q Pleasant Occasion-ResOluti
of Thanks.

Our popular townsman, Z. B. Reppard,
ESQ, who is ever ready for every good
work, gave the members Of the District
Conference and the Methodists in the city
an excursion to Tybee Saturday afternoon
on the steamer q. B. Plant. The steamer
left her wharf at 2:30 O'Clock with as happy
a crowd as ever filed her saloon, number
ing $50. The Union Twilight Band fur
nlshed delightful music for the occasion,
and added greatly to the pleasures of the
| day.
Many members of the Conference had
never before seen the ocean, nor the at
fractions that line the river on the route, so
that constant series of surprises met their
gaze and enhanced their enjoyment. The
excursionists took In all the points Of inter-
est, and will have much to relate on their
return to their up country homes.
The steamer made the wharf at Tybee at
4 O'Clock, and Captain MunDerlyn was in
waiting with ample means Of transporta-
ton, placing the entire party on the beach
| ia one trip of his cars. The excursionists
| soon scattered in search OF pleasure, each
taking the bent of their owl minds-Some
to gathering shells, some to the surf bath,
some to q drive on the beach, while others
| fingered in the pavilion. At the instance OF
| Mr.. Reppard several servants were kept
busy dispensing lemonade to the thirsty
ones. Mr.. Ybanez cheerfully rendered
whatever assistance he could to meet the
wants of the visitors.
1t was a delightful day, and everybody
enjoyed the occasion immensely, and none
more 50 than Bishop Pierce and his wife,
who were Of the party.
At 1880 o'clock In the evening the signal
was given and the excursionists were soon
| on their way to the steamer, and after q
most delightful moonlight ride the Plant
reached her wharf at 10 o'clock.
On the homeward voyage an invitation
was given to assemble in the cabin, when
| Colonel r. D. Walker was called to the
chair, and Rev. G. G. n. MacDOnell requested
to act as Secretary. DR.. j. o. a. Clark, on
behalf of the excursionists and the District

Under this title a company has been or

doing ell other things necessary and proper
for the fUrtherance Of said business.
The capital allowed by said charter is the
sum Of one hundred thousand dollars, with
the privilege Of increasing the same TO one

The commercial interests Of Savannah

trade. The factors are interested in such
scheme, because a large warehouse-wen

to increase facility and ease Of de-
levery Of cotton to them from the rail-
roads and by them TO the exporters and
buyers, thus enabling them to realize on
sales more promptly, whose receipts could
be used as q basis OF credit at banks, not
only here but elsewhere-would materially
add 10 the profits, safety, dispatch and in
crease Of business Of this important class Of
merchants.
The benefits resulting to factors would

additionally the exporters could receive
their eottOns from such a warehouse in

which would be of unqUestiOned reliability
as to what cOttons they purported to repre-

Interesting "Reminiscences of York
town.

The regular meeting of the Georgia His
torical Society will be held this even
ing at o'clock at Hodgson Hall. This
occasion will be rendered extremely inter
esting and entertaining to those of our citi-
zens, ladies and gentlemen, who feel an
interest in the approaching centennial Of
CORVALLIS surrender, as lecture on "The
Traditions and "reminiscences of Yorktown
and the Siegei will be delivered by Mr..
VIM. s. Bogart. We understand It is the
purpose of Mr.. Bogart not so much to give
an account OF the siege as to interest and
instruct his auditors in the story of York
town and its associations. Very many
people think of this battle plain as they do
of Camden or of Cowpens. and either for
get or do not know that Yorktown would
be memorable spot, bad the bloody scenes
OF war never occurred there. To tell the
interesting story of that remarkable old
village, and of the peninsula containing 1t,
and to gather the lesson of its victorious
siege, will rather be Mr.. Bogart's object
and in listening to his graphic account we
are sure our people will be pleased.
We bespeak, therefore, for him arge at
tendance, and if his lecture be the means of
awakening in any sufficient interest to lead
them to visit next fall the interesting places
enclosed in the tiny area of one hundred
square miles, where both began and ended
British sway IN America, the lecturer will
not have written it in vain.
The Chatham Artillery, who are going to
Yorktown in October, will attend this meet
ing In body.
