.sarannah,, Makes a suggestion.


Editor Morning NelcS: In view of the re-
sponse to the appeal made for the sufferers
in the West not being in accordance with
what was done for Savannah in her dire
distress Of the past, | have suggestion
to make. l believe a handsome sum of
money could be raised by a benefit enter
tainment-One which would give unbound
ell pleasure, and in which many ladies
charitably disposed would join, and where
the younger branches could avail them
selves of glorious treat, and all lending
a helping hand aid in the great work
of charity, To orr Savannah Cadets:''
VIII they give a benefit drill per-
fOrmance? If so, would suggest at the
Theatre, and in which 1 have no doubt the
lessee will lend a helping hand. Will the
gallant Captain say the word? and if a
success is secured, all our wishes will be
gratified. BY this pleasurable amusement
we could swell the funds, and make pre-
sentable front from SAVANNAH

Promoting the Interests of the Queen
Civ

Promoting the Interests of the Queen
City,
The citizens Of Augusta propose to fOs=
ter the interests Of their Queen City by the
organization Of a commercial club
They have placed among its objects the
announcement of more intimate social
relations between its members, and the
promotion of an interchange of opinion
upon any and all matters affecting the
general welfare ana prosperity of the city.
They suggest that the club provide some
suitable place for the entertainment of
members and of visitors 10 the city. 1t is
the opinion Of the committee of OrganiZa-
ton that the club should be incorporated;
that they should rent or lease, with
the privilege of purchasing, suita-
BILE property: that an initiation fee of
$50 should be charged, to he paid at
once or in such installments as may be
decided. and-that the dues be So a month.
The committee indicate that the member
ship fee may be expended for the pur-
chaes OF suitable furniture. and that the
other sums can be used in payment of the
current expenses of the club. The report
is signed by leading citizens. A number
Of prominent and influential Men have in
dictated their desire to become members of
the club and to contribute TO its Organiza-
ton. 1t is thought that the movement
will meet with full success. A similar
institution in Savannah would no doubt
promote the interests of the city in meas
urable degree.

Violating the City Ordinaaess-An Evil
that Shouid be Remedien.

The continued violation of city Ordi-
nances without regard 10 penalties, has
necessltated the direction of public at
tention to certain provisions that will, in
the future, be enforced without distinc-
ton. Among the ordinances most
commonly violated, are those
prohibiting distractions of streets
and sidewalks; the sweeping
and cleaning of sidewalks and passage
ways; the prohibiting Of garbage accumu-
latiOns in the streets and lanes, Especial
attention is directed to the ordinance re-
quiring the occupants of houses to
keep within their enclosures bar
rel or box in which garbage
and rubbish may be deposited for the scaY-
enger. A compliance with, this Ordi.
nance is almost an impOssibility, owing to
the removal of the boxes by unauthorized
parties, and unless strict orders are given
to arrest boys for stealing them the Ordi-
nance must prove dead letter.
As soon as a barrel is placed
near the street and in any way accessible
a class of lawless lads are ready to empty
the garbage on the ground and carry off
the barrel or box, or whatever il may be.
and offer il for sale. This outrage has
been going on for a number OF years with
out any effort to prevent it. The matter
has proved more than an annoyance and
some action should he taken to put stop
TO il at once,

Hope for Suffering WOman.-SOme.
thing New Under the Sun.

BY reason OF her peculiar relations, and her
peculiar ailments. woman has been compelled
to suffer, not only her own ills, but those aris-
ing from the want of knowledge, or of con-
sideration on the part of those with whom she
stands connected in the social organization.
The frequent and distressing irregularities
peculiar to her sex have thus been aggravated
to a degree which no language can express.
In the mansions OF the rich and the howell of
the poor alike, woman has been the patient
victim OF ills unknown to man, and which
none but she could endure-and without q

has come. She need not suffer longer, when she

The Bad and Worthless

are never initiated or cOaRterteited. This
is especially true of a family medicine,
and it is positive proof that the remedy
initiated is of the highest value. As soon
as it had been tested and proved by the
whole world that Hop Bitters was the
purest, best and most valuable family
medicine on earth, many limitations sprung
up and began to steal the notices in which
the press and people Of the country had
expressed the merits of II. B., and in every
way trying to induce suffering in
valids to use their stuff instead, expect
ing to make money on the credit and good
name Of III. B. Many others started nos
trums put up in similar style TO II. B.,
with variously devised names in which
the word Hop" or Shops" were used in
a way to induce people to believe they
We're the same as Hop Bitters. All such
pretended remedies or cures, no matter
what their style or name is, and especially
those with the word "HOp" or ''Hops" in
their name or in any way connected with
them or their name, are limitations or
counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch
none of them. Use nothing but genuine
Hop Bitters, with bunch or cluster Of
green Hops on the white label. Trust
nothing else. Druggists and dealers are
warned against dealing in limitations or
oOunterfeits.
