4 gentleman who has made the matter
of dress a study finds a big difference he
tween cities I'm respect to color. Atlanta
has a penchaht for the cardinal hues,
Augusta the darker hues Ofblue and green,
nj fra
marine, and Columbus inclines TO the
light tints. while Macon is duller than
any There's hardly any danger of a mass
meeting being held on the Subject.--Hd-
con Telegraph and Messenger.
We had pleasant visit a day or two
ago from Colonel Gentry, the famous
soliciting agent of the Savannah MORNING
NEWS. \ year or two ago he changed
his agency from the NEWS to the Macon
TeleGrdpH, but he had been so long in the

mornings i'm Ashley river, off ChisOlm's
Mill. during the sudden gust of Tuesday
night, January 9, so that Smith was at
sea Just one week. His thinking it three
weeks Is not to be wondered at"
The editor Ofthe BellefOntaine, o., RepUb-
Hcdn, i'm his account of his trip South, has
this to say about Savannah: Every few of
the streets are paved, and there seems to
be no system of sewerage or drainage;
the water that falls from the heavens
standing on the surface till it is drunk up
bv the sandy soil" OureditOrial friend is
quite in ignorance on this latter point.
Savannah has a perfect system of sewer
age and drainage, constructed at vast cost.

closer observation. We make the cOrrec-

condition of our city.
