A 'SCUSHUN FRUM BUFUT.

"Dey bin 'scushun from Bufut It'd
day." said an old colored woman, who
was standing on the corner of Whit
aker and Bay streets in the pouring
rain, waiting for somebody to tell her
what car to take to get to see her Ole
Missus. Homely as ever black face
was made and clad in an assortment
of cast-offs that hung around in be-
dragged confusion, she was happy
enough, and courtsied in good old
time style, saying Tank you, boss"
when directed how to reach her des-
tination.
whats all this crowd?" was asked
her. and in a language that was but
little more intelligable than Chinese
she told of the early start made from
steamer Clifton and the arrival here
during the afternoon, in the deluge
that came up about the dinner hour.
The Clifton must have had a deck
load, for the dusky bellies and their
escorts kept climbing the stairs at the
foot of Whitaker street for an hour
after the boat dOcked. The rain was
one of the drenchers that come in
April and without making much fuss
are guaranteed to soak pedestrians in
two blocks. Many of the colored
danes were arrayed in their Easter
Clothes and there will be sad tales to
tell the dry goods men when the
'scushun is over, for the only thing
that didn't change was the color of
the eXcursionists-which was strictly
fast black, dyed in the wool, and
warranted not to run" g,
A particularly swell-togged damsel
of chocolate tint was so angry with
her steady for not providing a coupe
that she left him in disgust at the
corner and wading back to the middle
of Bay street made a bargain with a
backman. That contract must have
been a blanket arrangement, for when
she drove up in triumph to the corner
again she issued an omnibus invita-
tion, and actually took in ten people
most of them men. and the party
drove off gaily with the springs right
hard down on the axles.
1t was altogether a rather bad day
for the scushun, but the visitors soon
got over their disappointment and
spent happy afternoon eating fried

NEW CITY MAP
GIVEN ENGINEER.
Extension of the Limits Are Now
Clearly shown.

Extension of the Limits Are Now
Clearly shown.
After several months of tedious
work the survey of the land that Is
taken in by an act of the Legislature,
authorizing an extension of the corpor
ate limits of Savannah, has been COM
pleted and the map has been finished.
The work was done by Mr.. Edward J.
Thomas. and under instructions from
Alderman James NJ. Dixon, chairman
of a special committee having the mat
ter in charge, the new map has been
placed in the hands OF the city engin
eer.
The city now comprises all of that
territory to the south. between Wat
ers avenue and Ogeechee avenue, and
extending southwark 1850 feet. This
means ten additional streets, or about
half a mile. 1t also includes the
land known as the Millen and Teynac
lots, lying between East Broad street
and Waters avenue and Lovers lane
and Estill avenue. The new map also
shows that within the extended limits
are the lands, about one-fourth of a
mile wide, extending from Dale avenue
to the Skidaway road, comprising sew
eral of the Cuyler lots, the Hamilton
subdivisions, Eastland, now known
as Purse Ward, the Meadows, the
Martin farm and Condor place, as sub
divided by c. j. Hull several years
ago, and a portion of the Harmon lots.
Substantial stones have been put
down as marks of the centers of pro-
posed streets, and each subdivision,
and all property lines are shown clear
ly. This has been a wise move on
the part of Council and future ad
illustrations are certain to be bene-
fitted by the forethought of those who
have directed the work or making the
new survey. Had the same plan been
followed fifteen or twenty years ago,
various subdivisions now built up
without regards to the opening OF
streets, would be placed differently on
the citys map. Not only would money
have been saved the taxpayers if sim
liar stones had been laid a score of
years ago, but the beautiful regularity
of the streets of the city would have
been observed in sections that are not
now as pretty as other parts of the

1t must be apparent to every one that
qualities of the highest order are neces-

modern commerce to attain permanently
% universal acceptance However loudly
heralded, they may not hope for worldwide
prominence unless they meet with the
General approval, not of individuals only,
but of the many who have the happy
-aculty of selecting, enjoying and learn
ing the real worth of the choicest prod
acts. Their commendation consequently,
becomes important to others, since to
meet the requirements of the we'll in
formed of all countries the method of
manufacture must be of the most per-
feet order and the combination the most
excellent of its kind. The above is true
not of food products only. but is espe-
cially applicable to medicinal agents and
after nearly a quarter of a century of
growth and general use the excellent
remedy. Syrup of Figs, is everywhere
accepted. throughout the world. as the
best of family laxatives. Its quality is
due not only to the excellence of the
combination of the laxative and carmin-
alive principles of plants known to act
most benehcially on the system and pre-
scented in the form of pleasant and re-
freshing liquid, but also to the method
of manufacture of the California Fig

clan who is well informed and he will
answer at once that it is an excellent
laxative. If at all eminent in his pro-
fesson and has made a special study of
laxatives and their effects upon the sys-

formed druggist of reputable standing
knows that Syrup of Figs is an excel

the regular price of fifty cents per bot

ton, but one should remember that in
order to get the beneficial effects of
Syrup of Figs it is necessary to buy the

HUSSARS WERE EASY
NET DEFEAT IN FIRST OF SERIES
OF RIFLE MATCHES.
GALATIANS MADE FINE SCORES
AND BEAT THE CAVALRYMEN ON
THEIR OWN GROUNDS.

Utmost Good Feeling Prevailed.
ArtiIIerYmen Took the Lead at
the Jump and Kept it in Fine
style TO the Finish.
In the first of the series of rifle
matches arranged between picked
teams representing the Georgia Hus-
sars and the Chatham Artillery,
which was pulled off in the Hussars
gallery last night, the artillerymen
beat the troopers q city block, clearly
showing their superiority over the
cavalrymen. The score at the end of
the match stood: Chatham Artillery,
1,173; Georgia Hussars, 1885.
The result of the match was sur
prise, as it was thought that the con-
test would be a close one. But from
the first man up, the Chathams took
the lead and kept it in fine style to
the finish, not allowing their hosts to
once forge ahead. They piled up an
excellent score, one which is seldom
beaten in similar contests. On the
other hand the members of the Hus-
sars' team shot poorly. none of the
men making the scores which they
have regularly made in practice.
The best of good feeling existed be-
tween the members of the two organi-
cations, and not once during the match
was a score disputed. The marksmen
both often expressed their delight at
the opportunity for closer relations be-
tween the artillery and the cavalry
which the contest presented After the
shoot the members of the Chatham S
team were the guests of the club at an
informal entertainment.
The contest was shot with the % cali
bre fiobert rifle, at a distance of sc
yards, the German ring target being
used. The members of the Chatham
team shot with Peters % short cart
ridges, while the Hussars used the Uni
ted States regulation % short. The
scores were kept by judges appointed
by the team captains.
Quite q large crowd witnessed the
shoot. On account of the smallness
of the gallery many were refused adj
mission after the contest began. The
gallery of the Chathams is much larg-
er, and at the next contest it will be
arranged to accommodate all members
of the two organizations who wish to
witness the match.
The next match will be shot in the
Chathams' gallery. The Hussars think
that they viii yet make ii warm for
the artillerymen. declaring that last
night was an off one with their team.
They will endeavor to defeat them on
their own grounds and thus turn the
tables and wipe out the defeat admin
istered to them.
