Our past record fully warranted the ladies of Albany and South Georgia to expect much. They knew that our showing would be complete and correct, from the simplest and most inexpensive edging to the most elaborate and costly embroidered robe.

The beautiful matched sets-all-overs, edgings, insertings, floitnciugs, corset cover embroideries in mull, swiss, nainsook and cambric; the popular medalion effects, the novelties in drawn work, and the exquisitely beautiful '•‘Baby Irish” have all found eager purchasers to the extent of hundreds and hundreds of yards.

Another close call for the New Al bany hotel was recorded last night, when fire gained dangerous headway close under the rocf of the annex and gave Chief James and his men an un usually anxious half hour. - The fire was discovered a little be fore 9:30 o’clock. At that hour a vol ume of grayish smoke was seen pour ing from the eaves o' the building im mediately over the main entrance. The firemen -went with a line of hose through the office and up two flights of stairs. It was apparent, that the seat of the trouble was between the roof and the ceiling of the third floor. There were no vents in the roo", and the firemen found that the entire space above the third floor apartments was steaming hot, besides being filled with a dense volume a! smoke. Entrance to the loft was made through a scuttle-hole in the ceiling of the hall on the third floor. The whole space was drenched with water and after holes had been cut In the roof so that some of the smoke might escape the still smouldering fire was quenched. It was hard, trying work, but the firemen stood their ground as they have so oten done in the past. The fire did not spread after they reached the scene, though it. was fully an hour beforev Chief James drew off his forces, satisfied that all danger was past. There was comparatively slight damage to the building from fire, though the loss from water is quite heavy, as was to have been expected. Water that was poured into the loft fell on three floors, saturating plaster ing. timbers and furnishings. Dozens of fine carpets were almost ruined, and bedding was soaked before it could be removed. Furniture re ceived a drenching, and the wood work \vas badly stained. A number of guests o' the hotel were driven from their rooms, and new places could hardly be made for all o’ them. The damage was confined to the front portion of the new sec tion o' the building, erected only a few years ago. At the New Albany It was stated this morning that it was not yet pos sible to estimate the damage, though it was the opinion of the representa tive of the owners, Wilson & Bald- COLONEL ED. R. JONES RECEIVES A REPLY. Some More Ideas and Suggestions for Consideration of the Public. Editor Herald: Mr. Ed R. Jones 1ms advanced and published a • ew suggestions In your paper which arc discussed in a favor able manner. Regardless of these, matters of greater magnitude are now presenting themselves, one of which Is boundary streets. The exigency of the needs o' Albany demands that someone reply to the communication of Mr. Jones and convince the people of the advisability of laying out boundary streets. - You will note that on the boundary line of the old limits, running from Society to Planters street is only an alley. From Madi son street to this alley Is a block- five acres east and west. From this alley west, the limits, I am Informed, extend G60 yards. It seems that streets and alleys should be made through this property. The Income from taxes, should this be done, would be an Important Item, and would over pay the outlay. / This boundary street should be giv en by the owners of the property and balance purchased by the city at once for a nominal sum, as few If any cottages are on this so-called /right-of way. But delay this vital matter, and improvements this year would ndvance the value tenfold and " the price would correspondingly advance. Any citizen can readily see that the city should own this street and prob ably will buy it, but a delay would be serious. It seems that Mr. Jones, for $25.00 cash, balance $5.00 per month, will sell all ot tis 0314 acres of land—this i property. See him. Yours, etc., It ' JONES.
