The most noteworthy feature in this ex-
exhibit, next to the gain in gross receipts,
ia the lack of growth In the net earnings.
There is of course, very decided improve

flattering nature in the comparison of the

as already stated; the net increased less
than So, $4,000. II we compare with 1887
we find an increase Of 49,, 10000 IN gross,
but less than $500, 900 increase in net. But
the most striking result is reached when we
compare with 1879-just a decade ago. In
that year gross was ouly 1874, 900, 0C0, while
now it is $751; 600, 600, or SAT, 100000 larger.
But with this SAT 900, 900 added to gross
receipts. net earnings are actually less than
at that time 1876. 900 Less. Ia other words,
with over one-third more gross earnings
than ten years ago, there is not quite so
much net.

Florists Having Rush to Fill the I'm
mediate Orders.
As the season advances and Christmas
draws near, a lively demand is being made
upon the florists and nurserymen for the
products Of their gardens and hot houses.
The florists trade is not as important in
Savannah as it is in cities of the same size
further north, on account Of the open win
tiers here and the large numbers of people
who raise their own howers. Almost any
one who has small space Of ground to
Gdevote TO the purpose can, with
the aid of cheaply constructed hot-house
or pit, grow flowers throughout the winter.
Many varieties of flowers and shrubs thrive
In the open air, with little protection dur
ing extremely cold weather.
Flowers for decorative purposes are more
Prized In the north than the south, because
of the contrast they present to the wintry
appearance of things, while here the trees
and shrubs hardly lose their green during
The winter, and a little warm spell gives
everything spring-like appearance
Quantities Of beautiful flowers are rails ed
IN Savannah for sale, however. EARLY
camelllas, winter roses. hyaciuths, tulips and
Vlolets find ready sale during the winter
months, especially during the holidays. The
wnlte camellia is very popular flower in
savannah, and the florists seem to have a
good stock of them on hand. They bring
~ cents apiece. The delicate white velvety
ouds are the admiration Of the northern
visitors.
The winter roses are blooming beautifully
now. The varieties offered are the brides,
pearls, Catharine MerInets and Marechel
Nels. Hyaclnths and tulips are making
tneir appearance, and the fiosists say they
Will be plentiful by Christmas.
nile there is comparatively little deco

savannah florists ship large quantities OF

Tho Members of the First Bryan
Church Badly Divided.
The troubles Of the colored Baptists seem
to be epidemic. Just as the congregation of
the Second African church was about TO
settle its difficulties a schism broke out
among the members of the First church.
The pastors in both instances were the bone
of contention. Rev. Griffin has been acting
as pastor since the death of Rev. Z. l. hous-
ton, and for some time feeling of dissatis-
faction has been growing agains him, and q
few days ago two sisters had a woOl-pulling
match over the merits and dement's Of the
pastor.
Sunday, Dec. z, meeting was called for
the purpose of selecting pastor and after
great deal of excitement and amid much
confusion Rev. Griffin was declared elected
to the pastorate.
The opposition, however, was not satisfied
with the result. and gGve vent 20 its feelings
by publishing the card in yesterdays MORN

as a usurpeT and cheap assistant, and denied
the legality of his election.
Trouble was expected at yesterday 8
services, but everything passed OFF peace
ably, and Rev. Griffin still holds the fort.
