Yoa have beard a great deal about tbe advance on Carpets in consequence of tbe McKinley bill, and the half bas hardly been told ; but my opposition to a protective tariff leads me to do all that I can to lessen tbe burdens it imposes, and I am determined to sell you Carpets AS LOW AS YOU EVER BOUGHT THEM, REGARD LESS OF THE TARIFF. To enable me to do this I sell for CASH, and at MUCH SHORTER PROFITS than I could do on a CREDIT. I will take great pleasure in showing my Carpets to everybody. J. J. Q-RANBERRY, AQ-T. ENTERPRISING ALBANY EXTENDS A ROYAL WELCOME TO THE COMMISSIONERS. ASPHALT PAVEMENTS. THE COUNCIL IS ENTHUSED OVER A PROPOSITION TO PAVE Kor Business, Bress and Work. Lat America. Caleb a Cue from Her Sister City - A Golden Opportunity tbnt BuM Not Re Ignored-A Depot te Let Americas show her true colon, sustaining her reputation aa an active, alert and enterprising town. In Tuesday’s Times-Becobdeb timely attention waa called to the visit of tbe rallrosd commissioners, Messrs. Tram moll, Power*, and Fort, to Albany to in veatlgateanddeolde upon tbe location of a new depot anttable to tbe also and importance of tbe place. Th* Times- Beoobdeb earnestly Invokes tbe action of the people of America* on this vital matter, one that affects tbe iotereete tbe entire city. In summing up tbe sit uation Tub Times Becohdeh of Tues- day observed: “We suggest that a committee com posed of enoh men asMsj. Speer, Dr. Eldrldge, Mr. J. W. Wheatley, Mayor Felder and the board of aldermen, Mr G. W. Glover, Thornton Wheatley, John Windsor, Judge Mohtgomery, Mr. Har- Told and others, take it upon themselves in behalf of Amerlou* to hold an Infor mal meeting and Invite the commission to visit this city to-day.” The board of commissioners will ar rive In Americas to-day at noon, and it is eminently fit and proper that a repre sentative delegation of oar citizen* meet them at the depot and extend to them the freedom of the city. This It a golden opportunity, one whose importanoe'lt Is nnnecessary to further Impress on the minds of the citizens. The commissioners arrived in Albany in porsnance of their announced Inten- tlon of Inspecting the depot facilities at that place, and there Is every reason to believe that their million meant a new depot to Albany. Let Americas do her duty as nobly as Albany did and It will orystalllzo Into a new Central railroad depot Hero Is what the Albany paper says of their visit: . “The Railroad Commissioners of Georgia are in tbe city. They are here In pursuance to their announced Inten tion to meot here to-day to|inspect the passenger depot facilities offered by the railroads centering here “Mayor Gilbert was nottfled of tbe ar rival of the commissioners yesterday afternoon and at 10 o’elock yesterday morning there] was a joint meeting* of the City Connell and a committee from the Board of Trade. “This body decided on a plan of enter tainment of the visitors, and Mayor Gil bert appointed a recoptlon committee, which met the commissioners yesterday afternoon and esoorted them to the Ho tel Welch. In tbe afternoon they were given a drive over the city and shown the different points of Interest end at traction, “At the meeting yesterday morning it was decided to entertain tbe visitors at a spread to-day. Mayor Gilbert appointed a committee to arrange a spread to-day after tbe basin ess connected with the visitors’ trip 1s completed. “Yesterday afternoon .when Commis sioners Powers and Fort arrived they found tbe situation ripe for laveatigtr tlon. Instead of taking carriages at once for their quarters they lingered at the depot to see how the passenger* fare at that point They saw the Columbus Southern arrive and saw the Blakely Extension and 8. F. A W. train* depart They walked around and took tbe bear ings of the situation, counting the tracks surrounding the shed, looking into the waiting rooms, and taking In tbe whole thing generally. This morning tbe visitors will betaken In hand by the city council and by the committee of seven from the board of trade, published above, and * general tour of inspection around the depot and its antroandlng will b* made. The com missioners will see for themselves jnat what the traveling pnblio enjoys, and the railroad officials will be there to see them make this Inspection. Of oourse the Ttsnlt of this Investigation will not be known right away. The commis sioner* will simply look over tbe ground to-dsy, and on returning to Atlanta will will pass their final order. Before lea?, log the city the visitors will be given a spread at the Bialto restaurant. Plates will be laid for fifty persons, and an ep icurean feast, a Southwest Georgia bar becue, an inviting menu with delicacies and rare dishes will be served."

Tbe proposition made by Mr. Harden, of the firm of Marden A Bros., of Osh kosh, WIs, lo pare the court houae square with aaphalt la meeting with warm approval. Mr. Marden appeared In person before the city council, stating lucidly and concisely the objeot of his mission and making the city a definite offer. Tbe complexion of the sentiment of the council was highly favorable to the project and several of the aldermen were outspoken In their endorsement of the system and methods proposed. For $16,000 Mr. Marden contracts to lay a system of pavements, embracing the sidewalks and streets, touching the court house square. The asphalt used Is hard and durable, guaranteed to last for twenty years, and has been adopted by Hew York, Buffalo, Philadelphia and Innumerable other cities of Importance. The proeess of laying it It very simple and In ten minutes aftet the substanoe is spread over a gravel foundation in mastle state, It la of sufficient hardness to sustain the welghtof a man. The consensus of opinion In Amerions Is highly favorable to the proposition, regarding It aa extremely reasonable and also as argent and Imperative. The mayor la in oordlal sympathy w< th the movement, believing It to be both timely and testable. Aaphalt pavement* is what Amerions needs and asphalt pavement* Is whstsbe should have.
