Removal.

LET me congratulate you on your new
store" 81 wish you great success in your
new quarters" These and similar kind
expressions were rendered us during the
past week. They relate to the change of
our business location from 1919 Congress
street to 1873 Broughton, in Lyons Block.
For the past twenty-six years we stood by
good old Congress street, at one time the re-
tail business street of Savannah, and even as
one after the other of our neighbors de-
parted, we still chung to it for the sake of
associations. Want of room to display our
yearly increasing stock which forced us
last year to rent additional room at 140
Congress street, compelled us at last, after
several fruitless efforts to enlarge our prem
ises, to secure the present quarters, which
we're offered to us ten years ago, when first
erected. The late war has brought to Sa-
vannah many changes, and its present
prosperity can be traced not only to her
live merchants. but also to those who first
built it on a firm and solid foundation The
Commercial City of the Empire State South
was represented by men who gave her
name and fame. both at home and abroad.
A galaxy of men Of the highest integrity
and honor: anderson, BGtterSby, Brig
ham, Cohen, Cuyter, Duncan, Gdnbnlett,
Gordon, Green, HdberShGm, Hardee,
Herr, Holcombe, Hunter, Lou, MillS, Pa
delford, SorreL, Soultard, Tison, villa
Tonga, WddLey, Weed, etc.
We look back upon these Savannah COM
mercial representatives with pleasure and
esteem, aye reverence. In changing our
locality of business, we have, however. not
altered one iota of our old time principles
of business We expect to be equal to the
demands of tine present times, but we wor-
ship something higher" than the so-called
almighty dollar" Push, vim and energy
are great factors in every undertaking, but
if associated with humbug, swindle and
fraud, they will some time or other come
to an igglorious end, house built upon
sand There died in Washington few days
ago a man ripe in years. for whom the
entire nation mourned, and whose body was
laid to its last rest with the greatest honors
followed by a concourse Of Americas most
distinguished men. Although comparative
ly poor man, he left a rich legacy to his fam
lily. by the side of which diamonds and gold
sink into significance--an honorable, truth
full and incorru ptible life. His name was
Waite, Chief Justice of the United States.
A few days after his demise, there laid
in the last throes of death in New
York, another conspicuous man, also old
in years, rich in worldly possessions Ac-
cumulated by dishonest means, sNindle and
fraud, he died a sentenced convict, and the
doors of Sing Sing were open to him to
meet his partners in crime. He prostltuted
the name of New York city and purchased
with his gold corruptible men TO vote away
a valuable franchise of the city. His death
brought a sense of relief to the entire city
of New York. His remains were followed
only by the members of his family, and IN
the most C andestine manner The name Of
Jacob Sharp is cursed and detested by all
honest men, as well by his confederates,
who either languish in prison or exile
What a forcible lesson the lives of these
two men, Waite and Sharp, teach us.
We are now ready for business, and ask
our old patrons aud as many new ones as
possible to call at 1873 Broughtcn street,
where we will be happy to serve them.
