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-
hersive statement Of thu business of Savan-
nah, will be issued FIR day, Sept. G.
The year ending Sept l, 1889, will be
memorable one the hi,tory Of Savannah,
and the MORNING NEWS proposes II give
the widest publicity 70 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
figures that Savannah is one of the most
progressive and healthy cities In the union,
and that her citiz.n,, 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 inn
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 confidence
In her great natural advantages, and that
they believe that her deep water harbor
and her great railroad systems will, in q
few years. make her the greatest seaport
city in the south.
The MORNING NEWS will, in its Trade
Review, present TO the word Savannah oil
today In a resume of what has hereto
fore appeared in its columns. The review
will be in such shape that, at 6
glance, it will be seen what has
been accomplished during the year.
The Trade Review will contain articles
showing the Blu iress 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 more
pleasant in which to live and do bushes:
either in summer or winter. 1t will
prove BY ngures that savannah Il
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 the
usual form, and will be newspaper which
those who feel a 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 bushes,
and themselves. 1t is hoped that in size, a,
vol 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 ne have reason to believe i.
will be.
Orders for advertising or for copies Of
the paper can be banded in at the business
Office or, if desired they will be called for
by the canvassers.

A Democrat VIII b Elected.

The indications are that a democrat will
be elected in the Third congressional dis
trict OF Louisiana The campaign has been
an interesting one, aad the election will
! occur in a few DAYS.
! 1t is now admitted that the republicans
made mistake in nominating NJ. Minor.
! It has not been very long since he was a
democrat. he became e republican b.
cause he thought the Repu lican party
| favored high duty on sugar. He is a
large sugar planter, ami is, very
naturally, interested in having sugar
| protected. He was not the choica
of the black voters, however, a "a many 4
| the white republicans of the district OBJ
| jected to him. His nomination was brought
about b. faction that wants t. MAKE tie
Republican party in Louisiana respectable
| by accessions Of native whites of wealth
and social standing. 1t sacrificed success
TO crafty pride.
Since the campaign began it has been a.
parent that Mr.. Minor has very little
! chance Of being elected He cluld rot
assert on the stump that the Repub lean
party favored a high protective tariff on
suga, because, in the last congress, the
Senate tarlff bill, which was a republican
measure, contained a provision reducing
the duty on sugar 50 per cent.
The conZre slonal district contains nearly
all the great sugar parishes, and Mr. Minors
failure to show that tie Republican party
could be depended upon to maintain the
present duty on sugar has lost him the
sympathy even Of many of those who are
not in harmony with tho Democratic party.
The blacks do not like MIR Minor because
he has no sympathy with them. They
understand very we'll that they could not
depend upon him to got offices for their
leaders il he should be elected. They are,
therefore, disposed to stay away from tie
polls. Many Of them will vote, of course,
but very considerable percentage of the
will not.
Several northern Republican congressman
made speeches in the district with the view
of assisting Mr. Minor 1t is believed that
they did him more harm than good. They
did not take kindly to the blacks, and could
IT answer satisfactorily to the blacks
some very pertinent questions that were
put to him about discrimination against
the blacks in the north.
The republicans will be disappointed if they
fail to elect their candidate. They say tn It
there is a republican majority of 1900 OF
5000 in the district There has been nc
bulldozng and no intimidation, and if they
are defeated they will sta convicted OF
having willfully mislead their poIltica
brethren in the north

The republicans don't seem to b. as anx-
ious for an extra session of congress as they
were sometime ago. Then they had very
slim majority in the House, and they
wanted to increase it as speedily as possible
by unseating southern democrats, but there
is now a vacancy in one of the republican
districts, aid it is said to be almost certain
that Mr.. Nutting, New York republican D,
will be unable to be in his seat. Considering
these things the republicans have concluded
that there is no necessity for al extra
session. They are now hoping that the
elections in the new states will Increase
their majority to the point where they need
not tremble in their boots.

How a Girl Got Engaged.
From the RockdWdy Journal.

Across the fields as we idly strolled,
In the cloudless summer day.
The winds were waiting the rare perfume
From the meadows of new mown hay.
And our carts were still, as our lips kept time
To our steps on that pleasant way.
And down where the brook like a Maynard
child
RusheS on DER the pebbly floor,
And sprinkes the rocks with its diamond spray
And ripples along the Shore
We stopped at the crossing; l gave him my
hand,
And trustingly followed him o'er
And when, in the twilight we came again.
Our lips for the ce were STILL
And he held my hands as we crossed the stream
And hardy against my will;
For gave my heart where gave nv hand
AT the foot of the noisy rill
And when in the shade OF the vine-clad porch
We parted, it seemed to me
The stars were twinkling IN rare delight
Though I'm sure no eye could see
If the spot on my cheek had a crimson blush
And my heart an ecstasy.

a Goose Story.
From The Ne,o YORK sun.

READING, Pa, Aug. 31.-The other day party
OF young men Of Brownsville, over the border
Line in Schuylkll county, while on lark, soaked
some corn in a pint of whisky which they
couldn't drink and scattered it among a flock of
geese that had wandered from farm house a
short distance away. The geese greedily de-
voured the corn and then moved off again to-
ward the farm house. An hour later the woman
who owned them found them in the yard in a
comatose state, and, believing them to have
been killed by poison at the hands of some
them. After plucking them bare and deciding
that they could not be used for food under the
circumstances, she flung the naked carcasses
down an embankment near by. During the
night the lucklesS birds slept off their drunk,
and next morning the farmers wife WAS aston
lshed and chagrined to see them all huddled to-
gether outside the front gate in nude aud re-
pentant condition. Soc set to work and made

the New Y ork Tribune is making great
to do because Sim Coy, of Indianapolis,
who was sent to the penitentiary for cleo
ton frauds in that city, has been nominated
for councilman by the de nocrats of the
Eighteenth ward. 1t doesn't reflect credit
upon the democrats of that ward to nomi-
nate the Hon. Simeon, to be sure, but it
cannot be expected that even democrats
should always make proper nominations.
What is worthy of a passing notice, how
ever, is that the Tribune fails utterly t.
state that President Harrison, for some
mysterious reason, pardoned Coy out OF
the penitentiary several months age, and
that the petition for the pardoA was signed
by leading Indiana republicans. The Tri-
bune has never explained that business.
