The Best Time to Buv valuables

This is the dull season of the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes-but it doesn't go far. The purchasing
power of dollar now is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. Ia a word, we are now inclined
to give a very large dollars worth for 100
rents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added to our
stock il various ways, new ideas, new con-
ceits, new tricks and quips in jewelry, and
SO on We've got to keep up, YOU know,
with the strides of inventive aud artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we a9tU sell rerv
close to move some of it. This is q good
time to renew household articles Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware.
ornamental goods For personal use or
adornnent we offer line par ercetIence &C
Ladies' nle Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies Watches, Chains and
Charms, Gents Watches ana Jeweiry, etc
All of these articles can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets brisker. Some
body will get married next fall-buv the
presents you intend to give no1U. They
will keep, and you will save money.

TYBEE's NEW HOTEL.
The Stock Being Rapidly Taken Up
Plan of the Hotel.

Plan of the Hotel.
Alderman Herman Myers is meeting with
great success in his efforts to secure sub
scriptions to the stock for a hotel at Tybee,
and he expects to secure the entire amount
necessary within the next two weeks The
tract of land donated by the Tybee beach
company is $50 feet wide by 1000 deep, ex-
tending back to the creek to the westward.
Tho idea is to build the hotel
west of the railroad track The first floor
of the building will be of sufficient hight, SC
that the promenade will be above the rail
road track, and the descent to the beach
will be by broad flight of stairs. The plan
is an excellent one, and will give the hotel
an imposing appearance. The hotel is to
have $50 guests rooms, and will be provided
with steam elevators, electric lights and all
the modern improvements.
Mr.. Myers thinks that the contract will
be given out by Oct. l, ana the hotel will
be completed IN ample time for next years
business Such a hotel cannot fail TO
attract thousands of people to Tybee, ami
consequently to Savannah, and business
men will be greatly benefited by it. The
hotel will cost from $500 to 81, 900.
according to the amount contributed by our
people.

THE CITYS DRAINAGE.
improvements to Be Made in the Bilbo
Canal

! Aanal.
| Alderman Nell, chairman of the drain
| age committee of the city council, wai
asked yesterday what is being done about
/ the Bilbo canal drainage, the impression
/ having got abroad that the opening at the
mouth of the canal did not prevent flushing
! it with the tide. The alderman said that il
! such an impression is entertained by any
| one 1t Is a wrong one. The tioOd2ate works
well, ana trunkkeeper is stationed there
to see that with every outgoing ude the
canal emptles its sewage properly into the
river.
Alderman Nell says. however, that an
| improved system of sewerage is to be
adopted for the canal next season. The
Bolton street sewer is to be tapped at a
point about $50 feet west Of the mouth of
the sewer, and twenty-four inch thing IS
to be laid along the bernie bank of the
canal TO Lawton's bridge, a distance Of
about 1900 feet and equl-distant from the
river and the mouth of the Bolton street
sewer. This drain pipe system Of sewerage
Will obviate the use Of the present unsani-
tary and open canal for nearly a mile, the
canal for that distance then being storm
canal for carrying off surface drainage in
times of overflow.
At Lawton's bridge foodgates will be
located, and from thence to the mouth Of
the canal will be a receptacle for overfiOws,
which, with the falling tide, will pass out
and be carried to the sea.
The alderman was asked if he thought the
twenty-four inch drain would accommodate
the sewerage of the section drained, He
said that he thought there is no doubt Of
its diameter being ample for present needs,
as 1t is estimated that it will not be more
than two-thirds full. AS time goes
by and the demands upon it in
will be adopted, and be men
toned the plan as a feasible one; to
drain the city by closed sewer running to
Timber creek landing. This would be an
expensive system of house drainage but Al
derman Nell seems to think it a practical
one. Mr.. Nell said that the sanitary condi-
ton of the city is excellent, and Bilbo canal
Is being disinfected from time TO time, and
every precaution taken to preserve the san
itation Of the city.

EXPRESS RATES CUT DOWN.
The Southern Express Company
Adopts a New Bill Scheme.

Adopts New Bill Scheme.
A new order went into effect in the South
ern express company last week reducing
the rates ON merchandise and providing for
the billing of packages through to over
fifty different POINTS in the north east and
west, which previously required two or
three different bills of lading Boston,
Mass, for example, was not formerly a
billing point. A package from Savannah
there was billed to New York, the local rate
between these two cities added, and the
package was then turned over to and for
warded by another company BY the new
arrangement the package is billed through
to Boston. The old rate to Boston was
IS 80. 1t is now 81 Is. The Southern Ex-
press carries it to New York and the Adams
takes it on to Boston. The old rate to New
York was S4 30. 1t is now 81 The old
rate to Baltimore was So IS. the new rate is
S3. The old rate to Philadelphia was a 25
the new rate is So 80. The old rate to St
Louis was s. so. the new rate is "a Is. The
old rate to Cincinnati was 81 80, the new
rate is IS 75 The old rate to Louisville
was 81 so, the new rate is s. IS. The new
order not only gives lower rates but quicker
transportation, and the volume of business
is more than apt to increase 50 per cent. in
a very short time. Mr.. +. S. Cooper, South
ern Express agent here, said yesterday that
the new order affects small and large pack
ages alike. The men in tho office were
pleased with the new billing system.
