An Everyday-Day Occurrences.


The constant reader of the daily
newspapers sees many advertisements
and announcements that he passes by
with a glance. yet if he would stop to
draw aside the curtain and inquire. he
would be confronted with facts that
might melt his heart. We here give a
few of the announcements and the rea-
sons for their appearance in print:
1.-TWO little orphans, age twelve and
seven years, are seeking home among
strangers" The Untold part of this
story is that they came from good par
ents, but their father failed to insure
his life for their protection.
"A young lady desires a position in
a respectable office. Is a good penman
and willing to work hard" The secret
of this case is her father did not be-
heve in life insurance.
There will be an auction sale of
household goods, all in first class con-
dition, such as Turkish rugs, fine brio
a-brac, mahogany chairs and bed room
suites, etc. Sale begins promptly at 10
a. m, April 7th at No. -. There
will be bargains for some one. Come
early" The reason for this advertise
ment Is the father died suddenly with
not enough life insurance, and the
creditors are cold.
We could go on publishing similar
rotices until we could fill this issue
with them, but we hope these few will
set many heretofore doubling father
to thinking, and not only thinking. but
acting. With a sufficient amount of life
insurance your memory will be a
blessing and your picture will remain
en- the wall in the home where neither
the wolf of want" nor a sheriff with
an execution will ever enter. Write to-
day, state your age and address, Harry

SHOT THROUGH THE JAW.
Negro wounded by Unknown Man
on Louisville Road.

Under somewhat mysterious circum-
stances Judson Gilliard. a negro liv-
ing near the water-works. was shot
and badly wounded on the Louisville
road last night. 4 bullet was sent
through Billiards jaw by an unknown
man, and was later extracted by DR..
G. w. Heriot, from the back of the
negro's neck.
The shooting occurred at point on
the public road, where the Seaboard
Air Line bridge crosses. and according
to Gilliard was without the slightest
provocation. The negro claims that
he was coming to the city, and that
he saw a man just in front of him.
When within about a foot of the
stranger Gilliard, according to the
story he told after his arrival in the
city, said Good Evening" a saluta-
ton which the country negro is wont
to give when he encounters a friend
or stranger.
Gilliard says that the man wheeled
in his tracks and fired one shot in his
face. The negro's jaw stung and he
began doing "a hot foot" for the city.
The shooting was so unexpected that
the negro could not tell whether the
man with the pistol was white or black.
nv ClAiGl SAONo were iAEus Jul oiliioAN
did not slacken his pace, thinking that
the purpose of the man might have
been robbery.
1t is believed that the man who fired
the shot was under the impression
that he was about to be held UP, and
would not have shot had he known
the negro intended no harm. The law
lessness in the county and the un-
avenged murders in the Ogeechee Sec
ton have thoroughly frightened the
residents of settlements near the city,
and many of them jump at the sight
of their shadows. 1t is likely that the
man who wounded Gilliard believed
that he was about to be assaulted, and
deemed it wise to shoot, and then ask
for explanations. The negro's wound
is not dangerous and he was sent to
his home by DR.. Heriot.

DIscLAINs REsPoxsIBILIrY.
Had Nothing to Do With the Rise in
Prices of Meats.

Aside from quality the two things
that add most to the good taste of
food are high prices and scarcity. We
now have the higher prices, but not the
scarcity. However, the people are
not to be congratulated upon this
jump in the prices of meat, notwith-
standing it makes them feel they are
eating better things. The rise would
not have come If one man had had
his way about it-that man being Lo-
gan, the well known caterer in the city
market. He has no interest in the
alleged meat combine. but simply
looks out for his customers as a. dis
tributor. He is still doing his full
duty towards his patrons, and will
lessen their disappointment by better
ing the service at his stalls and in
making quick deliveries .-ad.

Gil adopted a resolution, providing for

HELD AGAINST HIS WILL.
Summerlin Wants to Go without
Requisition, But Can't.

Requisition, But Can't.
Despite his willingness to accompany
Sheriff T. e. Fielder of De Soto coun-
ty, Florida, back to Arcadia to stand
trial, Rolla Summerlin is still held a
prisoner in Chatham county Jail. He
is there awaiting the arrival of requi-
sition papers from Atlanta, without
which Gov. Gambler has wired Sheriff
Schwarz not to release his prisoner.
Summerlin has expressed a perfect
willingness to go without requisition
papers-indeed, he has seemed anxious
to go, and the habeas corpus proceed
ings before the ordinary of the county
have been dismissed. Sheriff Schwarz
was about to turn Summerlin over to
Sheriff Fielder when the telegram from
the Governor arrived. Then he de-
cided to hold the prisoner and Sum-
merlin will be kept here until the pa
pers reach the city. They are expected
to-day or tomorrow.

NATIVE BEEF POPULAR.
Clerk of Market Says That Much of
1t Is Being Bought Now.

II Is Being Bought Now.
The butchers in the city market who
are selling native, beef at figures much
lower than those quoted by the dealers
who purchase the Western article
from the beef trust, are able to supply
the demand. which has been strong
since the big jump.
Clerk of the Market Mendel says that
the native beef is exceptionally fine,
and that the consumers who are now
using it in preference to the trust ar
ticle have made no complaint about
the quality Most of the cattle is
brought to Savannah from the neigh
borhood of Fort Valley and is slaugh-
tered here, each butcher having his own
slaughter pen.
The butchers who handle the native
meat do not sell the beef handled by
the trust. Clerk Mendel says that a
day or two ago a steer weighing 700
pounds was butchered. and that all of
the cattle is fat and of fine flavor.
There have been no further advances
in the price of beef, although it is ex-
pected that the price of the Western
article will go higher.
