Railroad, stated to the Times Democrat
correspondent that negotiations were
pending for the sale of the 500, 900 worth
of certificates which he has been empow-

EaIBER DAYS.
Something About the Fasts Instituted
by Pope CaIixtus.

Something About the Fasts Instituted
by Pope CaIixtus.
To-day is the last Of the three days
known to some Of the Christian denOmi-
nations, particularly to EpiscOpalians
and Catholics, as ember days or periOdi-
cal fasts, originally instituted by Pope
Calixtus in the third century for the pur-
pose Of implOring the blessing Of Heaven
on the produce Of the earth, and also pre-
pairing the clergy for ordination in accOr-
dance with the practice Of the apostles as
mentioned in the 18th chapter of the
Acts. This year they are Wednesday.
Yesterday and to-day. In the year 1893
the Council of Placentia made the OBJ
servance Of three days regular as regards
the seasons by enactiBg that they should
be the first Wednesday, Friday and sat
urdaY following respectively the first
sunday in Lent, WhitsundaY, Hollywood
day. and st. Lucy's day. The term en-
her denotes a course or circuit, the days
recurring regularly at stated periods in
spring. summer, fall and winter. With
others the epithet is derived from the
practice of Sprinkling dust or embers on
the head in token of humiliation, and also
from the circumstance that at such sea-
sons il was only customary TO break the
fast BY partaking Of cakes baked on en-
bers. or ember bread. One of the canOus
Of the English church directs that the or
dinatiOn of cleTgymen by the Bishops
should take place on the respective sun
DAYS Immediately following the ember
days. Animal food is prohibited by the
Catholic church on all ember DAYS.

The Omce of Ordinary

Editor Morning NclrS: 1t has been
said (but am sure without investigation
or reflection that Hampton Ferrill is too
Young a man for the responsible position
of Ordinary Of Chatham county. The
writer was at one time Influenced by this
feeling: but CHANGING TO 20 into that
office on Yesterday he took occasion to
make some inquiries and look into things
with a view of satisfying himself as to
the fitness of this gentleman for
the office which he asks at
the hands Of the public. 1t was found,
first. that Mr.. Ferrill is BY no means a
boy, hut is 50 years old. Secondly, that he
knOy-s more about the law governing
most matters which pass through that
office than some lawyers in Savannah,
and more about the routine work of the
office than perhaps any one who could be
found. Thirdly, that tits the best arranged,
best systematized Office in Georgia,
State or Federal, and does both
the Ordinary and his Deputy,
Mr.. Russell, very great credit. Indeed
the penmanship to be found upon the
minutes of that court Will remain mOnu-
ment to the industry and skill Of Phil.
Russell when the slab upon his grave
shall have returned to Mother Earth. 1t
is simply wonderful. l am sure that the
public would be interested and enter
tsined by an investigation into the work
iugs Of this office; and, as Mr.. Ferrill is a
candidate for reelection, II is due to him
and the public that his fitness for the
position should, by all practicable means,
be determined. l..

Didn't 1t Though?

Our last advertisement brought us
numbers of purchasers all anxious for
bargains, and they got them too. We
told you that we meant just what we said
that we were going to sell clothing, and
we did it. The prices were ruinOus, it is
true, but then, in the face of new
season, we couldn't hold the goods, and
no respectable offer was let pass.
We have still lett a few of those stylish
ly made Gents and Youths suits that
must be closed out, and if you appreciate
bargains now is the opportunity to enjoy
them. Nothing is misrepresented. No
''baits' or "decOy' offers. We expect
to make a permanent customer of every
caller, and to do that we propose to send
those who do not know us away with an
impression that will bring them back
again.
We would rather let our goods lay on
our shelves and counters unsOld than to
have anyone think that they had been ill
treated or deceived. We propose to pur-
sue our original course, viz: Good
Clothing, made to fit, at the lowest posi-
bic prices. Sign of the GOLDEN ARM, 159
