TO have been born and reared IN Savannah,
those of us Georgians living in mountain
homes Will be proud Of city OF such
wonderful growth anG prosperity; of a
people so intellectual, hospitable and brave
What beauteous visions fill the spot.
| What dreams Of pleasure neer forgot.

Gentlemen Of the legislature of Georgia,
feel very much like my friend Mr. Ran
kin did at Armory hall last night when he
said that something had been left out.
With our hearts beating heavily with the
stimulus OF your generous Communications,
We cannot but feel that we owe something
10 return TO the SOUS of the hills of Georgia.
l remember well when, during the great
war between the states, desolation
overlook the beautiful city of Atlanta,
the sympathetic hearts Of the people of Sa-
vannah went out in harmonious accord
with those Of her red clay hills for the
brave and suffering people Of Atlanta. Nor
did any of the sons of Georgia rejoice
with warmer hearts than did the sons of
Savannah when they saw Atlanta rising
ph9 nix-like from her ashes, the proud and
beautiful daughter of her glorious noun
talns. Gentleman l give you the toast:
Atlanta, the queen city of the interior
may her career be forward and onward

PLEDGE TO BE REDEEMED.
Hon. j. P. Perry of Gilmer said: "You

Interests and propertypf Savannah.
MIR. L. h. PatIllo Of Augusta brought
down the house by saying he was in favor
or the next general assembly forming itself
into committee of the whole for the pur-
pose or securing greater appropriation for

Hon. II. L. Johnston of Campbell said:
"Our people have a truer and larger con-
ception than ever before of Savannah, and
we will go home and unite in urging the
government to give you harbor facilities
commensurate with your Importance as the
gateway of the SOUTH
Representative Harrington of Emanuel
was called OUT and said: II have long known
the steady progress which Savannah has
been making, and | am glad that those
living more remote have had a look about
the city. Its commerce, its manufactures
and its area are growing, but its hospitality,
which is proverbial. can 60 no farther. A
century's history shows that it has not gone
backward. Savannah being so near my
own home, feel q delicacy, ON an occasion
like this, in speaking all feel am proud
that 1t is in Georgia, and glad that in the
days OF Oglethorpe, Charleston did not
succeed in annexing it to South Carolina,
es it desired to do. Such generous hospi-
tality and urbane treatment as Savannah
has extended her guests for two days, can
not fail to charm, for there is a sweetness
in it that Is akin to that which flows from
the heart Of Him VINO fills all souls with the
love which unites men in common broth

cotton shall be shipped this way hereafter"
Senator Paul B. Trammell of the Forty
third district lives on far off edge of the
state in the mountains, but he had heard of
the seaport city. He had heard the old
soldiers OF the war tell of the trials and
troubles of the war, and how the good
women of Savannah had treated the boys
in the hospitals and sick rooms. They look
upon Savannah as a paradise, and fl nd it
all they have claimed for it, and more"
Hon. K. w. Grub Of Darien referred to
the kindness of Savannah as simply over
whelming. AS parting word, he said:
81 may say we have met the people of
Savannah, and we are theirn Let me pro-
pose this toast: Royal old Savannah; first
In war, first in peace, and first in old-time
hospitality
Senator Rice of Atlanta the author of
the Joint resolution providing for an oyster
commission, made an eloquent speech. He
said he is for Atlanta first, because it is
his home, and Savannah next. He tried to
serve it i'll the general assembly, and it
deserves, he said, all that it desires. 1t
does everything by whole. and nothing by
halves. He pledged himself to lend it any
aid In his power in the future.
COL. CRowDER TOASTED
The appearance of Col Crowder, of the
pension bill fame, was the signal for an
ovation to him. His health was drunk i'm

full of affection for your people"
H. T. Taylor, the journal clerk of the

your people, aud l only regret that l was
not born and reared in Savannah
