If a wide-awake man who sells lamp-chimneys happens to read, will he write to Mac beth & Co.,, Pittsburgh 1?
 They make the "pearl-top"
 9 chimneys that do not - break, except by accident. "Pearl-top" is the trade mark.
 Some dealers think they can't afford to stop the breaking of chimneys. s'It would spoil the business" they say.

THE FIRST BALE OF SEA ISLAND.

1t is to be Sent to Liverpool at Once.
The first bale of the sea island crop was
received yesterday by Messrs. w. W. Cor
don Co. 1t was shipped from Valdosta
by Messrs L. and B. F. Strickland, and
was grown in Lowndes county by George
w. Herndon, one Of the largest and most
successful planters of South Georgia. The
bale was fine specimen, being free from
gin cut and oil, having lost but one pound
in weight while in transit The preparation
was good and it is well matured. 1t classed
as medium fine Floridas and weighed 473
pounds. 1t was sold to Messrs. Duckworth
Turner & Co. at rs cents per pound. Last
year the first bale was received by the same
firm from the same place, but was eight
days later than this, and it was also grown
by Mr.. Herndon.
The Ocean Steamship Company have
agreed to transport the bale free of charge
to New York and to get it there in time to
ship it by the ocean greyhound Teutonic for
Liverpool. If they succeed the bale will
arrive in Liverpool earlier than any bale of
the same kind Of cotton in any previous
season. The following table will show the
date of receipt of the first bale of sea island
for the past ten years, and it is a remarka-

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 to the sea. The
products of a 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 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 Sc
cured for this city. Train their merchants
to trade with Savannah. Advertise our
SAsy ohu Jul eeANess anu LeI Lneul KNOW Wnat
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
his rounds. 1t tells our new acquaintance
in the recently opened territory where we
are and what we are Such trade issue is
q directory a pllida
This is an age of reading. People look In
the newspapers to find what they want.
Cannot our business men, 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 glory?
This is Savannah's 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 applica-
ton to the BUSINESS OFFICE telephone, 1854.

THE soUra's BRIGHT OUTLOOK.
The Financial Condition of Savannah's
Trade Territory.

The Financial Condition of Savannah's
Trade Territory.
W. H. Logan, superintendent of The
Bradstreet's mercantile agency in Savan-
nah, said to a MORNING NEWS re porter
yesterday in reply to an inquiry as to the
financial condition of this section of
country, that it is very cool. OF course it
might be better. but the good cotton crop
OF last year, with the good
price received for it and
the prospect of a crop equally as good, and
perhaps better. for this year, with the
present high prices, has made the condition
OF the agricultural classes more prosperous
than for many years past.
The prosperity is shown In the increased
trade of Savannah. Mr.. Logan says there
has been a steady increase in Savau-
nah's trade for some time, and
a noticeably large increase in the
sales of the Savannah job ling houses. The
opening Of the new railroads, the Savannah
and Western and the Alabama Midland.
has added largely to the increase in ade.
The increase in the wholesale trade has
been more especially marked in the dry
goods, boots, shoes and clothin &
lines. Jobbers in these goods
during the last few months have
reached out to greater distance
from Savannah than ever before The
Wholesale grocerymen have also extended
their territory, but. on account of freight
rates, they have not been able to reach as
far out as the jobbers in the other lines.
Nothing shows the extension of Savau-
nahs trade more than the number Of in
quiries received concerning firms at distant
points, of whom there had never been
any information sought previously.
The financial condition of the country is
healthy and the outlook good. Reports so
far received indicate that the condition of
the cotton crop is about the same as last
year, and that the crop will be fully as large
AMI perhaps larger. Altogether Savan-
nah's prospects are very bright for the COM
ing season.

THE cITY,s FOOD SUPPLY.
Inspector Desvergers' Report to the
Citizens Sanitary Association.

Inspector Desvergers' Report to the
Citizens Sanitary Association.
Inspector Desvergers of the Citizens Sani-
tary Ass ociation, in his report Of food in
spections for the week ending last night, re-
ports the quality of food produce in the Sa-
vannah market the same average as that Of
the previous week
The inspector reports, in reference to
other sanitary matters, that there is not
much water standing on the low lands east
OF the city except in the burrow pits OF the
Tybee railroad. He has reason to hopa
that Bradley's creek food gates will be put
in proper condition as soon as the city engi-
neer and the Savannah, Florida aud
Western railway authorities shall decide
as TO the most exped.ent remedy for their
present ineiflciency.
The lands south of the city are in a toler-
ably good condition, except that portion
just beyond tho extended limits of the city,
to the rear OF Louisville and between South
vile aud tire McNish farm, which needs
draining. The lands west of the city are
sgain receiving the benefits incident to the
operation OF convict muscle, and the low
lands between the Jasper spring lands and
the Hermitage will soon be rendered as dry
and healthy as any lands within the vicinity
of Savannah.
The inspector says that IL the Ocean
Steamship Company were directing its
efforts specially to matters Of So itation in
the work now being done upon its lands ad-
jacent to its wharf property, it could not
work more effectually in the interests of
the sanitation of the western section of the
city. At the rate OF progress now being
made in filling up the low
lands. every foot of ground
on its property will soon be converted into
high, dry and healthy land. The inspector
says, however, that the conditi IN of old
mill ponds and the canal beds above Gays
lock and the brick yard excavations Offset
all these good results, and that it behooves
the authorities of the city to address their
attention to these standing menaces to the
