sAvANNAHIANs SATISFIED.

The Discomfort of National COmpIi-
cations and the Pleasure of Good
Living.
While wars and rumors of wars, foreign,
financial and political troubles, the Mon
roe doctrine. the movement of the flying
squadron, the price of spirits turpentine
and cotton disturbs the general business
of the country, the citizens of Savannah
are resting easy and living well.
They are not only enjoying themselves
with banquets and entertainments, that
are in keeping with the season, but they
are healthy set. Much of their happiness
is due to what they eat. Those who deal
with Logan, are the brightest and the
most healthy. They get good healthy food.
Food selected by experts in the business
and food that tempts the appetites of every
body.
There are other features that make it
a pleasure and a satisfaction to deal with
Logan. There's no trouble caused by mis-
takes in orders. You say what you want
and you get ii promptly. No lady ever hes
itates in sending an order to Logan, as
she is sure she will get the best the mar
ket affords.-ad.

Being Filled In.

About $50 trees We're planted in the
squares of the city during last week under
the supervision of the public works COM
missioner, according to the direction of
the park and tree commission.
There is hardly square in the city in
which several trees are not needed The
work of filling in the vacant places in
the squares and on the streets will be
continued this week. Owing to the
lateness of the season and the inexperi-
ence Of the commissioners, only those
trees are being selected which are known
to grow most readily in this climate. The
varieties now being planted are live oak,
elm and magnolia.
The old cemetery is being plowed over
for the purpose of loosening the soil and
leveling the surface. After blowing the
ground will be narrowed and then leveled.
