I BEST GRADES | OF COMMERCIAL jj STATIONERY, a § YOU XXIII. 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.

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. MRS. 0. W. FOX. NO. 7 .
