WILL GIVE SQUIRRELS.

Mr. John j. Seay of Rome Makes
Chairman Damn a Promise.
Chairman Daffin of the Park and
Tree Commission has taken hold of the
work of securing a supply of squirrels
for Forsyth Park. The suggestion that
these little animals be set free in the
park and protected by the city was
made some days ago by the Morning
News, and it seems to have struck a
popular chord. Many gentlemen, Ia
dies and children have shown a deep
interest in the matter, and there can
be no doubt that everybody would well
come the appearance of the graceful
little creatures.
Mr.. E. A. Cults has a friend in
Rome, Mr.. John j. Seay, who has a
handsome summer place near Rome
that abounds in squirrels that are very
tame. He suggested to Mr.. Daffln
that. he write to Mr.. Seay, who might
be able to give him some information
about the little creatures. This Mr.
Daffin did, acquainting Mr.. Seay with
his desire to secure a number of the
animals for Forsyth Park. In reply,
Mr.. Daffin received the following let
ter:
my summer home, near Rome, is
surrounded by a lawn of about thirty
acres; in addition, have about a hun
dred acres in original forest land, and
have a great many squirrels, 1 suppose
between two and three hundred, may
be more. Some of them are quite gem
tie, and come to my well for water
also on my back porch and drink from
the water bucket. 1 find them very
amusing and entertaining. 1 protect
them in every. possible way, and have
a standing reward of ten dollars for
evidence to convict any one who kills
any of them. 1 have two bird dogs
at home, and have trained them so

NEW TYBEE SCHEDULES.
More Trains VIII he Operated, Be-
ginning To-day.


The summer schedules on the Tybee
Railroad will be effective to-day This
is one week earlier than they have
been put on in the past, but General
Passenger Agent ]. c. Halle of the Cen
trail Railway and other officials think
that the Tybee Railroad is justified in
making them effective thus early, as
the preliminary travel to Tybee has
proven conclusively that the people are
ready to go to the resort in great num-
bers, and that there will be the usual
heavy business.
Six trains on week days and seven
on Sunday, each way, will be the way
the trains will run. The weekday
trains will leave Savannah as follows:
545 a. M, 300 a. m, 2:30 p. M. APO
p. m, 900 p. m, and 740 p. m. They
will leave Tybee as follows: 500 a.
M, 700 a. M, 1000 a. M, sos p. m,
Gas p. m, and 9:20 p. m. On Sundays,
beginning to-day, the trains will leave
Savannah at 7:25 a. m, 900 a. m, 11:00
a. M, 2:30 p. m, APO p. m, 500 p. m,
and TAO p. m. They will leave Tybee
at 500 a. m, S:15 a. m. 10000 a. m,
1850 a. m, sos p. M, 6:45 p. M. and
920 p. m. All trains run by railroad
time, which is one hour slower than
Savannah city time.
This is much the same schedule that
was In effect last season. 1t is ar
ranged largely with view of furnish
ing connecting trains for the accomo-
dation of passengers from interior
points, who may be brought In to Sa-
vannah by the special excursion trains
over the railways. The Central, par
ticularly. makes a bid for the Tybee
excursion business, running special
trains and putting on special rates
from many interior points.

Editor of the Morning News: 1 have

by several of our ministers in regard
to the disturbances which occurred on
Thursday at the election precinct. The

the fact there was but one voting

of disturbances being apportioned to

clared. as IL was by the chairman Of

Francis S. Barlow.

II go to illustrate, if 1 can, my native
state"
The following poem is a tender trib-
ute to the memory and the virtues of
Francis S. Barlow, written by one who
had opportunity to observe and know
the man on the field of battle.
I knew him slightly, but enough
To see as well as mortal can,
The lofty soul, the noble stuff
That makes the Christian and the
man.
Frank, simple, courteous, and bold:
Firmness and gentleness combined;
True as the purest knight of old,
He lived a model for mankind.
He died as patriots love to die,
For equal liberty and laws,
Bearing his country's standard high,
A willing martyr to her cause.
And Georgia, with her varied store
OF honors, gathered soon or late,
May proudly deem herself the more
Illustrious by her hero's fate.
