There is a good reason for it. The New England Conservatory of Music did not ha pen to buj 227 Ivers & Pond pianos in preference to other makes. There is a reason for it. It was not merely good luck that led nearly two hundred of the most prominent musical and educa tional institutions in the country to se lect tile Ivers X Pond. It was the result of careful investigation and sound rea son. There fire good sound reason why you should decide upon an ivers X- Pond if you are going to buy a piano. The reputa tion of the makers for liberal and fair dealing is your safeguard. The important patented improvements found in no other piano is another reason for deciding in its favor, put it is the watchful and pains taking care that follows every piano from start to finish, and the conscientious and intelligent attention given to even the smallest details of construction that is the reason why the Ivors & Pond Piano can be depended upon to give the best results and the best wear.

A committee was appointed to look into the mater and report at the meeting to be held next Thursday. It was decided to invite the Union Lum bermen’s Association, which is now tour ing through Georgia, to stop over here on next Tuesday morning on their way borne. A committee of five will be appointed by ■the chairman to arrange for the enter tainment of the guests. The lumbermen will be entertained at the expense of the Chamber of Commerce. While in the city they will be taken around and shown all the manufacturing inn-rests here and given a ride over the city. Mr. John M.

In the party are some noted journalists, and it is hoped by the Chamber of Com merce to display to these men the many advantages that can be offered to those who want to locate in the South to come to Macon.

Bribery Investigatiors Say They Have a Big Sensation. Columbus. 0.. Feb. 4. —‘Notwithstanding reports to the contrary the Senate bribery investigation committee is not nearly dune with its work. Much more testimony will be offered this week. No report will be made this week. Those in charge of the matter say thew have something up their sleeves which, when sprung, will create a further sensa tion. It is very probable, however, that most of the testimony regarding the Otis mater has been taken, and that further testimony will relate to other bribery charges. The reports which were sent out of Co lunibus Friday that Mayor McKisson and his follewers had given up the idea of con testing Hanna's seat, is without foundation in fact. The anti-Hannaites are just as confident as ever that they will be able to substantiate the charges they have made and to make a good case against Hanna. The committee met yesterday afternoon Campbell, of tbthar rthar htrhtrthtrtbiar and finished the examination of T. C. Campbell, who acted as attorney for Rep resentative Otis. (Nothing new was sworn to. The committee adjourned subject to the call of the chair. Senator Lake F. Jones. Democrat, who says he was offered $1,500 to vote for a straight Democrat or $5,600 to vote for Hanna, will likely be examin ed Wednesday. THEY FORGED CHAIN OF TITLES. The Lawyer Ought to Have Known Better If the Carpenter Didn’t, Dublin, Ga., Feb. 3. —J. L. Battle, -an at torney. and Elisha Evans, a carpenter, both of Dexter, in this county, were con victed of forgery in the superior court here yesterday, with a recommendation by the jury that they be punished as a misde meanor. Judge Hart presiding, stated that he would respect the recommendation and sentenced them to pay a fine of $750 each or serve one year in the chaingang. They were squatters upon the lands of Colonel Dudley Hughes, and had forged a chain of titles as far back as 1535. Battle was born and raised in Warren county and moved to this section six years ago. when he practiced his profession. Evans is from Dodge county and originally worked at the carpenter's trade. This case has been in rhe courts several ; ' years and was vigorously contested by : I both sides. The state was represented by j Solicitor Lewis, Colonel Stubbs, of Dub- i : lin. Judge Roberts, of Eastman, and Colo- ! nel Shannon, of Jeffersonville. The de fense was represented by Battle himself \ and Attorneys High to web & Griner, of [ I Dublin. After two weeks of laborious ‘ work, Judge Hart will adjourn court here ; Friday, having tried over one hundred cases. Advertise in The Newe and reach the people. .HIS MOTHER'S TOMB. When the Mother of Andrew Jackson is Buried. Ansted, W Va., Feb. 4—Ansted is a mining town of about 2,000 inhabitants, on the old James river and Kanawha Turnpike, ten miles east of the great Kanawha Falls, in Fayetee county, Va. : On a hill overlooking the town is the grave i 'of the mother of Thomas Jonathan (Stonewall) Jackson. The grave is mark- I ed by a plain marble slab, inscribed as i follows: “Here lies Julia Beckwith Neale, born February 28. 17S8, in London county, Va.; ‘ married, first, Jonathan Jackson; second, ! Blake B. Woodson; died, September, 1831.” j "To the mother of 'Stonewall Jackson,' this tribute by one of his old brigade.” The grave remained unmarked and un known except to a few who helped inter the body until after the son bad won dis tinction in the civil war. Its location is accounted for by the fact that, at tne for mation of Fayette county, in 1831, the governor of Virginia appointed Blake B. Woodson clerk of the county court of the new county, and he removed to Ansted, the county seat then being at Mountain Cove, wo miles east of the present town of Ansted. Another old landmark in the history of the country, which is still plainly discern able at various points near Ansted, where the primitive forest has not been dis turbed, is the old "Indian Trail,” leading : from Virginia to the Northwest Territory, i and which was traversed by Washington i and other characters distinguished in American history. RAILROAD CONGRESS. Atlantic Coast Line Takes Charge of the Old Read and Makes Changes. Augusta, Ga., Feb. 4 —Since the pur chase of the Charleston and Western Carolina railroad b.v the Atlantic Coast Line a few weeks ago the officials and em ployes of the former board have been on the anxious seat. The officers and head quarters of the Western Carolina road are here and the general manager, W. J. Craig, and Auditor Mills have quite a corps of clerks. How many heads would be chopped off by the new owners of the line has ben a subject in which many peo ple were interested. Today it is given out that the office of general manager and the office of auditor have both been abolished, but Manager Craig will be continued as general freight and passenger agent and Mills as cashier, with practically the same duties as be fore. Superintendent Anderson remains as superintendent. Air. Craig has been general freight, and passenger agent of the system for several years, but just before the purchase of the road by the Coas>t Line he was also made general manager in connection with the duties of general freight and passenger agent. The Coast Line abolishes the general manager and keeps him in his old position. The corps of clerks are still in suspense. It is not known who will be retained and who will have to go. The hope is held out that positions may be given to some of those who are deserving, under the Coast Line, at Wilmington.

C.. Feb. 3—Senator Hanna Is known to be very much alarmed over the developments in the Ohio bribery investigation. He has received a number of letters urging him to allow the man agers o f the telegraph and telephone com panies and the banks to speak out freely on the case, as his indifference is causing unfavorable comment.
