ADVERTISING AT ONE CENT A
WORD FOR EACH INSERTION.

To enable the readers of the MORNING NEWS
to advertise at a mere nominal figure a rate
of ONE CENT A WORD was established
about eighteen months ago for advertisements
inserted in the Cheap Column This column
has been well patronzed and is now popular
feature of the paper. There are many people,
however who would avail themselves of the
advantages offered by advertising, but they do
not because they do not, or think they do not,
know how to write an advertisement. To
meet this difficulty the MORNING NEWS takes
this method of informing advertisers who de-
sire to use the Cheap Column that there are
clerks in the office from A. NJ. to 10 p. NJ.
who will write up advertisements in proper
form The Cheap Column is open to any I'M
Objectionable advertisement, thus giving bust
ness men, as well as the transient advertiser
the advantages of presenting their announce
ments to the public at a small cost.

BELIEFS OF ST. PAUL's DAY.

The Day on Which the Whole Year
Was Prognosticated in Olden Times
To-day is the festival of the conversion of
st. Paul, and it will be observed with
special services in Christ and St. Johns
Episcopal churches.
The day has also a celebrity of another
description, the origin of which has never
been discovered. 1t was an article Of con
slant belief in Western Europe during the
middle ages, and even down to within
Few years that the whole character Of the
coming year is prognosticated by the con
d1tlOn of the weather on this daY
and this IS the more singular as the day
itself was one of those to which the old
Egypt an prognoSticators gave the char
acter of a dies EggptidcitS or unlucky day.
The special knowledge of the future, which
IT was believed might be derived from il.
was arranged under four heads in four
Latin verses, which are found very
frequently in the manuscripts of the middle
ages.
Fair weather on st. Paul's daY betided a
prosperous year; rain betolened dear year
and therefore an untrutful one: clouds
1oreboded great mortality among cattle
and winds were forerunners of war.
Other days in January enjoyed at differ
ent times and in different places a similar
reputation among old prognosticators, but
none of them were anything like so gen
orally held and believed in rs the day of the
conversion of st. Paul

ROBERT BURNS BIRTHDAY.
St. Andrews Society to Celebrate the
Anniversary of the Scottish Bard.

St. Andrews Society to Celebrate the
Anniversary of the Scottish Bard.
Robert Burns birthday is very little ob
served in this part of the country. In some
localities it is very generally celebrated.
The only observance in Savannah will be
by the st. Andrews Society, which, in ac-
cordance with its usual custom, will meet
tonight and pay tribute to the memory of
the great poet.
The anniversary is the 129th of Burns
birthday. The poet first saw light in a
little cottage by the roadside near the bridge
of Doom, two miles from Ayr. 4 wonder
full destiny was then begun, and life of
toll, imprudence and poverty, TO be closed
by an early death, but which was to be FOL
lowed by an afiiatus of popular admira-
ton and sympathy such as never
before or since attended lit
erary name in any country. The strains
of Burns touch all hearts. He put words
together as scarcely any writer ever did be-
fore him.
The poet once said, when Just emerging
from obscuiity, that his birthday would
once be noted among others of the worlds
great events.
1t is an affecting circumstance that Burns
dying i'll poverty and unable to pay his
doctor, asked his acceptance of his pistols
as a memorial of their friendship. Dr.
MAXWELL who proved a friend 20
the bards widow, kept tie weapons
until his death, after which they
were kept some years by his sister. On her
death they were presented to the Society of
-Antiquaries of Scotland, In whose museum
they are now preserved in an elegant Golfer,

was "A sort Of Jack-in-the-box arrangement.
A Dagoish-looking individual turned a
crank at one end of a long box, and one
after another a head bobbcd up in sight,
and q voice eSsayed to sing--but what the
audience couldn't make out. a monkey
with a red coat and tin cup were about all
there was lacking to make the concern a
go"
After the Music Box interlude, Mrs. Fl.
I. Moore and Miss jamie Gustin sang
Would That My Love-" a very pretty duet
and admirably sung. Prot. Schultze fol
lowed with a violin solo, which was Ell
Enthusiastically appauded.
Miss Maze Richards solo, "Only Once
More" was the gem of the evening. Miss
Richards has a sweet, rich soprano voice,
and she sang with excellent effect. She was
enthusiastically applauded, and sang in
response Golden Love-
The entertainment closed with the shadow
picture, bridget Moloney on the Chinese
question: in which Mr.. H. r. Moore
figured as Bridget and Lee Wylly as the

We have been so busy with our holiday
trade that we haye quite neglected our

they differ from most Officiating stoves, as
they have removable heating drum, and
the stove can be used for cooking purposes,
and will be useful both in summer and win
ter. Again, the prices are lower. We have
certificates from well-known citizens in
dorsing our little 81 Stove as sufficient to
heat bath room comfortably. Our So IS

WORKING UP THE STATE FAIR.
President Northen Trying to Induce

President Northen Trying to Induce
the Railroads to be More Liberal.
Hon. w j. Northen, of Sparta, President
of the Georgia State Agricultural Society,
was in Savannah yesterday.
The object of President Northens visit
here was TO interest the railroad authorities
in the success of the next State Fair, and
on the ground of mutual benefit. to secure
favorS from the railroads somewhat larger
I an have heretofore been extended. For
instance, the free transportation of indi-
vidual exhibits IL good thing, is kept away
from these annual State exhibits, because
the individual owning or producing them is
not able TO bear the expense of carrying
them to Macon. The railroads have been
literal in carrying county or city exhibits
and will doubtless extend their liberality
furCher. At least Mr. Northen has every
reason to think so from assurances that he
has received.
The last State fair held at Macon was the
first one held i'll a number of years that has
paid expenses. All the returns are not yet
in, but it is safe to say that there will be a
net profit of $1,000. This shows n crafty
ing impetus in the fairs especially as the
fair week was a rainy one.
The next session of the Georgia State
Agricultural Society will be held at Way
cross Feb. II, and a large attendance is
already assured
In abiding to the society and its fairs, an
opportunity is given to say that the success
of the last fair and the present encouraging
condition of the society is largely due to
President Northen's activity Ii is proba
bile that after the February meeting
arrangements will be perfected that will
enable him to give more of his time to the
duties Of his Office Heretofore there has
been no emolument connected with the office
and previous Presidents were not able to
give enough of their time to insure success
