In the Beginning

OF a new year, when the winter season of
close confinement is only half gone, many
ind that their health begins to break
down. that the least exposure threatens
sickness. 1t is then as well as at all other
times, and with people even in good
health, that the following facts should be
remembered, namely: that Hoods Sarsa-
parllla leads everything in the way of
medicines; that ii accomplishes the great
est cures in the world; has the largest sale
IN tne world, and requires the largest
building in the world devoted exclusiVeIv
to the preparation of the proprietary med
lcine. Does not this conclusively prove. if
you are sick, that Hoods Sarsaparilla is
the medicine for you to take?-ad.

ADVERTISING IN RELIGION.
Rev. l. p. Mendes Deprecates BILL
board Announcements.

Rev. l. P. Mendes at the Temple Mickva
Israel, in his discourse last night. treated
in an interesting manner the subject,
Advertising Religion"
The idea of his sermon was taken from
the fact that some of the Baptist churches
in northern cities had used billboards to
put up advertisements of sermons that
were to be delivered and treating of
other features of the services. He spoke
also of the old-fashioned religionist who
thought that the desire to praise God
should be the motive which brought peo-
pie out to church. Nowadays, be said
1t is the church attended by the greatest
number of fashionable people. that has
the most fashionable choir. and orchestral
music, and that is the most highly fres-
coed that attracts the largest crowds.
Mr.. Mendes deprecated this view Of
church-going people. and turned rather
to that of the man who sought the church
to praise his God.
The choif of the temple furnished some
excellent music for the services. 1t is
composed of Mr.. Frank L. Rebarer, di-
rector and tenor; Mr.. w. +. Blos. bass;
Miss DeCastro, alto, and Miss Besinger,
soprano. Miss Florrie Colding is the or

UNITED VETERANS WILLING.
Ready for a Union with the COnfed-
crate Veterans.


A meeting of the Lafayette McLaws
camp of United Confederate Veterans was
held in the superior court room at the
court house last night. President J. II.
Estill presided.
The matter OF union with the Confed-
crate Veterans Association was discussed
at some length. The members of the
United Confederate Veterans camp are
very much in favor of amalgamation, but
the camp has not as yet been approached
by the committee appointed by the asso-
citation to make the arrangements with
that end in view
The annual meeting of the Lafayette
McLaWs camp takes place on Jan. 49, and
it was suggested that it would be a good
idea to have the union brought about if
possible before that time, so that there
would be no conflict in the arrangements
for the celebration of Gen. Lees BIRTH
day, as well as for other reasons.
1t is probable that a meeting will be
called before Jan. 10 to consider these
questions and to make arrangements for
the celebration of Lees birthday. The
veterans decided to accept an invitation
from the Daughters of the Confederacy.

ments to that end will be made bv RE

THE MOBILE AND GTRARD,s CLAIM
The Centrars Receivers Asked ia
Hand over sos. 900.

ONNE fOCsUVVs
The Mobile and Girard railroad direc-
tors have filed claim against the receiv-
ers of the Central railroad for 81. 722 which
they claim as rental on the road from June
l, 1892. to Aug. u. 1898. when the receivers
under the order of court rendered the
property to the president and board of d.
rectors provided they did not wish them
to continue to operate ii and pay as rent
al only what was made as net earnings.
They have also made a claim for SIS 500
as interest on the outstanding bonds of
the company for that time, these claims
being made under the agreement which
existed. between the Mobile and Girard
and the Central. when it was operated as
one of the leased lines. In March, 1893,
however, that Mobile and Girard was
placed in the hands of Receivers Conner
and Hayes under a separate bill in the AL
ALBANIA courts.
The receivers of course have no funds in
hand for the payment of such claims and
will probably so state in the answers to
be made. The case is very complicated
one.

DeWolf Hopper and his comic opera
company will make their first appearance
in Savannah Monday night in DR. Syn
tax" The opera will also be seen here
for the first time. This symposium of
mirth and melody was originally presented
at the Broadway theater in New York
last season, and since its initial presenta-
tion many new and taking numbers have
been added to the score, the libretto has
been materially strengthened by new lines
and telling situations, and the humOr of
the opera has been greatly enhanced by
many clever specialues, and ii has proved
a most valuable acquisition to the come
dams extensive repertoire. Mr.. Hopper
impersondtes a jolly up-to-date peda
gogue, and very fond of the young ladies
who are pupils OF Minerva Academy, in
which he is a tutor.
The principal characters of the opera
are the young ladies', the principal and
subordinates of a swell boarding school,
and the students of a neighbOring college.
The love affairs OF the young. people,
which naturally spring UP, afford the
amusing complications in which Mr. Hop
per appears as benevolent genius. Niobe
Marsh, a charity pupil. is prosecuted by
ScOWles, a wicked professor of the col
who is the very opposite in char

the ranks of light comic opera Edna
