ing among his many Pooler friends last

Mr.. Steve Eady of Savannah visited the
family Of his sister, Mrs. j. W. Ham, last

Miss Minnie Otto Of Savannah returned
home last week after having spent very
pleasant two weeks stay with Mrs. James
| w. Ham.
Last week a party composed Of Messrs.
McEnerny, Mahany, Fogarty, O'Leary ana
Gather wood Of Savannah paid Pooler a
visit, and were more than delighted with
their trip In the piney town.
Mayor MoDonough of Savannah made
handsome donation last week, through
Dave L. Christian, toward the Catholic
church in Pooler. The congregation re-
turned its thanks to his honor for his kind
remembrance.
Last Sunday Messrs Wenzell and Paul
tWo or Savannah's fast bicycle riders, paid
a flying visit to friends in Pooler Pooler
is getting to be quite popular with long dis
lance riders, and we receive frequent visits
\ from them.
An effort Is to be made here to have better
school facilities and try and induce the au-
| thorities to purchase the school house and
use the whole building instead OF one floor,
as was the case last term. There is no
doubt shat we Poolerites will get what is
needed If it is gone at In the right way.
Last week the "Skidmoren string band
was out on a serenadinR tour and made the
woods ring with their music They called
on George Schroeder, who invited the boys
in, and they were royalty entertained. 1t
was nearing on to daylight when Prof.
Krenson returned TO the public garden to
break up.
Last week Capt. Frank Bevill assumed
| charge Of Uncle Mike Jordan's train and the
old veteran has been put on the Tybee run.
| Capt. Bevill is perfectly at home on these
trains and knows every man, woman and
| child on the run from Halcyondaie to Sa-
vannah. The superintendent could not have
suited the regular patrons better in his ap-
pointment if he had tried, as Capt. Frank
is an old favorite along the line.
Andrew Gray, step-son OF Mr.. Parsons, the
florist Of Savannah, has erected handsome
| 2-story house on Roth we'll street. Mr.. GRAY
has purchased twelve acres Of land and in
| tends starting nursery. Hot houses will
be built and no expense will be spared to
make 1t second to none in the county. The
handsome flowers grown in our open gar
dens are positive proof that a more suitable
soil could not be found anywhere for Mr..
| Gray's purpose.
During the past week Supt. McNeely Of
| the Central railroad sent up a carload of
coal cinders to be distributed around the
lofak A, all L
Agent Buren, has been busy shoveling for
the past few days, Mr.. McNeely, seeing
that he was filling long-felt want, has
| promised to send up several more carloads,
and, il necessary. will send enough to level
| up all the Central's land, so that the water
will not settle Ia pools around the waiting
| room. Poolerites we're delighted to see this
improvement and hope it will be completed.
The committee appointed at the citizens
| meeting to see about the drainage of Pooler
has been before the county commissioners
and is now ready to report back to the
| meeting and either be discharged or con-
tinued. A public meeting OF the citizens
will doubtless be called Immediately the
| report OF the committee be made and a
committee will be appointed to confer with
| County Engineer Blandford, who will be In
Pooler some day the coming week Nal
Blandford will come up to see how the land
lays, and a committee of citizens will meet
| him and aid him IN every way possible.
The "third Peoples party" meeting
| Thursday night was held at Parker e. Jer-
kins green grocery and was attended by
quite a large crowd. George H. Miller aud
II. J. Herb were the only speakers. The
| same grounds we're gone over by the speakers
that have been gone over all over the state
| and it is very doubtful il any converts were
| made. ID. l.. jackson, preside ut of the
Pooler Democratic Campaign Club, was
present with about forty members to give
the speakers an audience. There is no use
in trying to convert Poolerites to the third
party doctrine as they are true democrats
to the core and do not take any stock in their
new planks. II the democrats had remained
away from the meeting it would have
fallen with heavy thud, as there is not q
bakers dozen of the third party in Pooler.
The ice cream festival of the Pooler Cath
ole church took place Wednesday evening
in the Odd Fellows hall and was complete
success. string band from Savannah
was present and dancing was kept up all
night. Between each dance some useful
article was auctioned by William Burns,
one of the managers. In the contest for the
gold-headed walking cane. Master Davie
D. Christian, son OF Dave L. Christian, was
voted the most popular youth, and he was
presented the cane by Arthur
Kennickel in a neat speech. Quite
large crowd came up from
Savannah on the Sam train aud remained
all night. The managers have about $3.50
as q result Of the festival, and feel confident
that with the help that has been promised
in Savannah there will be no delay in get
ting the church built. The Catholic de-
nomination is growing In Pooler. The
managers OF the festival return their sincere
thanks to everybody who aided them, either
with their presence or cash.
