SAVANNAH'S LIVE AND EN-

Up the City's Growth-Live
Business Men Who Advertise
their Goods.
With every recurring annual trade re-
view there is the same story 10 be told,
namely, that the city is growing and its
business men are prospecting. OF course
the low price of cotton and the consequent
tghtness of money with farmers has
affected trade here as IL has elsewhere, but
the depression has not brought disaster to
the merchants Of Savannah as IL has to
those OF many other places. The reason for
this state ofaffairs is selfevident The bush
ness men of Savannah have not stood at
the street corners with their hands in the
pockets, crying hard times hard times
but have gone to work and opened new
avenues of trade and restored the business
equilibrium. The new railroad the South
Bound, was not opened at the date of our
last trade issue. 1t was predicted that it
would bring TO Savannah a great addition
to her trade and the prediction has proved
to be correct, Before our issue of 1898 goes
to press, there will be another railroad
from this city to Florida, passing through
Brunswick, Darien and st. Marys, and
opening up large area Of country that
practically has never been settled, except
on the old plantation system. Doubtless
other railroads will be here by that time,
as there is considerable energy and &C.
tivity in the Middle Georgia and Atlantic
r.. X. syndicate, and the "Sam" road pro
jectors will, it seems, never rest until one
end Of that long line rests upon the banks
of the Savannah River.
The harbor Improvement question has
been finally settled by Congress appro-
priating enough money to make a 26-foot
channel from the city front to the ocean.
Every additional foot Of water means
thousands of tons of more commerce. To
the best and deepest bar and anchorage
on the South Atlantic viii be added deeper
water TO the wharves Of the most pro-
gressive commercial city OF the South.
Savannahs steady increase in area and
population is the best evidence OF the
growth of her trade. One follows the other,
and real estate keeps advancing in value,
not with q "boom," but with a steadiness
that indicates stability. New houses are
being built in every part Of the city and are
engaged by tenants before they are COM
pleted.
A feet Of steamships and sailing vessels
is constantly going and coming, giving
employment to merchants, clerks and
longshoremen. Foundrys and factories,
incidental TO the business of great city,
add their thousands of employees TO the
tbrongs, which, with the wholesale and |
retail merchants and their clerks and !
attaches, make Savannah the busy pro-
gressive city that she is.
There is no place that is more happily
situated than this city of ours. Let the
wind blow as 1t may it means prosperity to
her and the people within her gates.
Those who advertise the most get the
greatest benefit from business breezes.
