Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1890-11-15

A DEAL was consummated in
Memphis last Saturday by which the
Appeal purchased the Avalanche,
and the paper appeared in CONSOLE
dated form Sunday morning as the
Appeal-Avalanche. The continued
i'll health of Mr.. Phelan, owner of the
Avalanche, necessitated some dispo-
sition of the paper, and the above
was the result. The Appeal-Ava,
lanche now owns the exclusive Asso.
ciated Press and United Press franz
chises for Memphis, and is one of the
largest and strongest newspaper en-
terprises in the South. The paper
has a splendid corps of well trained
journalists in charge of its various
departments, and with the added
prestige of the consolidation has a
bright and useful career before it.

its eleventh year, the last eight of
which it has been under its present
management. We shall strive to
make it in future, as in the past, one
of the best country weeklies in Ten
nessee. We feel proud of the steady
patronage it receives, and shall spare
no effort to make it merit continu-
ance of the same through the future.

THERE was a squeeze" in the
money market of New York the first
two or three days of this week, and a
panic in Wall Street. One operator
on Change died under the excite

banks trembled on the verge of ruin
for hours. The "bears" have had a
kind of picnic as it were. but the

CAN'T WHISTLE IN AUGUSTA.
The River Steamboats, Will Have to
Muzzle Their Whistles Now.

The River Steamboats, Will Have to
Muzzle Their Whistles Now.
The Savannah river steamboats, are hav-
ing hard time of it in Augusta. They
have been compelled by law to discontinue
the protracted blowing of their whistles In
the city, privilege which the mariners
have always enjoyed.
Last year charges were brought against
the officers Of the steamboat Katie in Mag
istrate Davis court, claiming that they
blew their whistle long and loud, and at
most disagreeable hours, which was great
nuisance. AS a result they were put under
bond to discontinue the nuisance.
A similar suit has again been brought
against the officers and pilot of the Ad-
vance. TIE pilot, Ed Richardson, claimed
that he didn't handle the whistle and Capt.
H. A. Strobar and Mate Thomas L. Swinton
were accordingly put on trial. After hear
ing the case Judge Davis dismissed Richard
son and put the two officers under good
behavior" bonds of $500 each-in which they
promise not TO disturb the neighborhood Of
the river any more with unnecessary blow
ing of their whistles.

a LAWYERS, NEED.
The Lack of Law Library Felt by
the Savannah Bar

Inc savannah Bar.
1t is surprise to visiting attorneys to
Savannah to learn when they come here
that there is no local association of the
Chatham county bar. This accounts, too,
for the lack of law hbrary-something
which is keenly needed here. Few cities of
the size and importance of Savannah are
without an institution of the kind. The
county commissioners, in constructing the
new court house, thoughtfully provided for
room for a law library, believing that after
awhile the lawyers will take the matter in
hand and establish library.
In talk with A. R. Lawton, Jr., which
drifted into the subject of a law library,
MIR. Lawton said that the Savannah bar
ought to establish one. He said that it
would be great saving to attorneys, as by
the present system attorneys who keep up
their libraries must buy the same books, an
expense which law library would avoid
There is quite loss, too, from frequent
borrowing from those who have full Ii
braries, and the borrowing is sometimes
annoying and embarrassing
Some years ago, Mr.. Lawton says, there
was considerable talk of establishing law
library, but the older members OF the bar,
who have good libraries, declined to aid the
enterprise, and as the young lawyers could
not get 1t up themselves, the project was
abandoned.
Few cities in the country have as complete
catalogue OF law books as the bar of Sa-
vannah could contribute to a law library if
there should be unity of action. 1t would
be more than a nucleus, for
there are several law offices in
the city which could unite to
store the shelves Of a law library with books
running back into the statutes of the time
Of George III. aad down to the latest state
and United States reports. 1t is believed
that if two or three of the active and in
fuential members of the bar would enlist
themselves in the enterprise the library
could be established very shortly after the
new court house is ready for occupancy.
