Mayor Cheatham Appoints Delegates to Atlanta's Business Convention. Dawson. Ga., Feb. 5. —The state supreme court is to pass upon the appeal from Judge Sheffield’s decision in the Dawson and Blakely cases in which it was sought to enjoin the opening of the dispensaries , in these towns. The Blakely case has been set for a hear ing in Atlanta on next Monday, and the Dawson case will follow on Tuesday. j Messrs. James G. Parks and M. C. Ed wards, Jr., two of our leading attorneys, will represent, the dispensary side of the , question, assisted bx one of-the best known ; and strongest legal firms in Atlanta. The saloon keepers are making an irre ’ prcsslble fight on the dispensary here, and i If they lose in this case as they did in the first appeal, they say' they will try the United States supreme court. The receipts of the dispensary here since it opened has been an average of $88.25. Mayor W. B. Cheatham has appointed Mt .-srs. A. J. Baldwin and .A. J. Carver to represent Dawson in the convention of business men in the state to be held in At lanta on February 11th, for the purpose of fostering minor industriese and discussing I the question of tax reduction. The Reasons of It It is not by accident or by chance that the Ivers & Pond piano is held in such ! high esteem. There is a good reason for it. j The New England Conservatory of Music did not hapen to buy 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 the Ivers & Pond. It was the result I of careful investigation and sound rea son. There are good sound reason why you I should decide upon an Ivers & Pond if I you are going to buy a piano. The reputa | tion of the makers for liberal and fair I dealing is your safeguard. The important I patented improvements found in no other i piano is another reason for deciding in ' its favor. But 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 Ivers & Pond Piano can be depended upon to give the best results and the best wear.
