The city of Knoxville, Tenn, proposes to
open wide its gates on Sept, 10 aud give the
freedom of the city for two days to the

Maj A. l.. Hartridge of this city says
that the Marietta and North Georgia, which
has recently been completed from Marietta,
Ga, TO Knoxville, will give a free round
trip ride to all Knoxville's guests from
points along the line of tine road.
1t Is the intention, Maj. Hartridge saws,
to take an excursion train from Savannah

Georgia, stopping at the great marble quar-
ries along the line of the road.
The excursion party will be composed
Of invited guests OF taeMarietta and

will be made about the middle of October.
1t is understood that the committee of the

gone over the entire line from Knoxville to
Marietta and return. The rapid develop
ment Of the North Georgia marble quarrfe s

The Morning News Trade Review.

The Morning News Trade Review.
Never in the business history of Savannah
has there been greater necessity for the
coming trade review OF the MORNING NEWS
illustrating Savannah and her enterprises
than at present.
Savannah is the great seaport city Of the
state. 1t is the gateway 10 the sea. The
products of vast territory empty them
selves here. Here are the headquarters of
the vast Central railroad system, per-
meating every nook and corner Of Georgia,
Alabama and South Carolina. Here is the
terminus of the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway, bringing all Florida and
Southern Georgia to our very doors, and
now extending itself to the heart of Ala
bama, drawing tribute for the city from
that prosperous state.
Savannah has now a new outlet TO the
timber lands and cotton fields lying along
the Savannah, Americas and Montgomery
and Savannah and Western roads. Along
all these roads are cities and towns and
villages. The trade of these should be So
cured for this city Train their merchants
to trade with Savannah. Advertise our
city and ourselves, and let them know what
Savannah merchants can do.
The Trade Review, going everywhere,
finding every village, seeking every bust
ness man, at once introduces the city and
her business men. 1t aids the drummer on
bis rounds. 1t tells our new acquaintance
in the recently opened territory where we
are and what we are. Such trade issue is
directory, guide.
This is an age Of reading. People look in
the newspapers to find what they want.
Cannot our business mon, arising to the
hight Of Savannah's bright future, aid in
making this trade review great mirror.
rejecting to the business world our beautiful
city in all her gloryl
This is Savannahs golden opportunity to
turn the tide Of travel and trade to her own
doors, and thus secure the advantages which
nature and the sagacity of business men
have given her.
Every merchant in Savannah should be-
represented in the columns of this issue
The cost is small; the returns great. Full
information will be furnished on appllca-
ton to the BUSINESS OFFICE, telephone 364.

to reveal. Mr.. Respess said that the family
of the de eased, who reside at B arnesville,
will probably retain an attorney to assist Ia
