MUST REPLACE PAVING
Grand Exhibition of
Fine
Furs
Superintendent Wilburn Wee Fined
Yeeterdey by.Recorder NottinaHem
end Given 7 Deye to Replece Paving
on Cherry and Fifth Streete.
The most magnificent showing of elegant Furs
ever seen in a Southern market will be made in
our, ready-to-wear department Thursday. They
will represent to a liberal extent the newest shapes
and moat desirable kinds—the products of one of
the most reputable importers of America. The
assortment will be at its best Thursday morning
and ready for those who want to give practical
and useful presents. There's stability to every
Fur piece we sell—a lasting worth and style ele
gance which only the best furriers can turn out.
Suffice it to say that the Furs are good enough
to carry our unequivocal guarantee and that of
the manufacturer as well. The splendid success
of our opening sale of Furs opened the eyes of
some of the very best people in the Fur trade to
our unequalled outlet for large quantities of high
grade-garments, and this exceptional deal com
ing to us at even greater advantage gives you the
chance to secure the Neck Scarf and Muff both
for what you would expect to pay for either.
The exhibit itself will be an interesting sight
and we cordially invite your inspection whether
you contemplate an investment or not.
Sale begins Thursday morning.
Superintendent C. B.. Wilburn of tb«
jtacon division of the Central rail
road was before the recorder yesterday
moraine on the char«e which was
made against him as a result of the
complaint made to council by Aider-
man Jones. When the caee fame up
Alderman Jonee. City Engineer Wilcox

the case. •
Conflicting testimony was submitted
to Recorder Nottingham and the case
progreas for aome time. A
number of excuses were submitted on

replacing of the pavement which had
been torn up.
The clty'a aide of the case was told

upon the railroad superintendent and
gave him seven days In which to com
plete the work of relaying the pave

According to Macon merchant* the
sale of Ohrlatmas gifts this year will
be unusually large, although there will
he no radical departure from the of
ferings of last season.
What has struck me." said a Cher
ry street dealer yesterday afternoon,
is that there seems a general inclina
tion to buy more expensive gowns and
furnishing* than usual. There are
plenty of persons who have plenty to
spend. Imported stuffs have a ready
sale, and the more costly home pro
ducts are selling well. From present
Indications I should say that It will be
vary prosperous Christmas—so it
ought to be merry."
Another well known dealer said:
The sale of Chtlatmns gift* depends
o a larger extent than Is generally
known upon the condition of the
weather. When it Is cold the Christ
mas spirit gets Into everyone, and
everyone immediately spends as much
aa *he or he wants to spare for pres
ents. Then when Its cold cloaks and
overcoats sell well. Somehow people
don't seem to want to take any
chances on the weather turning cold.
"Speaking of the outlook, I should
say that there Is no radical difference
from the outlook at this time last
year, although the general activity la
perhaps more marked. While the
sales will be larger no marked changes
will be noted."
Nearly all the stores in the city that
cater to the Christmas trade have ela
borately decorated their show win
dows, and the principal streets of the
city nre a delight to the eyes. With
out a doubt the Yule tide spirit has
caught the people of the city In more
ways than one. The eager young
sters and the more enthusiastic
grown-ups arfe caught In the air and
are taking no means to hide It. Still
the time comes but once a year and
the spirit la the best of all spirits.
Without the presence of the street
vender the Christmas season would at
least lose a large portion of Its attrac-
thn tlvenesa hut with him and his almost
I useless catchpenny devices the shop
hope to stand llrst at the w!ndup*of*tho oopoctollfr thnt class of them who

Kodoi Dyspepsia Cure is the
only digestant or combination of
digestants that will digest all
classes of food. In addition to
this fact, it contains, in assimila
tive-form, the greatest known
tonic and reconstructive proper
ties. All other digestants and
dyspepsia remedies digest certain
lasses of food only, and
are lacking in reconstructive
properties.
Nature is willing that perfect
digestion should be maintained,
and a grateful stomach sweetly
responds with growing appetite
to the strengthening effect of Ko
doi upon the digestive organs.
Kodoi relieves instantly and cures
permanently Indigestion, Dys
pepsia,Sour Stomach, Weak Stom
ach, Gas on Stomach, Belching,
Puffed Stomach, Catarrh of the
Stomach and all Stomach troubles
that are curable.
Kodoi Dyspepsia Cure is pre
pared at the laboratory of E. C.
OeWitt & Co ; Chicago, and is
sold by leading druggists every

Dear Sirs:
‘‘I have suffered more than twenty years from
Indigestion. About eighteen months ago I had
grown so much worse that I could not digest a crust
of corn bread and could not retain anything
on my stomach. My heart would beat so fast I
could not sleep, at times I would almost draw
double with pain at pit of my stomach. I lost
twenty-five pounds; in fact I made up my mind
that I could not live but a short time, when a
friend of mine recommended Kodoi Dyspepsia
Cure. I consented to try it to please him and I was
better in one day. I now weigh more than I ever
did in my life and am in better health, than for
many years. Kodoi did it, I keep a bottle con
stantly, and write this hoping that humanity will
be benefitted.” Yours very truly,
JAKE C. MOORE.
