nected with military organizations will
take part in doing the hOnors vi the occa-
sion but that the citizens generally will
do their part. There should be thorough
organization and entire harmony Of ac-
ton among those entrusted with the man
agement of the celebration in order that
II may not only surpass any celebration
ever before seen in Savannah, but also be
superior to anything OF the kind that has
ever yektaken place in a Southern city.
Would it not be wise, therefore, to be-
gin at once to think about forming a citl-
zsns' organization to assist the military
in preparing for the celebration and IN
entertaining visitors during that occa-
siony While the military may not need
help, it is doubtless desired, and will be
gladly accepted if offered. That it ought
to be offered there can be no doubt. or
course a very considerable amount of
money Will be required for the ceebra-
ton. The Chathams are now soliciting
subscriptions. The response ought to be
prompt and generous.

OF Nashville, were married this afternoon IL

Mather went to Memphis after a stormy scene

that absence might smooth matters. The ruse
failed, however, and he returned home de-

The Chathams' Celebration.

Savannah, in the past seven years, has
had two celebrations which attracted the
attention of the entire country, and which
will always have a prominent place in
her history. The first was the Jasper
Centennial, and the second the. Sesqui-
Centennial of the settlement OF Georgia.
Another, which promises to surpass
either OF these in magnitude, is rapidly
pproaching-namely, the centennial of
that ancient and honorable organization.
the Chatham Artillery.
1t is not claiming too much when II lie
asserted that in no city In the Union could
a military reunion be greater success
rhan IN this. Probably in no other city OF
it's population is there a stronger military
spirit. The city has long been noted for
its fine citizen soldiery. For many years,
during the early history Of the city, and
even in the memory Of a few persons
still living, large bodies OF Indians
lived Just to the south OF Savannah on the
other side Of the Altamaha, and 10 the west
Indian towns were scattered from where
the 0cmulgee empties into the Altamaha
to the banks of the Chattahoochse and the
Coosa and thence TO the Mississippi. To
the south was Florida with her Spanish
inhabitants, at that time the enemies of
the Anglo-Saxons.
The military spirit was a natural out
come OF the situation. Georgla's terri
tory for the first fifty years OF American
independence had to be defended by
arms. Savannah, also, was the debark-
ing point for soldiers going to
the Seminole wars. All these condi-
lions fostered the military spirit OF the
people, 10 say nothing OF the result OF
the war OF secession. In that great
struggle savannah sent her sons, not by
companies only, but also by regiments.
She furnished her quota OF infantry, artll-
lery and cavalry, and on every battle
field the devotion or her sons 10 the cause
in which they had enlisted was testified
tofn blood. The period OF war has been
succeeded by the period OF peace, and foes
have become friends. but the military
spirit il not dead. Il will not die as long
as there are gsllant pbns TO keep green the
memory Of brave sires.
AT the appfosvhtha celebration citizen
soldiers from tha, North. the West, the
East. and the south'will meet In Ssyan-
nah as brothers, soldiers OF a common
country, and all honoring one nAg.
Thousands OF the people will visit our
city during the weeks festivities, and It is

Cedar Key Gulf View: 1t is impossible
TO deny that there is state OF society IN
Cedar Key that is fast bringing our COM
munity into unpleasant nOtoriety. There
is a culpsble disregard of law, aud dis
position on the part OF certain persons
each to do what ne chooses, law or no
law. The law, for instance, against
carrying concealed weapons is constantly
violated, and only now and then is an
offender brought 10 punishment. The or
dinance against firing guns and pistols
within the corporate limits is frequently
violated. II is within our memory that
harmless, inolfensive female was shot on
the street by a stray bullet, fred without
any intention 10 do mischief. Only last
week the shooting of pistols around the
Suwannee Hotel was such as 10 drive the
inmates within the strong walls OF that
building for safety. And the lamenta ole
result of the too free use of pistols at the
speaking last Saturday night is still
fresh in The memory, and perhaps not yet
realized in its entirety.
Pendleton's visit TO Cedar Key and the
meeting at the City Hall last Saturday
night, was made the occasion ola most
unfortunate and perhaps fatal ARRAY.
During the speech made by MIR. Pendle-
ton difficulty sprung up between Maj.
" beelocK and W. W. Cottrell, in which
the former received several dangerous II
not fatal wounds. The most severe is a
pistol shot entering the chest In the right
armpit, after passing through the upper
arm and probably lodging in or near the
upper part OF the right lung. Another
entered in the right side OF the chest, and
ranging downward passed out near the
right hip bone, probably not entering the
cavity OF the chest. Still another passed
through the flesh OF the left hand on the
margin OF the palm, inflicting a slight
wound. The scene of the disturbance, as
described by eye-witnesses, has comic
as well as tragic aspect. In their haste
to escape from the ball the crowd poured
out Of the windows as bees from a hive,
aud took the near way to the street over
the Veranda railing and down the col.
umns, many jumping or falling from the
yeraEda TO the street below. There are
said TO have been several persons shoot.
ing at once, and II is marvel that with
such crowd only one person was hit
and by whose ball Is uncertain, though q
legal investigation may develop evidence
to fix the guilt wnere it belongs.
