its midst, dismaurled and tenantless. Down

Beyond, the waters of the bay gleam and

The four hundred have increased until

IT IS MUCH NEEDED.

A Sidewalk Wanted on President
Street From East Broad to Randolph
In view of the great pedestrian travel to
aud from the Savannah and Atlantic rail-
way it would be matter of great conven-
fence 70 the public if sidewalk was laid on
the south side of President street from East
Broad to Randolph.
The present excuse for sidewalk consists
mostly Of cobblestones, broken bricks, old
shoes, bottles and other distractions, which
make walking after dark anything but a
pleasant task.
The need Of a sidewalk is obvious to any
one at all familiar with the locality, and
Alderman Harmon couldn't do a better
thing than have one put down at once.

A HEAVY SUNDAY DOWNPoUR.
Yesterdays Rainfall in Savannah Over
~ Inches.

Yesterdays Rainfall IN Savannah Over
IL Inches.
Yesterdays rainfall was one of the
heaviest here in some time, a fraction over
IL inches having fallen from $3.50 o'clock to
5 O'Clock. There was steady downpour in
that time. and many of the streets, pdr-
ticularly Barnard, Abercorn and Montgom-
cry, looked like small-szed lakes The
volume of water was too much for the
sewers to carry of and it backed out from
the cesspools into the street. The rain will
prove a great benefit to the Savannah
Electric railway on account Of unearthing
its Price street roadway, which has been
buried under several inches of sand for
many weeks.
South Of the city the storm was very Sc
we're. At Isle Of Hope and Montgomery the
wind blew a gale and the rainfall was
equally as great If not greater than 1t was
In the city.
The storm was general in this section of
the state, nearly every point in the Savan~
nah district of the signal service reporting a
heavy rainfall. Millen reported l. IS inches,
Quitman Il and Americas l inch. 1t was
the same throughout the cotton region,
every district except Mobile reporting a
rainfall from fraction to 1.0l inches.

PRE- TOUREL.

Good n earted January Died to Ooige
Els Unloving but Faithful May.
litter TIE french of Julien de tn, ioue
Father Tourel was an Old farmer who was
never tired of doing good. When old mother
Bardeau died he paid her funeral expenses.
Her daughter Annette came to thank him.
She had no home; his house was large; lie
tod her to stay there as long as she would.
"A good Idea" said the neghbors Later he
married her, and for five years they were
very happy together. That was before she
met Pierre BOulet, handsome young man
If %, who came with his father t. the house
to dine once q week. She loved her old hus-
band, but the feeling she had for Pierre was
u @ ute another charactar-so was his. She
was loyal to Father Tourel and the young
man had high sense of 10 or. They knew
what was going on In each others heart, but
they never spoke of love when alone.
Pierre found excuses to stay away from
the dinners, Annette went out to avoid
meeting him when he came.
Still the villagers began to talk, and the
MARE, who was an old friend OF Tourels,
told him about the current gossip.
"Ah," said the former, IF you only knew
how much | trust my wife" Still he re-
solved TO wat h them. He was not long in
satisfying himself that the two adored each
other.
They are in love. Good. But how do
they love! l will watch them little while
longer
The good man waited He sent for Pierre
on various pretexts, and arranged that he
should often be alone with Annette. Then
he would enter brusquely and try to reai
their eyes.
lie listened at keyholas. He followed
Pierre and Annette. He used every means
10 try to ascertain the real truth.
This lasted for six months.
1t was a great consolation for him to
know that though the young people loved
Zach other they would rather die than de-
ceive him.
He felt a great pity for the young girl
who was cbained TO an old man like himself
for life. Could she help having a heart? 1t
was only daughters love she could feel for
MIN.
Why. what right had an old man to fight
against love and youth. to keep two loving
cearts auart from each other forever?
His day was nearly over, and Annette
had given him five years Of happiness and
peace and devotion.
DO you know that Father Tourel was
found dead this morning in bedin said a
rlllager in a market place
"What did he die OFF, asked another.
They don't exactly kuow-perhaps an
apopletic stroke"
