Two Years of Busi
ness.
MACONf OLDEST
Music House Determines to
Make a Change in Its
Business.
LESS THAN FACTORY COST
Every Piano and Organ in the
House Will be Sold and
ON EASY PAYMENTS.
Sale Will Begin Saturday and Last Ten
Days—Move Causes Great Surprise in
Commercial Circles, for Mr. Irvine
Has A t ways Been the Leader
in the Music Business.
After being in the piano (business in the
city of Macon for over twenty-two years,
E. D. Irvine has determined to close out
entirely his 'present stock of pianos and
organs in order to make a change in his
methods and line of goods.
This determination on his part will
throw uj»on the market every piano and
organ he has in his store, numbering some
sixty instruments, which will be sold at
prices far below the actual cost and upon
easy monthly payments.
For years E. D. Irvine has stood at the
head of music houses in the state of Geor
gia and he has always endeavored to sell
only the very best instruments that money
could purchase. (In the past few months
he has purchased heavily of such pianos as
<,’bickering, Knabe, Kimball, Albrecht,
Fischer, Hinze and other well konwn and
standard makes, and, in consequence, he
lias now in his warerooms probably the
largest stock of pianos ever in one 'build
ing in the city of Macon.
Trade has not ibeen what was anticipated
and now these pianos must be sold at
What they will wild bring, and in order
■to make these pianos and organs go they
will be sold at figures much less than the
wholesale cost and on easy payments.
No such opportunity has ever Ibeen -pre
sented in the city of Macon to 'purchase a
really standard make of 'piano for the price
-these will be offered, and it will only take
a few minutes to step into the warerooms
and see the prices, which will be found
marked on the instruments in plain
figures, both the regular prices and the
selling prices during the sale being given.
This extraordinary sale will open on
Saturday morning, February l&th, and will
continue only ten days, during which every
instrument in the Georgia Music -House
Warerooms must be sold.
Hemember there can be found in these
■warcrooma the Chickering, Kimball,
Knabe, Albrecht, Fischer, Hinze, and
other standard makes that can be
-bought for less than the factory cost, and
on easy monthly payments. If you have
$25 crab, and can then spare $lO per month
you can buy a piano at these prices. Every
body knows these makes of pianos sold
during .this sale, and the names speak for
themselves. The prices are -tagged on
each piano, giving the regular selling
prices and the prices during the sale, so
it is easy to see what great reductions are
made.
There will be offered Saturday morning
fine $350 to $550 pianos for SIS7, sl9", $236
to $298.
Twesity-five dollars cash and $lO per
month buys them.
There will be offered medium size, high
grade pianos, -that retail everywhere at
$325 to $475. for $173, $lB3 to $236.
Twenty-five dollars cash and $lO per
month buys them.
There will be offered pianos in inexpen
sive cases, but of the very best makes,
and fully guaranteed for $l4B, $152 to $l6B.
Twenty-five dollars cash and $lO per
month buys them.
The organs will be sold at prices that
seem simply .too ridiculous to mention, but
$6 cash and $5 a month will buy them.
There is not an instrument reserved in
-this great sale. It will only take a few
minutes to step into Irvine's at 460 Third
etree-t and see the pianos and the prices,
"ion will .then be convinced of this tre
mendous sacrifice that is being made in
this stock.
The sale opens Saturday morning, and
will positively last only ten days.

News is the cheapest advertising medium
in Georgia.

What is Going
On in Society.
In the complimentary notice mentioned
yesterday, and copied from the New York
Herald, of Mrs. McLaren and the position
she occupies in Southern society in New
York, the Herald made a slight mistake
in saying that the Wilsons were Intimate
friends of hers. It seems that Mrs. Mc-
Laren attended the Charity Ball with the
Conde's and sat in their box, which was
very near the cue occupied by the Wil
sons. and in this way the reporter made a
mistake. At the Charity Ball, which was
opened by Mrs. Levi P. Morton, Mrs. Mc-
Laren wore one of the handsomest gowns
seen, an importation from Douct, Peris,
made of pale green satin embroidered in
gold, and elaborately trimmed with su
perb round point lacc.

EAST MACON.
People Over There Think Council Will Do
the Right Thing.
The residents of East Macon who have
been contending for a new bridge across
the river at Fifth street and in which
many of the citizens of the city joined
them, have quieted down, and they say
now that they will await the action of
council.
In his message to that body recently
the mayor urged the necessity of putting
a new bridge across the river, and as scon
•as is practicable the matter will be
brought up for consideration.
In speaking of the matter, Mr. DeWitt
McCrary, who has been a leading spirit in
the contentions, said that the people on
that side of the river felt that council
would do whatever is right in the matter.
On the top of old Font Hawkins, around
which arrows and bullets once tlew thick
and fast, now flourishes an excellent
garden.
The top of the old fort is said to be most
fertile, and not a year passes now but
what it is planted in some vegetable. The
soil is exceedingly fertile, and produces
the most excellent garden truck.

BIG INCREASE
IHUSINESS
Railroad Earnings in the South
and All Over Country Are
Increasing,
UK CLEtRIIGS MEUIIIIEB
Everything Seems to Indicate Ap
proaching Return of Long
Looked For Prosperity,
All the barometers of business show
healthy growth in the entire country. The
south has made good progress, notwith
standing the low price of Its principal crop.
The railroad earnings, the bank clearings
and the growth of industrial concerns all
show that business has an upward tenden
cy. In the meantime there is a slight en
hancement in the market price of cotton.
Business men have had their attention
attratced of late by the January earnings
of the railroads. The increase in earnings
is not confined to any section of the coun
try, and a large majority of all the roads
show handsome gains. Notwithstanding
the depression in the cotton states, due to
the low price of the staple, the Southern
roads make a fine showing fr January.
The accompanying table shows the in
crease for the month:

thoughlessly Ka'igler and his asso

fore, be it

thinking man and woman to condemn in

Mrs. R. Gritzner.
Ladies who are troubled with corns,
bunions and ingrowing nails —and there
are many of that sort —are advised to call
on Mrs. Gritzner,
Surgeon, Chiropodist and Pedicure.
Who understands her business beyond
question, having followed same for
ten years. Her operations are not
oulT painless, but she handles one's feet
so gently that it is a pleasure and a com
fort to be treated by her. While we think
that our practitioners should qualify
themselves to doctor the feet as they do
other portions of the body, but as long as
they do not, the suffering are obliged to
patronize those who make foot diseases a
specialty. Ladies can be treated at their
homes. Charges very reasonable in all
cases. Cali or address, Mrs. R. Gritzner,
