DUNCAN UNDECIDED
| President of Water Board
Accepts Council’s
* Overture.
As the result of the resolution adopt
ed by council Monday, Frank P. Rice,
president of the board of water com
missioners, will withdraw his resigns,
tton as a member of the board.
President Rice stated as much to a
representative of The Georgian Tues
day afternoon.
"I regard the adoption by council of
the resolution by Mr. Martin Monday."
he stated, “as a vote of confidence in
me and In the board, and the resolution
distinctly states thRt council meant
no reflection In adopting the Key ordi
nance.
"I had been away In Florida, and my
first knowledge of that ordinance came
at that meeting the other night. Natu
rally, I took It aa a reflection and as an
indication of lack of confidence, and I
resigned.
"I have been asured that such was
not the case and my friends and the
people of the city generally have urged
me to stay on the board since council
udnpted the resolution Monday.
"I think I will withdraw my resigna
tion under the circumstances, and I
hope Mr. Duncan, who has done good
service, will also reconsider.”
Mr. Duncan Undecided.
W. S. Duncan, the other member of
the board, said he had not made up his
mind positively as yet.
I will let you know Wednesday." he
said,- "and I shall attend the Joint
meeting Wednesday afternoon, Inas
much as my resignation has not been
uccepted and out of courtesy.
“The adoption of the ordinance I
consider as a reflection on the board,
and some of the discussion at the coun
cil meeting Monday was rather In the
nature of slurs. It appears that council
lias not the confidence In the board It
should have.
"However. I will not make a definite
decision until Wednesday."

him, this remarkable purchase of seventy high-class Tailored Suits—especially bought and arranged

for the opportunity we gained.

New and beautiful, the garments are carefully made and in latest fashion—charming Suits in
deed; not one of them has ever been shown here before.
There is another great feature. Variety. More important yet. There are even 51 styles—and
among 70 Suits, tfiis means there are only a few alike, hence practically exclusive. Suits of Voile—

ties of Worsted and Suitings. All the bright spring shades and most attractive combinations are
shown.

It’s just as important for you to feed your hens a well bal
anced ■feed if you want to get the full amount of eggs, as it
is to feed a man or horse. A hen gets just as tired of eating
exactly one thing at every meal as you would. Our Midland
Poultry Feed is just the right feed for chickens. It contains
a variety, a combination of just the right things to keep them
in good condition. It’s the kind that you buy 10 pounds of
(25 cents) as a. trial and when that is gone you tell us “Send
me out a 100-ponnd sack of Scratch Feed for $2.00.” We re
ceive this in solid car lots and a carload don’t last long. Buy

material or workmanship can be sold
anyway near the prices we are closing

They are the greatest values in At
lanta at regular prices. At this sat ri
fles sale they are bargains no one
should allow to pass hy, if in need of a
Plano now. or In a year or so. We will
quote each bargain In detail, but as a
hint of what will offer today we men
tion the following:
3187 for new pianos, Instead of 3375.
3214 for new models, instead of |3.jO.
3247 for latest styles. Instead of 3400.
3450 and 3300 pianos at about a third
to a half off.
Player pianos at greatly reduced
prices, and on our easy pay plan.
Terms on pianos: Sale price under
3250, 310 cash and 38 monthly. On new
