Promptness means much in curing case
of fever. A remedy that cures in week
is not to be considered by the side of one
that cures in a day.
Quinine takes week or ten days to do
what Johnson's Tonic does in one day.
Besides, there is vast difference in the
character of the cures made. Quinine at
best makes feeble cure. Johnson's Tonic
makes a splendid cure. You may miss
your fever when taking quinine but you
miss the strength and appetite which fol-
lows the use of Johnson's Tonic.

GEN. woODFORD IN SAVANNAH.

House Thirty Years Ago.

Was Entertained at the Pulaski
HOuse Thirty Years Ago.
Mr. Anthony Fernandez has a pleasant
recollection Of Gen. Stewart L. Woodford,
United States minister. to Madrid. who was
in Savannah thirty years ago in com
mand of United States troops.
At that time Mr.. Fernandez was In
charge of the Pulaski House, and enter
ltalned Gen. Woodford, whose headquar-
tiers during the three weeks he remained
in the city were in the building now oc-
cupied by Hull and Lathrop at St. Julian,
Bull and Bryan streets. Nothing Of an
unusual nature characterized Gen. Wood
ford's visit here, but smany of the older
citizens remember him as an affable and
entertaining gentleman. Especially was
the General a favorite with the ladies'.
Had Gen. Woodford's stay In the city
been more prolonged. he would doubtless
now occupy an even higher place in tie
estimation OF the people. The prominence
into which he has risen since his services
as minister a Madrid began viii likely
serve to remind other cities of former re-
lations with the great American.

Col. Lester Announces Himself In the

The letter to Col. Lester from Savannah,
requesting him to announce his candidacy
for the Fifty-sixth Congress has not been
sent forward yet. The movement has
grownto such am extent and so many peo-
pie have asked to sign the request since
the movement was announced, that the
letter was held back in order to allow
those who wish to do so to attach their
signatures. The letter win probably go
forward in a few days.
In the meantime, Col. Lester has anticl-
pated his friends here by re-
plying to one of the earlier
letters of the series, which was
sent from Bryan county. The letter Is adj
dressed to Messrs. ]. Hartridge Smith,

There are many Of them, however, who
win volunteer in any event.
1t appears from the dispatches to the
Morning News from Washington published
to-day that Georgias quota under the call
from the President for $4,000 volunteers,
will be AHA men. The strength of the
white volunteer militia In the state is in
the neighborhood of 400. Excluding those
now enlisted I'm the state forces who might
be debarred by reason of disabilities, IL viii
be seen that If Georgia's quota is to be fur
nished from the volunteer miliiiamen, 1t
will take pretty near all of the balance to
make II UP. 1t is stated that the first
chance on the call for volunteers is to be
given to the regular militia, but 1T does not
appear from the advices from Washington
that all Of the volunteer commands will
have the opportunity of maintaining their
present status as such. The men, it seems,
will respond as volunteers to be disposed
as directed by the President, and for that
reason there may be shortage of Volun-
teers from the miltiamen, which would
have to be filled by volunteers from out
side. However, these details are yet TO be
arranged. Col. Lawton had a telegram yes
terday from Acting Adjutant General Os-
car ]. Brown, stating that he had had no
advices from Washington. and did not ex-
pect any before Monday. He was unable to
tell, therefore. just what would be done.
Col. Lawton waited in the officers room
last night to receive the reports from the
companies of the regiment as to what
they might do The first report he had
came by wire from Statesboro. Capt. Ev-
eritt of the Kell Rifles sent the informa-
ton that he had seen thrty-two out of
the forty-nine enlisted in his company, and
that twenty-five Of them had promised to
volunteer. He has seventeen others yet
to see and he believes, besides, that he
can secure volunteers from outside his
command.

MRS. MARY IL. PRITCHARD DEAD.
Her Remains to Arrive From New
York This Morning.

AaChhNAhS W AOaAh WV
York This Morning.
Mrs Mary Rowland Pritchard, the wife
of Capt. G. B. Pritchard, died in New
York yesterday morning. The news was
received here shortly after her death, and
brought sorrow to the hearts of many
friends.
Mrs. Pritchard had been in i'll health for
some time. Over a month ago she went
to New York for treatment, and on March
% an operation was successfully perform
ed by DIR. 1W,.M Polk, an eminent sur
geon. She seemed 10 rally from the oper-
alton, and was apparently doing well. The
shock to her nervous system was too great,
however. and she failed to recover.
Capt. Pritchard and his son, Lieut.. @.
3. Pritchard. Jr., U. S. A, were present.
Capt Pritchard left for New York about
ten days ago to be with his wife and
Lieut.. Pritchard accompanied his mother
from Savannah and remained with her I'M
til her death.
The death of Mrs. Pritchard causes sor-
row among all who knew her. She was
a native of Savannah and had spent her
life here. and there was probably no lady
in the city better beloved. Her marriage
to Capt. George Barnard Pritchard took
place Feb. IS, 1873. She leaves four chill
dren, Lieut.. G.. Barnard Pritchard Jr.,
w. Latham Pritchard and Tattnall r.
Pritchard, and one daughter, Miss Mary
Josephine Pritehard, besides brother, Mr.
John T. Rowland, and a sister, Mrs w
G.. Woodfn. The family circle was par
ticularly happy one. AS wife, mother and
Christian, the life of the deceased was
pure and beautiful.
The body is expected to arrive from New
York to-day, accompanied by Capt Prit-
chard and his son. The funeral will take
place from, the Independent Presbyterian
Church tomorrow afternoon.

SIGNAL CORPS AT TYBEE.
The Station to BE Located TempOra-
riIy in Hotel Tybee.

Lieut. H. s. Coldlng enlisted Ave men
yesterday for the signal station at Tybee,
and also let the contract for the signal
mast. AS a result there will be quite a
different scene hereafter at Hotel Tybee,
where the man will be temporarily located
pending the erection of the mast and small
house to be built as dornitory.
Those enlisted are w. N. Beckett, who
ranks as frst-class quartermaster; S. A.
Torley and Deos Spring, second-class
quartermasters; Robert Marshall, tele-
graph operator. and T. e. Powers, lands
man. Mr.. Marshall the operator, Is now
with the Central Railroad, but will report
with the others to-day Temporary quar-
tiers will be in the hotel, the oupola OF
which is to be used as an observatory. The
wires for the telegraph line are already
up being leased from the Western Union
by the government. The instruments,
however, are to be placed in the hotel by
the government.
Lieut.. Coiding awarded the contract for
erecting the mast to j. T. Floyd. By the
terms of the. contract the work is TO be
done within six days, and 1t is believed 1t
can be finished in that time by expeditions
work. The flags, lamps and other equip
ment for the mast have already been or
dered through local firm. Everything
thus far has been ordered in compliance
with Specifications from the superintendent
of the coast signal service, New York.
After receiving instructions to establish
the station, Lieut.. Colding acted with re-
markable promptness, having had a man
previously stationed at Tybee in anticipa-
ton of the orders which he had been Civ
en- to understand might be sent at any
time. The only formal act to be carried out
at the time was to telephone Tybee that
orders had been received. This was done
immediately.
