tween here and Sewalrs Point Will be
not more than twenty minutes, and
may be reduced to fifteen.
The cars are substantial, large and
roomy. They are painted olive green.

are named for the States. Thus the
two cars which were used yesterday
were named Virginia" and Ken

Resignation of Rev. Bon c. Herr.

Owing to i'll health. Rev. Ben. c.
Herr, of the Church of Christ in this
city. has resigned the pastorate of
that charge and has left Norfolk for
Colorado. This he has been urged to
do by his physician. In his pastorate
here Mr. Herr has endeared himself
to every member of the church and to
a LARGE number of people outside of
his own congregation. and the scene
was Il sad one, indeed. when his res
ignation was read TO the church on
last Lords day. Mr.. Hers mother
n lady of lovely character. has lived
with him since he came to Norfolk
and she. his wife and baby will all
go to Colorado. Mr.. Herr left Sun
day night and his family left last
night. The best wishes of all who
have known this model family will
go with them. The blow is very
serious one with the church. but the
Lord will provide in some way to fill
the gap.
