A member of one of the largest
shoe firms in Boston is now in At
lanta, Georgia, arranging to move
their tannery and shoe factory to the
latter city. The establishm ent of
an eleomargarinc factory at Atlanta,
with its stock yards, &c, will result
in the killing of 200 to 400 beef cat
tie day, the hides of which will be
purchased by the Boston firm, who
have aseertained that they can pur-
chase an abundance of bark near At
lanta for tanning purposes. The
Boston manufacturer says Atlanta
possesses immense advantages over
Boston as q location for tannery
and shoe factory; that hides are
hauled from Texas to Boston, made
into shoes, and the shoes are hauled
back to Texas. BY buying the hides
in Atlanta and selling the shoes there
all freights are saved, besides, better
leather can be made of hides when
bought green than if they are delv-
cred at the tannery in a dry state.
The Boston manufacturer is now en-
ploying several hundred hands, all
of whom will be invited to remove to
Atlanta with their families. He says
large number of them will go, "as
there is general desire among them
to move South, where the climate is
better and living cheaper" This is
but another illustration of the manu-
featuring boom which seems to be
rapidly settling southward.-Bali-

1t is erroneous to suppose that il
you go West, a fortune surely awaits
you. 1t requires as much energy,
integrity and pluck to make for
tune in the West as it does in the
East, North, or South. Young man,
if you can't do anything here, YOU
are not likely to succeed anywhere.
All you need to make you respecta-
BILE and prosperous is steadfastness
of purpose and persistent industry.
Idlers and loafers succeed nowhere.
just bear that in mind when yon are
inclined to complain of your lack of
opportunities.

this week as candidate for County
Superintendent of Schools. All
doubts upon the subject of his can
didacy are at rest. Prof. Morgan
work speaks for itself He needs no

have about determined to unani-
mously re-elect him. They can't
well afford to do ANYTHING else.

The giant oil monopolies; the i'm
mense and profitable coal works; the
numerous salt wells; the railroads
and their vast shops and valuable
buildings are now subject to taxa

ncntly right, and will soon Tighten
the burden that has chiefly been
borne, heretofore, BY the rural com

The Country Newspaper.

The country papers are the most
thoroughly read. Every business
man takes and reads his own county
paper. He scans the advertisements,
for his own advertisement is, or
ought to be, displayed there.
The country paper interests all
classes, and is read by all classes.
The business man notices it, because.
beside the general and local news,
it contains the legal notices the tax,
sheriff and auction sales. And all
classes read it because it describes
the home life of the people in all their
pursuits Of business or pleasure, and
faithfully reports their opinions, feel
ings, sympathies and hopes, in joy
and in sorrow, in health and in
sickness, in life and in death. 1t is
the best and truest type of the pco-
pie who have made this country
great, and by whose toll great cities
live.
An advertisement in the home
paper challenges the attention of
the country business man with a
force it could not have in a foreign
paper. 1t is delicate compliment
to the town in which it is published
and to the business men in ia
public testimonial that the town
and it's business men are worth cul-
tivating.

Judge Walter @. Gresham, APP
pointed by the President to be Post
master General, was born in Harrison
county, Ind, in 1882. He was edu-
Gated in his native state, and after
his graduation at the Indiana State
University,in Bloomington, he studied
law, and soon alterward began prac-
tice at Corydon, the county seat of
Harrison county. He was from the
first successful as lawyer. Shortly
before the out break Of the late civil
war he was elected representative
in the state legislature, and in 1861
he was chairman of the house com
mittee on military affairs. While oc-
cupying this position he cooperated
SO skilfully and energetically with
Governor Morton in the organization
Of the state militia and in raising
and forwarding troops, that the lat
ter, on the 18th of September, 1861,
commissioned him as lieutenant
colonel of the thirty eight regiment Of
Indiana volunteers. He was breveted
major general for distinguished gal
lantry, and after January, 1864, he
commanded the fourth division Of
the seventeenth corps until July of
the same year, when he was wounded
in the action before Atlanta. Dur
ing the war General Gresham's per-
sonal relations with General Grant
were very friendly and cordial, and
when the latter became President for
the first time, in 1869, he appointed
Mr.. Gresham district judge for the
district of Indiana, This position
he still hollis

Rank Weeds.


Editor Morning NelCS: ! very often in
your excellent paper see accounts of the
valuable work done by the Sanitary Com
mittee, and the great benefit we have all
derived by the organization Of same, and
of which / kBOtc but little. There is i'm
every community sanitary work to be
done that should be promptly attended to.
This communication is to call the imme-
diate attention of the proper authorities
10 the condition of the Old Cemetery ON
South Broad street. 1t surprises me that
our police, who are daily examining the
yards and premises of citizens, and who
quickly complain if they have cause, can
sleep so quietly with such a field of rank
weeds Immediately under their noses as
there is in the Old Cemetery.
Citizens on the north side of South
Broad street at times cannot with any
comfort and satisfaction sit on their
stOops or parlOrs on account of the smell
of rank weeds that arises from the above
place. Now / think something ought to
be done to abate the nuisance. Let those
who remain at home and cannot 90 to the
mountains and springs enjoy the blessing
of our southern breeze without being con-
taminated with foul fragrance of rank
weeds. A SUBSCRIBER.

ARROW Died, of paralysis, in st. Mary S,
GA, March 81, 1888, Mrs. JANE ANN ARROW,
wife of Hon. j. NJ. Arrow, at the age OF AZ
years.
She has left us, but we have to submit to the
will of our Heavenly Father. She was to
those around her true friend, loving wife,
and kind mother; her whole aim in life was
to do good and never take a respondent view
of life: sympathetic herself, she highly APP
preciated sympathy from those she loved.
Her last words were those of kindness to the
afflicted ones around her bedside. The exam
pie she left is mark that will stand like the
rock of ages On the morning of the day she
died she repeated, in concert with her hus-
band and children. the Lords prayer We
shall always miss her. She cannot come to
us. but we can go to her if we are faithful.
She leaves a sorrowing husband and four
children to mourn her death. How pleasant
it il to think that when her dust returned to
earth, her spirit had already reached the
Heavenly shore, where the "wicked cease
from troubling, and the weary are at rest"
"Where. where is the arm that once pillowed
my head,
And the ear that once heard me complain?
Other hands may support me, gentle accents
may fall;
For the fond and the true are still mine:

But whose care can be as soothing as timer

The petitions of A. B. and f. p.

chief operator, were received yester-

RAILROAD RUMBLINGs.
Bright Flashes of Intelligence from Near
and

ana AIdEs
The Air Line Road to Columbus from
this city will soon break ground, and, IN
conjunction with this project, there are
rumOrs afioat relative to direct steam
ship line to Europe.
The immense traffic and commerce of
the port of Savannah demand new and
extensive outlets for her increasing and
growing trade, and sooner or later Will
these demands be complied with.
The tonnage for the State of Georgia,
according to the last census, was 1851
tons, with valuation of 81, 3S7 300, the
bulk Of which is operated and controlled
in this city.
These figures speak volumes, and point
to speedy growth OF Savannah as an
important and growing port OF entry
At Thursdays meeting of the Rate
Committee ofthe Southern Railway and
Steamship Association no general action
was taken as to Atlanta rates because OF
the action of the Executive Committee
the day previous. That action ordered a
compilation of statistics OF all the lines
leading to Atlanta, giving rates to points
where Atlanta meets the competition OF
other cities When these statistics are
complete there will be another meeting OF
the Executive Committee and the Rate
Committee to review and consider the
whole matter. At the meeting yesterday,
however, it was agreed to reduce present
rates on bagging and ties three cents from
Eastern cities to Atlanta. The new classl-
fcatiOn will be printed and ready for is
sue by September 1st.
About thirty thousand dollars have
been raised for the Athens and West
ern Railroad, and only small sum
more is needed to insure It's completion.
The grading will be begun soon. A BOs-
ton capitalist has made a proposition to
equip the road as soon as the cross-ties
are put down.
The East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-
gla Railroad will soon begin to use their
| passenger depot in East Rome.
The deeds for the right of way for the
ROwland's Bluff Railroad to Newnans-
ville Fla, have been filed in the clerks
! office.
What is known as the Vanderbilt sys-
TEN, when completed, will be the greatest
system i'm the world, and will reach the
most productive agricultural, manufac-
turing and commercial territories In this
country. 1t now consists of the New York
Central and Hudson River Railroad, $50
miles; Lake Shore, 800 miles, double
track; Canada Southern and Michigan
Central, 800 miles, double track; North
western, $500 miles; Nickel Plate, 800
miles, or a full $500 miles of double and
quaurupIe Ufdck, not W spedh Vi InOuS-
ands of miles of side tracks. In addition
TO his large interest in these roads, Mr..
Vanderbilt has blocks of Rock Island and
Burlington stocks.
At the railroad meeting at Statesboro
last Monday, after a few remarks, a
motion was offered and carried that the
meeting be deferred until the first Monday
in October, in order to give the various
committees more time to view routes and
decide definitely upon the most adyan-
tageOus route.

Beaufort Wants the Game.

Beaufort puts in a claim for the next
game between the DiXies and the Au-
eusta Browns. The NetrS of that place
says: lit having become known that the
deciding game of base ball between the
Dixie Club, of Savannah, and the Browns
of Augusta, would be played at some
point outside of either city, Mr.. J. III.
Clancy, the enterprising proprietor of
the Sea Island Hotel. with comm endable
spirit, wrote to the respective clubs sug.
costing that the game be played in Beau
fort. With his usual liberality, Mr.. Clan
cey offers to entertain the two mines al
his hotel free of all charge from the even
ing Of arrival until the morning after the
game. Should the proposition be favOrably
entertained by the ballists they will find
the trip very pleasant, and large num-
Der of visitors from Augusta and Savan-
nah may be expected"
