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.”

DEATH OF AN INFANT.
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.
