ASuecessful Season.

Notwithstanding the financial
troubles that have beset us this
winter, ]. w. Sylvester, the wide
awake manager of the Marion opera
house has furnished our people
with a season fraught with many
attractions which have contributed
their full share towards a winters
enjoyment. Mr.. Sylvester Sc
cured for us more and better at
fractions than played at any town
south of Jacksonville.
Among the best of these COM
panies our, people will remember
with pleasure, a few of the leading
ones: Minnie Maddern Fiske, who
is now playing to crowded theaters
in New York city; Robins,n opera
company, Oliver Byron. Barlow
Bros minstIels, Oscar Sissor, Toll
sons comm edians, the Fast Mail
and Remenyi the great violinist.
The fist and last of them only
playing in one other place in the
state. 1t was only after great ef.
forts on the part of Mr.. Sylvester,
and with several large guarantees
that we were enabled to have so
many high class amusements,
which by the way are an absolute
necessity to the social success of a
city. Mr.. Sylvester has for years
made study of this business and
is thoroughly posted on stage mat
tiers, is familiar with every show on
the road, thus giving linn the ad'
vantage ef knowing who to book
and who to let alone.
Money matters will be better
with us next season and he is pre-.
pairing to give US an urprecsdente d
series of attractions.

MERCHANTS AND EXCURSIONS
WOULD BRING CT OWDs OF PEOPLE
TO SAVANNAH NOW.

The Merchants Association to Con-
fer With the railroads With n
View to Secure Low Rate Excur-
sfons on All tie Roads For the
Holiday SensO-The Advantage
of Excavations td the City.
The retail merchants are considering the
matter of holiday Excursions similar to
those which were rim last season from
all non-competitive points within a ra-
dius of 100 miles of Savannah. A meeting
of the Merchants Association will be call
ed by the president, Mr.. B. H. Levy, with
in the next few da1s and steps taken to-
ward interesting tn, railroads in the mat
ter.
The near approach of the holidays has
brought the idea .orward. 1t is a well
known fact that large volume of bust
ness is done by the merchants of the city
during this season and particularly is this
the case with the ietail houses. Business
will begin to movs along about the first
of the month, and the aim of the mer-
chants is to arringe the excursions If
possible, and transact the largest volnme
of retail business for years. This can
only be done, however, by agitating the
matter and getting the traffic officials of
the different lines to take 1t under serious
consideration. The merchants are fully
aware of the advantages to be gained from
the excursions and intend to make a COM
bined effort to interest the railroads.
Mr. B. H. Levy, president of the asso-
citation, says he is heartily in favor of hav-
ing the excursions and thinks the mer-
chants could cooperate with the roads in
such a way as to make the travel mutu-
ally profitable. He says the business men
would offer special inducements to out-of-
town buyers, and put prices on goods that
would draw them to Savannah. Mr.. Levy
believes that thousands of dollars of bust
ness can be drawn to this city if the holt
day excursions are arranged
The vice president of the association, Mr..
Leopold Adler, is also of the opinion that
the excursions should be arranged and
says that he will give the matter every
possible encouragement. The advance in
business would amount to much and the
merchants would offer inducements he
said which would attract thousands of
people to Savannah during the holidays.
The matter will be thoroughly discussed
al the meeting and definite steps will be
taken to secure the excursions. The Mer-
chants Association will communicate with
the railroads and state just what they are
willing to do to attract people to the city.
1t is said they intend to make PROPOSE
ton such as will have the effect of en-
listing the interest of the different lines.
The excursions just at this time, after
a long period of quarantine, when traffic
has been restricted and there has been a
feeling of uncertainty in business circles,
will, it is believed, bring more people to
the city than at any other time.

death turns aside and whose frst-born es-
cape unscathed while the children of others
perish. The chosen people are the healthy
people. Nine-tenths of the deaths among
children are due to the ill-health of the
mothers during the period preceding moth
erhood. Every woman owes it to herself her
husband and her children to keep herself
healthy in womanly way. She should
thoroughly understand her own physical
makeup. She should realize the import
lance of keeping the organs of womanhood
healthy and vigorous. She can only do this
by taking proper care of herself and using
the proper remedy for weakness or disease
of those organs.
The best remedy forweakness or disease of
the organs peculiar to women is Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. 1t is truly wonderful
in its effects on the female organism 1t
allays Inflammation, soothes pain and re-
stores health and vigor. Get it at the drug

CONTEST OF DEXTERTTY.

ing Tournament.
"A somewhat unique team contest, in
which all of the grocers and grocery
clerks in the city were interested, was
held at the store of the Drayton Grocery
Company, on Whitaker street, Tuesday
night. 1t was a tournament of dizziness
in Weighing and making up packages, and
the competitors were Messrs Leigh NJ.
White and George H. Ellis of the Estate
of S. w. Branch, and Thomas w. Lyons
and T. NJ. Hazlehurst of the Drayton com
pany. The judges were Messrs. John II.
West, o. r. Pace and Thomas Halligan,
Jr. Under the articles of agreement the
contestants were to put up sixteen pack
ages of grist, containing twelve pounds
each; the barrels were to contain only
1856 pounds each at the commencement of
the contest and each package was re-
quired to come within two ounces of the
prescribed weight under penalty of ten
seconds time, to be charged against the
team for each package above or below
weight.
When time was called, the way the MIN
BILE fingers few was a caution. The
swish" of the scoops into the barrels
and the ''click' of the scales as the pack
ages were weighed were almost automat-
ic, and the packages tumbled out, com
plete and tied, as though they were COM
ing from machines. At the conclusion of
the contest the judges declared Messrs.
White and Ellis the winners time 2 min
uets 40 seconds. The time of Messrs.
Lyons and Hazlehurst was minutes The
Branch team had four packages and the
Drayton team eight packages thrown out
for shortage or overpius of weight. In
the midst of the contest Mr.. Lyons had
the misfortune to drop a package, which
cost him some seconds. II was a pretty
and spirited contest, which did great credit
to the experiences of the losers as well
as the winners.
