VOLUME X. GAINESVILLE, GA„ TUESDAY, AUGUST a. 1898 NUMBER 14 M U SIC Resounds in Many Hap py Hoies this Day. The Result of the Great Clos ing Out Sale of Pianos and Organs In Hudson House BM. Beautiful Pianos and Organs Sold at Less than Factory Cost. And That, Too, Upon Very Easy Monthly Payments. Shrewd Buyers Taking Advantage of the Great Bargains. Only Four Days of the Sale Remain.—Come in at Once. Only four days remain of the great closing- out sale of the stock of pianos and organs in the Hudson Hofise Block, and if you ever expect to purchase a piano, you should come in at once and make a selection. Many of the shrewdest buyers in Gainesville and Hall county have yis- ited the store and made selections, and the best musicians have tried the in struments and pronounced them all right. This combination of verdicts verify the statements that have been made in the public prints, and there can be no doubt as to this sale present ing the greatest bargains ever offered in the history of this section, and no such opportunity will ever be presented again. P 1 ** eifemnsteaaes ate fetich that these pianos and orgahfe iiillst he sold. There is absolutely no choice in the matter. The factory agent has been instructed imperatively to not ship away from Gainesville a single instru ment, as not one cent more of expense can be added to them, and the factory agent will carry out these instructions to the letter, no matter what the result. These pianos and organs are made by the wealthiest concern in the country, and fully guaranteed in every particu lar. No better instruments are made, and it requires but a few minutes time, and does not cost a cent to verify this. Come in at once. Dont put it off another day. Procrastination is the thief of time, and a lost opportunity can never be regained. The rich men have made their money by taking ad jutage of bargains, and the poor man is without money because he never takes advantage of making or saving, always waiting until he gets the money to do so and so, and of course the time ftevei' comes. Nothing risked, nothing gained. These pianos and organs are being s old at less than factory cost and on Then there are magnificent NEW up right pianos that have been selling tor $425, which can be bought at this sale for $298. Pay $2o cash and then $10 per month. Think of those exquisite works of art that have been selling right along for $500 which can be bought at this great sale for $347. It only takes $25 cash and $10 per month to pay for them. Why buy a worn-out, second-hand instrument when you can buy a NEW one for less money—one that is fully guaranteed by the richest manufactures in the world? These instruments speak for themsel. es, and are marked in plain figures. ADy bank in the United States, or 1 Dunn’s or Bradstreet's mercantile agen cies will verify the statement that a j guarantee given by this concern is as good as a United States bond, and what more can be asked? If there is any thing, just mention it, and it will be furnished. As to organs. Well, there are some fourteen of them left. There were a number sold yesterday, showing they are offered at great bargains. Come in, select one, and the price and terms will be made right. You will be astonished at the prices. It costs nothing to look. Come in at once. You maybe too late, then think how bad you will feel when you see what a beautiful' instru ment your shrewd neighbor has secured at such a bargain. Sale positively closes next Saturday night. Revising Jury Box. The semi-annual revision of the jury box is being done at the court house today. The revisers are Messrs. John A. Smith, J. II. Daniel, J. W. Hubbard, Jesse L. Thompson, B. J. Hulsey, Sandy B. Carter, and A. R. Smith. The work is progressing and will be com pleted soon. Card From Col. Perry. Editor Cracker: I notice an account in your paper of the Bush trial and I make one or two corrections. I did not withdraw any remarks about the wit ness Parker except the allusion to his looking like a Spaniard. He spoke of this so appealingly as if much hurt that out of a pure impulse of kindness I rose and withdrew the remarks. Had he feihown any resentment in language or maimer 1 would not have withdrawn it, as I had done nothing wrong in the matter and 1 expressly stated at the time that I would not withdraw my general criticism upon what I consid ered the vindictiveness and inhumanity of his course which had drawn forth the comparison. The mere allusion to his appearance was a very mild part of the comment. The Judge did not rule that counsel might say what he pleased about a witness but he did rule that in no respect had I in any remarks made departed from strict professional pro priety. As to the reported action of the jury extending a welcome to any other Spaniards like the witness, if there were any, to come to Gainesville; this is a matter of taste and I have nothing to say. I regref to ever have to make a re mark unpleasant to any one but I must do my whole duty to my client and in this matter I said no more than the facts demanded. Very Respectfully, II. H. Perky. Today is the first Tuesday in August, DARING BURGLARS. Enter Chief Bud Smith’s House.— Get $49 And Other Things. Yesterday afternoon some burglar entered the house of Chief of Police W. E. Smith and stole about $49 in cash, and tore up the furniture and what ever else was in sight. The house was entered about 6 o’clock but no clue to the burglar was obtained. Mr. Smith believes it must have been some one familiar with the house. Mr. and Mrs. James Marlow reside with Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and $33 of the stolen money belongs to them. The burglary was one of the most daring ever committed in the city. The house was entered in broad day light, and the money and other things stolen were carried off before sundown. Chief Smith has had his house entered twice before by burglars, and he seems to be unlucky in this respect. As yet no arrests have been made, and no clue has been obtained. However, the matter will be closely watched and some interesting developments may take place. Col. Hamilton Yancey, a prominent insurance man of Rome, is in the city today. A “Veranda Party” will be given at the lovely home of Mr. anl Mrs. J. R. Boone on Green street tonight, to which a number of young people have been invited. Fully Guaranteed. Each piano and organ in the Hudson House Block is fully guaranteed by the wealthiest piano and organ man ufacturers in the United States, and any bank in this country will confirm the statement that such a guarantee is as good as any that can be given. Do not be lead to belieye that any other guarantee clothed in ambiguous lan guage is any better, for if such as the Steinway, Knabe and Chickering do not give any different than is given on the pianos in the Hudson House Block there is something not exactly right about it. Some say they will guarantee a piano “during its life.” Well, what is its life. Can anyone tell how long anything will live? It may live two years, and it may not. Then who can tell when a piano is dead. The fair and square way of making a guarantee is to say just how many years you will guarantee it, as anything else is guar anteed. It is proof positive that a guarantee “during its life” is not the best way to put it in the fact that the leading manufacturers of the world will not give such a guarantee, and neyer have. Mrs. J. B. Hutchinson left Sunday afternoon to visit Mrs. J. R. Hutchin son of Elberton. Mr. Gus Bell has returned from Cleveland, where he went to recuper ate and is again attending to his du ties at the post-office. Mr. and Mrs. D. D.

There have been no new develop ments in the Bush case today. Bush was placed in jail by Sheriff Mundy yesterday afternoon and will’be kept there until further order of the court. Nearly all of Bush's lawyers are ont of the city, and it is not known what ac tion they contemplate taking. Impure blood is an enemy to health, and way lead to serious disease.
