THE VALDOSTA - TOMES,' SATURDAY, JANUARY !«, 1909

A
The policy of this store for nearly five years has been "ONE PRICE TO ALL”1and goods marked in plain figures. It is well known that we handle only reliable
-merchandise, and that our prices are always reasonable for the grade df goods we sell. At the end of each season we reduce our prices to enable us to lower the stock,
rather than carry the goods over to another season. Our saies are not'fakes, they are honei reductions. We just say to you that we will allovl a certain discount on
certain articles, and the original price r< mains on the articles. You can therefore be s^e of a Square Deal. The discounts quoted are so great that if you were a mer
chant yourself you could not buy thtf goods at the prices they are now selling for, though ylu bought hundre^s-ycs thousands, of most of them. Just stop and think
what you save, and remember that the worst of our winter is yet to comq. ^ / '

(From Thursday's Dslljr.)
Thif directors of th* Odean Pobd
FlshjijjanV Hunting Club want
<t°W»s tfl. Ocean Pond yesterday at-,
ternoon to attend .s meeting there
last! night for the purpose of Inspect'
lng the work that has recently been
done and to accept the building from
the building committee.
The building committee was com

Messrs. M. A. Briggs, W. N. Harrell,
A. S. Pendleton and Charlea F.
Clarke. In addition to tbese, Messrs.
B. S. Richardson, J. G. Crsnford and
W. B. Fender are local director! and
Mr. Ablal Winn la the secretary and
treasurer of the company. All of
them were present at the meeting
last night and besides them were
Mayor Roberts, Messrs. B. G. Las-
tlnger, A. J. Strickland and Philip
Pendleton, who : re members of thu
club.
Before the meeting an elegant tur
key, flab and game supper was (err
ed In the little dining room. A twen
ty-eight round turkey had been se
cured for'the feast snd plenty of
fish were caught from the lake dur
ing the afternoon. There was cran
berry sauce, good hot coffee and ev-
erythlng else that could add to a
first class feast.
At the conclusion of the (upper,
Mr. Brlgge offered a coffee-toast to
_ Dr. N. A. Williams, whose mind con-
” cefved the club Ides snd who had
worked long and hard to make it a
success. Mr. Briggs declared that
the elpb was the safety ralre to the
busy men who belonged to It. Dr.
Williams responded In a manner that
showed his appreciation of the' com
pliment that was paid him. Another
toast was offelred to the building
committee which has been so faith
ful In discharging their duties.
Something About tha Quarters.
The club house Is now a completed
structure and It Is, for comfort, eon-
Tenlence and elegance the equal of
any club house In the country. The
J building -was erected four or Use
Tears sgo„ hut was not qompleted.'
While the exterior-was handsome,
the rooms .were .not celled snd the
baildlnit wit' liekfiig 'in other re-
(poets. \ "
Boms time ago ibis directors of the
club decided to oompiete their club
bonss ant' the committee named
above was appointed to Jook after
tbe work. Contractor Will Gibson,
of this city, bad’charge of tbs work
of construction, and Messrs. Contes
and Wblts were:in charge of tbe
painting. ‘ w c \ <
All of tbe rooms‘have been celled
and painted, new windows added
where tbey will add to the comfort
of tbe place In the-summer months,
a new and larger dining room baa
.been built, a sitting room, provided
with a huge colonial chimney and d
broad llre-place, was also added. New
mattresses and beddHfg for the bed
rooms. were bought.' snd the entire
place has,'been made as cosy and
comfortable as any home In Valdosta.
Tbe new dining room forms a wing
on the west side of the bouse snd
adds much to tbs appearance of the
structure. It baa eight or ten win
dows and Is so arranged that the
four large tables get plenty of light,
as well ns good breezes all of the
time. There Is a smaller dining
room which Is kept for Small parties.
There are tlso two kitchens, one
with t smajj and the other a large
range.’
Among the other improvements Is
the new gas machine for lighting tbe
building, acetylene gas being used
Tbe latest Improvements have been
gotten by the commltttee and tbe en
tire house Is provided with orna
mental gas globes, making the place
as bright by night as by day.
The club houso la admirably ar
ranged for comfort during all sea
sons.^ The rooms are snug and cosy
In winter, but are provided with ven
tilating windows, besides the regu
lar windows, through which good
breeses blow during the summer. Al
together, It Is an Ideal place.
It would hardly be right to fay
much about tbe club house and sur
roundings without mentioning Bob
Woods, the colored man. who looks
after the place and studies the com
fort of those who go there. He Is
really one of the charms of the de
lightful place.
The Club’s Splendid Property.
Tbe Ocean Pond Fishing and Hunt,
lug club hare property there that
will grow In -value as long as time
runs. Ocean Pond Is probably the
finest body of water In Georgia, taken
for all In all. It is deep snd jts water
Is fresh. It’s nearly three milet
long and Is over a mle wide.'Daring
windy weather the breakers there
are almost like those on the sea.
lake U literally alive with fish,
trout, bream and Bpeckle perch pre
dominating. s ^
Besides the waters, the club owns
valuable timber and farm lands ad
joining the lake. They have been of
fered twenty-five thousand dollare
for their holding*, but it Is doubtful
M double that amount would InduCu
the member* to part with It.
Nothing I* more :beautlful' .than
aun-set on Ocean Pond.'Mdt evening

clouds, the rime of which were tip

splendid colors, mirrored In the lake

beauty.
When Valdosta 1 becomes a city, of
fifty thousand people Ocean Pond
will be a! valuable as thougld'srira
silvery wave that ripples upon Its
surface were the' precious metal
Itself. As Mr. Brlgga said last night.
It win be the safety valve of . the
tired, wornout business men to whom
It belongs and who have made It a

Moultrie Observer/
At a special meetlhg' of the direc
tor's of the Savannah Board or Trndo
yesterday a resolution was passed
asking that Congress Impose a duty
per cent ad valorem on all ni-
of surpassing j val stores brought Into the United
States. s
This action was taken as a rae.il
of protecting tbe Industry fiom the
Importations from France, which
have reached considerable volume
during the last year.
It Is anticipatory also of tho de
velopment of the Industry In Mexico
and Honduras In the revision of tho
tariff which Is expected to come
during the administration of Mr.
Taft, It la deemed but the part of
prudence to take steps to save tho
industry so far as possible from the
Invasion of foreign competition.
Naval 8tores Tariff.
Tbs arlff of 25 per cent Is not re
garded as a high protective tariff by
tho members of the Board of Trade.
“All tariff duties ate moro or less
protective.’ said a member after the
mcetlnc “'but the tariff which
asked for naval storca Is a low tar-
competition with our American pro
duct 'with the fetult of tending to
furthr depress prices to the hurt snd
Injury of American producers;
And, Whereas the development of
the naval (tores Industry in Hondu
ras end Mexico renders It likely that
Import's of navel stores from those
eountrlek may reasonably bs expect
ed In the near future;
Aqd, Whereas In.tbs readjustment
and, revision of the tariff schedules
It Is meet proper and reasonable that
the - product of the varan* Notions
of our common country should be
trotted with Impartiality and with
out discrimination to the end that
the burdens, of taxation he equitably
distributed over nil the iwople of the
union ns n whole;
Therefore, be It resolved.by th*
Board of Directors of the Savannah
Board of Trade that our senators
and representatives In Congress be
C d they hereby ere requested- to
fe and Insist upon tbe laying of an
Import duly on the naval (tore* of
not let* than J5 per cent ad valorem.
