SHAW’S SPLENDID STORE
A CLOTHING HOUSE THAT IS METRO
POLITAN IN METHOD.
Something About One of the Prominent
EetebUebmente In Amerlcue-An Im-
menee Stock thet le Uurlrelled-The
Engle Shoe Store.
A stranger InAmericusalways notices,
particularly, the neat stores In the city
and the generally business-like appear
ance they have.
This is especially the case with a cer
tain number ot establishments that deal
in dry goods or jewelry or clothing
And more especially is it the case jrhen
they have had occasion to look into the
splendid establishment, of which John
R. Shaw is proprietor, on Forsyth
street.
That storehouse has a genuinely
metropolitan appearance, even from
without, but when one;enters, he at once
realizes that he is in an establishment,
of which the proprietor is a thorough
business man. Everything about the
arrangements of the stock and the
whole interior of the store suggests a
knowledge of detail that is seldom found
outside the large cities and, taken alto
gether, the establishment is a credit to
A meric us.
Yesterday morning a Timks-IIkcoi.dkk
reporter entered Mr. Shaw's place upon
a business errand, and as the proprietor
was engaged at the time, he whiled
away an hour looking through the .blood, increases tho appetite an

and many otKera. Special attention bas
been given to ladles' shoes, and any kind
of footwear for the fair aex, from a sen
sible, strong street shoe to a dainty ball
room (Upper can be found at the Eagle
shoe store.
The men and boys have not been for-
gotten, however, and every grade of
■boe suitable to them can be obtained
here. All that la asked is an Inspection,
Mr. J. R. Foster Is in charge of the
Eagle shoe store and Is very popular
with all who know blm.
Shaw's establishment Is truly a credit
to Amertcus, and when one remembers
that Mr. Shaw bas been In business at
the same stand for nearly twenty-three
yean, they eannot wonder that he has
boen successful, for nearly everyone
realizes the fact that “a rolling stone
gathers no moss."
The desk in Shaw's office Is presided
over by Mr. H. Clove Davis, who la a
huatling salesman himself, at times, for,
occasionally, he'll throw aside bis pen
and jump >out front and sell igoods
alongside any of the boys.
Mr. Shaw, personally, is known to
everybody in this section, not only as a
sharp, shrewd business man, but as a
gentleman of the first water, who be
lieves that the best goods at good prices
will always pay both dealer and cus
tomer. He has surrounded himself with
a corps of gentlemen In the fullest sense
of the word, and consequently It is
always a pleasure to go to Shaw’s.

Jordan Durham, a Negro Tough, Killed
Near Cordela Yesterday.
Cobdxle, September 12.—[Special.]—
John Kitchen, a white man, killed a
negro by the name of Jordan Durham,
this morning, at the Willingham Sub,
Door and Lumber Company’s mill near
this city.
Durham was a desperate negro who
has given s great deal of trouble to this
section. He has been out of the chain-
gang only a few years. He had served a
term for some misdemeanor, and slnee
his release has been worse than ever. It
Is understood thet he had made frequent
threats against the life of Mr. Kitchen
and was very abusive and aggressive
this morning before he was killed.
He was seen in Cordele this morning,
where he bought some cartridges with
the remark that he would kill some
white man to-day.
Mr. Kitchen shot him In the back of
his bead with a load of buckshot from a
shotgun. Durham was killed instantly.
This whole section of country will be
glad to hear of the death of so danger
ous a desperado. It Is said he bad hardly
enough friends among his own race to
bury him decently.
Upon tho left, as one enters, is the
gents' furnishings department, and such
a stock of that class of goods Is rarely
found, for it is the largest, without ex
ception, in southwest Georgia. Every
thing, from an ordinary bone collar but
ton, to a suit of silk underwear, is kept
la stock at Shaw’s, and a man who could
not be fitted out in underwear at his
place need look no ifurther. Tho stock
is complete In every detail and when
that is said nothing else is necessary;
however, it would bo impossible not to
notice the neckwear. Every known
style and shape, of recent date, is repre
sented In daintiest shades, and freshest
concerts and nearly every week a fresh
invoice is received.
This department is under the charge
of Mr. Sim J. Carter, who takes a great
deal of pride ih making his stock show
up well.
Then comes the clothing department,
in which anybody, “regardless of race,
color, or previous condition of servi
tude," can be fitted out so as not only to
fit him but also to fit his pocket-book,
Counter after counter la piled' high up
with a fresh, fall stock of clothing, and
in the drawers beneath the counters in
numerable suits are hid from view; there
Is no danger of not getting a fit in Shaw's
place because if you can't find one
among the suits on the counter, the
gentlemanly salesman will pull open the
drawers until he finds one that does. It
is a boast In Shaw's, and one that can be
made good, that any one, no matter
whether short, tall or stout or slim, can
befitted perfectly; and such a boast
seems reasonable when one has a $25,000
stock of clothing to back itl
The latest styles In clothing of all
grades, from a sack suit to a dross suit,
can be found at Shaw’s, and, any one
from the ordinary day laborer to the
wealthiest man In the country can bo
easily satisfied here.' This house makes
specialty ot children’s, boys’ aud
youths' clothing, and a large stock of ex
tra knee pants for boys Is carried.
Shaw’s stock of clothing would do
credit to many a metropolitan clothing
house as it is undoubtedly the largest in
this section of the state. At the time
Mr. Shaw closed out his dry goods de
partment a couple of years ago, he threw
its value, about $15,000, into hi* cloth
ing stock and since then he has been
ablq to say, without fear of contradic
tion, that nowhere else In Southwest
Georgia can a stock as largo and com
plete as bis be found.
Mr. Shaw makes It a practice in hie
clothing department, as well as in his
entire business, to buy close, sell quick
and keep a fresh, clean atock on hand.
This has been the secret of his success
In the clothing trade.
The clothing department la presided
over by Mr. J. C. Pope who is well and
favorably known by nearly everybody in
this section.
Next comes the department of which
Mr. Will P. Hornaday is in charge and
which includes hats, canes, umbrellas
and traveling bags. This stock is kept
at the top notch always and in it one can
find the latest stylss In toft or stiff hats,
of every well known manufacture; the II. B. Randolph, Brunswick, Gs.,

Trade is brightening np wonder
fully. The rise in the marketable
price of our home products-the
advent of a new season—the open*
ing np of a new stock, all this com
bined with an untiring energy—
an unremitting desire to pleasi
is making itself felt at the Artesian
comer.
The novelties in ohina glassware,
aud lamps are almost bewildering
this season. The sample rooms of
onr best glass and lamp factories
as well as those of the Importing
China agenoies presented a con
stellation of dazzling effects in the

respective lines have ever shown.
Tou know the old adage “Qoods
well bought are half sold.” When
we buy staples—we look for the
best qualities obtainable—when we
buy specialties, we look not alone
for quality, bat for the effects that
the finest fancies and the latest
fads demand. Jn addition to this
we always look for the lowest price
that factories will give, and the
best of it is, we don't stop looking
nntil we get there on all three
points—quality, style and price.

Ita not muoh gossip to tell you
that when this new stock began to
come in, it did not find onr shelves
empty. Here, there and every*
where you could find a few odd
sets of glasses and an odd lot of
dishes—a stray lamp or two—the
last "trade orphans" left of a once
bright lamp family, and we tell you
franzly, we don't like odd lots, we
wonld just as leave mix a few drops
of the best black ink in a tub of

lots, desirable as they are, with the
new lines we‘are marking np. Its
a question of convenience with us
as much as price—you ought to
