The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1892-05-08

What is the use to say anything about
spring. Everybody knows it is here. Not
alone by the weather, but with beat of
drum and the rum-tum-tumn the time for
picnios is advancing, and the very air seems
filed with music and gladness. Another
unmistakable sign of the season is the spring
house cleaning. 1t is one Of those necessary
evils, always dreaded but always gone
through with, and. maybe, enjoyed after it
is finished. 1t is the time the men think they
are Inconvenience and badly used /;

twenty knows the cleaning" is in progress
until informed of the fact. What great
thing imagination is! Well, there is clean
ing indoors and out, and everything is be-
ing put in holiday attire for the all-festive
May week. Hundreds of strangers will be
charmed with Savannah, for the city is in-
deed beautiful just now.
