Some Big Bargains of the Third Week of the Dissolution Sale
Only 14 More Beautiful Silk Suits Left Trimmed Hats Cut SO per cent, and More
Think of it! Of all that great line of Silk Suits,
barely more than twelve left. Only four of these are
the Coat Suits, and ten are Shirtwaist Suits. If we
happen to have your size, thje opportunity for a sub
stantial saving is too great to be ignored. The way
they went tells the story of their values at Dissolu
tion Sale prices. And, by the way, only twenty of
those Linen Suits, so popular for midsummer wear,
remain. Less than a half score of the finer Skirts,
cut from $12.50 to $8.75, and from $17.50 to $12.00,
are left. But of Waists there is a seemingly inex
haustible supply. All the sales of the two weeks still
leave the stock with satis-
We haven’t had/tnuch to say about the splendid
Millinery values yet, but many have found their way
into this department and have .been richly repaid for
their trouble. The reasonable prices that have pre
vailed throughout the season in the Millinery De
partment have been recognized by all. During the
Dissolution Sale, the prices of all our Trimmed and
Walking Hats, the Phipps, the Gage and many ex
quisite and exclusive creations from our own work
rooms will be 50 per cent., and less, of their former
prices. This means a $5 hat for $2.50, a $10 hat for
$5, A $15 hat for $7.50, a $20 hat for $10.
New Queen’s Grey Shadow Plaid Worsteds
A delayed shipment of these popular Woolens
has just arrived, and, as everything else, it is being

Another Up-Stairs
Item
On the second floor you
will find a manufacturers’
sample line of Baby Caps
and Children’s Summer
Hats. There is a varied
assortment of Caps for In
fants of all ages. They
were marked originally at
manufacturer’s cost, but
they have not escaped the
price slashing. Be sure to
look them over.
Odd Pieces of Dec
orated China
On the second floor, just
back of the north stair
landing, you’ll find one of
the most interesting treas
ure tables in the store. It
is loaded down with odd
pieces of beautifully decor
ated China. Almost every
desirable piece is in the lot.
Any piece is worth double
the Dissolution Sale price
of. from 10c to 25c.
Exquisite Laces and Embroideries at Sale Prices
This season’s line of Wash Goods is simply
superb. It would require much more space than is
at our disposal to enumerate the excellent values in
these goods. Beginning at the 5c Lawns, through
the medium grades, and on to the finest Tissues and
Floral Eoliennes — all are ridiculously marked down.
Timely Ribbon Spe
cial
Laces and Embroideries probably reached the zenith of their popularity this season. They have
never been so much in vogue in the past, and they could not be more popular in the future. The
H., J. & Co. stock of Laces and Embroideries fully reflects the importance of laces and embroideries
this season. It was never so large, so elegant or so carefully selected. It embraces all the standard
patterns of laces and many of the newest creations of the season. Of special interest is our specially
large and beautiful line of Round Thread Val. Laces, now more popular than ever. In Embroi
deries, so many beautiful things are offered that it is impossible to attempt enumeration. Swiss and
Nainsook Embroideries are shown in Edgings, Insertings, Beadings, and All-overs; Matched Sets
are here in profusion, while the line contains an elegant assortment of that acme of exquisite embroi
dery production—• the beautiful Baby Irish. The price cuts on these goods are just as deep as in
other departments of the store. The character of this stock is well known to the people of Albany,
and wlym it is remembered that'this stock was bought before the recent 25 per cent, advance and
marked originally at old prices, the reductions will be all the 1 more appealing.
In this connection we might call special attention to our line of Semi-Ready Embroidered Robes,
which have been reduced from $25 to $15.20; from $20 to $14.50; from $12.50 to $8.90.
A $3,000 Stock of Lace Curtains at Cut Prices
You wouldn’t expect to find such a stock of Lace Curtains in. a city of less than 100,000. Think
of having $3,000 worth left after two weeks of the Dissolution Sale. That in itself "tells of the size,
the variety and the elegance of these stocks. If. you are not well supplied, here’s really a big chance!
Every home needs a few more pairs when'they can be bought at thtese slashed prices. Look

Splendid Fruit Will Be Shipped frpm
Albany This Season.
It is stated by those who are in
position to know t*hat there Is going to
be shipped from Albany and near-by
points this season one of tlfe finest
crops of cantaloupes ever produced
in Southwest Georgia.
It. 1ms been a good season for the
luscious Rockfords, which require
weather and conditions of season of
a particular kind. Too much rain, too
much dry weather, too much high
wind, either or all, will ruin a canta
loupe crop quicker than any that
grows in this section. And although
the present crop has been “on the
ragged edge” several times, the es
sential changes in conditions have al
ways dome at the opportune time.
It will be several weeks, yet before
shipments of cantaloupes begin from
this section, but unless very adverse
conditions are experienced in - the
meantime the grade of the fruit to
be sent forth to the markets of the
world will be unusually high.
There is reason to believe that,
there will be ample demand for all
the cantaloupes raised in this part of
the country this season. Planters
have profited by the experience of
former years, and are not planting
more than there is reason to believe
can be profitably marketed. It Is
quality that counts in raising this
popular fruit, rather than quantity,
and there are no finer melons grown
In the country than are shipped eVery
year from Albany.

In Farmington this week, but Mrs.
Gay will probably not return to Albany
until fall.
AIRSHIP COLLAPSED
500'FEET IN AIR.
Aeronaut Lincoln Beachy Had a Nar
row Escape With His Life.'
Cleveland, O., June 3.—While mak
ing a trial flight with his airship here
today, Lincoln Beachy, the young San
Francisco aeronaut, narrowly escaped
death by the collapsing of the frame
work of the car.
The airship was 500 feet in the air
when the accident occurred, and the
daring young navigator was saved
from being dashed to the ground only
by the narrowest margin. He man
aged to guide the airship until it was
but fifty feet above the ground and
although it fell that distance he es
caped uninjured except for a few
bruises. The airship was partly
wrecked.
Everything was running smoothly,
when, without warning, the two bam
boo poles at the center of the car near
the engine snapped in two. This
caused the entire framework to dou
ble up like a jack knife. The rapidly
revolving propeller was hurled into
the forward end of the big balloon,
cutting a big opening in it. The es
caping gas caused the car to sway to
and fro and it was with-difficulty that
Beachey remained in the cage.
The car started to drop slowly, and,
the rudder being useless, it was blown
over the park in the opposite direc
tion from which it was headed. The
!hydrogen gas which filled the balloon
poured down on Beachy, nearly
smothering him. Fortunately the gas
escaped slowly and there was enough
in the balloon to support the car Until
it was within fifty feet of the ground.
The descent had been gradual, but
owing to the swaying of the car and
the fumes of gas, Beachy was in con
stant danger of death.
