A Public Hall in Savannah.

Great need has been felt in our city of
q public hall suitable for lectures, con-
certs, or almost any entertainment that
might visit us. The different church
auditoriums are not always to be had,
and sometimes are not appropriate pla-
ccs, exactly, for the exhibition to be
given, and the Courthouse is unsuitable.
In view of these circumstances, the
thanks of all public-spirited citizens of
Savannah will be freely given Mr.. ]. I.
Hardy, of the live dry good firm of Stiles
& Hardy, who has purchased the house
where the Clifton House formerly stood.
on the East End Of the Square, and pro-
poses to build thereon, as soon Is posi-
BILE. q large and fine two-story brick
building, the first floor to be occupied
by Stiles & Hardy rs a dry goods store.
and the second floor to be fitted up as a
large and commodious public hall.
Now that the ice is broken. we hope
other buildings will be erected on that
end Of the Square, to replace the un-
seemly pile Of ruins that still offends the
eyes of our own citizens as well as of
visitors from abroad.

A Grange Movemeut-Attention,
Farmers.

The proprietors Of the Savannah Mills,
with a view Of encouraging the raising
of good. clean wheat, have agreed to
grind grists of ten bushels or more OF
clean wheat (not rye mixed) at the rate
charged by water-power mills, namely:
one-eighth for toll. For grinding rye
mixed the full rate of toll is exacted.
This is a good incentive to farmers to
take alittle extra trouble and try to pro-
duce clean, unmixed grain. Mcssrs. c.
p. Miller & Sons now have all the corn
meal they grind bolted, unless ordered
otherwise. Farmers bringing grists
should try to come on Thursday or Fri
day. as greater promptness al be as
sured on those days than any other.

The New South Side Grocery and
Dry Goods Store.

An inspection of the store room on
the South Side OF the Public Square,
now nearly ready for occupation by j.
B. Russell's immense stock of new and
cheap goods, cannot fail to convince the
spectator that it is one of the finest
rooms of the kind in the city. 1t is
destined to be tho place where many. a
heart will be made glad, by bargains
in dry goods and groceries such as was
never before dreamed of. New goods
are being regularly received at the old
stand, where the most fastijious taste
a surely be satisfied, and where all
who want the greatest quantity of goods
for the least money should never fail to
call. Mr.. Russell is building up a larger
trade than ever by adhering to the mot
to of ''Small profits and quick sales.r
Go, see, and be convinced.

TEMPERANCE
Proposed Organisation Of Q La
dies Temperance League
in Savannah.

NASc temperance A0S00
in Savannah.
For some time past the Temperance
Lodge in this city has been adding to its
members, and otherwise becoming in
a more fourishing condition than here
tofore. Since the great Gee Of the
woman's movement IN Ohio and else
where, a..desire has been felt among the
active temperance advocates in this VI
cinity that some nor direct and tangi-
BILE efforts should be made than had
heretofore been attempted. Pursuant to
call, the Sixth Street Methodist Church
was literally packed full Of the well
wishers of the cause of temperance. on
Sunday night last, and pertinent re-
marks were made by Revs. Gillies,
Cruikshank and Pollock. 1t was deci-
ded to meet ut the same place on last
Tuesday afternoon ut 2 O'Clock, for the
purpose of organizing a Woman's Tenn
perance League, and of determining. so
far Us might be, the line of action to be
taken. Owing to the v frigidity Of
the atmosphere on Tuesday, very
few ladies were in attendance,
and it was concluded to post
pone the meeting to next Tuesday night,
and change the place Of meeting to the
Presbyterian Church. In the meantime
the telegraph brings us daily reports of
the almost uniform success of the
women's efforts in the East, and people
are wondering whether we will have a
taste of the excitement and novelty
here.

Cured in reftting and overhauling the
mill throughout, but so great have been
the improvements that the amount of
grinding done in the part of the year it
was running was about equal to the usu-
al amount for the whole year previous
ly. Its facilities being 50 much greater,
farmers have been benefited proper
tionately, and the city equally SO by an
increase in the. home product of -four.
Foreign brands of flour, &C., are not
sold to near the extent they were n
year ago, and besides, . large surplus
has been shipped by them to various
points. The Messrs. Miller are live bus
mess men, and are determined to make
their mill benefit to the community;
for proof of which we refer to another
column where production in the toll of
certain grist grinding is proposed. They
deserve success.

birth as 1t had been divided upon almost
every question Of any Importance. Flhaiiy they
agreed ON date, and although they probably hit far

tent TO celebrate particular day. The whole value of
any event he thought lay IN its ass0ciaons ana there
could be little doubt as to the expediency OF
celebrating such an event as the birth OF
Christ, Every birth, death, marriage In
family is remembered, and on the respective anniver
sares there comeback swarm of associations and 1t
