THIEVING iPOSSUM CAME
TO AN UNTIMELY END.
Successfully Carried on His Depre-
datiOn for Several Months.

Savannahians can now unlock their
chicken house doors at night without
fear that the depredations that have
been committed therein for the last
few months will continue. The thief
is dead, the end coming about through
his own clumsiness.
For months those living south of
CASTOR street have been missing chick
ems, and many stopped keeping fowls
Those who continued either suspected
some domestic familiar with the prem
ises, or some wandering roost ar
fist who was too willy to conduct his
purloining Systematically at one place.
With a discovery made by Mr. Will
liam H. Robertson, at his residence
at No. 612 Barnard street, comes a
solution of the chicken thieving. 1t
was all done by 'possum. When Mr.
Robertson went into his back yard
yesterday morning he saw a big fat
'possum laying with his head hung be-
tween two boards in board walk that
led from the house to the wood house
His 'possumship was stone dead, and
when Mr.. Robertson attempted to
pull him out he found that he was
fastened between the two boards, hav-
ing choked himself to death in an en-
deavor to get free. The 'possum was
evidently after a chicken that had
taken refuge under the board walk.

AN OPEN LETTER.
TO THE PEOPLE OF SAVANNAH
From Knights Pharmacy Company.

From Knights Pharmacy Company.
To Whom 1t May Concern:
OF late there has been a good deal
of discussion in Savannah in regard
to advertised medicines and their
value-the papers are full of them
We want to say to every man, wo-
man and child in Savannah that we
believe the most valuable prepara-
ton of cod liver oil-the best tonic
reconstruction health restorer and
strength creator-we have ever sold
in our store is Ninol.
Vinol is not a patent medicine, it
contains no injurious drugs, and it
actually does contain all of the medic
inal curative elements taken from
fresh Gods livers but without a drop
of oil to upset the stomach and retard
it's work and. moreover, it is deli
cious to the taste.
Vinol acts first upon the stomach,
tones up the digestive organs, creates
an appetite, purifies and enriches the
blood and strengthens every organ in
the body to do it's work as nature
intended.
VinoI is recognized throughout the
world as the greatest strength creator
for old people, weak, sickly women
and children, nursing mothers and
after severe sickness.
Vinol cures hacking coughs, chronic
colds, bronchitis, and all throat and
lung troubles. Unequalled to create
an appetite and to make those who
are too thin fat, rosy and healthy.
Vinol is sold everywhere on posi-
tive guarantee that, if it does not give
satisfaction, the entire purchase
money will be refunded. Knights

SPIRITS AT
SEVENTY CENTS
WILL BE PRICE BY MARCH |.
IS THE OPINION OF MIR. JOHN n.
YOUNG.

No Reason for the Market to Begin
to Break NOw-The Price 1-2 Cent
Higher Now Than at This Time
Last Henr-SpFing Receipts Will Be
Late on Account of Cold Winter.
Less stun in the Boxes Now Than
Are Low.
Mr.. John r. Young is a bull on tur-
pentine for 70 cents. The fact that he
has been close to the correct figures in
his previous forecasts has been com
mented upon in the trade, and makes
his present forecast significant. He be-
lieves the price will reach 70 cents be-
fore March l.
There is absolutely no reason for
turpentine to begin to break now, as it
has DONE" said Mr.. Young on the
Board of Trade yesterday THE price
is now 81 cents, against 611a cents last
year at this time. Last year the mar
ket was just starting upward about
this time, went to IS cents, and did not
break until March 81, the last day of
the old season. Why is the market
breaking so early this season? I can
see no reason for it. On the contrary,
there is every reason for a mainte-
nance this season, for conditions are
decidedly more bullish than they were
at this time last year. when the price
was moving right along upward and
holding every advance.
The strong points favorable to tur-
pentine now are that we have had
cold winter, which means that spring
receipts will be later than usual, and
that there is less stuff reported in the
boxes now than there was at this time
last year. Moreover, January and
March receipts have not yet been sup
piled. Trade conditions outside are
good, and there is no apparent reason
why as much should not be paid for
pure turpentine this year as last. when
the price advanced steadily in the
face of weaker conditions. Then, too,
it is said stocks at closed ports are
low. Production will not be any larger
next than is indicated for this season. -

The movement to reproduce ''Suther-
land" at the St. Louis Exposition as
the Georgia building is now well under
way. Gov. Terrell and the Georgia
State Commissioners have given it their
approval.
Gen. McGlashan addressed a letter
some time ago to the Governor in which
he asked for permission to make the
change, This was readily granted and in
his reply TO Gen. McGlashan's letter
Gov Terrell asks or suggests that each
member of the United Confederate
Veterans the Sons of Veterans, and
the Daughters of the Confederacy con-
tribute 81 for the building. In this way
the necessary amount will be raised in

and commissioners: las Commander

There will be at st. Louis visitors

GUARDIAN STILL LIABLE
TO WARD FOR ESTATE
Interesting Case in Which Guardian Turned Over
Estate Before Ward Was Of Age.

Judge McAlpin rendered an impor-
tant decision yesterday morning in the
matter of the caveat of j. o. Small to
the application for letters dismissory
of J. c. Small, as the guardian of the
estate of ]. Q. Small. Though the
amount involved is only S171.3S, an un-
usual point of law is involved, and the
decision itself viii be of much in
terest.
Two days have been consumed in
hearing the case. The evidence dis
closes the fact that the guardian re-
ceived $1n.33. as the estate of his
ward, J. o. Small. the final payment
being made to him on Sept. %, 1898.
On July IS the guardian, ]. C. Small,
petitioned the Ordinary's Court for an
order authorizing him to use the en-
tire corpus of his wards estate, for
his support and maintenance, and par
ticularly, for working tools. The or
der was passed, but required that the
guardian file an accounting of his
acting and doings." 1t was shown
that at that time the minor was self
supporting and earning more than
his necessary expenses. 1t was fur
Their shown that the guardian sold his
ward certain tools, owned by the
guardian, for the agreed sum of $40
The evidence on this point was con-
fiicting but the preponderance of testi-
mony was that the ward received the
balance of his estate, but there was no
conclusive evidence to show that any
of the money paid over to the ward by
the guardian was used for the support
and maintenance of the ward. 1t was
admitted by the guardian that he
knew his ward was not q years of.
age when he claims to have paid him
his estate.

In making his decision Judge McAlpin
said: THE legal duties of a guardian
are clearly defined by the law, and in
this case were most specifically set
out by an order from this court. The
law does not contemplate that a minor
shall be entrusted with the DISPOSE
ton of his estate, and to guard against
improper use of his funds, by himself,
fixes the age at Il years as the time
when he shall be allowed to receive it.
This age is the time fixed by law, and
if a guardian sees fit to disregard the
requirements of the law, he does 1t
at his peril
IF he pays to his ward the estate
before he is II years of age, and takes
the wards receipt, such receipt would
be no legal protection to the guardian
against a suit for a recovery of the es-
tate a second time. If brought within
the statutory period. Every such set
Element by a guardian is made with a
probability of afterwards having to
pay 1t again. Such cases are moral
hardships, but there would be no ne
cessity of guardianship, or the law
governing them, if a guardian could
use his own discretion as to when to
pay over the corpus of the estate to his
ward. and it is the duty of every
bondsman to see that such Illegal set
Elements are not made. because they
stand as surety that the guardian will
legally perform his duties, and the
bondsman is. therefore, equally liable
to the ward, for any legal distribution

GIVE YOUR STOMACH
A NICE VACATION
Don't Do 1t BY Starving 1t Either
Let a Substitute DO the WOrk

DOh ~ II ADN IT
Let Substitute Do the Work.
The old adage, "All work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy" applies
just as well to the stomach. one of
the most important organs of the hu-
man system, as it does to the man
himself
If your stomach is worn out and
rebels against being further taxed be-
yond it's limit, the only sensible thing
you can do is to give it a rest. EN-
ploy a substitute for a short time and
see if it will not more than repay you
in results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a
willing and most efficient substitute.
They themselves digest every bit of
food in the stomach in just the same
way that the stomach itself would,
were it we'll. They contain all the
essential elements that the gastric
juice and other digestive fluids of the
stomach contain and actually act Just
the same and do just the same work
as the natural fluids would do were
the stomach well and sound. They,
therefore, relieve the stomach, just as
one workman relieves another, and
permit it to rest and recuperate and
regain its normal health and strength.
This vacation" idea was suggested
by the letter of a prominent lawyer in
Chicago. Read what he says: II was
engaged in the most momentous I'M
dertaking of my life in bringing about
the coalition of certain great interests
that meant much to me as we'll as my
clients. IT was not the work of days.
but of months / was working night
and day almost, when at very criti-
cal time my stomach went clear back
on me- The undue mental strain
brought ii about and hurried up what
would have happened later on.
What l ate l had to literally force
down and that was a source of misery
as l had a sour stomach much of the
time. My head ached, 1 was sluggish
and began to lose my ambition to car
ry out my undertaking. 1t looked
pretty gloomy for me and l confided
my plight to one of my clients. He
had been cured by Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, and at once went down to a
drug store and brought a box up to
the office.
4 had not taken a quarter of that
box before 1 found that they would
do all the work my stomach ever did:
the question for me, 1 determined to
give my stomach a vacation. l kept
right on taking the tablets and braced
up and went ahead with my work
With renewed vigor, ate just as much
as I ever did and carried out that I'M

The Strange Clock.

We are told of a strange clock that Is
said to have belonged to a Hindoo
prince. A large gong was hung on
poles near the dial, and all about on
the ground lay a pile ofartifical human
heads, ribs, legs and arms, the whole
number of bones in twelve perfect
bodies but the pile appeared to have
been thrown together in the greatest
confusion. When the hands of the
clock indicated the hour of one, from
out of the pile csawled first the num-

pile and fell to pieces again. When
