ventured the man across the desk in

"Plans are all right" responded the

Savannah will do me very we'll I'm

day to have a house of my own at
some fine cool spot, and time to spend
without worrying and rushing back

THE people of Savannah seem to
read the newspapers pretty faithfully"
remarked visitor to a newspaper man
yesterday. THE reading does not seem
to be confined to any one class or con-
dition, and the way some seize ideas
brought out almost confuses one who
has but recently come from the town
of New York"
Sarcasm" ventured the newspaper
man.
Not bit. Its enterprise 1 am

day night visiting minister spoke at
that big church, with the clock in the
tower. incidentally he mentioned that
the church had been in some way con-
nected with the famous missionary
hymn, From Greenland's Icy Noun
tains." The choir sang a few stanzas
and next morning the Morning News

WAYCROSS NEWS NOTES.

The actual floor space of the South
Atlantic Car and Manufacturing Com
panys plant, which is now being con-
structed in this city, will be 32,300 feet.
This space will be divided up among

Probably the largest trout ever cap
tured in South Georgia waters was
caught by DR.. Dodge of this city, In
the Okefenokee swamp canal this
week. After being out of the water fol
several hours, the fish weighed seven
teen and one-half pounds, and wa:
twenty seven inches long. The mouth
of the fish could easily take in the head
of small child. DR.. Dodge caught
the trout while "bobbing,'' and it was
with great difficulty the fish wa!
landed.

TO SNUFF VOLCANOES.
A Startling Discovery Made by An
Australian.

Volcanoes can easily be extinguish-
ed. says the New York Herald. A New
Zealand man claims land there are
many who agree with hin) to have
discovered a liquid by means of which
volcanoes may be extinguished~quick
whether active or threatening.
Many diseases of the human body
act in the same manner as volcanoes.
Dyspepsia, Rheumatism, Kidney Dis
orders, Female Diseases and many
others all begin with a slight rumble
of pain and distress, and If not treated
in time will burst forth in all their
fury, causing all who are so afflicted
the most intense suffering and max
ing life complete burden.
That a liquid has been discovered
that will extinguish these volcanic
eruptiOns of disease, whether active or
threatening, is not only certain, but a
material fact.

tablished in Savannah on free OASIS.
With a man like Mr.. George j. Bald
win, now laboring for education in this
part of the country, his work must be
crowned with success.
Savannah has recently had the pleas
IRE of seeing the art work of the pupils
of Mrs Wilkins the last year. The
parish house of St. Johns was Mt
ting place for the exhibition. The doors
and windows were Wreathed with the
Southern smilaX. while roses and hon
eysucklos mingled their sweet odors. 1t
was indeed q revelation to see the work
of the beginners from still life-the cor
rect eye was seen in the work of these
youthful hands. The pen and ink work
would do credit to persons with much
practice. The water colors, the crayon
portraits, all exhibited skill and good
training. The most admirable was a
pair of hands crossed-the flesh tints
wonderfully we'll done.
The first portrait painted by the same
youthful artist attracted great atten-
ton and won unqualified appreciation.
What achievements are before her,
1t was certainly an exhibition, to
make the heart of a teacher proud-and
few art schools in Northern states
could show so good a representation of
q years work; and all of this accom-
pished out of school hours by earnest
workers.
l am sure very few are aware of the
home missionary work done by an
earnest young lady in the Independent
Presbyterian Church. Realizing how
isolated are the lives of the deaf mutes,
she learned the sign language and
has for some years taught a class of
young men each Sabbath. Such pleas
ure has been brought into their lives
by the interest of such a friend. Such
earnest attention to all she says, and
such marked appreciation by them, is
very interesting to witness. Verify, she
will have her reward. A looker-on' re-
marked: What hath one woman
wrought"
And then in another room was a
Chinese Sunday-school and ladies with
infinite patience were teaching these
foreigners. With great interest they
sang the hymns, and with their Bibles
in their hands, went home to their
Chinese quarters. Is not the sacrifice
of home missionary as deserving of
recognition as that of the foreign mis-
siOnary? And yet very few in the city
realize how much is done, in season
and out of season, for the poor and
destitute!
The widow and the orphan are not
forgotten, and the sailor, after his long
voyage, comes into a friendly port and
meets a hearty welcome.
All honor, then, to Savannah and it's
noble, self-denying men and women,
who will some day hear, well done,
good and faithful servant"

WARM FIGHT AT COCHRAN
On the Question of Permitting
stock to Run at Large.

On the Question of Permitting
stock to Run at Large.
Cochran, Ga, April PA good deal
of excitement is being created here by
reason of the stock question. By
bare majority an ordinance was pass
ed forbidding any stock whatsoever to
run loose upon the streets. petition
was Immediately circulated, signed by
many citizens, begging the aldermen 10
rescind their ordinance. The alder
men, however, claiming that the ordi-
nance tended to promote the best In
terests of the town, and that it was
favored by a majority of the citizens
refused to entertain any petition for
reconsideration.
Cochran's wealthiest citizen, P. L..
Peacock, who owned a large number
of sheep, and who was severely in
jured by this sweeping ordinance, re-
quested that his sheep be allowed TO
run within the corporate limits. After
some hesitation the aldermen acceded
to his request. This angered many
persons who claimed that rights were
not being equally distributed, and that
the ordinance itself was legally unjust
They base their opinions upon techn1-
cal grounds, asserting that two of the
aldermen have never registered, that
the corporate limits of the town have
never been fenced, and that the Mayor,
himself, is holding two salaried public
offices at the same time. At first there
were merely idle threats on the part
of these persons, but they have pro-
cured competent counsel and, it is ru-
mored, will speedily have the town en-
joined, being determined to push their
claims to the utmost.
