The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1897-07-25

In spite Of the fact that the grass has
never been more green. or the parks and
squares more inviting than after this rainy
July. the streets are almost deserted and
for social purposes the town is almost
dead. Going going, gone That is about
all one can say for the Savannahians.
From Tybee, Button. St. Simons come
rumors of balls and such seaside gayety
but they are bits of news from PAGES
where one can lie ON the beach and lock
at the water instead Of sitting in tene-

Some one has asked why people do not
talk and write more of the glorious

yoa were going. l am not In need of
clothes or money! But if I had a golf
club and some balls and a collection OF
flag buttons 1 should be glad" He is
evidently not Of the same disposition as
another small boy, an English citizen and
a member Of royalty. But then the latter
has exceptional advantages. OF him

tops at interest to his cousins, the little
Connaughts, and on one occasion got up
quite a little corner in dolls which he
succeeded in purchasing al great reduc-

travagance, but, unabashed. wrote to his
grandmamma. The queen had probably
been warned, for she replied in the same
strain OF remonstrance. whereupon the
young prince responded as under: Dear

Truly the English may cease to talk OF
the money-loving American.
To return TO older folks. The breaking
up Of Camp Roosevelt and the advent OF
the Wilmingtons officers has caused quite
little stir. a large bah was arranged
at Hotel Tyhee for them on Friday even
