THERE Is am enormous tree !

THERE is an enormous tree in
the 0cmulgee river swamp,
near Albbeville Ga, that rivals
the famous giants of the Cali
fornia forests. The tree is of
the tupelo gum variety and is
evidently of great age, and
doubtless was inhabited by the
Indians in the prehistoric age
of this country. The tree is hol-
low at the base, with an aper.
ture large enough to admit a
tall man. The hollow extends
upward for a distance of fifteen
feet, affording space enough
for two stories. The hollow al
the base is twelve feet in diane
ter.

THE FIRST BIG SALE.

Lots on Estill and South Avenues
Bring $24o to 1878.
The FIRST large sale of lots this season took
place yesterday. The property offered was
four blocks of lots on Estill and South ave-
nues.
About 80 o'clock Mr.. G. n. Dorsett, auc-
tioneer, began the sale by offering a lot on
the northwest corner of Estill avenue and
Habersham street. The sun had just got TO
al angle that made it intensely hot and bid-
ders put in their bids very slowly. Mr..
Dorsett, however, did not knock the first
lot down until he got 1915 for 1t. This was
the highest price paid for lot.
After selling half of the offerings the
auctioneer announced that the sale would
close, as he had to leave the city by an early
evening train. He stated that as the prices
were established by the sales of the after
noon parties who desired purchasing unsold
lots could do so at private sale by calling at
his Office. The lots brought from s24O to
1915 each. The average price was 1881 per
lot. Considering the tight money
market and the general quiet
that exists at this season Of the year, the
prices paid were satisfactory. The figures
show that the people of Savannah have
every confidence in'the future of their city
and that it only needs a let up In the fna !.
cial condition Of the country to produce au-
other great advance in real estate in the
commercial emporium Of the south.

TALKS WITH PIANO BUYERS.
No. 6.


Now that you know some OF the insji,
facts about the piano trade, and realiza
perhaps, some of the difficulties In the w. w.,
OF selecting really good instrument. Let me-
tell you something of the history of The
pianos we have been identified with SO man,
years. There are several very celebrata3
names among the piano makers of tha
world. "Broadwood" is household mama
IN England; 'Beckstein" is equally VII
known on the continent, but it is no exao-
geration to say that the name Of "CbicEar-
ing" is famous the world over. A mornent,-
reflection will convince any one that thera
must be solid reason for this. No niano
could make itself name in the cultnraJ
centerj of Europe unless it had merits Of
most decided and peculiar order. Now. the
TACT Is that the Chickering piano, eboye ali
others, has been from its birth the leader in
every great improvement knoc,1 IN ~
modern pidnO-forte. Jonas Chickerin,'
the founder Of the great house of ChioksSr,'
ing Sons, had positive genius for piano
construction, and when his Instruments
were exhibited at the great Paris ETno,;@
ton of 1866 they excited more atteption
than any pianos produced up to that tins
and so great was the interest excited kbos
Mr. Chickeriug received from the emperor
the cross of the Legion of Honor. the moss
distinguished mark of approval aver ho
slowed upon any piano. From that dav 70
the present the Chickering has nainteinad
It's position, and while it has a few wortb-
rivals. it remains the very best exarnnIa 90
all that piano ought to be. Like svsrr
really meritorious thing. this piano has ~
enemies and detractors. The best answer ro
be made them is that the firm of Chickerino.
& Sons has made nearly 80, 900 pianos-morss
than double that of any other manufnc-
turer. and of late years their OUTPUT has
steadily increased, being in 1888 nearly
double what it was In 1873.
IL you can afford to buy tho verv besh

| SHOT AND THEN ROBBED.
A HEBREW PEODLES EELD Up IN
BRYAN COUNTY.

Abraham lKsssel Probably Fatally
Wounded and P.undsrsd of S2OO-A
Run away Marriage With a Christian
Girl Believed TO Be the Cause of the
Shooting.
Abraham Kassel Hebrew peddlsr, was
shot and robbed Of $500 by unknown par
ties in Bryan county, about eight miles
above Clyde, Saturday night, while on his
return from peddhng trip.
The would-be assassin used a double
barreled shotgun loaded with mixed shot and
the charge lodged in the back and Shout
ders and the back part of Kassel's head, in
fiicting very serious If not dangerous
wounds.
Suspicion rested upon young man who
will no doubt be arrested, if he is not
already under arrest. There was some
feeling against the peddler among few
young men in the county on account of his
marriage to Christian girl.
August Kassel eloped with the daughter
OF II. h. Schumann, wealthy resident of
Bryan county. Schumann was deeply NOR.
titled as well as indignant at the marriage,
but finally relented and took
the couple back to his house.
Several young men were paying attention
to the young woman, aud the idea of the
willy peddler marrying her rather crushed
them.
The shooting occurred four miles from
kassePs father-in laws house. Mr.. Thomp-
son, clerk for R. Washington Olive, who
brought in the report of the shooting, says
it Is the belief that Kassel's wounds are
fatal
