sweetened water, and they begged for it.
Afterwards my little girl became restless
at night, would scream as if in nightmare
every little while until after II or
o'clock commenced giving her your
REMEDY on Thursday night, and Sat
urday night she was resting quietly. l
shall continue to use it for my children.
Yours very truly,
MRS. M. s. WITHERINGTON.

Der 40 have visited the island via a road
and causeway on Oatland Island, a bridge
over Oatland creek, and public road
over Whitemarsh. The judges of the IN
ferior court sixty-two years ago, unlike
the county commissioners of the present
day. seem to have recognized the two is
lands as constituent parts of Chatham
county, for they supplied facilities Tor
which we have been Yainly petitioning Tor
twenty years, Notwithstanding the num-
Der Of freeholders has increased 10 elShty-
eight and the taxes to $500; and although
a factory is now located here, which, when
In fuu operation in the winter, employs
go laborers. In field and factory during
June and the present month l2o nave
sometimes been employed for canning veg
etables. Besides this island Is
becoming the principal and healthiest sea
island summer resort for the people OF
Savannah. The unimproved land OF the
wilmington Island Pleasure and Improve
ment Company has been returned for tax
alton at about the rate of $50 per acre.
OF the 25s lots in which it has been divided
lO2 have been sold and twenty y-nine are i'm
proved. The remaining frontage alone not
owned by the Wilmington Island Pleasure
and Improvement Company, on the wide
river, will afford space for 6l3 more OF
these dimensions. OF course, a safe ana
direct connection with the main land Will
stimulate improvements and materially in
crease the value of taxable property.
Taxes have been regularly paid, but we
have met with no consideration from the
county commissioners than If We had been
South Sea islanders.
Does there exist anywhere else In Chat
ham county a non-continuous public road?
Are there anywhere else 500 acres OF ara
BILE land separated on the public road from
the balance of her domain by an impassa-
BILE bog? And. finally, where else in the
state of Georgia is such a body of her
citizens and taxpayers debarred from
reaching the capital of the county for
want of A public road? II these disgrace
full conditions prevailed on the main land,
under the public eye. they would reflect
so injuriously upon the county commits
sloners that remedies would be applied
within the shortest possible period OF
time.
The recent boards OF county commits
sioners are to be commended for all their
progressive accomplishments, so condu-
Give to public prosperity, but If they may
build expensive improved roads elsewhere,
If they may construct such road 10 a
point already supplied with a good road,
If they may provide rife ranges and un-
dertake, unwisely, to drain an island OF
sea sand twice as distant from the city
by means of open bitches which must
have been closed up and become useless
by the first heavy rain without the con-
slant care Of the residents, the taxpayers
OF these two islands are surely, in SIM
pie justice, entitled to a cheap, continu-
Gus and passable dirt road by which they
most conveniently may reach the main
land.
