prominent Andrews
dinners, and it was no exception on this
occasion. 1t was responded TO by Hon.
Pope Barrow, who said for a long time
he thought it was wei for a man to
live in the place where he was born.
But, he said, 1 finally concluded that IL
was no compliment for a man 10 be
born in a place. because he didn't exer-
else his own volition in coming there. But
when man looks around and selects
where he shall live he said the
man hOnored the place he chose
10 live in, because he chose it of his own
voltion. he said no city was ever founded
by people being born there. because there

don in its behalf. In losing its control. he
said. Savannah had lost the control of
her own commerce, but fortunately plan
was on foot by which justice would be
q one in part to the security holders, and he
deplored anything that would interfere
with its success Savannah, however, he
said, would never again secure its control,
and the thing for Its people to do was to
take up the work that William W. Gordon
left off and build another railroad.
Unfortunately, the illness of Mr.. F. z.
Rebarer prevented his being present and
taking part in the programme. In his place
Mr.. Thomas Dykes sang who Deeply
Drinks of Wine" His selection was much
enjoyed.
The toast. "Our Sister Societies." was
responded to in a very pleasant manner
BY Maj. Edward Karow. Maj Karow
said he was sure he voiced the sentiments
of all the sister societies when he re-
turned congratulations to the society on
its so successfully reaching its 144th an
niversary. He spoke Of the charitable
work of these societies and of the inn
portance of preserving their national
integrity, be they Scotch, or Irish, or
German, or any other nationality. He
said the sister societies of st. Andrews
could not do better than follow in its
lead. He made some interesting refer
ences to the work of other societies, and
spoke strongly in behalf of a more sis
terly unity between them.

Mr.. John Nicholson, Jr., responded to
the toast Our Invited Guests" He spoke
of the ancient Anglo-Saxon customs
around the festal board and the hospitable
treatment of guests at all times; of the
fraternal feeling between host and guest,
in which the one treated the other with
the greatest honor and respect. He said
those feelings had extended to the pres
ent day, and he applied them especially to
the hOspitable treatment of their guests
by the members of St Andrews Society.

in which the sentiment was received and
attributed the enthusiasm to that rather
than the speaker. He said the st. An

stitution, and it stuck to haggis, hot
Scotch, and, above ALL the

Mr.. Saussy referred to the old st. Andrews
toast list, and his remarks upon it were
humorous and interesting. One of the
toasts, he said, was the Beggars' Benson,
and he thought that had been superseded
by Our Invited Guests. Last of all was
the Bonnie Lassles that HE Among the
Heather, and he said they didn't seem
to be afraid to do so. He spoke of woman
