derful Dissolution Sale Reductions
On every article in the enormous Spring and Summer stock of Hofmayer,
Jones & Co. a Dissolution Sale price, greatly reduced, has been marked in plain
figures. Not only on the great offerings that crowd the display tables and cases,
but on practicaly every article of the big stock these green tags will be found.
And wherever there’s a green tag, there’s a saving for somebody. We can’t begin
to enumerate in our advertisements, nor can we display in our store, the thou
sands of matchless values that are fairly clamoring for publicity. The shelves
and counters are crowded with bargains just as attractive as those which you have
seen displayed.
Now, we want everyone to make the most of the great saving opportunity
! afforded by this sale. ICome to the store, take the samples which we will cheer
fully give, and compare the qualities and-the prices with the offerings of other
stores. Satisfy yourself before you buy. We invite you to do this. But—
: your money back. Could you want a fairer proposition?

These Are Wdrth Clamor
ing For—$l Waists 25c
We do not exaggerate one iota-when
we say that our present stock of Millin
ery contains some of the choicest Hats
of that .splendid collection which ex
cited such universal admiration this
spring. Many beautiful Phipps and
Gage Hats, as well as some of the
choicest creations of our own gifted
artists, have remained to go out at Dis-
. solution Sale prices. The sale prices
’I on all Trimmed Hats are just one-half
of the original reasonable prices. For
example:
We’ve an odd lot of pretty Shirt
Waists that we carried over from last
season. All the Waists are trimmed,
some with embroidery, others with
plain tucks. These Waists ^were priced
up to $1.00, and surely there will be a
scramble for them Monday, when they

The 1906 Spring Silks for H., J. & Co. were bought with extreme care. With
’’ the best possible facilities to aid them, the buyers were able to make this stock
1 represent the best and newest ideas of domestic and foreign manufacturers. Much
1 of the success of the stock was due to the fact that a large part of it was imported
• direct from Oriental and European manufacturers. Coming fresh- from foreign
looms to our counters has insured novelty in weaving and correctness in shadings
both very desirable in Silks.
Among the most popular weaves which have become phenomenal values at the
Dissolution Sale prices are the New Queen’s Grey Taffetas, Peau de Crepes, Chif
fon Taffeta, Black and White Pongee, Dolly Varden Silks, Radium Silks White
Jap Silk, and others, A careful investigation of the values at the silk counter would
be well worth your while. '
One,of the big bargains at, the silk counter is a beautiful Black Taffeta, rich,

Notice.
In Lower Georgia—Her Un
rivalled Advantages—She
Should Riach Out for
More Gatherings.
The fact that Albany was selected
as one of two places in-Georgia at
whlph Hon. Clark Howell and Hon.
Hoke Smith should meet in joint de
bate emphasizes a fact which Geor
gians,'and even^ Albanians, are apt to
lose sight of now and then, viz., that
this city is one of the very best con
vention points in the state.
There are two reasons why this is
true.
In the first place, Albany’s railroad
facilities are unexcelled, and the peo
ple from throughout the entire lower
half of the state are enabled to reach
this point in either the morning or
the evening, after but a short ride.
There are nearly forty passenger
trains a day into and out of Albany,
and they make travel in this section
rapid and convenient.
Furthermore, Albany has the larg
est auditorium in this section. It will
accommodate as many persons as any
structure of a similar character in the
state, and causes Albany to be .greatly
favored as a place for conventions,
rallies, political meetings, etc.
When Mr. Smith and Mr. Howell
met in Atlanta last week, the largest
auditorium in that city was requi
sitioned. It is stated that four thou
sand persons managed to crpwd into
the building, many others being un
able to gdin admission.
Albany’s Chautauqua auditorium will
easily accommodate four thousand
persons. Several hundred can he
seated on the stage, and there is a
world of room in the aisles and around
the sides.
It is a fact well known that, al
though there have been some immense
audiences in the auditorium, the ca
pacity of the building has never been
overtaxed, and the “standing room
only” sign was never displayed at the
front entrance.
It is predicted by some that the
Smith-Howell joint debate to be held
sometime in July will cause the audi
torium record to be broken; that some
of those who would gain entrance will
be turned away, hut this is doubted.
There is a whole - lot of room in'the
big building, and there should always
remain the proverbial “room for one
more.”
Nothing advertises a city better or
more widely than conventions, and
Albany .should reach out for all the
gatherings that are offered. There
are plenty of place’s for the smaller
ones, and the-larger ones can be cared
for in the Chautauqua auditorium.

HIS FIRST WRECK

Atlanta, Ga., June 12.—The funeral
of Tom J. Blackburn, the Georgia rail
road engineer who met death in
Wreck .Saturday night, took place to
day and was attended by representa
tives of the Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Engineers and the Odd Fellows.
Blackburn was injured Saturday and
died Sunday. In point of service he
was the oldest man on the road. For
more than twenty-five years he has
been an engineer on the Georgia rail
road and had never been in a wreck
before. His first wreck was his last.

What Surveyor’s Work
Has Revealed.
It is hoped that the meeting of
Dougherty county farmers, an effort
to hold which will be made next Sat
urday, will not fail to attract a rep
resentative attendance. The several
efforts that have been made to organ
ize a local branch of the Southern
Cotton Association have. resulted in
failure because of a .lack of interest,
though Dougherty cQunty farmers
have been in sympathy with and have
seconded the efforts of the associa
tion. The meeting will be held at
noon in the court house.
We are happily rid of thp dust to
day.
For some time past Mr. R. J. Edg-
erly; employed by the city authorities
for special survey and engineering
work, has been Investigating the va
rious irregularities of street lines that
were known to exist, but the exact
extent of which had never been de
termined.
There are a number ot Btreet cor
ners, both in the business and resi
dence sections, that are badly out of
alignment, while as for the lines of
abutting property, there are compara
tively few blocks where these exist
exactly as they should.
Mr. Edgerly has completed his sur-
vey along Madison street, and the map
which he has prepared shows that in
some places that thoroughfare is fully
fifteen feet wider than it should be,
much private property being in the
street. On the other hand, it Is found
that at various points parts of streets
have, been gobbled up, innocently
enough, of course, by property own
ers.
North street is one that is consid
erably out of alignment. Between
Jackson and Jefferson streets, private
property on the north side of North
street projects into the street some
thing like seven feet, while there are
even greater irregularitis near the
north end of Jackson. v ,
It furthermore appears that the
streets in Arcadia are not straight; in
other words, that instead of contin
uing in the exact direction of the
streets of the old part of the city that
run north and south, they bear slight
ly westward after passing Society.
All these irregularities, and many
others which we have not space to
mention, will be presented to the City
Council as soon as the survey of the
engineer is completed, and it will he
no easy matter for the city authorities
to rectify them. Moving a fence is a
comparatively easy matter, but where
an Innocent property owner has erect
ed a house which projects into the
street, the problem assumes decidedly
more troublesome aspects.
