1 When city Of Savannah bonds touched
par day or two ago, investors saw an-
other evidence that the money market is
growing easier. Those citizens, too, who
noticed the quotations, felt that the credit
OF Savannah would receive an additional
Impetus. In about six years these bonds
have worked up from below 70 70 lUO. ne
city has but two issues OF bonds, per
cents. of 1879 and per cents. issued IN
1888. Both series run 80 years. The tirst
mature In 1909 and the others in 1913.
When the compromise was effected, and
tue old bond was EXCHANGED for the new
8 per cent, the city refused to redeem
bonds OF the south Atlantic and Gull rail-
road, which she had Endorsed.

City Of Savannah bonds have been con-
sidered a perfectly safe investment by
brokers for some time past, and about
fOur-ifths Of the bonds are owned by citi-
zens. The bestfeature Of the rise in value
is the steady growth. There has been no
boom, but a gu ct, regular movement,
which was the result Of legitimate deal
ing. AT the beginning of the present year
the bonds were quoted at So. The first
half Of the year they gained only ,,
and were quoted at 90 July [. Be
tween July and Nov. ! the bonds
rose to %, or a month. Fifteen days
ago they were quoted at 800, and on
Wednesday they touched 100 The city
has been buying some OF the securities,
and agents have taken a good many more
for estates, being considered good invest
ments for the latter because they have so
long yet to run.

came Mr. Officer. Instead OF applying
the locust at once he asked the drunk

he did not think it best to gather him

officer he considered himself fully as

This did not aggrayate the officer, but
he kept on advising him TO try his lev

answered he would not AS much as I'M
