A NIGHT OF AGONY.
A Mans Hair Turns White at the Aw
tul Peril He Was in.
From he BllVdlo Eagle.


Some years ago l was in Indianapolis Ind, on
business, and made there the acq aintance of a
very pleasant and intelligent gentleman, who
was member of the Senate of Indiana-John
Coburn. He had not reached middle life With
a fresh, ruddy complexion and healthy look
and vigorous step aad airing of early man
mood, he had an abundance of white halr on his
head that indicated man of a, least four score
years. could not understand how Sc yout full
a man in personal appearance should have such
remarkably white hair. Curiosity led me, after
very agreeable and sociable acquaintance of
several days, to ask: why is it, Mr.. COburn
that as young man as you are should have so
white a head Of hair?"
He a swered at once: ''Oh. Mr. Briggs, there
is a terrible story connected with my white
hair" And he told it to me as follows "A few
years ago [ was in tn cattle business, shipping
them by carloads to tn east One night / nad
a train of several carloads and had stopped on
a side track to let a passenger train pass, and
on getting on to Car in the dark my foot

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

The MORNING NEWS Annual Trade Re-
view, containing complete and compre-
hensive statement of the business of Savan-
nah, will be issued early in September.
The year ending Sept. l, 1899, will be- a
memorable one Il 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 ia its forthcoming
Trade Review will show by facts and
figures that Savannah is one of the most
progressive and healthy cities In the union,
and that her citiz ne, judgi1g from what
they have done during the last year, arr
fully alive to the great less 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
they are not afraid to invest their money
within her limits. They have demonstrated
beyond all doubt that they have confide &c
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 word Savannah OF
fore appeared in its columns The review
will be in such shape that, at a
glance, it will be seen what has
been accomplished during the year
The Trade Review will contain articles
showing the business Of the city during the
year and present indisputabe facts which
promise a steadily increasing prosperity.
1t will establish the fact that there is no
healthier city in the south and none more
either in summer or winter. 1t will
prove by figures that Savannah is
without a rival on the South Atlantic
coast, and that by thei' acts her citizens
show that they are satisfied that she is
eaty at the beginning OF her commercial
greatness
The Trade Review will be printed in the
usual form, and will be a newspaper which
those who feel pride in their city will
take pleasure in sending to their friends.
1t will afford business me an opportun-
ity of saying something about their business
and themselves. 1t is hoped that in size as
well as in other respects, it will sur ass
every previous edition. That, however,
depends entirely upon the orders it re-
ceives from advertisers.
1t is desired to distribute $1,000 copies,
and that number will be distributed, If the
response of the business men is as prompt
and liberal as we have reason to believe 1t
will be.
Orders for advertising or for copies of
the paper can be banded in at the bushes,
Office, or, if desired, they viii be called for
by the canvassers.
