hard swelling, which suddenly appeared on
The side of his neck, causing severe pains
on the lower part of his neck and along his
shoulder. The swelling seems to have
come without premonitory symptoms and
within a. night. MIR. Sullivan retired one

the next morning while in the market
some one directed attention to the fact
that his neck was badly swollen. This

ing having given him no annoyance what
ever. 1t is not so much the pain he suf-
feTs at present from the swelling that has

FINE OYSTER SEASON AHEAD.
Good Quality and Large Quantity
Are What the Dealers Promise.

Good Quality and Large Quantity
Are What the Dealers Promise.
Savannahs oyster season has not yet
really opened up. While oysters are on
the market and are being shipped, the
quantity is small compared to what it will
be when cold weather comes and the de-
mand so far is limited The eplcure, as
well as the ordinary citizen with plain
taste, does not eat oysters while the Their
mometer is endeavoring to keep up around
the ninetes.
1t will be gratifying to all, though, to
Know that the outlook for the season is
regarded as especially good. The oysters
that are being received here from the local
points of supply are of good quality and
there is reason to believe that the quantity
TINS year will be sufficient to meet all
trade requirements without putting the
price above what it ordinarily is.
The heavy and frequent rains are said
to have helped the quality of the oysters
ana although the storm did damage to
the young plants, affecting the yield per-
maps for next year. it is not thought by
the dealers that it win be in any wise
cut down this seasons crop of the BIZ
valves.

PAPERS THAT MUST HAVE STAMPS.
Some Marriage Papers DO While 9th
ers Do Not


Difficulty has been found in getting
copies Of the schedule showing the pro
visions Of the stamp act of last June, by
which the revenues of the country were
to be increased for the betrayal of the
expenses of the war Many of the legal
departments over the country have been
unaware of just what the requirements
are regarding stamps on legal documents.
The result Of this lack of information has
been that a great many papers have been
issued without the stamps.
There has been claim made that mar
riage certificates must bear stamps. This
Is not true, except in an uncommon case
A copy of the schedule has been secured
and extracts have been made from II at
the ordinary's Office of such passages as
bear upon the business of the ordinary
The language of the schedule, with regard
to marriage certificates and stamps Is
as follows: "A marriage certificate, to be
returned to any officer of a state, county
city, or town, to constitute part of pub
lie record, requires no stamp. mar
riage certificate issued by the officiating
clergyman or magistrate and given to the
parties, if required by law, must be stamp
ed at the rate of 10 cents"
The war revenue law also sets forth
the requirements regarding bonds. 1t has
been an unusual thing for bonds even
those upon which it is necessary to have
stamps, to have any stuck on them in
Savannah, but hereafter now that the
schedule has been seen, they will have
to be stamped according 10 the require
ments of the law.
bond with guaranty company must
be stamped pretty heavily. The schedule
touches upon this as follows; when a
bond is given with a guaranty company
as surety the bond should have, in addi-
ton to a 50-cent stamp, as required I'M
der the head of Bonds in Schedule A, a
stamp denoting one half of one cent in
each dollar or fractional part thereof
paid by the principal obligor on the bond
as a premium, under that paragraph of
Schedule A relating to guaranty COM
panies"
Bonds given in ordinary civil and Grim
inal proceedings are exempt from taxa
ton. Bonds given by persons appointed
by the court, conditioned for the faithful
performance of the duties of their office
or position, such as receivers, assignees,
executors, administrators and guardians,
require no stamp.
Letters testamentary, or of guardian
ship, and petitions for appointment of ad-
illustrators, executors or guardians re-
quire no stamp.

GUARDS ARE GRATEFUL.
Col. Garrard's Letter of Thanks to
Capt. Williamson.

Col. Garrard's Letter of Thanks to
Capt. Williamson.
The recent circular issued by the four
companies of the Savannah Volunteer
Guards through their commanding officers
and the special committee appointed for
the purpose, has reached the members of
the organization who are with the First
battalion of the Second Georgia Regiment
Lieut.. Col. Garrard, in command of the
battalion, has written Capt. W. w. Will
hanson, commanding Company A, and, as
senior officer, the battalion of Guards, ex-
pressing the appreciation of the officers
and men in the battalion from Savannah
for the cordial tone of the letter, which
was addressed TO the members of the
Guards who are here.
Col. Garrard wrote that the letter is
thoroughly approved by the officers and
men, and that all of them join in the
wish for the continued prosperity and per-
petual existence of the corps. He said the
reception will be gratefully appreciated.
The time of the officers and men of the
regiment, wrote Col. Garrard, will be
completely taken up during the next few
days with the details preparatory to mus
tering out, and he could not say when
the battalion will get back to Savannah.
The colonel said he would have answered
sooner, in reply to the letter from Capt
Williamson, but that it had been sent to
huntsville, and had just been forwarded
TO him at Atlanta.

world.
A notice is posted over the ticket win
dow at the Central Railroad depot in
forming passengers fsr Florida that thew
must have health certificates, or they will
not be able to enter that. state This is
usually the first intimation they have of
that fact, and they are at once put to
considerable trouble
Florida has state board of health,
and very rigid quarantine is now being
enforced. All trains entering the state are
met by inspectors, and no passengers can
enter who are not provided with certifi-
Gates showing they have not been within
any fever infected districts for some DAYS
Ii seems this fact is not generally known
and surprise, and often disgust, is
expressed by passengers for that state
when they reach the depot in hurry to
catch train and find they have to get
to physicians office in a still greater
hurry in order to get the certificate and
get back 10 the train in time
The doctors in the nelghborhood of the
depot have made good thing out of the
florida quarantine AS has been stated
many of the passengers are unaware of the
restrictions governing travel in that state
end they fail to get certificates from the
office of the health officer, where they do
not cost anything. On reaching the depot
and finding they need certificate, it is
too far back to the city exchange to get
a certificate, so they so TO a physician,
who charges 81 for a certificate.
