : ,3, against 244 last week.
