a COUPLE OF INCIDENTS.

Showing a Chancs for Missionary Work.
Among the cOlored people il is not un-
common to meet with ideas that are to-
tally at variance with the ideas that are
prevalent in the communities Ia which
they live. For instance, some years ago
a gentleman had in his service a good old
cOiOfed woman VINO was very much re-
spected because Ct her character for IN
tegrity and tru~stwOFtainess. One even
ing she dressed herself with extraordinary
care. and intimated that she was going TO
attend a great reception. Thinking that
some Distinguished cOlOTed preacher had
arrived in the city, the gentleman In
Quired in whose honor tue reception was
given. The old aunty replied it was in
honor of Mr.. Samuel MerTyweather. sam
M~erryweather had THAT day returned from
the p~euitentiary, where he had served out
a sentence Of six years.
1t used to be the custom in this city to
turn cOlOred boys owe TO their parents to
be whipped when caught stealing. If
they were prosecuted and fined their pa
rents had to pay the fine, and they were
frequently not able to do that. On one
occasion a negro boy was turned over to
his mother for punishment. The officer
making the arrest stood by to see that the
whipping was done. As the old woman
warmed up 70 the work she berated the
boy for his shortcomings Il amt ia

as she stopped to take breath. The gen.
tleman demonstrated with her for making
such a statement, and told her that that
was bad teaching, but the old woman
stuck to her line of moral ethics, and
when she got through the boy was salts

FuneraI OF Rev. George Gibbons

The funeral Of Rev. George Gibbons
took place from the First African Baptist
Church yesterday forenoon, and was one
of the largest recently held in Savannah.
The colored people attended, it may be
said. By thousands. But one Of the COL
ored churches held morning service. The
church was densely packed, many were
unable to get inside the building,
and West Broad street, up which
the cOrtege was to pass. was lined
with spectators. A large number of col
ored ministers took part in the services.
Rev. J.. 5. Habersham, a member Of the
church, delivered the opening prayer.
Rev. Alexander Ellis read a passage OF
scripture, and the eulOgy was pronounced

sung By the congregation, and after a

THE THANKSGIVING TURKEY.
The King of the Thanksgiving Eeas
and How to Pick Him Out.


The King of the Thanksgiving Feast
and How to Pick Him Out.
Thanksgiving week has opened, and
with it that perennial visitOr-the turkey
has arrived, clad in his rich yellow
ulster of fat, massive Of chest, p~TOdigiOus
in drumsticks and laden with those gib-
letOry mOrsels that become him so well.
His ~phalanxes adorn the markets in
Whistleresque symphony, and his robust
form swings complacently from the green
grOeePs' ~meat-hOOks, as though he de-
lighted in his martyFdOm for the glorious
cause of thanksgiving for a good year and
bOuntiful crops, and considered himself
the patron saint of the feast. No grOvel-
ing geese or obese ducks can hope to vie
with him. No huge roast or pQrtly ham
can O~vershadow him. He has relgned and
will always preside in state at all Thanks
giving dinners. With a delicate tint Of
cracked brown, a savOry stuftlng of
onion. sage and oysters, and a garland of
artistic sausages, he is supreme.
There have been few turkeys in the
market up to this time, but the demand
during the neXt three days will bring
them in from every quarter. An eXpe-
| rienced caterer ranges the true Thanks
| giving turkey at from eight to tWenty-fOur
/ pounds in size. & little turkey, he says,
is not the best. 1t is usually an old hen
! and it's flesh will be found stringy and
tastelsss. The big gObbler of a year is
the most sought after. Old turkeys can
be told by the scaliness OF the skin around
the breast bone and the sineWy wings
and drumsticks. Always get a turkey
that is yellow and full around the breast
and has great fatty accumulatiOns about
the abdomen, inside and out. A dollar
and ahaIfOrtwO dollars willIbuy a beauty.
| The price now ranges, according to the size
and piumpnesg, from ten to fifteen cents
per pound, but nj pOulteTeI will refuse a
good bid in bulk for a particular fancy or
a customer. A huckster said to a NEWS
man, who was talking of the question,
that almost every hOusekeeper thought
she could pick out good fowls, but, to his
certain knowledge, very few of them
could. The near-sighted old lady who
pOked them in the breast with her inquisi-
tive fOrefinger and smelt under their
wings was the very one to be fooled. He
also said that 1t was almost impossible to
lay down any definite rules for picking
out a good turkey or telling whether it
was six months or six years old, even
when the head was left IN. He thought
the biggest turkeys were the best because
they were the latest, from laZiness, and
their muscles were not hard. The twenty
pound wild turkey has a more gamy
flavor, but for tender juiciness it does not
compare to the big barnyard gObbler.

obstacles the City Marshal Has to Con
tend with to Keep Them Passable.

Obstncles the City Marshal has TO Oon-
tend with to Keep Them Passable.
In many parts of the city the pavements
are in very bad condition and holes several
feet in diameter may be noticed in almost
every block. 1t is the duty Of the CITY
Marshal to supervise sidewalk repairs.
Capt. Goodwin was asked yesterday aoOut
the matter. He stated that the Asrsnals
| task in this connection was 2 Yery G!rl:
cult one. He has to q out IN q Arst
place what sidewalk needs repairing.
| Then he has to locate the Waro IN MhiSn
tbn - Is and get the number from the
man after which he must go to the Ireas
surerss ONCE and get the name or the
owner. The next move is the draw
;nr mn of a notice which must be
sa7vad upon the owner. The owner has
ten days in which to repSi. nc lot. In
order TO ascertain whether the repairs
have been made, the Marshal must re-
trace his steps. If the work has not been
done he must send a notice in to Council,
and hat body gives him instructions to
lave the work done at the property
owners expense, The AarshAl states
that when the owners do repair the side
walks they generally do it in such a slip
shOd manner that the place is either soon
as bad as before, or else the pavement is
soon broken in some other place. Very
few new sidewalks are being laid in
Savannah, although many new dwellings
are going up.
On July 5, 1871, the Council passed an
ordinance to suspend for n year all
| ordinances in force relative to sidewalks
+, the :"itv inside of the following line
From River street on the east side Of
East Broad street, thence to Habersham
and the east side OF HaDersam south o.
CASTOR to Tattnall, and west OF Tattnal
to Liberty, and west Of West Broad street
to River street. Since then but few new
sidewalks have been laid either within
these limits or elsewhere in the newly
built portion of the city.
Capt. Goodwin frankly admits that the
ordinance requiring sldewalkS has moi
been strictly enforced, because it would.
i'm many instances, be a burden upon tho
people, and property would frequently
have to be sold 10 pay for the sidewalk
The existing ordinance provides that new
sidewalks, if they conform to the regula
tiOns laid down, "a be accepted by the
city, and the owner of the property which
it fronts need not be responsible thereafter
