After the waters had receded suffi-
Gently to form some idea of the damage
done by the overflow, it at once became
apparent that some means for the relief
of those who lost everything would be
necessary. Acting on this Mayor Eng
land Tuesday appointed Messrs. Ker
win, Jarvis, Max ]. Mayer and d. H.
Miller q committee to solicit aid and
they have already been to see many of
our people. We feel satisfied that our
people will respond literally to their
solicitations and that the wants of all
the needy will be satisfied. Many Of
our public spirited men were hard hit
themselves by the overflow as much of
the bottom lands were owned by them
and they lost heavily in the destruction
wrought by their property, but if every
one will give what his or her means
will allow there should be no trouble in
raising sum sufficient to assist the
needy in tiding over their loss.

IN BEHALF OF GEORGIA BOYS.
Savannah Ladies at Work for Third
Georgia Regiment.

A meeting of the Ladies' Auxiliary Chris
tan Commission was held at
the Y. NJ. c.. A. rooms
yesterday afternoon in behalf of
the Georgia boys in camp near Savannah.
Rev Mr.. Warren, chaplain of the Third
Georgia, was with the ladies last Mon
day afternoon. and told them of the needs
of these boys in the Y. NJ. c. A. tent. and
urged them 10 use their best efforts to
get the necessary supplies for carrying on
this work before the regiment leaves for
Cuba.
The noble hearted women, who have
always the interests of the soldiers at
heart have bravely undertaken at this
most inauspicious season to raise funds
to purchase a small organ, hymn books,
200 camp chairs. and TO secure all of the
reading matter possible before they leave
for Cuba. Chaplain Warren desires that
these things should be secured before
leaving Savannah, as months might elapse
before they would reach their camps in
Cuba
The ladies have already raised $40 and
are endeavoring 10 awaken a deeper in
terest in the hearts of the citizens in the
work for the soldier boys OF the state.
If anyone can contribute one or more camp
chairs or any literature, the ladies' would

may be done as expeditiously as possible

Children of the Seventh street sum
day school Made Happy.
Last night was Christmas tree time with
the Sunday school children of the Seventh

had a glorious time. The celebration be-

hour and a quarter that the children spent
at the church passed unenjoyed.
There was a general distribution of
presents.l Every child got something to
tickle the fancy in addition to fruit and
candy. The school officers, and teachers
we're also remembered, some of them re-
ceiving very handsome and useful pres
ents.
A special programme for the evening
had been prepared, and this was rendered
in a manner that proved particularly en-
joyable for those present. A number of
hymns, appropriate TO the occasion, were
sung by the children. REGULATIONS were
also had, among them being "Daddy's Let

With Full Ranks.
Savannah's Confederate Veterans

There are two camps in Savannah. the
Confederate Veterans Association. one OF
the Oldest survivors organizations in the

Confederate Veterans. numbering in all
between 800 and 100 ex-Confederates. These
camps win probably join hands ana make
arrangements TO represent Savannah with
FUN ranks at the reunion. Quite a number
OF the members are already uniformed and
with a little effort the number could ne
increased so as to take at least a hundred
old boys in gray. BY taking up the matter
now, everything could be put ia shape so
that VIXEN the time comes there would be
little more TO do than Gals the roll. and take
the train. The two organizations are now
meeting In one han. and their union for
this purpose could be brought about with

unable TO assist in the selection of the
next administration for Savannah.
But little that is new in the development

20 get the parties supposed to be vitality
