A Parting.


Where are you Fastening dear old year?
Unto what land are you bound so fast?
Cannot you bide bit? Why should you care
To fade into one Of those shadows vastf
Where you are going-s II always night,
Misty and vague, and full of wraiths
Whose heavy eyelids would shun the light
These piteous ghosts of murdered faiths?
Do the voices we never again will hear,
Echo for you in that wonderful land?
II they send us message, those loved and dear,
Do you think we will know and understand?
You are taking part Of ourselves with you,
That none of us more may claim as ours,
And you, for our rosemary, give us rue,
A sere brown leaf for flowers.
Have you place in that land of yours,
%. unkind year? how you haste to go0
Where you may cherish and guard the stores
Of treasure you've watched and tended so.
Add then-broken dreams unnumbered,
Beauteous loves now slain and cold,
Dead hopes, high aims-all dust encountered,
And fair ambitions, damp with mold.
You may keep them for US until hereafter;
Some time, some where, we shall want our
own,
When sad lips learn the way to laughter.
And grieved, wet eyes shall be unknown,
We shall claim these broken, battered toys
You have glorified and made complete;
Good night goOd-by! to all thy joys,
Some pain we keep-for bittersweetl

George vanderbilt,s Scheme.

Mr.. George Vanderbilt has pur haSed be-
tween 1000 and 5000 acres of land near
Ashvllle, N. c., and he Is gradually in
creasing his possessions there. He has a
lawyer there now looking up titles and
making purchases. The tract which he
has already secured Is splendidly located
and has many natural beauties. 1t is roll
ing, and is traversed by two or three little
streams of clear water which are fed by
never failing springs.
There is great curiosity to know what
Mr.. Vanderbilt proposes to do with his
Asheville property. 1t has many beauti-
full building sites, and it may be that he
intends to improve it and sell it off in lots
to rich men who want a residence in a To-
cality which has both a good winter and
summer climate
The latest suggestion is, however, that he
intends to make it the site of a magnificent
university that will rival the one at Nash
VILE, Tenn, to the success of which his
father and grandfather contributed so
much. He certainly could not put his mil
lions to better use, nor to one from which
he would derive more satisfaction.

savannah's Trees and Squares.


Some of the soil that is being taken from
the streets which are being prepared for
paving, or from the site of the new hotel,
might be used advantageously in improving
those Of the public squares which are in
need of Improvement. In nearly all of the
squares there are irregularities in the sur
face. #ken Johnson's square, which now
presents such an attractive appearance in
comparison with that which it presented
couple Of years ago, would be greatly bene-
fitted by a few loads Of soil. A slight ex-
animation Of it will show that it is by no
means as smooth as it ought TO be. There
are little basins in it which hold the water,
and other defects which mar it. 1t ought
to be made almost as smooth as floor, so
that when the grass is freshly cut no I'M
evenness will be apparent.
All Of the squares have a sufficient eleva-
ton above the adjacent streets. They need
their inequalities removed, however. The
public squares are features of Savannah,
which have added much to her reputation
for beauty. In view Of the fact that an
effort is TO be made to attract winter Wis
itors to her, no effort should be spared to
bring every beautiful feature she has into
as great prominence as possible OF course
it would cost considerable money TO put all
the squares in as fine condition, as Johnson's
square, and yet it is probable that it would
pay TO do so. The more attractive the city
is, the more eagerly will she be sought by
those who are in search Of health and
pleasure.
The shade trees are another feature Of
Savannah which must not be neglected.
The greatest care should be exercised to
preserve the trees which at present adorn
her streets, and others should be planted
wherever they are needed Indeed, it
would not be a bad idea to appoint some
one, having knowledge of trees, to do all
the tree planting, and to have charge of all
the trees of the city. There 10 rea-
son to think that some trees have
been removed, in the removal of
which neither taste nor Judgment has
been exercised. 1t is something of
an outrage to cut down a healthy, beautiful
tree which has been cared for a quarter of
century or more. simply because some
one takes notion that it interferes with
his pleasure, or is not In harmony with his
idea Of the beautiful Let us look carefully
after Savannah's health and beauty, and
the hotel that is being built and those she
now has will not be sufficient to accommo-
date her visitors.

Advertising for 1889.

TIE MORNING News is prepared to re-
new expiring yearly advertising contracts
or make new contracts at its usual low
rates for that class of business. Under this
system advertisers can secure a certain
amount of space in the paper, with the
privilege of changing the matter. from time
to time, as may be agreed upon, at reduced
rates. They can thus keep their business
before the world at all seasons at a nominal
average expense. Newspapers can afford
10 make liberal concessions to contract ad-
vertisers because of the regular and in
creased business secured thereby.
A few hundred dollars expended yearly
in advertising will make an out-of-the-way
store a good stand for business, and give
the advertiser a name among the energetic
and enterprising business men of the city
and put money in his pocket. The success
full men of to-day are those who invest as
much money in printers Ink as they do in
store rents.
The MORNING NEWS circulates every
where in the city, and the country where Sa-
vannahs business men expect TO find buyers
for whatever they have to sell. 1t is read
by rich and poor alike, has thousands Of
readers who never look at any other paper,
and viii give better results for money paid
to it for advertising than any other invest
b,,gfraSe man can ooaEa
While the MORNING NEWS soliclts yearly
contracts, it will also be glad TO make con
tracts by the week or month. and also re.
ceive business for its cheap or "One-Cent-a-
Word columns.

tion at the business office, MORNING NEWS

The fact that there VIII. be a democratic

Of the House are not as firmly grounded in
the faith as they might be. This means,
doubtless, that the republicans are going to

white people shall deal kindly and tolerantly
