Cheaper Gas.

SAVANNAH, GA, January 2S.-EdtOr
Morning Meas 1t seems, Mr.. Editor. that
the Savannah Gas Light Company have be-
come aware Of the fact that it is possible to
make and sell gas at a rate cheaper than
they have hitherto been charging their con-
sumers They have advertised the fact that
con or before the first Of SEPTEMBER He1t'
they will sell gas as slow as any other COM
psny in Savannah" But is it not just a
little late for this announcement to be made,
siuce the formation Of another company !?
1t Is quite a creditable % act TO discover the
fact that they can sell cheaper under the
pressure Of competition, isn't it ? Why de-
lay so long. CITIZEN.

The Darien Timber GGzette relates the fol-
lowing:
"The largest crowd that we have ever
seen a. he Magnolia House assembled on
Thursday night last, to take part in the
rattle Of Joe Mansield's horse, which was
advertised last week. 1t reminded US of
the KimbaI House during a session OF the
Legislature or the meeting Of State con-
veniiOn. There we're one hundred chances
at 81 per chance. The highest number
thrown was by Mr.. C1ss. II. Hopkins, Jr ,
who threw 40 for Mr.. Lucien E. Davis, Of
Savannah. There we're three forties and
one fOriy-one throw. The rest Of the one
hundred chances thrown were below forty,
the average throw being thirty one. Mr..
Hopkins bought the last chance on the list,
giving the holder IS for it. The second to
the last was his Own, aud be refrained from
throwing. So the horse is the property Of
Lucien Davis, with Mr.. Hopkins holding an
interest. The matter will doubtless be
amicablY settled. The rsf1 was conducted
by the mansgers fairly and squarely, and,
We believe, to the satisfaction OF all those
interested. Bring in another horse

a CoIored WarTIor Aner Gore,

On Saturday night, about 1O:l5 o'clock,
there was some excitement on the street
near the Market, occasioned BY the conduct
Of a valiant colOred warrior By the name Of
q. W. West, who was thirsting for gore.
He had drawn his little barker and was
endeavoIing to perforate the corpus
OF colored brother, when
Policeman GrOgan ssuntered up
and grabbed the sanguinary warrior,
who without more ado was praDced of to
the barracks. It is likely that next month
Il. w. West will be found numbered among
the striped boys at Cuyler swamp.

conscious when seen in the water, aad
made no effort to save himself. Ryder was
about twenty one years OF age, and a native

In this practical age those who wish to
commemorate the holidays are on the look

nothing could be better for this purpose
than a handsome set Of parlor or bedroom

also enjoy the comforts which his gift may
bring to the household. If this be the
