Fire Apparatus.


AS will be seen in another column
the village council has called special
election for the purpose of bonding
tho village,-provided the voters see
tit to do SOTO procure an apparatus
for the extinguishment of fires. This
is matter which interests every
property owner. and should receive
his most thoughtful attention.
That we need such apparatus no one
can doubt, but the question is, what
do we want! How much will it cost?
and how can we pay for it! We trust
that the village officers uill furnish
to the voters the fullest information
possible 50 that they canyac under
standingly.
The only objection we have is that
we dislike to have the village bonded,
but if, as is quite probable. the benefit
to be received therefrom in the mat
ter of the reduction of insurance rates,
and greater safety to our property
will compensate therefor, we shall be
satisfied 50 to do.

At the last meeting Of the City Council 1t
was decided to appoint new standing com
mittee, whose duty It shall be to look after
all matters appertaining to the river
and harbor. This is 3 step in the
right direction, as for q number Of
years past this important matter has, to
a great extent, at least as far as our city
is concerned, received but little attention.
What has been done has been confined
TO spasmodic efforts, which ceased with the
parOxysm which caused them. During the
past fourteen years hundreds OF thousands
Of dollars have been spent on the river, aud
while the depth OF water has been consider
ably increased, etill nothing ike such q
depth has been obtained as should have
resulted from the time and money which
has been spent upon the work.
The appointment OF this committee fs, as
We have before remarked, a step 10 the
right direction, but It Is only first step
committee Of Council is q chaugeable
body-very changeable indeed 10 this city
and il would have been better to have pro
vided for mixed committee Of Aldermen
and citizens, so as to insure its continuance,
II the municipal political kaleidoscope
should happen to make a complete revoiu-
lion by the next election, aud the next
Council should be an entirely new body
Savannah is nothing If sue is not sea-
port. Without = good hsrbor she cannot
continue to hold her own against her rivals,
aud It is matter Of vital interest to every
business man and properly holder, and
every citizen, that she should enjoy the sd
Vantages which such haTboT would confer.
distinguished engineer has said that
there is no difficulty Ia our having twenty
five feet Of water Up to our wnsTves, and to
secure this depth should be our instant end
and aim. It will not be accomplished, how
ever, II there is not intelligent and cOatinu-
Gus CO operation on the part OF our people to
that object. We hope that Council will see
to It that the work thus well begun will be
steadily pushed forward until such depth OF
water as we can easily have, and such q har-
Dor as our increasing commerce demands,
shall be secured.

Rev. ]. Z. L. Holmes.

The following tribute to the above gentle
man, who has but very recently come to
reside in this city to succeed Rev. s. Ian
drum as pastor Of the Baptist Church, we
take from the Savannah correspondence Of
the Atlanta Christian L;tde1:
"This worthy and highly esteemed gentle
man, who, for several years past, has been
pastor OF the Baptist Church at DAnville,
Virginia, has entered upon the duties OF bis
Savannah past0rate. He had never visited
Us, and not a member Of the church had
ever seen him or heard him preach, but the
reports from those who knew him best and
longest we're 50 entirely satisfactory that we
took him on faith, and he was given q unani-
nous invitation TO become the pastor OF
the Savannah Baptist Church.
awe have now seen and heard him, have
eniOyed his pulpit ministTations and social
Intercourse, and we are more than satisfied
that he is all his most devoted friends have
declared him 70 be. In manners be Is dig
niied, vet courteous and genial. A Virginia
gentleman He Is not an ornate and hoWerY
speaker, but ia earnest, cultivated, instruc-
tive and impressive. His diseourses are q
treat to the heart of the Christian, and to the
intellect Of the intelligent, and yet so plain
and purely Saxon In his language that a
child can catch his meaning. His heart is
evidently in his work. He is serving his
Master, and trying to win souls to Him.
ave bespeak for him q brotherly regard
aud interest from all Georgia Bsptists, to
whose number he is an acquisition, and we
believe, under the Divine blessing, he will
prove q useful, faithful and honOred min
lister.
che has at once won his way into our
hearts"

tells this anecdote: II recollect asking
'Stonewall, who was my cousin, if he
had ever been frightened in war He
said yes, once he had been considerably
under a sense of fear. 1t was in tie
City of Mexico. A chest contaiping a
large sum of money had BEEN nut in
Lieutenant Jackson's charge. and to be
perfectly secure of it he ordered it carried
TO his headquarters, in an old abbey or
convent, and lad down there alone in
the room with it to sleep, a sentinel
walking the corridor outside.
de had been there in bed only
few minutes, and was getting
drowsy, when he distinctly heard
something under his bed, which lifted
up as if a man was secreted there.
Jackson said he leaped out of bed and
drew his sword, and examined the bed
and the room in vain. Jackpon then
supposed he had been possib]- dreaming
and resumed his bed. inst as he was
thinking it was all ,. mistake his he'd
lifted again, plainly and with some
force. de started forth second time,
sword Ii hand, and behold nothing was
there, .nis time said he, I was
scared indeed, till my attention was
called to shouting outside in the street,
and then | found that it was an earth
quake passing under the City of Mexico
that had lifted my bed up and given me
such apprehension.

different Young Mems Christian Associs-
lions, was held by the Savannah Association
in their new rooms, 81 Bay street, last even

Promptly at o'clock the President of
the association, Mr.. Samuel B. Adams, took
the stand, and opened the meeting by giving
out the hymn, "Pass me not, o gentle
Saviour" which was followed by prayer
ana the singing Of another hymn.
Mr.. Adams then arose and read portion
Of Scripture from the oath chapter of the
Book Of Joshua, and also from the 9th
chapter Of the Gospel Of St. Matthew, which
he followed with an address, eOnining him
self to these words, Eye cannot serve God
and mammOn." His remarks, though com
paTaiively unprepared, were well timed and
carried with them great weight and power.
The meeting was one Of the largest and
most enthusiastic that the association has
had in some time, and the active members
look for great results from this week OF
prayer for young men and Young Mem
Christian Associations.
This evening the meeting viii be held in
the lecture room Of the Independent Pres
byterian Church, at eight o'clock, the ad-
dress being made by one Of the most zeal

The Savannah Palm Paper manu-
featuring Company.

We learned from a conversation yester-
day with Mr.. Samuel P. Hamilton, late
President and proprietor Of the Savannah
Paper Mnls, that the property has been
transferred to its purchasers, "The SaVsn-
nah Palm Paper Manufacturing Company"
Of which Mr.. 8. L. Crissy, Of Washington,
D. c., is the manager. and Mr.. Joseph Jor-
dan, of Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, is the
superintendent. Mr.. Crissy has the sole
right to manufacture palm paper In savan-
nah, and Mr.. Jordan-who is the inventor
of the Jordan engine, acknowledged to be
the best in use in the country in paper
fsctories-isa gentleman Of long experience
in the business, and stands high as paper
manufacturer.
The Savannah Palm Paper Manufacturing
Company has been organized under the aus
pices OF the America PulO and Paper Com
pany of Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, and
bids fair TO prove an enterprise not only
profitable to its projectors but OF great ad-
vantage and benefit to Savannah. By it not
only will the saw palmetto, heretofore re-
gaTded as almost worthless, be utilized and
converted into an article OF great value, out
it will be the means OF distributing capital
10 our midst, aud furnishing employment 70
many persons Mr.. Hamilton deserves
great credit for his efforts in giving us this
truly valuable factory. for he Informed us
that be had been offered inducements to
give I'D his mills and sell his machinery to
factories in the North, but knowing how
very advantageous to Savannah they might
be made, he has steadily refused to do so.
The paper, which IS made from the pal
metto, IS Of a very superior quality, and is
especially useful as transfer paper, which
has heretofore had TO be imported into the
country st great expense. IL Is the inten-
ton Of Messrs Crissy and Jordan to reside
here and devote their time and attention to
the manufacture OF this paper. They propose
to largely increase the capital OF the mills,
and to at least double their present ma
chinery, while the capacity OF the mills will
be 90 enlarged that they will require from
eight to ten tons of palmetto per day. The
mac inery is now under contract and will
be speedily erected. There is no doubt
that this industry will prove of great benefit
to the city, and we trust that Messrs. CrlssY
ana Jordan will, as they deserve, reap 3 rich
