Ladies' Footwear.

This weeks advertisement is specially de-
voted TO the gentler sex, and we have de-
cided to mark our goods still lower, so they
may be in reach of all.
We pride ourselves on the particular fine
fitting qualities of our Shoes, which we
claim is surpassed by none and equaled by
few. Nothing looks so bad as an Ill-fitting
Shoe, and nothing is prettier than a foot en-
cased in a mould-like form. Some think
that to get perfect fit it is necessary to
buy an expensive article in the shoe line;
this is a grievous error, for we not only
guarantee a fit, but can fit you just as per-
fectly in 81 50 or So Shoe, as you can buy
in any store for s. or Sc. Our Ladies me-
dunn grade Shoes have as fine workmen
employed lasting them as are usually put
on the very finest Shoes; consequently, by
baying our popular grades you can get
equally as well-made and fitted Shoe from
us as any other store can give you for
double the price.
We are still giving away Bank Of Can
dy to the purchasers of Childrens Shoes.

AT THE POINT OF A GUN.
A Guyton Lumber Man Who is Bound
to Keep Things Moving.

A Guyton Lumber Man Who is Bound
to Keep Things Moving.
For the last six months there has been
trouble at Guyton with parties owning lots
in the village. Mr. A. Bird, who is engaged
in the lumber business, about three miles
from the Central road, has been
hauling his lumber to the depot by way of
a tram-road running through the lots owned
by citizens who have recently built houses.
The tram-road has been a great annoyance,
and the property owners have resolved to
put a stop to it. The owner of the road
refused to remove it and thus the trouble
commenced.
Several of the property owners erected
fences on their land, across the road, and
threatened to shoot any one who attempted
to remove them. Mr.. Bird instructed
his men to remove any instructions
they might find on his road and as soon as
his drivers came to the fence they attempted
to carry out their employers orders. They
had to abandon their work, however, at the
point of a gun. Two parties were arrested
for obstructing the road, but they gave
bond to keep the peace Both parties have
engaged counsel and a lively legal fight is
expected. Wednesday night three gentle
men from Savannah living at Guyton,
started out for lark and attempted to OBJ
struct the road. While in the act of erect
ing fence they were fred on by unknown
parties, but escaped uninjured. They left
the spot at short notice. One of them went
up the road, one over a neighbours fence
and the other took to the swamp.

The Old Cemetery.

Editor Morning Ne,CS: In the afternoon
paper local, inspired, as stated, by resi-
dent opposite the old cemetery, is quoted as
saying: "Nor was the President of the
Tybee road particular about cutting
through the colored cemetery near Dept
ford plantation, though he now opposes the
deSecrdtiOn of tire South Broad street
tract Two wrongs never made a right,
and because, as charged by the veracious
resident opposite the old cemetery, | may
have invaded the sanctity of one cemetery,
would not justify me in joining hands with
him in his efforts to dcSecrate another, re-
CARELESS of the color question. But the as
sertion, so far as | am concerned in this
matter, officially or personally, is not sus-
tanned by the facts.
The burying ground through which the
Tybee road passes is IN Deptford, not neor
it. Deptford is a part of a body of $500
acres of land in which hold ualf interest.
When the Tybee road was located through
this land | did not know that the line ran
within a mile of a burying place, and it
only came to my knowledge after the exca-
walton had been made through the piece of
land over which graves were scattered, not
visible until the thick ana tangled under
growth were cut away. | am glad of this
opportunity to say that had been informed

was done, for which | cannot in any wise
be held responsible, it would have
been given a different course, and | would

of this county though colored, just as |

polls and in the courts of last appeal, should

SHORT IN HIS ACCOUNTS.
H, w. Rail in the Role of a Fugitive
Cashier


Fl. w. Rail, bookkeeper and collector for
p. B. Springer, wholesale butter, cheese
and lard dealer, at No. 10 Whitaker street,
is short in his accounts and is supposed to
have skipped.
Rail has been in Mr. Springer's employ
for two years, and up TO a few days ago
held the full confidence of his employer
Day before yesterday Mr.. Springer had oc-
casion to look over his books and he
did not have to go far before he discovered
evidences Of crookedness. He was satisfied
that Rail was an embezzler, and he ac-
cused him of making false entries. After
some words, Rail admitted it, and said that
he had taken 5000 That was all, he said,
and to save his bondslnen he put up $lG0 in
German American Loan Association stock
Rail begged that he be let Off
and Mr. Springer promised him
go over 5000 he would not prosecute him
and would let the matter drop.
Yesterday morning Rail did not show up
He was sent for at his boarding place, with
Finn Bros, on West Broad street but he
had not been there since Wednesday. MIR.
Springer got a locksmith TO open his office,
and he at once begun an examination of his
books. Rail has been making false
entries all along. In his collec-
tions he made out two statements
for bills due He collected on one and made
returns on the other for smaller amount.
He had been carrying this ON for some time,
and his embezzlement, Mr. Springer said,
last night, will foot up probably in the
neighborhood of $500 or 81, 900. His bond,
it is thought, will cover the amount of his
shortage, though this cannot be got at until
the books have been gone over by an ex-
pert, which will take several days.
Rail was a popular young German, and
was identified with the leading German So
cietes. He was married and with his wife
lived at Finn Bros He was steady, indus
trious and reliable, and up to now has been
looked upon as thoroughly honest. His
habits were good and his friends are at a loss

Read the Death Roll

Which the bills of mortality of any large city

renal and vesical maladies, that is to say, those
that effect the kidneys or bladder, have a re

in the chronic stage are rarely cured, and

O'Clock the callers were citizens Of all colors,
sex and ages, whose curiosity prompted
them to visit the Jail. The reception of per
manent guests began at $50, and by 500
o'clock thirtv-two prisoners had been trans
ferred from the old county prison to their
