lads" The quantities. too. that are
shown to have been brought here in
nearly every vessel that arrived, argues
that either nearly every man was a
drinker or that those that were drinkers
must have been on the Pantagruel order
and capacity. In every notice OF go0ds
for sale is found the information that
the dealer has "just received by such
and-such vessel Holland gin in pipes,
Malaga wine, in quarter casks, sher y
do in ditto. London particular Teneriffe,
Northern rum in puncheons, pipes OF Cog
mac brandy, Madeira wine, Tenerine,
Sherry, Port, Malaga and Sicily wine is
casks" The present popular dppie, wills
ky, seems to have been unknown IN those
days or to have been away down In the
list In popularity. as no mention of 1t Is
to be found in any of the notices of 10
uors for sale.
Another lad not the least curious OF
the lot is one that appeared January IA,
1903 as follows: THE subscr bers have
for sale a few tons bar iron, principally
for wagon tires; Jamaica sugar In hhds.
and bbls. of a superior quality; oouole
refined loaf sugar in hhds. tierces, ana
barrels; a few barrels prime and cargo
beef. ditto prime pork: Liverpool ground
salt; white pine boards and plank; piano
fortes Zone. elegant precautionary; m II
saws. and cotton Ia gng." The sub
scribers sign themselves as Mackin and
McIntosh. One wonders whst was the
state of the musical culture Of the good
old DAYS when limo 'ortes were imported
with bar iron and prime cargo beef, and
advertised-shades Of Bach and Beet
hoven-between Liverpool ground salt
and mill saws.
Even In those days there were the al
legged el'xirs and pansceas as one may
see by porusing the following notice OF

II may be interesting TO know that at
that time Savannah had hat mannfac-
tory, as may be seen from the following'
which appeared in the issue OF Dec. 2l'
1903: "Levhcrn and straw hat manufac-

lately occupied by Mr.. William Dixon.
"The public are respectfully Informed
that a variety OF Hats. and Bonnets, OF
Satin and other descriptions may now be
had at the above mandatory, OF the
newset fashions.
"such ladies' who have hats or bonnets
that have lost their color. Will find ma
terial advantage by sending them to the
Manunfactory, where they can be cleaned
to look equal to new. for one dollar each. "
