Editor Morning Ne1gS; DEAR SIR
take pleasure in informing you that l
have returned from my trip to New York.
OF course, took in the big show at Wash
ingtOn and had hearty handshaAe with
with our Democratic President. The
show was the biggest thing that ever
took place in the history of our country,
and was the means of squirting me on to
getting up little show of a somewhat diff
ferent nature for the people of Savannah.
l think / have succeeded, and now
invite my customers and the public
generally to my store to witness it.
They will gaze with astonment at
the large and carried selection OF the
finest made Clothing euer placed ander
one root in this city; nothing shoddy, nor
cheap trash to fill the store up with, but
the choicest, net0eSt, nObbieSt and most Sc
lect patterns and styles. / will not quote
prices, nor say that my place is the cheap
est, etc, but merely say that have
treat for all regarding prices, and
extend an invitation to all, whether ready
to buy or merely to look around. My
usual large assortment of Hats and Gents
Furnishing Goods can't be surpassed.
Dear Mr.. Editor, you will place me I'M
der many obligations by informing the
public of these facts. Respectfully yours,

for further consideration of observing
Decoration day, one week from Wednes-

regular meeting. A circular has been re
ceived from John S. Kountz, of Toledo,
commander Of the G. A. R., stating that
the post request that the church bells be
tolled here while the procession is in mo-
ton. Commander Bowman made the
same suggestion at the last meeting, and
no doubt the request will be complied
with
