HOME MARKET CLUBENDORSEO 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. DETAINED MAIL.
