Plan to Remove
The Bones of Lee
From Their Georgia Grave
To Rest in the Soil of His
Native State.

Richmond, Va, May 9.-The
Georgia Society Of New York city
has inaugurated a movement to
have the body Of Maj. Gen. Harry
Lee of Virginia, who was buried
in 1918 at Dungeness, Cumber-
land Island, Georgia, exhumed
and returned to the state which
gave him birth and which he hon
nored by conspicuous military
service on both land and sea.
1t is suggested that the patrlo-
tic societies Of the country unite
in paying tribute to his worth,
and that President Roosevelt and
the Governors Of the original
states act in concert on the pro
position to build a monument tC
the memory of the illustrious dead.
The latter suggests that the battle
ship Georgia bring the body tt
some Virginia port.

Harvey Granger is
Chosen as President.

TheSavannah and Southwestern
Railroad Company was formally Or
gained today by the acceptance Of
the charter and making the neces-
sary subscription to the stock OF
the company as required under law.
The organization was perfected
in the office of Captain D. G. Purse,
one of the incoporators. The in
corporators' meeting was presided
over by MI. w. B. Roddenberry of
Cairo, Ga. who stated that the cha
rter had been granted the company.

which the stock of the company
necessary for organization was
subscribed. The company is
capitalized at So, 100000.
Upon the conclusion of the in
corporators' meeting, the meeting
of the stockholders was held and
the following directors elected,
who in turn elected the officers
named.

vey Granger, j. J. McDonough, E..

WINCHESTER. VA, December Is
The prospects for the year 1908 in
Winchester and the county OF Fred
erick are hopefully regarded by the
business men and manufacturers of
this section. Although. a short time
since, 1t was feared that the prevails
ing financial depression would directly

The city has but two very large
manufactures. and they both have ex-
cellent prospects, while those OF lesser

good results as heretofore. There is
more money in the banks than ever.
The farmers have had fine crops, and

prices for the same.
AS Winchester depends to a great

the old town will be as successful and
prosperous in 1908, IL not more SO, than

freely for all purposes, and has aided
the banks IN the transaction of their
business. During the year there has
been gain of 100000 In the banking

In municipal circles the most mpor-

one of tho most important In the his

WARRENTON, VA, December 2s.-
From commercial point OF view.
while on the whole the year Just clos
ing has been attended with Increased
prosperity along all lines. yet 1t has
been most variable year. and business
conditions were spasmodic. Tho fall
season opened With bright prospects.
and October business attained height
unprecedented. but this to the great
surprise and disappointment OF all, was
to be OF short duration. The financial
conditions throughout the country
stagnated business to such an extent
that comparisons from November LIST to
the middle OF December with the cor
responding season In 1906 showed a
decline. From this latter date up until
Christmas the business done exceeded
that OF the same period of last year,
and the month as a. whole may hold its
own with December, 1906.
With these drawbacks 1t is graft
Tying, though, to know that, as stated
in the beginning OF this article. that.
take the year as an entirety, It will
surpass 1906 in business achievements.
One serious drawback that business
houses and collecting agencies have
had to endure has been the slow col
lections. 1t has seriously hampered
business, and probably is one OF the
main causes Of the slump from time
to time. The unrest and uncertainty is
marked. but business man as rule
are hopeful. and look towards the fu-
ture with an optimistic view.
