large marble font from the Independent
Presbyterian church as return for the
favors conferred upon the latter church by
the former while the Independent Presby-
terians were restoring the building de-
stroyed by the fire il 1889, and of the fra
ternal feeling and Christian fellowship ex-
isting between the two churches.

cepted the offer Of its lecture room as

ing the following inscription
Presented by the Independents Presbyterian

THE SHOP HANDS PAID OFF.

The D!scharg Sd Central Reilr Dad EN-
ployes Get Their Money.
The discharged employees of the Central
railroad shops, ninety-nine In number, were
paid off in full yesterday afternoon. There
were some mutteringsRmong the men yes
terday morning when they thought, in ad-
dition 20 their discharge, they would have
to wait the slow methods of payment of the
Richmond aid Danville. Everything
quieted down, however, when they were
informed that they would be paid off in the
afternoon.
The men took their discharge quietly. In
fact. there was nothing else they could do.
Many OF them sat around the Offices and
depot on West Broad street in groups, en-
deavoring to keep up their spirits by joking
each other, but they were rather disconso-
late, all the same.
Master Mechanic ANTI said Yesterday
that about half the men discharged ranked
as f1rst-class mechanics and the other half
as helpers and laborers. The men were dis
charged according to their ability, the best
men Of course being retained. Mr. ANTI
said there is usually dull period of work
at this time OF the year and some of the men
would have been dropped anyway, espe-
cially as number of extra men were taken
on some time ago to help in refitting q lot

up with their work now, he said, and can
afford to run short-handed for awhile.
Mr.. ANTI said that about the same nuns
Der OF men has been dropped at Macon and
about the same proportion elsewhere
throughout the system.
1t is hard on the men to be dropped at
this time Of the year, especially as things
are dull generally throughout the country,
SO that it will be difficult for them to find
work elsewhere. 1t will be q sorry Christ
mas for them without money and little pros
pect OF getting any soon, and especially SO
70 those that have families.
fortunately a majority of the men
dropped are young men without families.
Two Of them were to be married shortly.
Among the men dropped was Editor
Herb Of the Pooler 1t. Master Mechanic
ANTI is awaiting the next publication Of
Ii with fear and trembling.
The retail merchants were rather dis
mayed yesterday by the news of the cut
ting down of forces at the shops. It means
good deal to them and they regard it as
another heavy blow by the Richmond and
Danville.
Supt. McBee and Supt. Dill are still in
Atlanta and are not expected back before
the latter part Of the week.

Some instructions by the Postoface
About Sending Articles.
The postofice employees are beginning to
feel the movement of the holiday business.
1t is little early yet for the rush of gifts
but the mails for the last three weeks have
been loaded with Christmas correspondence
and orders. The postoffice people aud those
who use the mails always have a good deal
OF trouble during the holiday season about
letters ana packages reaching their destina-
ton, and q good deal of this trouble is
owing to lack of proper directions and
making up OF the packages. The postoffice
instructions on this line are very plain. The
department has sent out the following
circular:
1.-The season is approaching when the
mails will be filed with holiday presents,
and great many are unnecessarily lost,
delayed or damaged each year because of
the Indifferent manner Ia which they are
prepared for mailing.
Newspapers or other thin paper should
never be used for wrapping. and packages
as ordinarily wrapped where purchased are
not sufficiently secure for forwarding in the
mails
"Use strong papers, make solid package
that will not crush easily; tie well with good
Irvine; address legibly and correctly with
ink on the lower right hand corner, and
very few packages will fail to reach dsstina-
ton in good condition.
ut is always advisable to place the name
and address of the sender on the upper left
hand corner of all packages, etc., sent in the
mails, 50 they may be returned In case the
addresses cannot be found. Postal statistics
show that more delays result from incorrect
addresses than from errors in distribution
by postal employees.
'1n case of loss or delay, report the same
TO your postmaster with all the information
that can be given"

PUTTING ON HOLIDAY DRESS.
The Streets Filled With Christmas
Shoppers.

The Streets Filled With Christmas
Shoppers.
Christmas Is but eight days of and a
Christmas feeling lie in the air. Savan-
nahians are hoping there will be some
Christmas weather between now and Dec.
25 instead OK the present July style. The
stores on Broughton street have taken on
their Christmas appearance and lively
trade Is being done in holiday goods.
The people are crying hard
times and the merchants acknowledge
that the season is a little late, but the
probabilities are that the demand for holi-
day presents and Santa Claus outfits will be
about as heavy as usual. Most OF the
merchants have their holiday displays in
the show windows, and others are prepar-
ing TO spring something new and novel
next week. Almost everything to attract
the holiday purchaser and furnish an argu-
ment for the expenditure of money
can be found from the costliest
lewelry to the oommonest knicknacks.
There are not many new things and the
holiday goods are pretty much the same as
are seen every year about this time.
The children come in for the largest share
OF attention. There is no end TO the dolls
There are doll babies for the rich and the
poor, baby dolls, grown dolls, boy dolls,
negro dolls. soldier dolls. dolls from
Ceut 70 S4O eaco- Inc latter
are full sized and already dressed
In silks and laces. OF toys there Is no end,
aud 1t is useless to attempt to describe them
all. There is everything to delight boys
heart, from jumping jack to a drum.
For the children OF O larger growth there
is the usual variety, but nothing especially
new. Handsome assortments of bronze
goods are exhibited at handsome prices.
The stocks Of plush goods. albums, toilet
h0 30 ka
ever. The young lady that doesn't receive
at least one article Of tie plush goods va
riety this year will have reason to feel sad.
The oxydized silver goods so popular last
year have probably gone out OF style, as
they are not displayed in any quantity this
year.
The jewellers have full stocks, with some
new designs. Jewelry is worn more than
ever. and there is a greater demand for fine
goods and unique designs than there has
been for several years. Brooches
and pendants are very popular and
scarf and ribbon pins are In great demand.
Very handsome lots OF silverware are ex-
hiblted by the jewellers.
The disposition in Christmas goods seems
TO be toward the substantial rather than
mere fancy articles. To this end very at
tractive displays of wearing apparel Of all
kinds, handsome dress goods, head gear, un-
derwear and footwear. The shoe stores
have just the loveliest specimens of foot
wear 10 be seen. Handsome scarfs and ties
are being exhibited by the gentlemen's fur
nishing stores. AS presents for brothers
| and friends they W II not come amiss.
All the Christmas issues OF the maya
zines have been received, and the book
stores have full supplies Of Christmas lit
erature as well Fancy stationery will be
as popular as ever, and the stores have
good supply OF various styles on hand.
There are plenty Of irecrackers on hand
and the small boy will be happy.
