and Rhode Island delegations;
Foreign consul dressed in flashing
uniforms; the president of the
Senate and Speaker of the House
of Representatives; the judges of
the Federal and State Courts; and
the city clergy. The central fig
ure on the stage was the presid-
ing officer, Gen. Henry r. Jack
son, seated in the historical
Oglethorpe chair. The interest
of the occasion was not suffered to
close with the day, but at night
brilliant pyrotechnic display was
had in the Park extension. The
fireworks for the occasion were
supplied by the citizens of Savan-
nah at cost of several thousand
dollars. / should estimate the
large crowd of interested specta-
I tors, who viewed with delight this
splendid exhibition, at not. less
than 10000 people. The display
OF rockets and bombs was especi-
ally fine, and the vast throng
would frequently express their
delight at the magnificent sight
by vociferous cheering. .es
The notable features of the second
days celebration were the Civic aud
Trades Procession. In the Civic
Procession were represented the Fire
department., and the various lodges,
societies, aud orders in Savannah. In
the Trade Procession the various III
dustries and branches of business in
the Forest City were illustrated The
display was most admirable, and
some of the fioais deserve particular
mention. among which l cannot re,
traim from enumerating those of the
q. X. X. and Ocean Steamship Co.
the S. F. and W. r. r. and the
Morning .&eacs. The Morning News
float was canopy handsomely festoon-
ed with flags, on top of which was a

The occupants were four young
employees of the Office impersonating
an editor, pressman and two ''deyils. "
The press was run by gearing at

George Griffin, an old citizen and
property owner of Aurora, Ind, says
that a dog belonging to him found its
way home from New Orleans, where it
had been taken on a latboat down the
Ohio and Mississippi rivers. The dis
tance from New Orleans to Cincinnati
is something over fifteen hundred miles
and this place is only twenty-five miles
below Cincinnati. Mr.. Griffin says
that the dog WAS a worthless animal,
and was taken on the fatboat with the
intention Of dropping 1t of somewhere
down the river to get rid Of 1t. The
dog was, however, kept aboard the
boat and taken to New Orleans. Here
he was turned adrift In the city. The
boats crew returned home together,
and as they had seen nothing Of the
dog for some days before leaving New
Orleans, they concluded they had lost
him.

assessed for the support OF their unfor-

Preparation for Crops.

Every farmer knows the Importance
of a thorough preparation of his lands
for his spring as well as fall crops, but
too many of US forget or neglect to
make the preparation to insure success,
and hence we have so many failures OIL
poor Improbable crops. Last year
was favorable season. This year is
not likely to be so favorable, and he
who prepares his land well and plants
in due time is more likely to succeed
than he who is careless in his prepara-
tons and planting, We notice quite a
number of our farmers are going to
plant more or less of Irish potatoes.
We have much faith in this crop as a
profitable and paying one if planted
well in due time and well cultivated.
But with most of us it is an experiment
and to succeed well we must be careful
to select suitable land and use good
seed, plant in time and cultivate prop.
erly. If we do this we will hardly
ever fail to make paying crop. We
should remember, too, that to make il
pay well we must not delay in getting
our potatoes ready for market early.
The earlier the potatoes are ready fol-
market the better prices they will com
mand. We must look to the north
and northwest for market, and tC
make it profitable we must ship before
their crop comes in. We must work
for three things A large crop, aquick

Col. NJ. T. Polk.

A gentleman who visited Col. Marsh
I. Polk yesterday, says he can scarcely
speak above a whisper, that he has not
eaten anything since last Tuesday and
that if continued to be confined in Jail
he would not live more than a month.
1t is thought that he cannot live more
than six months even if taken out of
Jail and afforded all the necessary COM
forts, so completely had his system
been depleted. 1t was also stated that
the stencil arising from the river into
his cell was insufferable, and that this
alone was enough to keep one sick.
The legislative committee, composed
of Messrs. Looney, Thomas and Daniel
were to have had an interview with
Col. Polk yesterday afternoon, but did
not do so on account of the absence of
Messrs. Looney and Thomas. The
committee, with Senator Daniels at its
head, will, tomorrow, have an inter-
view with Col. Polk at the Jail.
1t is understood that Col. Folks
bondsmen have agreed to settle Col.
