THE REVIVAL

The meetings at Golfers warehouse
viii close tomorrow evening. They
have been largely attended and most
interesting. and have been productive
of great good Whether we agree in
theology with the preachers or not,
none OF US can deny that these meet
ings always promote the moral health
Of a community and result in clean
er and more elevated living by many
who would otherwise be careless. Rev.
Bob Jones has made many friends, and
nobody need suppose that he has made
much money After all expenses are
paid, there won't be much over, and a
man Of his ability could pile up much
bigger stack of dollars al some other
calling Most Of the church people are
well pleased with the revival and the
one that preceded it. They have had
one long love-feast, in which denomi-
national lines have been forgotten in a
sincere desire for the general religious
good. Whether you be Christian, care
less, pagan or infdel, go hear the re-
yivalist tomorrow. He will interest
you and give you some new ideas
whether he converts you or not.

The members of the council think
that the settlement of the long-stand-
ing dispute between the city. and the
Atlantic Coast Line in regard to the
freight depot is in sight-in fact, all
that is necessary is for the railroad to
go to work and carry out its contract
according to the plans agreed on by
the councilmen at Thursday nights
meeting.
These plans, as the Star said yester-
day, require the railroad to build a
large and up-to-date depot on South
Main street, to take the old depot out
of Osceola street, to change its tracks
so as to clear Main street and to i'm
prove it's crossings in the city. The
city in return will allow the railroad
to close South Sixth and Seventh
streets.
The Stars proposition, that the rail-
road should remove all it's yards south
of South Eighth street was considered
individually by several of the council
men, also by Messrs. Meffert, MacKay
and other business men whose firms
have much hauling to do. They con-
ceded that the plan had it's merits
but objected to it for the following
good reasons. It would put the depot
too far from the business center, and
would locate the yard in territory thai
bids fair to be pretty suburb in q
few years
AS for giving UP the streets withoui
receiving any pay, nobody thinks it i:
right, but we are all accustomed tt
being imposed on, so this additional
imposition will not kill any of us.

the railroad to lay it's crossings in the

this yesterday, showing how the fang,
