The fuueral of Mr. Dan. Andrews,
who died in this city Saturday, while
oue of the saddest, was one of the.
most interesting ever witnessed in
this city. It had been decided that
his old school companions should act
as pall bearers, but the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers requested
that that privilege be granted them
and a largo number of the order arriv
ed from Waycross and joiued the lo
cal members hero in conducting the
ceremony.
After tho services at the house by
Rev. Mr. McDonell were over, the
Brotherhood took charge of the last
rites of their beloved brother, and to
those who had never witnessed the
ceremony before, it showed what a
strong tie bound the members togeth-
Mr. E, S. Paiuc, chief of the
Waycross Division of Locomotive
Engineers, conducted the services, as
sisted by Mr. Frank Cross.
Mr Andrews was just twenty-five
on *his last birthday. The manner in
which he bore his sufferings daring a
long and painful iiiuess was truly be
roic. The remains were laid to rest
under the whispering piues of -Laurel
Hill, hut his memory will linger long
with those who knew him.

proprietor of the Clarendon, formerly
the Whiddon, formally opened the
houso to guests yesterday. A number
of invited guests dined there on the
occasion The dinner embraced all
the substantial and delicacies of the
season, and was served in first-class
style. Everything is neat and clean
about the house, and it promises, un
der the new management, to become
ono of tho popular hotels of Thomas-
ville. The house is delightfully loca
ted, fronting the magnificent grounds
of the Piuey Woods Hotel, and is
within two or three minutes walk of
tho business portion of the town.
Mr. VanDyke will givo his guests
every possible attention, and will
raako his rates reasonable. Success
to tho Clarendon.
Mr. Maud Abrams, who has been
with Messrs. Mcinhardt & Co. for 14
years, and one of their most efficient
and trusted employees, has, with his
family, come to Thomasrillo to live.
They arc comfortably quartered at
tho Gulf. Mr. Abrams locates here
for tho reason that he will be nearer
the center of tho territory which he
travels. There is, it seems, a move
ment on the part of commercial men,
who have regularly assigned territory,
territory. Thomasville is tho geo
graphical center of a conmercial terri
tory, which is being industriously
worked by an army of drummers, and
it would pay their houses to have
hem make headquarters here. Their
traveling expenses would be much
less.

The time is certainly here
ivhen yon are thinking of your
new carpet, and you could select
no better time to purchase it.
We arc turning out more car
pels than any two houses in
town. Why? because we have
the assortment to select from,
and the prices are right.
We advise you to purchase
your carpets now, for as sure as
two and two make four—you
will pay more two months hence.
The McKinley tariff bill has
caused an advance in wool, and
it will be impossible for carpet
dealers to duplicate their stock
at former prices. Naturally it
will cause an increase to the
consumer. Our advice is plain.
We have only the following
inducements to offer—first the
largest stock—second lowest pri
ces—third that carpets and rugs
are cheaper now than they will
probably ever be again.

Fix the fact in your mind
that when we advertise a thing
we mean business. Come and
look at the goods, whether our
dealings will extend beyond that
stage rests with you. We feel
confident, however, if you are
in need of carpets you wiU be
come purchasers. Op one thing
we feel certain—THE (PtiilCE
