T, A. Skidmore of Brooklyn has been a
guest of the Pulaski house for the last tw o

suburbs and large portion of the city red
aud various other colors.
Mr.. Skidmore is the man who paints signs
on houses and fences such as "Castoria :"
"Pyle's Peariine," "Beckett's Blue" aud the
various other we'll known signs that adorn
the walls and fences along every rail-

Advertising Agency OF Brooklyn. His bill
head announced that he is the Originator
of painting signs on roofs OF barns,n and
that he has painted more walls, barns, rocks

the world.'
He came south this time exclusively for
Castoria, in the interest of which he has
spread the name of that remedy all the way
from New York to Savannah, and will CON
tlnue to do so until he reaches New Orleans.
He has painted nearly 100 signs Of this kind
in and near Savannah.

CUT OFF A coRpsE's LEFT HAND.

a Negro Conjurer Robs q Grave to
Work a Spell Upon an Enemy.
The most CHASTITY piece of voudoo work
that has probably ever come to light in tlis
state is reported from Bulloch county by
turpentine distiller who was in Savannah
recently, and told it to the naval stores
men here.
Some time ago a negro working on the
dstiller's farm died, and was buried on the
place one Sunday morning. Several weeks
afterward a crowd of negroes came to the
dlstillers house and informed him thai the
grave of the negro that had died had been
opened. and that something was wrong
there.
The gentleman accompanied the negroes
| back to the grave and found that the body
| had been dug up, and the coffin opened aud
| the left hand of the dead man severed from
| the body. He was at loss what to make
| OF it. There was only one track leading
| from the grave aud that was traced TO the
| house of negro living near by. The
negroes asserted that this negro was q con-
| iurer, and they fastened upon him the crime
| OF digging up the dead mans body and TAX
| ing Off the left hand.
The negro had a pistol stolen some time
before, and he had threatened to conjure tho
man who stole it If he did not bring it back,
| and this was the object he had in stealing
the hand of the dead man.
lie must have intended to work a spell
upon his enemy, because it is seldom that
one of the pretended conjurers goes TO such
q length as that. What makes it more
strange is the natural horroc in which a
negro holds a graveyard and everything
pertaining to the dead. Not one in five
hundred will stay alone in a house with q
dead person, aud how this fellow nerved
himself to dig up dead body alone at
night is miracle

ANorHEa LICENSE REVOKED.

A Sac ond Violation of the Sunday Law
Costs q Saloonkeeper His Business.
Another saloonkeeper has lost his license
for being foolhardy enough to triAe with
the Sunday law a second time.
Several months ago John NJ. Denmark,
who keeps a saloon on Zubly street, was
fined 500 for selling liquor on Sunday, aud
was given the usual warning, but it d dn't
seem to have had tho proper effect.
Mayor McDonough. a few days ago, re-
ceived information that Denmark
had sold liquor to Ann Harris, a
colored woman. Sunday, July 20. He
summoned both Denmark end the Har-
ris woman TO the police court yesterday
morning The woman swore positively
that she had bought whisky from Denmark
himself and DRANK it on the premises at .
o'clock that night.
Denmark ma6Ge a rather weak defense.
He denied that the liquor had been sold, but
couldn't prove it. Mavor McDonough fined
him 500 and revoked his license. Denmark
gave bond and appealed the case to the
council, which seems to have become the
practice lately in order to stay the collection
of the fines for a while.

man, were summoned TO answer charges on

S25 Penalty From Now On.
1t seems to be difficult matter to edu-

have been put on the information docket
for making short cuts across the plats.
The paths have not been obliterated, and
IN most instances the J-penalty-for- cross

and then only a few inches above the

ignominy of facing the police court for
violating the low he had helped to frame.

the offenders every day with lecture to go
