TRUCK FARMERS BLUE.
Not More Than Half Crop Likely to
Be Gathered.

The freshet has been doing great damage
TO the truck farmers around Savannah, and
the heavy rainfall on Tuesday was heavy
blow TO them. The farmers will not realize
more than half crop of beans and potatoes,
which are the only crops about to be gath
cred The bean crop prior TO the rains was
hatteriug and the farmers calculated ship
ping at least rs, 900 crates. Th crop would
have been ready to gather about Oct. l.
From 81 50 to 81 per crate is usually real
lied.
The potato crop, both sweet and Irish, has
been cut off, and not more than half crop
will be gathered. These are not shipped
north, but to the interior of the state, and
retail from 80 to So 80 per barrel. The
continued wet weather, the farmers say,
has started the potato vines growing at the
expense of the potato, and they look for
potatoes to rot before the water goes down.
A MORNING NEWS reporter was shown
yesterday small field planted in beans,
owned by Mr.. j a. johnson, in the south
western portion of the city. 1t was almost
entirely covered with water, and the beans
had began to turn yellow on top, which in
dicated that they were dying. Mr.. john
son said that he did not expect to gather
more than half crop, if that much.
The heavy rain Of Tuesday ma ie mat
ters great deal worse" he said, "and
am unable to say when l will begin gather
ing beans for shipment. Until the volume
of water recedes will be unable to do any
thing"
Savannah shippers generally begin to
place beans at the north about Oct. l, but
1t is doubtful whether they will do SO this
season. Beans ought to be shipped just
before they are matured, aud if the wet
weather should continue they will rot, or
else get too hard to ship.
Beets and cabbage plants are suffering
from the wet spell. The farmers have just
finished transplanting for the January crop,
but they are being seriously damaged by
the freshet. There are about twenty exten-
sive truck farmers around Savannah, be-
sides a number of smaller farmers, and
nearly III have suffered alike.

Deep Sea Wonders.

These exist in thousands of forms, but
rarely does one hear that pianos are num-
bered among these curios. Yet, surprising
as this may be, yet more surprising is it to
learn that piano once adorning the parlor
of Neptune should be reclaimed in such con-
dition as to make it possible to put it 10
further use as a musical instrument. About
eight years ago a Mathushek Piano, shipped
by the l.. s. B. S. M. H. to Fernandina,
Fla, went down and remained several
weeks at the bottom of the ocean. 1t was
raised, returned to Savannah, and found
''solid as a rock" and has been out on rent
almost constantly ever since 1t has been
subjected to the hardest usage imaginable
while ON rent, but, Notwithstanding all this,
is still a good piano.
Is this not proof sufficient as to its dura-
bility9 The Luddep 81 Bates 8. NJ. II. are

THE FEAST OF TABERNACLEs.
Commemorating the Journeying OF tn
IsraeIites in the Wilderness,

Commemorating the Journeying OF the
Israelites in the Wilderness.
The fifteenth day of Tishri began at sun
set yesterday, and will be observed for a
week, the first and last days being days of
solemn assembly. The festival commemo-
rates the jOurneyings of the Israelites in
the wilderness, where they dwelt in tempo
rary booths. In thoss cities where it is
convenient it is the custom of every Jewish
family to dwell in these structures during
the festival They are constr ucted of the
boughs of odoriferous trees, the roofs hav-
ing apertures large enough 10 admit the
rays of the sun and moon, and the interior
is tastefully decorated with fruits and flow
ers. There, after divine service, the family
assemble, and after invoking a blessing
upon the fruit and boughs, fixed by the or
dinance, enjoy their daily meals, and at the
close of which the formula of grace is Of
fered by the head of the household.
1t was the annual Harvest Home,r a
season when all were to rejoice over the
bounties of the year, and in order that
every one should share alike in the festivi-
ties of the occasion, it was commanded to
be day when the poor and needy were to
partake of the blessings Of their weather
brethren.
The products of nature bound together,
and used in the service, the branch of palm,
bough of myrtle and willow Of the brook,
together with the fruit of the highly
favored citron, are an important cere-
monial in the synagogue aud tabernacle.
They resemble in shape respectively very
closely the body, eye, lip and heart of man,
and are intended TO teach the solemn lesson
that ali these organs are to be sincerely de-
voted to the service of the Most High.

NEW SUBSTITUTE FOR JUTH.
Cotton Men Kick Against Cotton Baled
with Plank.

Messrs Baldwin q Co. received yesterday
a bale of cotton shipped from Perry, Ga
1t was placed on exhibition in front of the
Cotton Exchange during the forenoon. The
peculiarly of the bale was its covering.
1t was covered with seven wide but heavy
pine boards, held together by five iron
bands or ties. A good deal of the bale was
exposed, and it certainly must have lost 2 4
per cent. in value while in transit ana
handling from wastage and dirt, the loss
probably being more than the cost Of jute
bagging enough to have covered it,
The bale was sent to pickery to be re-
packed and properly covered. The planks
in which it was inclosed weighed seven3S
pounds, and probably theintelligeut planter
in packing, thought that the bale would
pass the same as IA bale covered with jute
bagging, and that he would reap the bene-
fit in the additional weight, or If the gross
weight of the bale was sold as cotton, as is
usual This, however, did not work. as the
cotton men who viewed the bale did not
take kindly to it, and all were unanimous
in condemning the method OF packing.
Even tho draymen kicked against II. II
was with some diiiica ty hat the bale
was lift,,i on a dr&y, aS the no Jks would uot

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 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. In a word, we are now inclined
to give a very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added to our
stock III 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 a0iH sell Ueru
close to move some of it. This is G good
time to renew household articles Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods. For personal use or
adornment we offer line par excellence ct
Ladies' fine Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches, Chairs and
Charms, Gents Watches and Jeweiry, etc
All of these articles can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets brisker. Some

THE oGEECHEE RISING AGAIN.
The Ogeechee is two feet higher now than
it was last fall and 216 feet higher than 1t
was during the freshet and storm Of 1888.
1t has been on a standstIll since Sunday
night, with a prospect of rising again to-
that the banks on his plantation are all
right, but the Beech Tree plantation, which
is above him, was flooded on Sunday night,
and the waters jumped his freshet bank
against Beech Tree plantation last night,
flooding 500 acres in one night tortu-
nately, however, the rice was out of that
part Of the plantation which was Hooded:
The water mas now reached his second
freshet bank and is almost topping IL.
He thought last night that it is quite prop
able that the water will jump over the
second bank before this morning. In case
it does, there will be total loss of about
%. 900 bushels Of rice IN the shock.
Mr.. Moynelo was busy yesterday hauling
the rice out of the fields. He had about l25
hands at work the greater part OF the day,
but the rain prevented them from making

going to do, is a matter OF conjecture" he
said.
1t has been raining every day on the
Ogeechee, and ralned yesterday. The
planters can do but little work, the rice be-
ing in a wet condition. Mr. MOynelo says
that unless the weather changes and the
freshet subsidies there will yet be heavier
losses on the river. The freshet he does
not think will recede before tomorrow
