DIR. JOHN T. MCFARLAND DEAD.
He Passes Away at 1890 O'clock

He Passes Away at 1890 O'clock
Last Night-An Active Life Ended.
Dir. John T. Mcfarland died at his resi-
dence, No. It South Broad street, at 1890
o'clock last night. after lingering illness
from consumption. His death was not un-
expected Nearly two years ago he said to
friend that he could not live long. Two
weeks ago he was confined to his bed and
since then he had sunk rapidly He had 50
far fallen away that when he died his body
weighed little more than eighty pounds
DIR. Mcfarland was % years old He was
born in this city where be was educated
and during his long practice as physician
he held a high place in the public esteem.
His record as a soldier is an honorable one.
He entered the Confederate service as
Lieutenant in the Republican Blues, First
Volunteer Regiment of Georgia, and served
with that command when it first occu-
pied Fort Pulaski He was soon
after commissioned a Surgeon in the Con
federate States army, aud was assigned TO
duty at Fort Pulaski. When the fort was
taken he was among those who stood the
long seige which terminated in its lombard
ment and surrender.
DR.. Mcfarland was assidous in his
attention to his duties, not
only as a surgeon but as a soldier. With
other members of the garrison he was
taken North and kept in prison until
general exchange was effected. He con
tinued in the service until the last gun was
fired Upon his return TO Savannah he re-
sumed his professional practice, which at
once became very large. He continued his
practice until failing health compelled him
ito relinquish it.
He was elected Health Officer in 1880, and
held the office ever since up TO the time
of his death. He was Secretary of the San
itary Commission from its organization.
He was a volunteer on several occasions TO
distant cities afflicted with yellow fever,
and he never at any time hesitated when
called upon for any service either in the
line of his profession or as a citizen. He
was member of the Georgia Medical So
ciety, in the affairs of which he took deep
interest
DR.. Mcfarland was married seventeen
years ago to Miss Fannie Aldridge, of
Brooklyn, n. Y, who, with three children,
survive him. During his long and painful
illness the tender hand and watchful care of
his devoted wife made easier the pains of
the insidious disease that finally caused his
death. His funeral will take place to-
morrow.

We Were Badly Fooled.

good trade, We thought we would have

the best efforts of the signal service and the
Dakota blizzard factory lit has not come to
pass" We hadn't sold quite all of our
winter stock before this fact began to dawn
on us. Result, remaining Winter Suits,
Overcoats and Underwear, at prices that
will open your eyes. We are not romano
ing, we are positively, comparatively, and
Superiatively, in dead earnest. We must
get the goods OFF our hands. Those familiar
with the quality and workmanship of our
fine clothing, can appreciate the waiting
bargains. Those who are not will find It
profitable to drop in. We are desperately
anxious to sell, but shall be equally glad to
show our clothing and leave sales on the
merits of the goods and prices. We don't
want to carry over Overcoats in particular
There is not much change in Overcoat
styles at the best, what you want is fit,
quality and comfort. We can make it to
your interest to buy an Overcoat for next
winters use, note this. Our Undertaking
Department has been invaded by the cutter
and prices look as if they had been through
a sausage machine. Please bear in mind
that we are writing under the cold and pitt
less dictates of necessity, and are anxious
to do what we promise and more too. Every
dollars worth of clothing you buy of us
now is as much of wise investment as
State or national bonds. Look for the Big
Golden Arm. SIMON MITCHELL,

monds, watches, ETC., are added to this list
daily. The Overland Tea Company, of
San Francisco, CAL, have refitted the store
No. 11S Broughton street, between Bull and
Drayton streets, and in order to introduce
their goods this company put for thirty
days souvenirs in every can of tea and
coffee sold, such as solid gold, silver and
nickel watches, also genuine diamonds in
solid gold setting; also money and many
other articles of less value. Every can con-
tains souvenir. The Coffee, can and con-
tents weigh about three pounds; the Tea
can and contents about one and one-half
pounds. This expensive and novel way of
advertising will be discontinued after thirty
days. and these really choice goods will be
sold strictly on their merits, but with
out the souvenir OF course every
purchaser must not expect to get
diamond or watch. This company
claim that they have just as good a right to
give away watches, diamonds, or other
Jewelry and money, as their competitors
have to give away glassware, chromos, etc.

The Steamer Progress Disabled in a
Collision at Hudson Ferry.
The steamer Progress, due here from Au-
gusta Thursday afternoon didn't arrive
here until yesterday morning The delay
was caused by an accident just above Hud-
sons Ferry About 9 O'Clock Thursday
morning the steamer ran into a very thick
fog, and for a time the Captain was unable
TO see where he was going.
All at once the steamer struck an over
hanging tree. The port guy of the smoke
stacks was broken, causing both stacks to
fall. The starboard stack fell on deck,
crushing in a part of the rail, and rolling
across TO the, port side, where it struck the
mate, i. +. Daniels, and rolling over him,
cutting deep cash in the back of his neck
The port stack fell on the pilot house, but
did no serious damage.
The accident caused some DELAY, and the
steamer was compelled to lay over at Purys-
burg last night. Owing TO a la of venti-
lation and draught, the Captain was COM
PEELED to reserve his steam power for difficult
parts of the river, which made his progress
