Visit to Savannah.

Deputy Grand Chief Conductor c. A.
Mallard Of the Order Of Railway Conduc-
tors, paid Savannah an official visit yester-
day. He came via the Charleston and Sa-
vannah railway, and was met at the depot
by several Of TIE Central railroad and Savan-
nah, Florida aud Western railway con-
ductors and escorted TO Old Fellows hall.
where the monthly meeting Of the railway
conductors was in progress. Daring the
course of the meeting Mr.. Mallard made an
able and interesting addr=ss .
the members setting forth the
true aims and objects Of the order and CIV
ing them instructions as to the ritual In
conclusion he complimented the diyiSi n
upon its organization ard efficiency. he
also alluded In enthusiastic terms u the
hospitality and courtesy to the southern
people, especially as exhibited by the mem
bers Of the Order of Railway Conductors.
After the meeting Mr.. Mallard was driven
around the city 10 the various places Of in
terest, and to the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway depot, where he took the
Atlantic Coast Line train for the north.
He has been in the south over a month, and
has visited the principal cities where there
was a division of the Order Of Railway
Conductors. He spoke in the most com-
plimentary terms Of the treatment he
received from the Savannah conductors.
and said that while the southern conductors
are not as well posted In the workings Of
the order rs the northern men are
there is good material in the south, and the
men are taking hold of the order with more

DR.. A Oemler's book, "Truck Farming
at the South" for which truck farmers in
this locality have been waiting for some
time, has just been issued by Orange Judd
Company, 757 Broadway, New York. The
book is guide to the raising of vegetables
for northern markets, and those who know
DR.. Oemler know that it must be an excel
lent guide For the benefit Of those who do
not know him it may not be out of place to
say that he is president IF the Fruit and
Vegetable Growers Association of Chatham
county, Georgia, and that he is practical
truck farmer.
DIR. Oemler'S book contains 274 pages,
and is as full of interesting and valuable
information as an egg is of meat. 1t treats
of every phase Of truck farming in a way
to make lasting impression upon those
who study its pages carefully. Tue doctor
in his preface says that the instructions
given, and facts presented, are mainly such
as are not to be found in the few works ex-
tant on southern gardening, and are
those resulting from a long expe-
riencen He began the business
of truck farming in the south more than a
quarter of a century ago, when there were
comparatively few engaged in it, and being
m IN of superior Intelligence and educa-
ton, and also a careful observer, it is but
natural UDdU ne SuOulu nave COllecUeQ q vast
amount of information Of a practical kind
relating to truck farming.
Within the last few years truck-farmiug
in the vicinity Of the South Atlantic coast
cities, and along the lines of railroad in South
Georgia and Florida, has grown to immense
proportions, and truck-farmers are in need
of just such guide as DR.. Oemler's.
DR.. Oemler does not confine his book to
few dry details but goes into the question
Of labor, points OUT the fertilizers that pro-
duce the best results, writes interestingly
about the different kind of soils and the
relative value Of each; calls attention
to the various insects VIII
trouble the crops of farmers, aud
suggests the methods for getting rid Of
them. He gives chapter on seed and seed
sowing, which in itself is worth more than
the price Of the book, and .his remarks on
uot-beds, cold frames and the weather show
a wide and varied knowledge of those sub
jects. He gives special attention to vege-
tables which are grown extensively in this
locality, and shows what varieties are the
most valuable. The growers of water
melons and Strawberries will find that his
suggestions about those fruits are particu-
larry pertinent DR.. Oemler, In publishing
this volume, has done the truck farmers OF
the south a service which they ought not TO
be slow to appreciate.

Reports to Bradstreet's by ANA cor.

AT 937 towns, about SO per cent. of the
whole number reported on or about Feb.
70, there was held a total stock of
1862, S5S bales, while ,512 towns, GO per cent
OF the whole number, reported no stocks on

SAVANNAH AUTHORS.
Two Valuable Books Just Published
That Bear Their Names.

Two Valuable Books Just Publis he'd
That Bear Their Names.
Historic and Picturesque Savannah is
the title of very handsome volume that
has just been published by The Boston
Photogravure Company. The authors are
Miss Adelaide Wilson and Miss Georgia
Weymouth, two Savannah ladies. The
volume was written by Miss Wilson, with
the exception of one chapter, that describ-
ing Savannah in war time" which was
contributed by Col. Charles II. Olmstead,
and was illustrated by Miss Weymouth.
The work Is so complete and harmonious,
and in every respect so admirable,
that if one Of the authors is entitled TO
to greater credit than the other, it would
rot be an easy matter to decide which one
il is. The principal facts in Savannah's
history are presented in a very graphic
manner, and in language so graceful and
simple that the volume has an att action
for the reader aside from the historical in
formation it contains. The subjects for
illustration are chosen with excellent judg-
ment, and show the skill and touch Of a
true artist. The hearts of the authors were
evidently in their work, and the produc-
ton Of their pen and pencil is something in
which every citizen OF Savannah has reason
to feel pride.
Inc volume Is one Chat Will dOuDCleSS
find its way into every home in Savannah
at least into the homes of all of those who
are in any way connected with the city's
history, or who feel an interest in her past
1t will also be sought for by hundreds who
have associations with Savannah but who
are now scattered throughout this and
other states. 1t is just what has been
wanted for long time. It gives in a COM
pact form all that is worth knowing about
the early settlers and settlement Of Savan-
nah, aud follows the growth Of tile city
with remarkable fidelity. The beginning
and expansion of her commerce are
dwelt upon and her historical places
are pointed out. Her distinguished
citizens IF the past and the present, are
brought for ward in their proper places. and
her disasters from fire, pestileuce
and earthquakes are described with
a vigorous pen. Her trials in war and
her achievements in peaceful pur-
suits are not forgotten. What she has
done for charity, religion end education is
found in the pages of the volume. And
here and there throughout the history the
faithful work of the artist greets the eye of
the reader, lending an additional charm to
the pages and making clearer the text.
There are three things connected with the
volume outside of the work of the authors,
that will attract more than a passing notice
The first is the eloquent preface written by
the Rev. G. H. Strong; the second is the
photographic copy of the will of Oglethorpe,
and the third is the work Of the publisher,
who has evidently endeavored to make a
handsome volume. The print is excellent
the paper fine and the binding handsome.
The book is one that would be noticeable in
any library.

BULLETS FOR EACa OF THEM.
Three Negroes Shot on the Augusta
Road.

Road.
The cross roads store at the intersection
of the Louisville and Augusta roads, few
miles west Of the city, was the scene of a
bloody ARRAY between three negro men
night before last. Sampson Price was shot
twice in the face. and Cesar Gregory and
Prince Low were each shot in the arms and
hands. The men came to the city about
midnight, and DR.. S. c. Parsons did not
finish dressing the wounds until yesterday
morning.
Price received two severe wounds in the
left face. One of the balls entered Just be-
hind t eye and the other in the cheek
Neither Of them was extracted. The swell
ing was so great that DR.. Parsons was I'M
able TO probe for them. The other two
men, with balls in the arms aud hands, iu-
sisted on having them taken out, and the
physicians removed them. Their wounds
are ugly, but not serious.
The difficulty had its origin in an old
feud. The men met at the cross roads store
and heated quarrel led to blows, culminat-
ing in an ARRAY in which pistols were used
by all parties. Price, it is said, did the first
firing, when the other men retaliated by
sending two balls crashing through his
face.
The police did not get hold of the affair
when the men came to the city bleeding
from their wounds, and no arrests were
made. The belligerants left the city after
their wounds were dressed.

John B. Norton, alias John B. Raymond,
alias J. Burton Bell, alias John Leslie, alias
John S. Ford, who was arrested on Feb. is
in Orlando, Fla, as a confidence man and
a forger, will have to give bond of $40, 900
if he gets out. 1t is thought by officers,
who are in a position TO know, that
scheme is on foot to get bondsmen COM
posed of his gang, but the scheme will
hardly work out.
1t is likely that if Harper Bros, on whom
the confidence man forged draft, do not
appear, or if the New York Herald is not
represented in Orlando, as prosecutors, the
man stands fair chance OF getting of.
The mere fact that the northern concerns
prefer the charge of forging, amounts to
q little less than nothing, unless they appear
in person TO prosecute the case. The conf
dence mans hope Of delivery is the absence
OF his prosecutors.
The officers are daily in receipt Of letters
of inquiry from New York state, Illinois,
Missouri, Ohio and various other states as
to the confidence man and forgers arrest
Inspector Byrnes has written asking for tue
man sailing under the name Of J. c. Hart.
The inspector states that Hart has been
representing him elf as a New York Herald
man, and that ne has been soliciting cuts
and descriptive matter for that paper
The officers who have the case in hand
have notified Inspector Byrnes that there
is possibility tat the harpers and the
Herald not being in Orlando at the proper
time to appear against the forger. and that
he should procure the necessary PAYERS and
hold himself in readiness, and, in the event
that they do not come, the forger will be
held for the inspector. Norton has done"
a term at Nashville on a charge of forgery.

THE SOUTHERN LEAGUE.
Savannah's Interest in Base Ball Not
What 1t Once Was

The days of professional base ball in Sa-
vannah seem to have passed, for few years
at least No effort has been made to put
Savannah in the Southern League this year.
In fact the league itself is not what may
be called booming. So far New Orleans is
the only club that has a team signed, but
the other cities mentioned some time ago
are moving. Several of them have man
ayers secured. who are now engaged in
signing players. President Whar on writes
that there Is no doubt about the eight cities
coming in. Charleston is making a strong
effort to put a team in the league. 1t is es-
timated that TO organize such team
as Charleston wants will require 81, 500
The club has already raised 81, 100, and it
has issued an appeal TO the public to sub
scribe the remaining $500.
The only city in the league that there is
much danger about is Chattanooga. The
Times said the other day: Several meet
ings have been called during the past few
weeks for the purpose Of talking over the
situation and obtaining subscriptions for
the proposed club. At one of these meet
ings three persons were present. No one
sho ed UP at the other two. Hence it will
be seen that the enthusiasm here is not
as general as it might have been, and is
confined to the breasts of very select few. ="
