matronly bride must measure the lapse
 of years by the stature of her manly sor and sweet, lovable daughters, rather
 than by the usual method of silver thread and wrinkles, while the dainty repast which was served suggested the surest way of keeping mans affection,as well as winning it. Solomon must have had just such a woman in his minds eye when he wrote his discourse on aThe excellent woman." Saturday evening, June 3, friends and relatives to the number of about 79, wishing to show their appreci- ation of kind friend and neighbor, in fiicted upon Mir and Mrs Edgar Alvord of ssShadyside'' that abomination of desola- tion, spoken of by Samanthy Allen as a ''s'prisen party, in honor of the 18th an- niversary of their marriage. A bounti- full table was spread, loving remembran- ces were presented, speeches were made and ''all went merry as 8 marriage bell. 3 Among the guests from out-of-town were Mrs Waugh and the Misses Waugh from Thomaston, Mrs Fred Fairchild and the Masters Norway of Watertown, MT and Mrs Cowles of Torrington, Mrs Pendle- ton and children of Winchester, William Flowers and family and Mir Gum of Bethlehem.

THE GRANGE"
Where and What 1t rs.

just about six miles directly west of
the city exchange in Savannah, on the
Augusta road is one of the prettiest
pieces of farm land in Chatham county.
The Augusta (publicl road cuts it in two,
the piece on the south extends across the
Charleston and Savannah railway and
nearly to the South Bound railroad. The
other and larger piece on the north of the
Augusta road extends to the Savannah
river.
A fine broad road called 'the Grange
avenue" has been cut and graded through
the tract terminating at the high bluff at
the river amid the grand old oaks, which
make this natural park
Fronting and on each side of the Grange
avenue there are about 100 5-acre farms,
admirably situated to ship their produce
by the railroad at one end of the avenue or
by the river at the other end. This land
is well adapted to raising vegetables or
fruit, and with the continued demand for
lands in this county must prove most
advantageous vestment.
1t is well known fact that many of
the farms near the city have in the last
few years been bought up by land COM
panies and subdivided into building lots.
Many of them will now command such
high prices that cheaper lands for culti-
walton must be had. 1t is safe to say that
there is no land within the radius of four
miles from the city that can now be pur-
chased at prices that will pay to cult
vate
The demand for small pieces of land
from the large class of persons who be-
lieve that land is the best investment is
gradually absorbing all of the smaller
tracts There are many who would like
to own five acres of land well located
and sure to increase in value. Some of
these people have an immediate use for
such place; some have plans for the
future, when they grow older and
want some place like this to fall back
| upon. Others want such a place as a
sure investment for their children, some
thing as sure as savings bank, yet pay
ing much larger interest.
To all such the Grange is offered, be-
lieving that it will meet all their require
ments.
The terms are made easy so that the
| payments are gradual and will not be
felt.
If a fitting, profitable investment is
| wanted for child, the expenditure
amounts 10 but little, but will amount to
! large profit by the time it is needed for
| educational or other purposes.
The river frontage referred to as nat
| ural park rivals Bonaventure in its wild
beauty. To see this land and to give an
opportunity to Judge of its merits an ex-
cursion has been arranged for Wednesday
next, 21st inst The Ethel will leave
| Abercorn street at p. m, and will re-
turn before dark. A lunch will be fur
| nished free, so that there need be no de-
| lay about dinner.
A pleasant afternoon can be spent, as
the trip up the river is fun of interest
The terms are $50 cash and s. per
| month. Interest on deferred payments.
No charge for papers.

Rev. w. F. Smith Think the Sabbath
Was Made for Man and Not Vice
Versa.
At Grace church yesterday Rev. w. F.
Smith preached on the subject, "The
Signs of the Times" taking his text from
Matthew xvi, 8. In connection with this
he referred to the Sabbath observance as
one of the topics of the present time to
which much attention is being attracted
He referred to DR. Lyman Abbott's re-
cent mastery sermon and dwelt especially
upon the Sabbath as holiday, showing
that it was made for man -and not man for
the Sabbath Man, he said, needed the
Sabbath and while Christ meant
to refute the extreme Sabbatarian view
he is no way Endorsed loose methods of
observing this holy day. The decalogue
was the foundation upon which the
church was1 built and if anything was
taken from 1t the law would of course be
weakened
Man, he said, does not need less but
more and better religion, and until pub
lie sentiment changes, very little can be
done toward correcting Sabbath day
evils, as people are controlled to great
extent by public sentiment.

Hearing Evidence in the Central
Railroad Cases in Baltimore.

George W. Owens. Esq, who was APP
pointed special master IN chancery in the
Central railroad litigation. has been in
Baltimore for the past few days hearing
testimony in the suit Of Alexander Brown
a Sons vs. the Central Railroad and
Banking Company.
The testimony was taken at the ONCE
Of Marshal, Mabury 4 Bowdoin and is
said to have developed some startling
facts. Pat. Calhoun, Esq, was on hand
TO represent the plaintiff, and A. Il. Law
ton, Jr., represented the Central railroad
and the receiver.
I'm the course of the hearing" says
the Baltimore Herald, letters were
offered in evidence tending to show that
Henry James & Co. lumber merCha nts on
Aliceanna street. this city, had been re-
quested to bill lunbe to the company,
which they had offered for S37 so. at $40
per 600 feet The Baltimore firm. how
ever promptly declined TO lend itself TO
any such transactions Nathaniel w
James produced the correspondence ofhis
firm with Hopkins & Schley of Atlanta,
from which it appears that similar prOpO-
sitions were made to firms in other cities,
and such transactions had taken place
without protest on their part. Hopkins
& Schley acted as brokers for the rail
road company, and in their letters ex-
pressed surprise that Henry James Il Co.
should not have taken advantage of the
proposition and should have declined to
permit them to make this profit out of the
concern ...
The Baltimore American and the News
both made similar statements in regard
to the report of the evidence as quoted
above, and they make the charge, pre-
sumably obtained from the Brown side of
the case, that the reorganization plan was
formulated with view to cutting down
the junior security holders. The Balti-
more papers state that Mr.. Brown says
he was entirely satisfied with the result
of the examination, and that it proved
acknowledgement on the part of the re-
eiver, as was alleged in his bill

MAY Be HEIR TO MILLIONS
Charles HetteriCh Thinks the Dead
German Millionaire Was a Relative.

The Description and Story of the
Fabulous Accumulation Fits His
Granduncle-If the Relationship is
Established the Savannahian will
Come in for 80, SOC, ooo-An Investi-
cation OF the Affair Being Made.
If the story published in the New York
papers to the effect that George Hotter
lex recently died in Germany and left
$40, 0O0,O 900 to be divided among his heirs
is true well-known young Savannahian
will soon be a millionaire.
Mr.. Charles Hetterich, candy man
ufacturer at Macon and Whitaker streets,
will be the lucky man. He has written to
New York and Germany to find out the
particulars of the death of the million
aire, who he believes was his grand uncle.
The facts as to the manner in which Mr..
Hetterich accumulated his fabulous
wealth tallies exactly with information
Savannah's MIR. Hetterich has received
at different times about his granduncle.
Mrs. Hetterich says that when she was
married thirty-seven years ago in Weis-
baden, an uncle of her husband named
George Hetterich attended the wedding.
and twenty years ago she heard he was
getting rich there in silver mining.
The story now going the rounds of the
northern press is that the dead million
aire, George Hetterich, accumulated his
immense fortune in silver mining in South
America and returned to Germany in
search of health, only to die there
shortly after his arrival. leaving a
will to the effect that his fortune shall be
equally divided among his relatives.
These facts make out strong circum-
stantial case. The New York Herald dis
covered one of these heirs in the metropolis
in the person of Adolph Hetterich,
plush box maker, and it was through a
comment on the Herald's article in the
MORNING News a few days ago that Mr.
Charles Hetterich got the tip that he was
also an heir to the silver miners millions,
as he is first cousin of the alleged New
| York heir Mr.. Hetterich wrote to
that relative a few DAYS ago and he eX-
poets reply tomorrow or next day.
Mr.. Hetterich and his mother are not
at all excited over the possible future in
store for them, but they propose to in
vestigate the matter thoroughly to find
out if there is any truth in it. If future
developments bear out the story and
prove Mr. Hetterich to be one of the heirs
he will go to Germany and look after his
interests in person.
Mrs. Hetterich says if the dead million
aire and her husbands uncle were one
and the same person there are not more
than twenty-five relatives to share in the
money. This would give each the snug
sum of 81, 500, 900, which would be nice

A HEALTHY SUMMER.
Physicians Say This Season Will Be
the Best in Years.

The majority of Savannah's physic-
ians predict that this summer will
be the healtbiest the city has ex-
perienced in years. "If things keep
up at the present rate said one physi-
clan in speaking of the unusual scarcity
of sickness, "the doctors can take vaca-
ton this summer with ease. Even the
children are healthier than ever before in
my experience. Usually at this season
there is an abundance of summer com
plant among children, but so far this
summer is an exception TO the rule, and
believe viii remain so during the heated
term.
"A few days ago l compared my note
book of June, 1892, with that of this year
to get comparison on summer COM
plants, and to my surprise l found that
where l attended dozen children last
year for these troubles 1 only attended
about an average Of one this year"
This is gratifying state Of affairs and
no one will object to the doctors taking
extended vacations under the circum-
stances ..-..-- r--
