Meeting of the Georgia Association Last
Night-The Interstate League Move
ment and the First Match Game.
A meeting Of the new State Base
Ball Association of Georgia was held last
night and the organization perfected by
the election of the following omeers:
President-W. Palmer.
Secretary and Treasurer. A. Ryan.
All the CITY clubs were represented in
the meeting and lively interest is being
shown in the development Of the sport.
The Dixies, OglethOrpe and Georgia Clubs
are already organized and beginning prae-
tice. The Secretary of the ASSOCIATION
was authorized to proceed at once to ef-
feet a full organization throughout the
state and secure a representation from the
cities and towns in Northwest Georgia
which have heretofore been little interest
ed in base ball matters.
The movement for an interstate league
promises to be a success. Secretary Ryan
is in correspondence with Jacksonville,
Fernandina, Tallahassee, PENSACOLA,
Mobile Montgomery. Selma and number
of other cities with reference to member
ship, and there is a general desire TO orga-
niZe the league as quickly as possible.
jacksonville is especially interested in
the matter. and there is little doubt that
as soon as the matter is thoroughly under
stood the organization will be effected
with little difficulty and delay for the
summer season. Several nelghborlng
clubs are already IN practice, and 1t is
probable that the first championship
match will be played in Savannah about
| the first of May.
The Savannah clubs will be newly uni
| formed. The Dixies' colOrs will be white
and red. The Oglethorpes' and the Geor-
gias' will both be white and blue. From
the present indications the season will be
| a lively one. An unusual interest has
been shown in the games during the wiz
/ ter and early spring, and it is believed the
playing season will open with SHARP

In appealing to public confidence we
would lay special emphasis upon the fact
that we rely rather upon the sincerity of
our promises and the quality of our goods
than upon ''catchy" advertising for our
success. We never make statements in
print that we are not prepared to ''back
up with facts in the store, and the people
are fast learning that the expression,
'"only an adv ertisement," does not apply
to the ''FamOus" New York Clothing
House. We are old-fashioned in only one
thing, namely: a rigid adherence to down.

only to this plan we owe our permanent
success. Those who would like to see one

A STRANGE AND STARTLING DREAM


Is There a Spirit World?
A remarkable dream or preternatural
visitation recently occurred in Louisville,
Ky. Mr.. V. f. MOrera, a gentleman well
and favorably known about town, on re-
firing for the night, feeling unwell and
nervous, was very restless in his sleep,
but seemed to himself to be wide awake
and in full control of his senses. A vision
appeared in his dream showing him
large flaming number commanding him
to obtain it from the lottery and then van
ished. The dream was so startling as to
fully awaken him, and although one who
never believed in lotteries or upheld them,
vet try as he would he could not shake OFF
the vision or forget the numbers which
seemed to be burned in his brain. Final
~ he called at the Office of the Common
wealth Distribution Company, and pay
ing 81, asked for a ticket with the num-
bers of his dream on it. Fortunately the
number was unsold and his ticket given
him. The drawing was soon to come off,
and so nervous and excited had he become
that, although against his principles, he
determined to witness it, and strangely
enough, he saw his number drawn from
the wheel and the handsome prize of
$1,000 was his. Was this simply coin
cidenceg Who can tell? Next drawing
ing takes place in Louisville, KY, April
30th; 1000 prizes, amounting to $112, 400.

NAH, GA, March Goth. 1SS3.-At a special
meeting of this company, held this even
ing. the following preamble and resOlu-
tons were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, This company, on the Occa-
sion OF its recent visit to the city of At
lanta, to. participate with the military of
the State in paying the last sad tribute to
the memory Of our late hOnOred and ven-
cradle Commander-in-C Gov. A. II.
Stephens, We're, while in Atlanta and Ma
con, the recipients Ofmany cOurtesies and
faYors at the hands of their friends and
brothers in arms of other commands, and
being impressed with the kind attention
shown us, we, in gratitude, would avail
ourselves of the pleasant privilege of eX-
pressing our appreciation thereto; there
fore, be it
ReSOlred, That the warmest thanks Of
the Savannah Cadets are due and hereby
rendered to the Gate City Guard, of At
lanta, for the escort in Atlanta from the
depot on our arrival, and the use of their
armOry while in their city, and also for
the uniform kindness and courtesy eX-
tended us.
ReSOlred, That we will bear in long and
grateful remembrance the unexpected
capture of the Savannah sOldiery at Ma
con by the Floyd Rifles and Macon VOlun-
teers of that city while we were returning
home; we beg TO assure you, comrades,
that your generous hospitality at that
early hour was quite as unexpected as it
was appreciated and enjoyed.
ReSOired, That to Mr.. VI. +. AmOrOus,
of Atlanta, this company acknowledges
itself under special and lasting Obliga-
tiOns for his untiring energy and success
in adding to our comfort his unlimited
hospitality, and many other acts of kind
ness and attention, OF which we cannot
speak in too high praise. The kind treat
ment we received at his hands we could
never efface from our memory.
ReSOlred, That copy of these resOlu-
tiOns be furnished to the Gate City Guards,
the Floyd Rifles, the Macon Volunteers
and to AIr. n. +. AmOrOus, and that the
same be inscribed on the minutes of the

Mr.. AmOrOus appreciates the cOmpli-
ment very highly. He is we'll known to
the members of the company, and during
their stay in Atlanta the Cadets were en-
tertained by him at the Kimball House,
Constitution.
