The Best Time to Buy valuables.

THIS is the dull season of the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far us it
goes-but it doesn't gofar The purchasing
power OF dollar now is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. Iu word, we are now inclined
to give a very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
tie past few mouths we have added to our
stock IN 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 and artistic
excellence Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we will sell gerry
close to move some Of it. This is good
time to renew household articles. Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods For personal use or
adornment we offer line par epcellence Ct
Ladies' nne Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches, Chaius 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 fail-buy the
| presents you intend to give noto. They
will keep, and you will save money.

TO MANAGE EPIDEMICs.
Savannah Physicians Organize a Re
lief Association--its Objects.

Savannah Physicians Organize a Re-
lief Association-its Objects.
the Relief association, an auxiliary to
the endowment fund OF the Georgia medi-
cal society, was organized last night at the
meeting of physicians, held at the Office of
DIR. r. j. Num-.
The medical profession of Savannah has
for a number of years felt that it was the
proper custodian of the sanitation of the
city and county, as well as the proper au-
of an empidemic In furtherance of this
belief the endowment fund of the Georgia
medical society was created.
The association was founded over a wear
ago and fund was established The trust
embraces various objects, all having for
their ultimate aim the Improvement of
medical and sanitary education in Savan-
nah. BY means Of auxiliary associations
the profession expects these results TO tie OBJ
tanned. Under its auspices the relief asso-
citation has been organized, ty which an
epidemic, should one occur, could be man
aged by medical men, who. by virtue Of
t cir calling, are better able TO estimate the
wants OF the sick and the claims Of the poor
and uoedy as well as being enabled by their
familiarity wi h the subject TO point out
the need of sanitary improvement.
The object of the association is not only
TO aid In the suppression Of epidomics in
Savannah, but to apply the practical re-
suits to other places when required. In a
community like this, where most of the
medical men have had practical experience
with yellow fever, the association will,
doubtless, be of immense value to other To-
calities. Its objects are, first, TO diagnose
the disease when suspected; second, 70 ad-
wise, personally, as to the proper steps TO
H. ..f-, e.. ata
extend substantial aid TO carry out these
objects.
! For the present the relief association will
| be under the auspices Of the endowment
fund, which was organized last year by the
members of the Georgia Medical society.
