of Iessening incompetence.
quite a large audience assembled in
Trinity Methodist Church on Telfair Place
last night at o'clock to hear the address
Of Mrs Hannah Whitall Smith on the
subject Of temperance. The lady was
introduced to the audience by Rev. T. T.
Christian, pastor Of the church, in few
remarks appropriate to the occasion, and
proceeded to give her auditors a very
practical lecture upon the evils Of intem-
perance. She illustrated the theme
by calling the attention of
her listeners to the results
Of the indulgence in Intoxicating bev-
erages by different classes of people and
suggested that the only way to limit the
indulgence was by limiting the sale OF all
liquors. The speaker was at times quite
eloquent. and her remarks produced a
marked impression on all who were pres
ent. During the afternoon Mrs. Smith
delivered an address upon the same sub
ject to the ladies. She is accompanied on
her visit South by Mrs. Anna Lowe Dick

Has so badly damaged the high price
clothing system in Savannah and Charles
ton that we are far from being the best
beloved among our competitors. We are
only irving to please our patrons, and
they we know don't care how we get our
goods whether we pay for them or not
as long as we save them three to five
dollars on a suit; but our goods are paid
for before they are offered for sale; that IS
one of the great secrets that we can afford
to sell as cheap as we do. Another secret
Of our success is that we manufacture
our own goods, and that we are satisfied
with a small profit; and now to dispose of
the remainder Of our winter stock, we
are selling at manufacturers cost. Call
and get the best of clothing cheaper than
ever and be happy, at the Famous New
York Clothing House, 40 Congress street.
