We open to-day our GRAND CUT-PRICE Sale, applying not only to CLOTHING, HATS and SHOES, but every department shall share the same fate. From present indications the price of cotton will be low and the people will spend their money sparingly. Our stock is too heavy to take chances on. We can’t afford to wait for big profits, but propose to begin NOW to unload, that every man, woman and child in North Georgia may learn where a dollar will buy the most goods. Our two large stores, con taining almost an acre of floor space, are WELL FILLED from bottom to top, and must be unloaded at whatever prion they will bring. President E. E. Dixon of the Asso ciation of County Commissioners of Roads and Revenues of Georgia, has ap pointed delegates to the road parlia ment that meets m Omaha on the 9th of this month. Mr. Dixon made the appointments at the request of the road department of the United States government, which lias recognized the organization of commissioners iu this state. There is a large number of delegates appointed by the president, and it is expected that a number of them will attend the 'parliament, which haS as a purpose the building of good roads through all parts of the country. Im portant questions relating to the con struction of roads and the best meth ods to be used in different parts of tne country will be discu^Sed*. 1 It is believed that the meeting of the delegates from every state in the union will be the beginning of a great work that will largely carry out the purpose of the county commissionees in this and other states. The county com missioners of of Georgia, at their last annual convention, had the question’of good roads before them and this sub ject formed one of the principal topics of discussion. President Dixon and Mr. F. T. Davie will represent the Hall county board of com missioners. An Insurance War. There is an insurance war on in Gainesville. It has been quite inter esting for some days and nas reached such a heat that the South Eastern Tariff Association has declared all rates off, and the bars have been pulled down. The local agents of the companies are in for a fight to the fin ish, and insurance has. herhaps, never been written at such a low rate in Gainesville before. The outcome of the fight will be a waited with much interest. It has reached the point where a person can have .property in sured at any rate desired. All that is necessary is to consult the agents and each will cut under the other. A num ber of policy holders whose premiums had been paid up. have had their rate re-adjusted, the agents refunding the amount of the premium pn the old rate. A number of special agents have been in the city this week taking a hand in the fight. __ Great Slaughter Sale. The great slaughter sale recently in augurated by the J. G.
