JUGS BY THE THO USAND.
More of Them Sent Out from Savan-

More Of Them Sent Out from Savan-
nah This Year Than Ever Before.
The "jug" traffic is booming, and the
express men are moving around lively to
dispatch the business. Over 200 jugs of all
sizes and descriptions are being sent out
every morning over the three roads leading
out of Savannah
The express men say that the number of
jugs will continue to grow larger until
Christmas week, when they predict that
over 1000 jugs will go out of Savannah
every morning. The traffic has begun
about the same time this year as it did last
year, but the number of jugs is larger.
The weather does not have mucn to do
with the jug traffic either one way or the
other. People are going to haye their
Christmas jug" whether it rains or shines.
During the busiest part of tie week the
floor in front of the desks extending nearly
around the express company's Office is filled
with jugs, piled up one above the other,
three and four deep.
Not many people here see this immense
traffic going on, the expressmen say. The
drays begin to haul the jugs to the off ce
just after supper. and they haul constantly
until midnight, and metimes later.
Jugs go all along up the Central railroad
down the Savannah, Florida and Western
railway, and over into Carolina on the
Charleston and Savannah railway. 1t is
one time of the year when all Of Savannahs
territory draws on her for the same article
