Black and white. 1 Price 75c Some Beautiful Spring Novelties For Chautauqua We were awfully afraid they would not get here for Chautau qua—these Spring Novelties. There has been such an overwhelm ing demand on the manufacturers this season for the new* foibles of fashion. Orders that were placed months ago are still un shipped. The great bulk of business has even swamped the rail roads, and much-needed shipments have been provokingly delayed. But luck, and what is better than luck—a foresight born of of closest touch with the fashion centers—have conspired to give us this week all that was lacking to make our wonderful spring # stock really magnificent in its comprehensiveness: The new things shown this week are NEW things—the very latest and most favored creations of fashion. The things you read about in the recent and most authentic fashion journals. And just as they were described, you will find them here, in all their springtime beauty and freshness, holding their places in this splendid stock. It is no wonder that our sales this spring have shown such wonderful increase. There is ample justification for this growth in the stock—larger, finer and more complete than any we have ever shown—and in the unusually good values, which, through careful, competent and timely buying, we are able to offer. But why repeat what you must already have learned in visit- ing our store? Yet there is so much about this store that we want you to know—so much that you should know. But it would hardly be timely to begin now, so come down .tomorroMf and let us finish fitting you for Chautauqua! Hofmayer, Jones & Co. = Better Soda.

A handsome vestibule passenger coach has recently been made a part of the equipment of one of the daily passenger trains running on the At lantic Coast Line between Albany and Brunswick. The announcement Is. made that In the course of a few weeks a similar coach will be given' each of the three other daily trains between the same points, The coaches designated for this service have lately been running on the winter tourist trains to and from Florida points and compare favorably with the best day I coaches on trains in this section. | This first of the vestlbuled coaches to be put on the B. & W. caused n funny thing to happen a few days ago. i A resident of Worth county had j been spending the morning in Albany j and hurried to the depot a little be-1 fore 2 o’clock to catch the train due to leave over the Coast Line at that hour. He was a little late, and as he rushed onto the dopct platform the train was pulling out. Throwing several of his bundles up on the, rear platform and holding other packages under one arm, he swung up the steps. Getting his bundles to gether again he entered the vestibule coach. Then his jaw dropped, his eyes op ened wide, and he stopped In evident dismay. He looked at the luxurious seats, and up at the handsome decora tions on the walls and celling of the coach. Suddenly the expression of bewilderment fled from his face, to be succeeded by one of settled conviction. Grasping his bundles more tightly he turned and bunded through the door by which he had just entered. He ( passed down the steps, and jumped to the ground just as the coach was about to go upon the river bridge. ; Walking back to the depot the Worth countinn accosted a man in blue overalls and asked: "What time does the Coast Line train leave for Sylvester?" ‘That's it y >u just jumped off of," was the reply. The man with the bundles looked longingly at the line of black smoke which was fast lengthening in the dis tance on the other side of the river. As he turned toward the waiting room he remarked as if to himself but loud enough to be heard: “Wonder what’s next* First it was coal burners on the old road, and ev erybody said Boss Plant turned over in his grnxt*. I reckon he must er busted the tombstone when he heard that the new gang had put a vestibule coach on the cigar box train.’’ - ward glance, but did not stop. Throw ing back his head, he proceeded on his way as ‘though he didn't know’ there w r as such a thing as corn whiskey. He even undertook to whistle a tune. But Policeman Walden happened to be standing near, and was a witness to the comic little tragedy. “Hi, there—you!" he called to the young man. The latter stopped, and the officer continued: “Come back here antf throw that glass outside.” The young man obeyed, while the crowd’looked on and smiled. But the young man couldn’t scare up any more whistle. They tell this one on a drummer who visits Albany frequently: He was down in a little country town not forty miles awn?. He was doing his level best to sell a bill of tobacco to an old merchant who is noted for his honesty and for hid faithfulness to the houses with which he has been doing business for years. “Mr. C., you need 100 pounds of this brand, and you need fifty of that. You can’t get along without It—you really can’t. And if you don’t make this brand your leader, your competitors will simply run you out of business." That is a sample of the drummer’s shop talk. The old gentleman listened patiently for some time. Finally he called to his son, who was at woik in the back part of the store: "Oh, George," he said: “lock the safe, and bring the keys here. I’m going to turn ’em over to this drum mer. He knows all about our business and we don’t know a darn thing, so we might as well turn it over to him and l^t him get it going right. Hurry up, George." The drummer went out by a side door. t MANY TICRETS SOLD. Sale of Season Chautauqua Tickets Larger Than Ever Before. SAVANNAH BAND COMING TO ALBANY.

Here is another one that happened at the depot: A young man in a gray suit and with a brown derby on his head came hur rying across the platform to catch the noon Central train. While he was thirty feet away from the coach which he intended to board a quart flask fell from his hip pocket It was stuttered on the platform. A widening puddle appeared about the brown wrapping paper, and the mellow aroma of good com liquor filled the air. The young man gave one swift back ed.

The cit izens are responding most generously to the appeal of the committeemen and nearly everyone is buying one or more tickets. Mr. S. B. Brown, who with Mr. R. L. Jones, solicited sales on Washington and Pine streets, stated to a Herald reporter this morning that they had sold over 200 season tickets and would probably sell from 20 to 30 more in their territory. This number exceeds considerably the number that was sold over the same territory last year, and last year the sales were larger than ever before. The other commit tees are meeting with good success. This is an evidence both of the growing interest in Chautauqua and in the increased number of residents in the city this year. Albany will grow right along with the Chautauqua, and the Chautauqua will grow right along with Albany. The growth of the one stimulates the growth of the other. Which Comes to ’Chautauqua. Special to The Herald. Savannah, Ga., April 19—The Wood men of the World band of Savannah will leave next week to play at the Albany Chautauqua. This is the first engagement this bund has received for an occasion of this kind, and the members are very anxious to show what they can do. The Chatham Ar tillery will go down the day after the band goes and remain two days at the Chautauqua. The continued warm weather is fast forcing out the foliage of the trees. To the stranger who passes through Albany the contrast between it and the towns of North Georgia is most striking. There the leaves are just beginning to show themselves, .while here they look almost full grown. Quite a number of passengers passed through the Union depot this morning. It was a rather busy time for the trainmen. How about a new harness now? Would you buy one if we coaxed you with a low price? Come in tomorrow and we’ll show you just what we mean by a low price.
