lr. Wanamaker' Postal Telegraph
scheme.

Postmaster General Wlnamaker is am
bilious it appears, to earn the reputation
Of having put into successful operation a
successful postal telegraph scheme. He is
discussi e such scheme with the president
of the Western Union Telegraph Company,
and with others who control small tsle-
graph lines. 1t is understood that the
Western Union is ready to become party
TO the sche ne. The only thing in the way
is the question of rates. 1t is probable that
the telegraph companies want higher rates
than the Postmaster General thinks it would
be advisable to charge.
OF course, the Post master General cannot
make any binding arran cement relative to
postal telegraphy. Hecan only make recon-
mendations to congress There is no doubt
however, that his recommendations would
be approved if the telegraphic rates were at
all reasonable. 1t is said that ha is now
pressing the telegraph companies to accept
rates that would make a postal telegraph
System a success.
The Postmaster General has contro-
versy with the Western Union company
hOOuO bbS ldVSS Jus BONcInllle eHdLl pay
or m ASA ses. He seams to have dropped
that for the present and to be devoting a
great deal of time to the postal teleg 'aph
scheme. During the di cussion of the qass
ton of the rates to be paid by the govern
ment the Western Union company declared
that one of its greatest expenses
was the collection and delivery
of messages This declaration directed
the Postmaster Generals attention to a
postal telegraph system. He concluded
that the government ,uid collect AID de-
liver message in thu towns where
the special delivery system wa.
in operation, and he therefore
proposed that the government should col
lect and deliver messages if the telegraph
companies would so reduce the ratss taat
the telegraph would be u'el to a much
greater extent than at present.
OF course if the Postm lster General sue
ceeds in his undertaking he will make a
| reputation that will BE- isting one. If he
is work. ~ for molu nent ne had better
bend all his energies in the direction of tn
| postal telegra ph sche ne.

SAVANNAH OF TO-DAY.
The Morning News Annual Trade Review
Few Pointers in Relation Thereto.

The MORNING NEWS Annual Trade Re-
view, containing a complete and compre-
hensive statement Of the business of Savan-
nah, will be issued Friday, Sept. g.
The year ending Sept. l. 1889, will be a
memorable one in the history of Savannah,
and the MORNING NEWS proposes to give
the widest publicity to what Savannah has
done, is doing, and proposes to do in the
near future. There is no better way in
which the outside world can be informed of
what is going on in a community than
through the columns Of its newspapers.
The MORNING NEWS IN its forthcoming
Trade Review will show by facts and
.sgures that Savannah is one of the most
progressive aud healthy cities In the union,
and that her citizens, judging from what
they have done during the last year, are
fully alive to the great ess of her future
They have proven by the various local i'm
provements they have made, and by the
active interest they have manifested in
railroads projected for her benefit, that
they are not afraid to invest their money
within her limits. They have demonstrated
beyond all doubt that they have confidence
In her great natural advantages, and that
they believe that her deep water harbor
and her great railroad systems will, in a
few years, make her the greatest seaport
city in the south.
The MORNING NEWS will, in its Trade
Review, present to the world Savannah o.
to-day" In a resume of what has hereto
fore appeared in its columns. The review
will be in such shape that, at {
glance, it will be seen what ha.
boon accomplished during the year
The Trade Review will contain article,
showing the blu mess Of the city during the
year and present indisputable facts which
promise steadily increasing prosperity.
1t will establish the fact that there is nc
healthier city in the south and none NOR,
pleasant in which to live and do bushes
cASdot Ia VI Winter. III VII
prove by figures that Savannah i
without rival on the South Atlantic
coast, and that by their acts her citizens
show that they are satisfied that she il
only at the beginning of her commercial
greatness.
The Trade Review will be printed in tn
usual form, and will be newspaper which
those who feel pride in their city will
take pleasure in sending to their friends.
1t will afford business mea an opportun
ity of saying something about their bushes
and themselves. 1t is hoped that in size. a
well as in other respects, it will sur as
every previous edition. That, however
depends entirely upon the orders it re
ceives from advertisers.
1t is desired TO distribute $4,000 copies
and that number will be distributed, il tn
response of the business men is as prompt
and liberal as we have reason to believe /
will be.
Orders for advertising or for copies o.
the paper can be handed in at the bushes
Office, or, if desired, they will be called To-
by the canvasSers.

Our law and land business has
grown to such proportion that it be-
came necessary to dispose of our in
surand business, as we have not the
time to give our insurance depart.
ment the time and attention which
it demands. We desire to express
our thanks to our many patrons, for
whom We have been insuring for sew
eral years, for their kind and gener-
Gus treatment We have disposed
of our insurance to Thomas w. An
ders on,of Morgantown. This gentle
man needs no encomium, for his bus
mess ability and honorable manner
of transacting business. He has
been engaged in the insurance work
for several years and understands
how to run this avocation in the
proper manner. Parties seeking in
surance should look well not only to
the assets of the company, but should
insure with local agent who stands
well in the estimation of the people
and whose Judgment is respected
by the companies he represents. If
loss occurs great deal depends
upon the report of the local agent
and if the company has learned to
trust to the Judgment Of the agent
there will be little difficulty in ad-
justing losses.
Mr.. Frank Cox, the States attor-
ney, and myself have recentley en-
tered into partnership in the law
and land business. We intend to
take care of the interest of the PEG
pie and we give fair notice to all
parties who break the law and offend
the dignity of West Virginia, that
they will get the full penalty of the
law without fear or favor. We are
the officers of the State and as such
we will carry out the law to the let
ter.
To the people of the county and
all others, we say that we are located
here permanently for the practice of
the law, both in criminal and civil
matters, and we intend to give it
vigor and our undivided thought and
attention and by hard work, honesty
and careful preparation in every case
we hope to merit your continued
patronage and respect. Yours re-
spectfully. GEORGE C. BAKER.
