These men. by their continual hammering, have driven the scanty meal, the hard bed and the tin washtub from Georgia hotels. “The drummer, as he is sometimes called, has made the public hostelries of this State institutions which can not be equaled in the United States.” Colonel Graves naki a touching trib ute to H. I. Kimball, builder of the Kimball House, and pioneer hotel jjpan of Georgia. Kimball the Leader. “To H. I.

The Flowers of France in These Perfumes for Milady’s Christmas There are some things we accept as authoritative and final. Among them muRt be listed the perfumes that bear such names as Coty, Rigand, Miro-Dena, Houbi- gant, Roger & Gallet—and perhaps a hal f dozen or so more. They have excelled—they have succeeded in giving to the world as no others have, the true odors of French flowers. They are here for milady’s Christmas in bottles and boxes that only the artistic French would ever conceive. . A daintier, a more pleasure-giving gift would be hard to imagine, for the woman who does not “love” the fine delicacy and the purity and fragrance oi such superior perfumes is a very unusual woman.

The prettiest gift boxes are those hand-painted by the Japanese, beautiful ly done, artistic, worthy of the quality of stationery the boxes contain.

There is perhaps no product made that wears as well as leather, considering the service required. For that reason we are particular to carry leather goods of standard makes. The temptation to buy leather lines for show is great. They look very much like the best, cost less and sell easily at Christmas time. The trick is cutting the leather thin and making two pieces where one ex isted before. Of course the finished product is inferior. You have confi dence in our stores. We propose to strengthen that confidence by offering you in season and out dependable merchandise. Herewith are a few numbers out of a hundred and fifty in our stock—all useful and serviceable—as low as 25c and on upward to $30.00.
