TO THE PUBLIC.
First-It is impossible for the General Com
mittee to canvass the city thoroughly for sub
scriptions to the Jasper Festival. Many citl-
zens have not been approached because time
has been so limited. Those who have not sub
scribed end who desire to do so, are requested
to send their subscriptions direct to Col Charles
H. Olmstead, Treasurer, by 2 p, NJ TUESDAY,
the 2lst inst.
Second-The committee earnestly appeal to
employers to do all in their power toward S.
curing a full parade Of the military commands
and civic societies on the 22d inst, and large
turnout for the trades display on the 23d inst
Third-The trades display will be very i'm
posing affair. and from the present outlook will
be of vast benefit to Savannah. It's probable
merchants and others who can put in floats or
who can otherwise take part therein, to make
preparations at once notify Herman Myers,
ESQ the Chairman, and enter the procession.
Nothing can advertise the business of Savannah
so well as this public demonstration attractlvely
made.
Fourth-The merchants are requested to close
their offices and places of business from 10
o'clock A. N. to O'Clock p. N. on the I'D inst,
so TO allow all clerks, employees and visiting
patrons TO witness the parade and other cere-
monies pertaining TO the occasion.
Fifth-The citizens are urgently requested to
decorate buildings on South Broad street, on
which the line forms, and along the line of
march, as well as along the line of drive of the
Presidential party, elsewhere announced

RECENT DEATHS.

Walter Blair, a native of
Ryegate and we'll known among the
older residents of Ryegate and Barnet,
died at his home in Oakland, Cal,
January IL, at the age of 81. When a
young man of % Mr.. Blair left his Yer
mont home, going Ground the horn !"
to California in search of fortune,
arriving there with 500 in his pocket.
He was at first engaged in general
farming, made wise Investments of his
savings and gradually became one of
the leading business men of Piedmont
and Oakland. He projected street
railways, built large hotel, owned a
large dairy ranch and at the time of
his death was reported to be worth
over a quarter of million. In 1862
he married Miss Phoebe Harvey of
Napa, Cal, and to the union were born
two daughters now grown to young
womanhood. His wife and two daugh-
ters survive him, and of his brothers
and sisters there remain Mrs. o. L.
Dennison, Mrs. Josephine Young and
William Blair of Oakland, Mrs. John
Mcclure and Matthew Blair of San
Francisco, and James and George Blair
of Sonora. His death came very sud-
denly and unexpectedly. The Oak
land Tribune describes him as "broad,
bluff and brawny, he strobe about the
streets as if toying with the weight of
years which had tinged his bushy hair
and whiskers with streaks of gray"

FRANCIS WELLS ACQUITTED.

The Jury Pronounce Him Not Guilty.
The East Burke arson case, the
State VS.. Francis Wells, came to an
end Saturday, the jury after being out
six hours bringing in verdict of not
guilty of the crime of burning John
Dashney's barns. The state practically
closed it's case Wednesday as reported
in the CaledOnian last week.
The chief witness put on by the de-
fence was the respondent, Francis
Wells, who accounted for himself dur
ing the evening of the fire thus :
Brought in the last of number of
loads of corn at $50 p. M; tied up
COWS; ate supper; fed COWS and horses f;
carried the corn into the barn !; husked
some scattering ears and entered house
for night while clock was striking
eight; wife called his attention to light
of dying fire at Dashney's, but he knew
nothing of what it was until next morn
ing; was and had been on friendly
terms with Dashney.-W. B. Guild tes-
tilted to friendly relations between the
two men.-Francis Fisher worked in
potatoe field with Wells few days be-
fore fire and himself made the tracks
which he thought the states witnesses
had measured.-T. FairbrOther testi-
fed as to Wells walking abilities.
The arguments took up about day,
II. G. Bates opening for the state, w.
P. Stafford and Lawyer Lamson fol-
lowing for the defendant, Attorney
Dunnett closing for the state. Judge
Taft charged the jury Saturday morn
ing and they went out at $50, return
ing with verdict of not guilty at $50,
a verdict that was loudly applauded
by the outsiders, but was too much for
the respondent, who is an old man OF
"a, and who was completely broken
down by his release from the uncom-
Portable position in which he has sc
long been.

The Largest Butter Story Yet.

iona. Adams of st. Johnsbury East
has COW, three quarters Jersey, from
which he has made since April l, 1887,
422 pounds of butter, sold $50 quarts
of milk, and used what milk and cream
his family of two persons needed.
The cows feed has been grass in sum
mer and hay in winter, with the addi-
ton of one quart of corn meal daily
when feed was short in summer and
two quarts of meal daily in winter
We are aware that this is n large story,
but we believe it to be true one
Nevertheless, if anyone sends larger
story it had better be accompanied by
the certificate of a notary public, as
we have some consideration for the
reputation of the Caledonian.
