their dsshing captain of the dark days of
the war.

hold their meeting on Oct. 26 as advertised,
on account of the rain, and it has been sug-

their veteran comrades of Savannah and
elsewhere in forming a state association on
the plan proposed by the Savannah veterans

will strike Guyton at an early day. 1t is

The patrons of the Milen accommodation
regret the necessity which takes from Sa-
vannah the clever and accommodating
master of train service of the Central rail
way. MIR. Norman has been very closely
Identified with the patrons of the road, and
all wish for him success in his new home.
They indulge the hope that Supt. Hege
will be permitted to remain with head
quarters in Savannah. Supt Hege has
made many warm personal friends among
the patrons of the road along it's line. who

take him to another place. He is not only
deserving, but capable, and easily ap-
preached by the humblest employe of the
road, and its patrons.
