cense to several parties in our town to sell liquors to our people either in large or small quantities, and as every legitimate business in which men engage should be, (as we believe) properly advertised, so that those who..patronize may know what is expected to be accomplish. cd by their patronage, would there fore suggest the following as the most appropriate and correct ad- vertisement for the saloons, viz:
 NOTICE.
 "Friends and:neighbors you are hereby notified that we are in the business of making drunkards, paupers and beggars. We will furnish you with liquors that will excite you to riot, robbery and bloodshed. We will for small sum undertake, upon short notice and with the the greatest expedi- ton to prepare men for the poor house, the prison and the gallows We will warrant that our liuuo 9 will deprive some of life, many of reason, property and peace. We will cause the rising generation to grow up in ignorance, and prove nuisance to the nation. If anyono should ask what inducements we have to try to bring such misery upon our Aelghbors, our honest re. ply Is greenbscks. All cun see this is a profitable business. Some tenn perance men, and even some pro- fessing Christians give it their countenance, and beside we live in land of liberty, and are engaged in this business to shorten mems lives, and ruin their souls. So come one. come all. We pledge ourselves to do all we have herein promised. and further, for the an- noyance of good Christian people, we will agree to furnish on the sly on Sunday"
 Now Mir. Editor, if you could in- duce those interested in the liquor traffic in your town to keep this advertisement in our paper for twelve months, l think it would promote the intereet of your peo- pie greatly. If this should find place in your excellent paper, you may hear from me again.

The big dry goods merchants of Little Rock, have something to say to our readers this week. We can vouch for them as gentlemen of ip- tegrity, and when they say they mean to sell goods at big sacri- flee, in order to keep from moving them, they mean it. In removals, goods are. greatly damaged, hence their desire to sell Mir. Peden Blake, formerly of this place. who has charge of the gents furnishing department, is convorsant with all parts of their immense dry goods department, and will cheerfnlly fill any orders sent him or the house from this section. If you want anything in the dry goods line you will certainly miss a bar gain, if you don't confer with Peden Blake, at Qninn X Gray's.

OIL ON THE WATERS.
Tales Told by Sea Captains Of It's Won.
dsrful Effects.

Tales Told by Sea Captains Of It's Won
derfuI Effects,
The United States Photographic Office
has compiled the accounts received by
that Office during the year 1885 Of the use
OF oil to lessen the dangerous effect of
heavy seas during gales. The Office has
received the testimony Of many sea cap
tains to the almost marvellous effects OF
the oil. Many of them claim that their
ships and crews have been saved from de-
structiOn by its use. "Experienee seems
to demonstrate" SAYS the report Of the
photographic office, THAT mineral oils are
not so effective for this purpose as vege-
table or animal oils, and the use of the first
named is not recommended. The evidence
received shows that the subject has com.
manded more consideration than ever be-
fore, and the policy of the photographic
office In disseminating the facts as widely
as possible has been fully justified"
The MORNING NEWS has reported
several instances during the recent gales
where oil was used with remarkable
effect. Capt. Jones, OF the British steam
ship Chicago, while rescuing the crew of
the brigantine Fedore, used oil with the
best results. 1t was blowing a heavy
gale, with very high seas. TIE Chicago
ran to windward of the FedOre. and, dur
ing lull, Oh udNluS Dsen poured on the
water, the port life-bOat was successfully
launched and started. A can of oil was
taken in the boat, and by using this the
seas were kept down in the immediate
vicinity, though they broke in masses of
foam a short distance away. AZ the boat
approached the Fedore the crew of that
vessel poured oil on the water, which so
Gained the sea that the boat got
alongside and rescued the ship
wrecked crew without sustaining any
injury. About half gallon OF paint-oil
was used by the boat during her trip.
" Among the many whose testimony is
given is p. H. Barrilt, a pilot at Port
Adelaide, who writes: "In 1854, when
on board the bark Cypress, from Port
land to London, we picked up the long
boat Of the ship Abberton, OF London,
Capt. Flemming. There were "A all told
in the boat for 1s days, no food nor water
left, and they were all but gone. They
attributed their safety to the fact that the
chief officer put a keg of oil in the boat
before leaving the ship, he having pre-
viously used 1t crossing Shields bar.
They had heavy gale after leaving the
ship, and one and ali stated that nothing
but the use OF oil saved them"

TALKING OVER TIE WIRES.
The Number OF People in Savannah
Who Use the Telephone.

The Number OF People in Savannah
Who Use the Telephone.
There are probably 1000 people in Sa-
Vannah who use the telephone once at
least, and frequently twice or more times
every day. The Savannah Telephone Ex-
change has now something over 300 sub
scribers. Manager Dillon said yesterday
that the demand for the service, il it in
creases at the present rate, will, in a short
time, necessitate enlargement Of the
exchange. A Rdmber of new features
have been aided since the management
passed into MIR. DillOn's hands.
Inc residence club lines
which are now being established, prom
Use 10 be popular and largely patron
lzed part Of the service. The rate for bust.
ness stations within radius Of one-halt
mile from the Central Office is SIS quar-
Ter, or $50 year. The rate for residence
stations within the same radius Is Sl2 90
quarter, or SAC a year. But where six
stations are located on one wire not over
one and a-half miles long, the rate is So %
a quarter, or $50 year, a reduction Of SIG
ayeAr from the regular residence rate.
This is what is called residence club
lner and Manager Dillon proposes to
MAKE 1t very valuable and Indispensable
pa1t of the service.
AT the greatly reduced cost at which it
rs offered, the service is within the reach
OF all ana will, doubtless, be largely estab-
lished. The advantages it offers are numer-
GUS and will be quickly recognized. Every
telephone that is added to the Exchange
increases the value Of the service. The
residence club lines have every facility
that the business stations possess. Be-
sides afiOrdIng means of communication
for business men between THEN offices and
residences, the Exchange has stations at
police and fFemen's headquarters, in
nearly every retail dry goods and grocery
store in the city, aud the service is pat
ronized largely by physicians, so that an
alarm Of fire may be sent to the depart
ments' headquarters, the police may be
summoned in case OF burglary, ladies
can order groceries and dry goods
without leaving their homes,
physicians may be summoned
In case of sickness, and, in fact, commu-
nication can be had almost Instantly with
any leading establishment in the city.
kilograms to be sent over the Western
Union Telegraph COmpany's lines will be
received by the chief operator at the tsle-
phone central office, and delivered at once
70 the telegraph company free Of charge.
Thisis also a new feature Of the service
established by Manager Dillon, and will
be appreciated by subscribers. Manager
Dillon proposes by extending its facilities
10 make the Savannah Telephone Ex-
change the leading exchange in the coun-
try. Upwards of dozen new subscribers
have been added since he assumed the
management two weeks ago, and the
service is being improved every day.
