VOL. XXIII. NO FURTHER PROTEST AGAiNST SHOP REMOVAL. Speaking of the removal of the j shops of the Atlantic Coast Line ; from Savannah to Wayeross,*the j Savannah Nows of Tuesday says : “Savannah will make no furth er protest to the removal of the Coast Line shops to Wayeross. The matter was decided yester day at a meeting of the original committee appointed by the may or to represent Savannah in the matter. In addition there were present, Major \V. W.Williamson, president of the chamber of com merce, and Mr. John Parker, pres ident of the Retail Merchants' Association. Mr. Leopold Adler presided,and called for the individual express ions of all present. That “change had come o’er the spirit of the dream,” became at once apparent. The membeVs stated that since thinking the matter over they had come to the conclusion that there would be no profit in opposing the removal of the shops to Wayeross since the removal was practically accomplished. The committee passed a resolu tion to the effect that the Coast Line should be notified of the ac tion of the committee, taking care to remind Vice President Kenly of his promise that the Coast Line should do all in its power j for the upbuilding of Savannah j in the future and that it would be j held up as a mark to which the! road would be expected to live. All members of the committee will sign the letter to Mr. Kenly, and Ins promises to the commit tee will be recited therein. The committee expresses appreciation of the business sense which die- j tated the concentration of the j shops at a central location on the | system of the Coast Line, and in ! short doesn't purpose to lose any ammunition by shooting m the i air.” SEWARD. 8p( cial CorrcH|!ondenco.

The death angel visited the homo of Mr. and Mrs. W. 1). Lord and took from them their darling little baby on January 10, 1000. It, was only nine days old. Surely the providence of Gcd is mysterious. Why death should come to it so easily. We only know that God’s ways are the best., and knowing this we only submit to His will, therefore be it that we bow ourselves in humble submission to the Divine will of our Saviour. Itut oh how hard it is to take the parting hand with our precious little durling. A place in our home has been made vacant which never can lie filled, but our losses the sweet little one’s ’ eternal gain, and may God, the giver of all things, shed charity and love upon us, and comfort our broken hearts; and may He he'p us to live such lives that when the summons conies to call us one by lone to that better world, we may f j be ready to cross over and be with our sweet little baby, where siek i ness,' sorrow, nor death nev r I comes. Thou art. gone, our precious dur ling, Never more canst thou return, Thou shult sleep a peaceful slum ber Till the resurrection morning. We shall meet to part no more in that home beyond the sky.
