Deputy Sheriff Bibb County, OLD PARTNERS GETJTOGETHER Messrs. John Eads and Joe Neel Decide Not to Go It Alone. WILL JOIN THEIR FORCES To Make One of the Greatest Cloth ing Firms in the Country—Sur prise for the Town. The inevitable has happened and Eads & Neel will no longer remain apart. The announcement is made that the firm will in future do business together at the old stand on Cherry street. The announcement that Eads & Neel had divided the house and were to become competitors - was a surprise to the whole public, but the fact that they will go to gether again will not be any surprise at all. Such a step has been looked upon as in evitable. Both of the gentlemen were nec essary one to the other. They have always been warm personal friends, and even when the competition was the strongest they were to be found together during their leisure hours. Then again a combination of their tal ents would of necessity benefit themselves and the public generally. The idea of competition between the two was distasteful to them both, and when that competition became closer, they deter mined to end the division and join forces again. This will throw two of the finest clothing _ stocks in the South into one and will give the people of the city an oportunity to make their selection without feeling that they’ are giving the prefernce to one friend over the other. 'Messrs. Eads & 'Neel are receiving the congratulations of their friends all over the city today among those who know of the proposed change, and when the an nouncement is made public they will find that they have done a very popular thing Henceforth the firm of Eads, Neel & CO4 will flourish like a green bay tree, as it did before, and their business will grow and prosper even more than when each ■was pitted against the other. The formal announcement of the re making of the parnership will be made to morrow. What is Going On in Society. All who ride wheels know that there is a law against using the sidewalk as a bicycle path and in the city this law must be 'remembered and kept under penalty of arrest and fine. The reasons for this law seem not to be understood however, for it is the prevailing fashion to appropriate the sidewalks in Vineville for the wheel, notwitstanding the fact that Vineville is thickly settled and consequently just as much in need of a place where people .can walk in safety as is any residence 'portion of Macon. Every day there is serious dan ger from this practice, and the danger is about evenly divided for those who are walking and for the riders thcmeslves. The pedestrian narrowly escapes being run over by the wheel, and the rider fre quently’ does not escape collision with an other wheel or being passively attacked by an open gate. This last danger ij greater at night, for you must know that this charming suburb is not so brilliantly light; d as are the streets of New A’ork, and that to leave gates open is the rule not the exception. So it will be better for all concerned for the wheels to keep their place in the road in Vineville as strictly as is required in Macon. * « • Miss May Beth Taylor left yesterday morning for Virginia to visit relatives and friends at various points of interest.

Harris & Co., “THE SHOE BROKERS.” FIREANDWATER Have done for the wearers of shoes in this city and section what all the tariff tinkers and all the improved machinery on earth could not do. WHEN? Now, Monday. The sale is on and will con tinue until the last shoe in the stock is disposed of. All ' this must be done within thirty days from date. Not a pair must remain after July 4. This Is no Ordinary Fife Sale; II Is Simply a Sacrifice of De sirable Goods at Fire Prices, One of the peculiarities of trade is that fire always injures the selling value of a stock of goods, no matter how little damaged the stock may be. The public has its prejudices, and to argue the question is a mere waste of time. Bet ter accept the inevitable and sell at half price rather than to try to convince the customer that such and such an article is not damaged. Nor do we claim that the immense stock here referred to was in no wise damaged. We confess that it was. We propose to be perfectly frank about it. —m—jmoj— a— -i a — » ■ afcx—a* Ml , MtM, ■ ■i— VT*I. . 1-T.fxciMnMt.y.as jg'i'rn r~.rr f >cananxMMaa3LX.< »■ -x- ■ As near as we can estimate, about five (5) per 'eent of the Rochester’s stock was scorched by fire, some so much that they are practically worthless, so have been thrown away. Others of this lot, however, were only slightly damaged, perhaps we should say merely blistered by the fire, and there is a 'good deal of wear in some of these. We shall not attempt to put a price on any o‘s this lot. If you can get a fit among them, why we won’t quarrel over the price. 'About 25 per cent, of the stock has been wet, causing, perhaps slight discolorations in the lining, but otherwise leaving the shoe as good as ever—tfor the shoe that can be ruined by one wetting Is not worth having. Most shoes get wet sooner or later anyway, you know, but you continue to wear them and they look a's well as ever. So if you are not particular as to who wet them first, here is a chance for you to pick up two or three pairs for the price of one. EDWIN C. BURT’S SHOES. The world knows no higher standard in Ladies’ Fine Shoes than Edkvard C. Burt's goods. “Burt’s” means “<best” in Ladies’ Shoe’s. They sell everywhere from $3 to $6. No other manufacturer of Ladies’ shoes can get as good a price for his goods as Burt. !Nor is the price out of keeping with the value., die gets it simply because Burt’s Shoes are the standards of fit, style, durability, ease, quality. Think of such shoes, without a scratch or a iblemish on them, going for $2.00 and $3.50. Then you will grasp the idea off what this Fire Sale is to mean—the part it is to play in the shoe history of ’Maicon. We don’t mind admitting that we, too, made a good investment when we picked up the Rochester’s stock at the price we paid==for it is not dam= aged anything like as much as all thought it to be at the time==but this is all the more in the public’s favor; it will simply enable us to make a still larger division to drop the price in proportion to the snug difference in what we got and what we expected to get. Now please hear in mind that we don’t propose to do much more talking about this sale. We feel that the mere an nouncement of this extraordinary oppor tunity to buy shoes at half price and even •less, ought to be sufficient, especially at a time like the present. THIS IS OUR OFFER. IT IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY. WE ARE GLAD TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT. YOU SHOULD BE GLAD TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT. I E. B. HARRIS, Purchaser of the Rochester Shoe Company’s Stock, 519 Cherry Street. iThey have placed within the reach of even the poorest. Over $20,000 worth of shoes at much less than manufacturers’ cost. As for ourselves we state candidly that we wouldn’t give 50 cents a pair for the difference. Yet we are forced Ito allow you a large difference. The same shoes—the same maker’s name, same style, same leather==that we shall ask only $1.25 and $2.50 for cost I you $5 aud $6 before they were wet. Not that the water has hurt these shoes, but have merely tainted them with suspicion. It’s all an idea, but we must bow before it. Now get the facts and the figures clearly fixed in your mind, then come Monday and Verify every statement To be more explicit let’s recapitulate: Five per cent 4 smoked or scorched. At your own price if you want them. There's good wear in many of them. Twenty per cent, wet by the firemen. ’Have fbeen dried and, like any other shoe that has been wet. are as good aS ever, ex cept In looks. These go at One-Third I Price. Worth practically as much as ever. . Seventy-Five Per Cent absolutely un touched by fire, smoke or water. Were j entirely removed from the exact scene of the conflagration. Packed away, as they were in the front shelves, they did not even know the fire was in progress. Look at them and you can’t tell they were ever ever near a fire. We guarantee them to be as good and desirable as ever. These go at about Half Price. Their former value ranged from $1.50 to $6. Divide this by two and find the Fire Price. I A REGULAR TIDAL Waveof Bargains IN FOOTWEAR. WHERE? At the old stand—the Rochester Shoe Company’s place, 519 Cheny st. The store has been tern’ porarily repaired and everything arranged for the accommo dation of customers, with a force of salesmen sufficient to handle the multitudes that will inevitably flock there. JOHNSON & MURPHY Bear in the manufacture of Men’s Fine Shoes a reputation similar to that of Burt. Their shoes are also the standard in men’s wear. They make two kinds and these 'bring $5 and st> anywhere in this country. But we will have to let them go at $2.50 to SI.OO. Two pairs almost for the price of one. Men of Macon, take our advice and supply your needs for the next year to come. You probably won’t get an other such opportunity in a long while. You can make from 50 to 100 per cent, on the investment. And such opportunities are rare these days. HOW? WHEH? WHERE? How? 'By enabling us to purchase from the Insurance adjusters the entire stock of the Rochester Shoe Company at a price that will enable us to practically control the shoe trade of iMacon for a time. , We have frankly stated that about 25 per cent of the stock is damaged; with equal honesty we can say that ,ne other 75 per cent is not —and, yet, it too, is tainted with suspicion. So what’s the use arguing. Though every shoe in this lot is as good and desirable as ever it was, we cannot get I the regular price for It if we talked all summer. Not a thing the matter with any of them except that they had the misfor tune to be under a burning roof. But this , is enough—they won’t'bring more than half the old price. No use- to ask it —the pub lic expects to get a benefit out Os such mis fortunes. 'And so It shall. We have marked $5 and $0 shoes down to $2.00 to $4.00, and all others in proportion. No reason for it ex cept that the public expects the fire price. ’ You would pay double the price for the same shoes in exactly the same condition elsewhere. It is manifestly impossible to name prices on everything in stock, though here are a couple of pointers that we think will give you the correct idea. And bear in mind that everything else is in keeping so far as price is concerned: What we had to say we've said at once, so 'that all may understand the exact meaning and rare attractiveness of this sale. We have been plain, frank, full and to the point in our explanation. We be lieve this is all that should be necesary. WE EXTEND TO EVERYONE, HIGH AND LOW, RICH AND POOR.
