After the presentation Judge Russell
presented TO President O'Nell, OF the W a.
vers. the pictures of the veteran fremen
Of the city left to him at the disorganlza-
ton of the old OglethOrpe Fire Company
In his presentation he alluded TO the old
time history of the Savannah Fire De-
partment, and traced it up to the present
day. with its excellent organization and
effective apparatus. Chief Engineer But
Ter appeared in the hall, and was called
upon. He responded very happily, and
was followed by eX-Chief Roberts ana
Others.
The banquet was most thoroughly
ENJOYABLE affair. and its success,
and that of the entire celebration
of the Waivers, is due IN great
measure to the indefatigable efforts
Of Engineer W. B. Puder, Chairman OF
the Committee of Arrangements.
One of the pleasurable events was the
banquet given in Firemen's Hall, by
the BartOws to the visiting firemen
from Darien. The hall was handsomely
decorated with bunting and with inscrip-
tiOns of welcome to the visitors. and long
tables loaded with substantials and deli
cacies tempted the appetite even OF the
mOstfastidiOus. Speeches were made by
Mayor Lester. Hon. Peter Meldrim. Mr..
Il. W. Grubb, of Darien. and others. The
festivities were concluded shortly after II
O'Clock. when the visitors were escorted
TO the steamer David Clark. which left
her wharf for Darien shortly after mid
night. The Darien firemen made most
excellent impression upon our people by
their fine appearance both on and of pa
rade. and they left Savannah carrying the
best wishes Of the many friends they had
made.
Mr.. r. W. Grub. who is Vice Presi-
dent of Darien's pet institution, the "Ru-
fus f. Lester" as we'll as editor OF the
Timber Gazette, the official organ OF that
thriving city, is enthusiastic over the hos
FATALITIES extended TO the Darien Com
panv during their stay in our city. He
desires the MORNING News to return his
thanks in behalf of the "I4esters" for the
uniform kindness and courtesy extended
to them on every hand from the time they
landed in the city until their departure.
He would have written a farewell
address. but as this was the first
time he had ever undertook TO run with
a machine" in order to do the Occa-
siOn Justice, he had to devote his entire
time to the duties of his new office. He
promised. however. when he returns TO
his sanctum to put on record the sentl-
ments Of the Darien boys on this memo
rable occasion.
The entire programme OF the day was
successfully carried out, and the eighth
anniversary of the Savannah Fire Depart
ment has passed into history.

A dress is to be exhibited in London,
embroidered with fine wire thread, so ar
ranged as to form myriads Of tiny mean

Quoting wires terminating i'm the heels of

attention until the wearer places her heel
upon one Of the small buttons in the floor,

April -, 1888: "Ihaye been terribly af-
fiicted for a number of years with gravel
and kidney disease. My urine contained
brick-dust deposits, and at times l could
not pass my water except in drops and
with great pain; and have had to get up
as many as fifteen times during the night.
| tried several physicians; they did me no
good, but a friend of mine, who had used
Hunts Remedy told me to get bot
tie and try it. He had been cured of Sc
we're case similar to mine, and
that others had used Hunts Rem
edy i'm Cambridge and pronounced
it medicine of real merit. After
being repeatedly urged | purchased a
bottle, and before | had used all of it |
passed a stone as large as pea, followed
by smaller ones. have used in all ten
bottles, and it has completely cured me-.
My kidneys are in excellent condition,
and for one of my age (6S) siXty-eight
years, can truly say | feel like a young
man with strength and vitality. My fam
lily use the Remedy, and would not be
without it, and never fail to recommend
it to our friends and neighbOrs in Cam
