Merchants Say That the Idea
is a Most Excellent One
for Macon.
THEY WILL SUPPORT IL
i __
They Say that if Patronage War
rants it the Finest Goods W.ll
be Brought Here.
The mer<han>.- of Macon all indorse the '
paper, mention of which was made iu The I
News yesterday, which was read at the i
last meeting of the Current Topics Club
by Mrs. K. J. Willingham advocating the j
«-»tablh>;iment of a home trad, organiza- :
tion.
The plan us set forth by Mrs. Willing- ’
ham was to organize the ladies of the city :
and have them patronize the home mer
chants. In this way the merchants of Ma
con would be protected in bringing on finer
goods and more extensive stocks. A News
representative called on several of the
leading merchants to get their expressions
on this subject.
Mr. R. )•. Burden, of Burden. Smith A
Co., staid that he htartily indorsed the
plan, as a matter of course, ami said that
the ladies of the city could save much
money hy forming an organization of the
kind nu ntioned. “I have always believed i
that th<- only way to build up Macon and ;
any town, for that matter, was to patron- ■
Ize home Institutions. Personally. 1 would
rather pay 10 per cent, more for good.-; ;
here than to send out of the city for them.
There Is no doubt that goods are sold in
Mjuon as cheap or cheaper than any other
city in th<- state. Atlanta merchants can
not compete with us. I think that the New
Year will prove as prosperous as the past
has been. We have done more business in
'97 than we have done in several years.
It is true that the price of cotton is very
low, bn; the restoration of confidence and
the circulation of mom y balances this de
fect. 1 look for a good year in ’9B, arid
th! k that, the people in this section will
be r. ore in position to meet the hard times,
for liny are now beginning to adapt them
selves to the conditions.”
.Mr. J. T. Ridding, at W. A. Dcody &■
Co.'s, aid that t'ne movi was one in the
right direction. "If the ladies of Macon
will patronize the business houses here
they will find that the merchants will
bring lines of goods hero that are equal to
those that they send to large cities to se
lect fro; . Thi re is no doubt of the fact
that we can save them money. 1 saw a
lady a few dhy i ago who sent to New York
for a wrap. She could not find anything in
Macon to suit her. She came into the store
rind I a kid her where she had pur based
the wrap, as it wa identieilly the same
as some that we bad. She told me New
York. After showing her that we had the
same thing, she said that she bought that
one so muelr cheaper. When she bad told
me that she paid S3O for the one she had
on. I offered her the one she was looking
at for $25 and she was astounded. To pat
ronize home Institutions is the only way
to build up the town.”
Messrs. Huthnance A Rountree both
heartily favor the plan, and say that they
know of no better thing for the merchants
rind shopper of Macon. "We cannot afford
to bring on the line of goods that the en
tire patronage of the ladies of Macon
would warrant, for now half of the fine
goods that arc worn in Macon arc bought
in other cHies. when they could be pur
chased here just ns cheap. Wo buy goods
in Manon as cheap as In any other city in
the South, and our expenses arc so iruth
less than are those cf the pier' hart.-. In the
larger places where the Ma on ladles send
to buy. I stands to reason that goods can
be sold lu re as «h< np or cheaper than any
where else, almost.”
The I Mnnenbcrg Company believe like
the rest of the merchants, and they sav
tbat If the Maeon ladles will lend the mer
chants their support that lines of good
will be brought hero that will equal any
displayed in the South.
STOLE A TURKEY.
Excitement on Board a Norwegian Cutter
in Savannah Port.
Savannah. Jan. I.—Considerable excite
ment was created Wednesday afternoon
on board of the Norwegian bark Ole Smith
Ploug, lying at the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway wharft loading cotton.
Capt. Andersen had purchased a turkey
for yesterday's dinner, at which he had in
vited a party of friends. One of the sailors
spied tin* bird and was making arrange
ment* with a man on the dock to cook it
for him. The mate of the vessel chanced
to see the transaction and got hold of the
turkey without being seen, and took it
back to the vessel. He accused the sailor
of having stolen the turkey and a war of
words, which came near being an encoun
ter. resulted. The captain did not go to
the vessel until later in the night. When
he went on board the mate informed him
of the stealing of the turkey. The sailor,
fearing trouble, or perhaps by a pre
arranged contract, jumped in the boat of
a sailor boarding house runner and was
taken away from the vessel. The captain
and mate were very much exasperated at
the stealing of the turkey and the sailor,
but had to be satisfied with the recovery
of the bird.

Was Paid for by Benjamin Clark, a Boston
Philanthropist.
Boston, Mass., Jan. I.—Benjamin Cutler

large quantity of mail had been held for

out something like S6O to clear the lot.
Ti.ls has been his custom for years, but
until thi' year he has always managed to
conceal his name.

Interesting Experiments With
the New Stomach Remedy.
Not a Patent Medicine, But a Safe Cure
for all Forms of Indigestion.
The results of recent investigation have
established, beyond question, the great
value of the new preparation for indiges
tion and stomach troubles; it is composed
of the digestive acids, pepsin, bismuth,
Golden Seal and similar stomachics, pre
pared in lhe form of 20-grain lozenges,
pleasant to the taste, convenient to carry
when traveling, harmless to the most dc-li-
I .-ate stomach, and probably the safest,
most effectual cure yet discovered for indi
gestion. sour stomach, and loss of appe
tite and 11. eh, nausea, sick headache, pal
pitation of the heart, and the many symp-
I toms arising from imperfect digestion of
food. They cure because they cause the
food to be promptly and thoroughly di
gested before it lias time to sour, ferment
and poison the blood and nervous system.
Over six thousand people in the state of
! Michigan alone in 1894 were cured of stom
-1 ach troubles by Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

FATHER’S VIEW
Society Girls Are Jealous of Charlotte
Crane.
Springfield, 111., Jan. I.—Dr. C. C. Bowes,
of this city, father of Charlotte Crane, the
actress, who was asked to leave a ball
room at Charleston, S. C., on account of
the objections to her presence entertained
■ by some of the society ladies present, takes
a good-natured view of the insult offered
j his daughter. The ladies who objected to
; the presence of Miss Crane at the bail
j based their objections on the fact that she
i was an actress. Dr. Bowes says it was
| jealousy that prompted their action.
"1 know about how this affair hap
pened,' said Dr. Bowes, “although it may
seem a bit egotistical on my part to ex
plain it. Lottie is a handsome and viva
cious girl and attracts many friends wher
ever she goes. She is a beautiful dancer
i and I am sure that with her youth and
| beauty and graceful carriage the Charles
ton ladies were jealous of her.”
