MAY BUILD NEW CITY HALL.
*
Seaboard Air Line Makes Liberal
Proposition to Savannah.
Savannah, Ga., Jan. 17.—W. W. Mac
kali, representing the Seaboard Air
Line and the Georgia and Alabama
Terminal company, has made a propo¬
sition to Mayor Myers in reference to
the building of a bridge across the
Savannah river to the Hutchinson is¬
land terminals. It looks to the con¬
struction of a new city hall.
The Seaboard wants the present city
exchange site for the city terminus of
the big bridge which it proposes to
throw across the river. In return for
this it is willing to erect a building
for the city as well as railroad pur¬
poses. The city will be guaranteed
free office room for 100 years.
The matter is still in indefinite
shape, but as Mr. Mackall has carried
through everything he has undertaken
for the Seaboard and Savannah, it is
likely that he will be successful in this
also,

Mrs. Hawkins has not seen her sister

Railroad wrecks are bad and would
always be averted were it known when
and how they were goin" to happen.
Wrecks are almost a daily occurrence in
this broad land and country. Not only
are railroad wrecks dangerous and hor¬
rible to behold, but there are moral,phys¬
ical and finanancial wrecks as well. The
latter is one kind of wreck tliat general¬
ly conld l>e avoided if forethought and
good judgment were used and some good
bank like the Bank of WrightsviU was
used to deposit and take care of their
money. Are yon acting the foolish part
keeping yonr money hid at home? If so
stop it and deposit in tho Bank of
Wrightsville where it will be safe.
