THE NEW CITY HALL.

Editor Morning News The city
fathers will make a mistake if they
build city hall on the present site.
The location is inconvenient for a
majority of persons who have business
there. The site of the Chatham Ar
mory would be more convenient for
the masses. The lot seems larger and
on it can be erected suitable and
handsome structure at a cost Gnclud-
ing cost of LOTT not exceeding that Of
one on the old site The city would
then own two buildings instead of one
and the rentals of the offices in the
old building would contribute largely
toward paying the interest on cost of
new building. Besides, the CITY
would not be at the expense of hiring
offices while the work was in progress
and the officers would be saved the
inconvenience of two removals, in
stead of one.
From am artistic point the arrnory
site is far superior as 1t is in the vi
entity of fine buildings already erect
ed fronting the square, with others in
prospect and a city hall such as Sa-
vannah should have would add to the
beauty of the surroundings. That.
surely, is the spot for the new city
hall.
The removal of the city offices from
Bay street would not affect the value
of property on that street to any ap-
preciable extent.
Doubtless the Chathams would take
long lease of a room in rear for a
gun room and place of meeting as
part payment for the property.

A NEW DEPARTURE,
A New, EffectuaI and Convenient
Cure for Catarrh.


OF catarrh remedies, there is no
end, but of catarrh cures, there has
always been a great scarcity. There
are many remedies to relieve but very
few that really cure.
The old practice of snuffing salt
water through the nose would often
relieve, and the washes, douches,
powders and inha1ers in common use
are very little, if any, better than the
old fashioned salt water douche.
The use of inhalers and the applica-
ton of salves, washes and powders to
the nose and throat to cure catarrh
is no more reasonable than to rub the
back to cure kidney disease. Catarrh
is just as much a blood disease as kid
ney trouble or rheumatism and it can
not be cured by local treatment any
more than they can be-
