APPAREL THAN THE MAN"

A Subject in Which Thousands are In
terested-What is Seen on Broughton
Street ANY Fair Day-A Brief Con-
Versation With a Prominent Fancy
Goods Man.
Broughton street is to Savannah what
Broadway is to New York. 1t is the pulse
of the city. 1t is here the student of hui
manity can learn his greatest lesson. The
rich and the poor are each bent on some
mission-the votaries of fashion, in gay at
tire, giving color to the scene-and the
whole make an attractive picture. Follow
ing the crowds as they surged up and down
the streets, the reporter at last found HIM
self in front Of F. Gutman's Fancy Goods
House Being curious to know why such a
crowd was surging in and out of his store,
the reporter sought Mr.. Gutman, who
cheerfully answered a few questions.

day. Yes, we keep the best to be had, and

An Essay for Man.

Sanscrit of Dennis Mulcdhey.

Improving on Translated From the
Sanscrit of Dennis Mulcdhey.
CANro l.
Awake my muse leave all small things
To low ambition and envy's scornful stings
Forget the new hotel the market sewer,
Railroad schemes, quarantine, the new brewer.
Let Tybee bask amidst her rolling sands,
Her switchback road and picnic stands.
Spring has come her vernal breath inspires
All, with bright hopes, boils and poetic fire.
The new court house clock will reckon future
time,
The new postoffice lives only in our rhyme
But Fashion Yields afresh her magic wand,
Last years straw hat soon will be unpawned
At LEWIS, hustle" wakes the morning air,
Spring Suits dispense brilliant glare.
It's there that Fashion holds her gorgeous
court
With seductive raiment for sage or sport"
Imported Suits in Wide Wales, the newest fad !;
Trousers in variety to drive "Brummell'' mad,
Neckwear varied as the rainbow's tints,
Furnishings that would make cynic vince
Lol the poor Indian, whose bronzed frame
Courts nature and scorns Clothng's name
Would catch on" quickly TO LEWIS show
And pledge his blanket such style to know.
Neglige Shirts, fit companions of our ease,
Such beauteous garments, one seldom sees.
Mother! Thou whose simplest wants
Are relinquished. to keep your boy in Pants,
We have Boys Suits, all tOooI and stout
At any price, to close the remnant out.
Ministers, who guide and keep us straight,
We have Suits for you in any tOeight.
In fine we've opened up for Spring
A stock, whose praises even zoe must sing.
Our prices, too. catch Competitions eye,
But zoe always lead, while others can but try.
Our variety is 80 boundless in its extent,
That we please each. no matter what his bent.
We always keep faith with our many friends,
So that our reputation begins where others
ends.
Call early at B. II. LEVY & Bro. s store,
Aud see the rush. for every one wants more"
The man is wise. who knows when he is through,

sAvANNAH's GREAT ENTERPRISE.

McDonough & Co.'S Door, Sash and
Blind Mandatory and Planning Mills.
Very few people of Savannah are aware
of the immense concern that has sprung up
like magic in their midst.
The immense Planning Mills and Sash,
Door and Blind factory of McDonough &
Co., is a wonder to all who have visited the
works.
Over five acres are in use, and the scene
is one that is calculated to make one feel
hopeful as to the future growth Of Savan-
nah.
Why Savannah has not become great
manufacturing city is mystery to many.
With the many natural advantages,
healthful climate and open communication
with the world, there is no reason Tor It's
being otherwise.
AS an illustration of the prohtableness of
manufacturing, Mr.. J. J. McDonough, the
proprietor, has met with flatteriug success
since his mills began work.
In an interview yesterday with Mr.. f.
H. Morse the manager, ne said:
~ have been crowded to our utmost ca
pacty
have with the DeSoto hotel that is under
construction in this city, and the Iybee
hotel, keeps us pretty busy.
"You see we have only been in full
operation three weeks, and have had to
work at nights to catch up with our or
| ders.
Our warehouse is about complete, and we
have just received our first shipment Of
White Pine Ssh, Doors aud Blinds. They
will be kept in regular sizes, and all odd
sizes will be made in the factory"
What line Of work do you make a spe-
cialty Off was asked.
ooh, as to that" remarked Mr.. Morse.
''we furnish the material entire for a
| building, but do no contracting.
1--WE also make speciality of bank and
counter work. and keep a large stock of
hard woods on hand for that purpose"
"How many machines do you runp
''Quite number. We keep six different
| planning and molding machines running to
| their fullest capacity.
''Our entire establishment" continued Mr..
Morse, sis fitted up with tie latest i'm
proved machinery, and we are pre- AIRED to
turn out the itgrade of work.
"We work about fifty hands; they are
skilled mechanics, as we employ no other
| kind"
"You have every convenience, 1 see, Mr..
Morsep
"Oh, yes. Two railroad tracks are laid
in the yard, which brings our lumber right
to the machines
do you furnish everything for a
buildingl"
Yes, everything, and the immense
| amount of stock we carry in Hardware,
Glass, ETC., enablesus to give special prices
| to contractors
"You have your hands full, l should
| judgef'
well, yes. am kept pretty busy, but
am ably assisted by Mr.. T. j. Dinkens, who
was formerly with Andrew Hanlev. Mr..
| W. c. McDonough, brother of the proprie-
tor, has charge of the yard So you see,
am pretty well assisted"
These mills are pride to Savannah, and
| is a step in the right direction. for it shows
what thrift, money and enterprise can do.
