Jasper Handle Works.
A Well Established Indus
try.-One that the
Valley May Be
Proud of.

In the now almost forgotten times
when every town and hamlet was
out Heroiing each other in claiming
works of such magnitude as to as
tonish the distant reader, corpora
tions sprang up like mushrooms, and
as invariably the majority of the
stockholders held Office and drew
salaries but like the fungi mentioned
they as quickly faded away. One Of
them was the Bayne Manufacturing

utilized by the Jasper Handle works

successfully
The factory is situated at the north
end Of Jasper, on the west side of the

connects with the works. The bald

Accompanied by Mr.. A. r. Hall
Secretary and treasurer, we paid a
visit to the factory and as we trust
our readers will appreciate anything
meritorious we take them with us on

THE SHIPS STILL AT TYBEE.
They VIII BE Brought Up 10 Fort
OgIethOrpe To-day.

There was considerable disappointment
that the cruisers Atlanta and Raleigh did
not come up the river. They will move
up to Fort Oglethorpe on the high tide at
noon to-day. Word could not be gotten
to the ships in time Monday night to have
them moved up on the high tide yesterday
At Fort Oglethorpe the vessels will be
within easy reach Of the city by steamboat
and passengers can be landed directly
aboard the vessels without difficulty,
which could not be done twenty miles fur
Their down the river
Excursions will be run to the ships dur
ing their stay. There has been a good
deal OF squabbling as to what steamers
Will be allowed TO land passengers on the
ships. Many people who would like to
visit the cruisers are in doubt whether to
make the attempt not knowing whether
they are going to get on board.
The coast defender Amphitrite Is ex-
pected up to the city by morning. This Is
a genuine lighting ship which will be right
at the city, where everybody can inspect
her without any more trouble than just
going aboard. Capts Cromwell and Miller
and several Of their officers went down to
their ships yesterday for the purpose of
bringing them up the river. Many of the
ofhcers remained In the city, however and
took IN the sights with the assistance of
the entertainment committee. The privi-
leges of all the clubs We're extended to

a pleasant day yesterday, and most of

with but one exception Those OF the
officers who have wives at their homes
say they were unfortunate in not having
had a little longer notice of the fact that
they were to come to Savannah. Fur

is seldom that they strike an American
