Summer at Hand.

May the first-summer Is here. Soon the
summer exodus will begin and you will be
left alone to battle with cooks and mar
keting and all the other ills of life when
ones better half is away. Why not in the
interest of economy, comfort and freedom
from care, close up your house, so far as
the kitchen and dining room are concern
ed, and go to Halligan's to spend the sum-
mer. Halligan does more for the summer
boarder than any one in the country. He
gives 10 that individual personal attention.
and his excellent restaurant provides
every comfort while the table is the best
possible and the service all that could be
asked for. Halligans prices are very rea.
sonabls, and the restaurant is an attrac-
tive, cool and pleasant place. He would be
pleased to have you come and see exactly
what sort of place the Halligan restau-
rant iS.-ad.

cate the bad omen of certain dreams The
night preceding the killing little Charles
dreamed he was on the road when his old
white horse was attacked by a man and
the animals throat was cut A profound
impression appears to have been made by
the dream, because when his mother told
him of the trip to be made to the station
the day of the tragedy. he related his
dream and begged to remain at home,
fearing something terrible would come to
him. His mother innocently told him
there was nothing to fear, however and
after some persuasion, induced him to go.
Brown is an ignorant negro, said to have
always been harmless. At the Jail he does
httle talking. Whether he denies the
crime attributed 10 him is not known.
though IL is understood blood was discov.
cred on his clothes by the officers making
the arrest. Other evidences are said to
exist which place the deed at Browns
door beyond any possible doubt 1t is nor
unlikely he will admit the crime when
taken to Bryan county to-day, which will
then make the trial of his case in the
courts brief one. The trial will probably
take precedence over everything else ~,

RumOr of the Government Securing
an Army Caterer DispeIIed.
In the great excitement over the war
with Spain, the cool calculating heads are
busy making every necessary preparation
for the protection and comfort of the army.
All sorts of reports are afioat; some are
exaggerations, some turn out to be true.
1t is a commendable story that was going
the rounds few days ago that the gov
eminent was trying TO induce H. Logan,
the popular butcher to become caterer for
Uncle Sans army.
While Logan had no idea of existing,
and leaving his many patrons who depend
upon him for their daily dinners, the story
became noised around, and it is reported
that yesterday there was an indignation
meeting held by large number of ladies,
who strongly protested against Logan
leaving and going 70 the front 1t is said
that committee waited upon Logan last
night and insisted that he would continue
to serve the families of Savannah as he
had done in the past-and Logan volun-
teered in their service.-ad.

WILL GO TO SCENE OF HIS CRIME,
Murderer of Little Charlie Benton to
Be Taken to bryan County.


William Brown. the negro in the Chat
ham county jail charged with killing lit
tie Charles Benton. in Bryan county, last
Wednesday. for the purpose of robblng
him, will be taken there to-day to be in
readiness for the grand jury when court
is convened by Judge Falligant tomorrow.
A hurried disposition of the case, it is
believed, is the only thing that will keep
the people from taking the law into their
own hands.
Brown was brought to Savannah by
Sheriff Thomson in order TO save him from
being lynched by the Infatuated citizens
who threatened to break down the Jan.
Realizing that trouble was Imminent the
sheriff quickly arranged to remove his
prisoner and took the Savannah Florida
and Western train at Ways station for
Savannah.
The crime Is a diabolical one The &C.
count has already been printed, to the ef-
feet that the murdered lad was sent by
his parents from their home to Ways sta
ton, distance of about eight miles. When
about one-third the distance he was met
by the negro Brown, who stopped him
and asked for a pocket knife. The ooy
took out a knife. which is supposed Nv
many TO have been used by the negro In
committing the murder. The little boy 8.
throat was cut, after which he was drag
ged from the road TO a thicket where his
pockets were rihed, and his body left with
the knife sticking In his throat The body
was discovered by a searching party, who
found the horse and dog in the road await
ing their little master.
