THE BUTCHERS PICNIC.

Mr.. Hugh Logan Says the Associa-
tons Barbecue at Tybee Will be
Big Thing.
Mr.. Hugh Logan is among the butch
ers who feel sanguine that the harbe-
cue the local Butchers Association
will give at Tybee Aug. Is will be one
of the strongest drawing cards that
has been on the island this season. The
butchers claim that the barbecue will
be something new for the average Sa-
MAMMALIAN, and in this they are doubt
less correct.
THAT will be a great day with the
butchers and for the public" said Mr..
Logan. Cooking will be seen there as
II is seldom seen in this end of the
country. Preparations will be made
for huge ovens. and the fires will burn
an entire day before the picnic. We
have already made arrangements to
secure enough of the fnst obtainable
beef to feed the multitude, and we want
our friends there. The beef will be the
best the slaughtering houses have in
their ice houses, and we want our pa
irons and public generally to unite
with us in enjoying it. Delicacies OF
the best sort will be on hand, so that
the appetites of the most fastidious are
sure TO be satisfied"

in Savannah in 1866. He taught his
sons, and brought them up in the store,
and in retiring the management and
ownership falls into trained, vigorous
and capable hands.
The first step to be taken by these
young merchants will be to sell off the
present stock as rapidly as possible,
and to replace it with new and fash
ionable goods.
Writings sterling silver in every
imaginable design will be sold, and
the stock will be increased at once.
This silver has been handled by Mr..
Allen for years. A special run will be

costly sets, and exquisite odd pieces.
These will be ready for exhibition to-

Boston. Mass, April 2.-The following
statement bearing on the announcement
that Agulnaldo had taken the oath Of al

III Aguinado has taken the oath and
submitted to American soyer' gnty without
any stipulation as to ultimate indcpend

will continue as heretofore.
~ don't believe that fear would induce
Aguinoldo to take the oath or that threl It
of deportation or even Of execution would
have the slightest effect upon the man Wh)
has shown such conspicuous bravery N
the field But If he were convinced bS
official or unofficial affairs that the strug-

would he hopeless. that submission would

that ultimately Independence would be &C.
cured by his taking the oath and by lu-
duciug his fellow-countrymcn to do Ike

the oath without sacrificing the honor OF
his aspirations and hopes for the lnde-
