At hut the momentous question has
been eettled.
Americus’ magnificent new hotel hat
been named, and benoeforth, from the
frozen lakei of the north to the orange
grovee of Florida; from the Atlantloto
the Pacific, that name will bo known of
all men.
“Hotel Alhambra.” What other name
le prettier or more appropriate?
Ever since It became known several
days, since' that the dlreotor* of the
Americus Manufacturing and Improve
ment company, to wbioh the hotel be
longs, were about to decide upon a name
for It, there bee been not a little (pecu
lation as to what their deoltion
wold be.
Yesterday was the time appointed for
the name to be seleoted, and at 5 o’clock
the directors met in the preetdent’e of
fice at the Bank of Southwestern Geor
gia for this express purpose.
President Speer itated the object of
the meeting, and rightly presuming that
everyone present was ready to express
his choice, requested that each dlreotor
would announce the name that be pre
ferred.
On the firat call quite a variety of
names were presented, among which
were that of “Huokalee,” “Magnolia,'
“Americus,” Semlramla,” and quite
number of others. To Col. E. A. haw-
kins belongs the honor of luvlog pre
sented the name accepted, “The Alham
bra,” and on the second call this selec
tion was made unanimous.
“The Alhambra" for such It now Is,
will be, when completed, one of the
finest hotels and one of the most com
plete In all its appointments, In the
state, if not in the South. When ready
for occupancy it will havo cost nearly if
not quite (13.1,000, and is a model of
beauty and elegance throughout.
It will rank fourth among tho fine
hostelrles of the state, being surpassed
only by the DeSoto, the Bon Air and the
Kimball. It is four and fire stories in
height and contains nearly 150 elegant
rooms, both single and en suite. Work
upon it began in September, 18B0, and It
will be completed by or before Sept, let
next
The namo given the splendid new
hotel is in every respeot suitable. As is
well known, Alhambra was the,name
given to the fortress which forms a sort
of abropolls or citadel to the city of
Granada, and in whloh stood the palace
of the ancient Moorish kings. The name
is a corruption of the Arablo “Kal-at al
hamra,” tbs red castle.
The splendid new building now near-
lug completion le in itself a “rod
cattle," which faet renders the name
given it en appropriate one. With its
lofty towers, spires.and turrets it will
present an Imposingappearance, and all
Americus will be proud Indeed of
“Hotel Alhambra." The name is a good
one, and everybody will bo pleased with
the selection.

It does not matter how you spell
it—it sounds tbe same whether
you say Cash or Kosh, and in
these times it works wonders. We
know whereof we speak, for lo, in
these last few days oar buyer has
returned from the northern mar
kets and we know what wonders
Kssh has worked there, and you
shall know what wonders Hash
shall work here. This will* apply
to small every day trifles as well
as to large specialties.
Do you use matches? Don’t
you pay 6 cents for two boxes
containing two hundred oach?
Well, Butler & Berry sell the same
matches at 1 cent a box. Think
of matches ut 1 cent a box!
Maybe you don’t use clothes
pins, bnt maybo when yon remem
ber that other stores charge ten
cents a dozen for them, and yon
find ont here that Batler & Berry
sell clothespins for 1 cent a dozen,
you will realize that the aforesaid
Batler & Berry are “Cheap Folks”
all the time in every particular.
Now we have been qnietly pre
paring for you and the Berry sea-
■son-we can show you another
wonder that Kash has worked.
Think of beautiful berry dishes—as
dear as crystal—an bright as dia
mond—not cut glass of oonrse—
but for three cents each—yon havo
priced the same for 50c. a set-
three cents each at Batler &
Berry’s.
There’s a now wrinkle in our
stook in the shape of a pretty
plain white ironstone china wash-
stand set—10 pieces for $2.70.
There are abont2dozen sets left
—and if you wont one, why you
are welcome to the choice. There
isn’t any money in the deal for ns
—bnt then yon know its a dandy
advertisement. $2.70 for an iron
stone china 10 piece wash-stand
set—of coarse that means at Batler
& Berry’s
When you come down town
again, look in at the additional
counter room we have made—
Glassware, Ornaments of all kinds
—and Lamps—why there’s stacks
of Lamps. Speaking of Lamps—
did yon ever price a Student’s
Lamp at any other store?—asked
you $6.00 -for ono, didn’t they?
We havo been getting $4.50 at the
Artesian Corner for them our
selves. Wo have them now—wo
have lots of them—the fact was—
wo had to buy lots of them—but
this lot is to sell for $3.90—think
of it—a genuine Student's Lamp,
$3.90.
