GROVER CLEVELAND
GONE TO HIS REWARD
Under the head,‘‘Laid to Rest,”
the Savannah Press pays the fol
lowing tribute to ex-President
Cleveland:
Grover Cleveland has been laid
to rest. The man who was gener
ally praised for his Americanism,
his unaffected simplicity, his hon
esty, was interred Friday in
l’riuceton cemetery, which al
ready contains striking monu
ments marking the graves of emi
nent scholars of the university.
It is known to the students as the
Westminster Abbey of America.
There are the graves of Edward
Park Oust is Lewis, of Paul Til
lane, of Lawrence Hutton. L
t ins quiet spot the statesman who
has filled a large niche in Ameri
can history, the kindly, genial,
unostentatious citizen, was interr
ed Friday afternoon. The mili
tary forts of the country fired na
tional salutes and sounded funer
al guns every hour during the day 1 ,
while the standards and the
swords are draped in honor of the
distinguished dead. Tributes from
every part of the world, from King
Edward of England, from the
President of the United States,
from the governor of Georgia,who
was a member of tlie Cleveland
cabinet in 180 H, have been receiv
ed by the afflicted family.
There is a tiny chapel a couple
of hundred feet, from the entrance
and the Cleveland plot is directly
by j its side and shaded by it du
ring part of the day. It, is on a
side path and its boundaries are
marked by two clumps of shrubs.
There is a thick patch ot ivy
"rowing on the mound that, covers
the body of Ruth, long noted as
the baby of the White House.
There is no living ex-president.
General Grant died of cancer over
twenty years ago ;President Hayes
was never a strog man and suc
cumbed shortly after he left the
White House ; General Garfield
was killed; Chester A. Arthur
died comparatively a young man.
Benjamin Harrison did not live
to be very old; Major McKinley
was assassinated, and now Grover
Cleveland, stalwart, equable and
easy-going lias answered the last
summons. The strain of the pres
idency is very great. As a rule
the men who emerge from that
position gue greatly in the White
House and survive but a few years.
Graver Cleveland has lived eleven
years since the expiration of his
last term. Theodore Roosevelt is
still a young man, about fifty, of
immense vitality', an athlete and
an all round sport-.He has strength
enough to hunt lions in South
Africa and to plan a tour of the
world. The problem, what to do
with our ex-presidents, has never
been ft pressing one. They do not
live long enough to make the
question practical.

To Reduce Stock.
Being somewhat overstocked at
present, it becomes necessary to
place on sale a large amount of
stylish and high-class goods at
and beloiv manufacturers cost in
order to reduce stock. This must
bo done at mice.
For instance, the tint rimmed
lints that tormerly sold from bO
7b cents have been cut down to
P.) cents. Hats that usually sell
from Bb cents la SIOO have been
reduced to 10 cents.
beautiful silk flowers, priced at
2b to 7b cents have been placed on
sale at 19 cents. And still better,
when you buy these hats and
flowers of us ivo do the trimming
absolutely FRKK—such an idea
never before thought of by the
ladies. We have a lot of them,
including foliage for 10 Cents per
bunch. Beautiful ribbons from
10 to 10 cents per yard.
Ready-to-wear Imts, usual price
2bc, bOc, 7b cents and sl.Sound
$ 1 .nO, all going at 10 ami 49 cents.
Beautiful embroidery of lovely
quality and desirable widths, at
10 cents a yard. Ladies's good
black hose, regularly 10 cents,
now three pairs for 2b cents.
We do not expect to min our
business by selling at the low
prices mentioned, for we may be
able to make a small profit even
at these reduced prices. These
goods were bought while the large
wholesale houses were closing out,
and to sell them at once is tlm
chief object in view.
