EAST SAVANNAH, GA, January 17.-EIiIOr
Mornissq NeaOs: We, the undersigned inhsbi-
tspts Of East Savannah, respectfully beg
leave to inform you aud the public generally
of the sad condition OF this place, caused
by large basins Of stagnant water In and
around this place. In 1877 the chain gang
made two trials 10 drain 1t of, but failed.
We made application last March to the
Drainage and County Commissioners,
but received no reply from either of
them. Had the Coast Line Railroad Com
pany made culvert so the water could go
toward the Horse Tavern, as 1t used to go,
1t would have proved blessing to us. We
now appeal to the Mayor Of Savannah, the
government of the State, and all friends OF
health, to deliver rs from this terrible
dilemma. We have had. and are yet having,
a great deal of sickness here, which we at
tribute to the fact OF so much standing
stagnant water arc und US from yeaF to year.
We pray earnestly from our hearts that this
appeal may be considered, and We shall con-
tinue TO pray.

Ho,c to Shake Hands.
From Nye's Boomerang


There are only two or three persons
now living who can successfully shake
hands. There is good deal of hand
shaking done through the country, es-
pecially at this season of the year, but
only very small per cent. of the shak-
ers and shakes know how to do it so as
to get the entire amount of exnileration
out of it. Some grab the hand of an ad
versary in quick, nervous manner that
scares the victim nearly to death, while
others slide the cold and clammy paw at
you so that you feel the same as when
