Some say yes, some say no-when 1t is
based on facts it carries a necessary
weight.
We have talked good deal lately to the
public, and we are now satisfied that it
has been OF great benefit to us and to our
patrons. We have made a great many
new customers and also have welcomed
a large number of old ones. All have been
greatly surprised at our prices and have
eagerly awaited themselves of the OppOr-
tunity to replenish their wardrObes at a
profitable saving. Since l have intro
duced my fashionable and well made
clothing the tailor shop has lost its
charms for a very large class of people,
and really the difference is no difference
at all, as by my system of having all of my
suits made according to special super
vision and instruction there can be no
possible chance of misfit or lack of
variety of shapes and patterns. l am
using every effort now to run down my
summer stock of Clothing, Hats, Furnish
ing Goods, ETC., before change of season
ensues, and price is no object. 159 Brough-

The Augusta Club to Tackle the SaNah-

The events Of the week in base ball cir
cles will be the games between the DiXies
and Clinches this afternoon and tO-mor-
row. The match between these clubs at
Augusta during the recent visit OF the
Dixies to that city, and the crack con-
tests they have engaged in, assuTes a close
game, The Chronicle, in announcing the
departure Of the club from Augusta, says
hey come under favorable auspices TO
carry back the pennant OF victory. The
club met on Tuesday and elected a mana
germ the person of Charley Stulh. The
direction Of the club during a match was
assigned to Fred Merritt. The appoint
ment o. these two gentlemen. it says, IS
cert .inly a wise selection, for if any one
can rush them along to victory Stub
and Merrst are the boys. They are both
SIRE and experienced players, and backed
by the strong team that they will carry, 1t
is expected that they will down the Sa-
yannahians. The nine will be Hamann
pitch, Merritt catch, Troy short stop,
Mccain first base, Stub second base,
Gardner third base and Basch, Hills and
Jones in the field. The soreness that has
troubled Hamann Cor the past week is
working out nicely and his arm will be in
good condition. MerrEt's hands have also
been somewhat bruised, but with the rest
of the past few days they are getting in
prime condition. McCana on first cannot
be improved upon, for he plays great
game and guards his position like a stone
wall. Mccain is also an expert pitcher
and will probably be used as relief IN
Savannah. Gardner is invincible on third,
and by many he is thought to be the
coming player and MascOtte of the Clinch.
Troy PLAYS short Tor all that IL is worth
and MANY of his brilliant stops have been
greatly admired. Charley Stub is recog.
nized as the old STANDBY player. foremost

The game will be called at 4 O'Clock.

The Prospects for an Average Crop
Not Above Fair-The Condition Of the
Plant In the Cotton Belt.
Since the publication Of the cotton re-
port to BradsTeets for last month there
has been a decided change in the
condition Of the crop. The last
report shows that the general pros
poets for an average crop are not
thought to be above fair. The progress Of
the crop since June q, has on the whole,
not been such as to raise the probability
OF a big growth. The improvement In the
Southwest has been great and continued
favorable weather may do much 10 make
up for a start that was not above fair, but
the possibilities are lesssned as each month
goes by. The next report will go far to
determine which way it is to vary from
the average. the condition of the crop
from June q to July 10, is shown in the
following summary:

The other day lady-and very pretty
one, tOo-who formerly resided in Evans
vile, Ind, and is now visiting friends in
that city, was walking down Main street,

was always making mistakes,
though OF course unintentlonally
As they walked along who should
come up but the old bachelor, who
shook hands warmly, gazed at her as adj
miringly as ever, and asked her how she
was, etc. Happening to notice the little
boy, he continued: "And who is this?''
'sThat is my little boy" replied the lady.
"Aha Bright little fellow; how old is

blushed and stammered, and finally re-

looked up the old fellow was gone. He

question and had slid out.

Superintendent EastOn, Of the Second
District Of the Southern Bell Telephone
Company, was il the city Saturday on q
visit Of inspection to the Savannah Elk

The company is perfectiRg its service
throughout the district by replacing the
old plants with new poles. wires and
office apparatus. In view Of the sanitary
regulations in Savannah 1t has
been impossible to go ahead
with the work here, and IN
consequence it has been deferred up 70
this time. While the service Of the eX'

the company 20 improve It even beyond
its present excellent condition.
