The Port chapter of the Epworth League
held its first public meeting at the Metho-
dist Episcopal parsonage last Tuesday. An
interesting program had been prepared for
the occasion but was not rendered owing to
IA threatened thunder gust, which compelled
an adjournment at the time set for il, as
the members were not prepared for rain.
The chapter was organized Il little over Il
month ago and now has a membership OF
nearly fifty.
The Methodist Episcopal Sunday School
held its annual picnic at Happy Valley
yesterday Wednesday,. AS the flying
horses, swings, ice cream and every thing
else were free, good use was made of them
all. All seemed t" have enjoyed them selves.
The school was taken down to the valley on
the steamer CITY Belle at nine o'clock in the
morning and brought back at half pas
seven in the evening The attendance was
about three hundred.
Our postmaster, Mr.. S. a. Nannort, ac-
companed by Mr.. j. Tome and several
other gentlemen went to Washington tits
morning to see about moving our postotlice
down to the new hall. The subject has been
resting since the inspector was here several
months ago. The present room is not suited
for the business aud should be vacanted for
one that is.

Fighting Il Trust.

Our forn:er fellow .townsman Col.
Richard +. May now of Bozeman Mon-
tana where he has recently embarked
in business finds that Trusts and Com
binations to keep up prices are institu-
lions there as elsewhere. II energy and
perseverance can accomplish any thing
to break up these local combinations
Col May has good stock OF both, and
he has declared war on one Combination
rs the following circular will Show.
There seems to be in Bozeman a Trust
Syndicate, or a Combination of some
kind to hold the prices of Patent Medi-
cnes up to the Old rates as when they
we're hauled $50 or 800 miles on slow
teams. No SENSE or justice in that.
Consumers need not longer submit to the
extortiou. Trust prices have been
smashed at the White Front. The Bozc-
man Com bination is backed up by bloated
bond holders of Helena, as witness the
following letter:
Helena, Montana, June !, 1890.
II. F. May. Bozemau, Montana.-Sir =:
Replying to yours of the 9Th we arc adj
yised that you sell the goods ordered at
less than list price, therefor must decline

Right you are, old moss back, l am
selling the medicines at less than list
price, and what are you going to do
about it? Shelves at the White Front
are well flied with the more popular
remedies.
Now do not be ungenerous enough to
say that Parchen & Co. were advised
by Bozemau druggists-perish the
thought. r. +. MAY.

a Very Large Excursion.

The Sunday School excursion to Tol-
chester on Tuesday was probably the
largest that ever went out of Ekton.
There were more than $50 persons on
board when The steamer Tockwogh left
Singerly wharf. 1t was the Toch wOgh's
first visit to Elktou. This new steamer
is very much better adapted to excur-
sions than the Chester aud other steam
ers that have been used for the purpose.
1t is nicely furnished and very commo-
dious, being licensed to carry 1900 per-
Sous. The Took wogh made the trip in
about three hours each way, and is said
to be one of the fastest boats on the Ches.
apeake Bay. COLCHESTER has a number of
new features, and the excursionists all
report an enjoyable day.
The excursion was given by the Elkton
NJ. E. Sunday School the officers of
which managed the affairs and nettcd
moro than $3.50. This amount. VIC un.
dersCand, viii be used in improving the
Sunday School room. The scholars of
the Elkton Presby terian Sunday School
went on the excursion.

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1890-11-11
GEORGIA POLITICS.

The formal announcement is made and
the ticke5 is as follows:
First ward, Asbury Hull; second ward,
Edward j. Cosgrove; taird ward, Thomas
j. DAILY: fourth ward, Otis G. Lynch; fifth
ward, Andrew ]. Barnes.
Here is what the Augusta Chronicle saws
of the approaching municipal election in
that city: at is generally accepted, though
it has not been formally announced, that
the members of council whose terms are
about to expire will be candidates for re-
election, with the exception of Mr.. O'Con-
nor in the Fifth ward whose card has been
published, and possibly Mr.. Crane in tire
Second ward, who, it is understood, does
not care to remain longer in council.
DR.. J. 2. Smith, who has announced his
candidacy in the Fifth ward, will be
taken up by the administration, it is I'M
derstood, in Mr.. O'Connor's place. 1t is not
known if candidate will also be brought
out against Mr.. Cosgrove in the Second
ward in Mr. Cranes place. but many beliey o
the administration will make straight-out
fight all along the line. If they do things
will be lively for the next six weeks, for
the retiring members are strong men in the
wards. On the other hand, it is believed
by many that there will be no contest in
several of the wards and that the retiring
members will not offer for reelection.
1t is understood that j. J. OConnor
will be a candidate in the Third
ward for council at the coming election.
There has been no little curiosity on the
part Of the public to know the personnel OF
the citizens ticket for council.
