Dress Goods Sale at 39c
Stylish All-Wool Fabrics of Much Better Value.
I liis is an assortment of Dress Goods, plain and fancy, that we have selected from dif
ferent lines for a special sale, and reduced to 39c yard. The styles are new and in the va
riety will be found suitable fabrics for about every popular use.
Practically all our regular 59c Dress Goods are included, while among them are many
even finer than this. ,
Plaids are prominent—particularly shadow plaids—in gray-and-red mixures, gray-and-
brown, grny-and-white, rcd-and-green. Scotch mixtures are shown in small checks and large
overlaid plaids—blue, red Bnd green combinations.
There are also 25 pieces of stylish Albatross—the favorite shadings. Perhaps the last
of this kind that we shall be able to get to sell at 39c, because of the advance in prices.
Dress Goods---Suit and Skirt Lengths.
We’ve a great many lengths of Dress Goods, in the best styles, v that contain only
enough for one suit or skirt. If you can find what you want among anv of these, you
will save a good sum in the price.
There are plain and fancy weaves in black and colors; all from this season and what
might be expected, among the most popular and best selling styles.
More Crepe de Chines at 50c
Useful for dainty waists and dresses for evening and social wear; of course. But many
are buying Crepe de Chines at this time especially to make up into beautiful evening scarfs
and ties. These at 50c a yard arc exactly suited to the purpose.
Pure silk, the right weight, beautifully finished Weave, strong and full of wear; 24 inches
wide, in white, black and about every good color. Not the usual 50c kinds—better. We sell
them regularly at 59e and 75c.
Stylish Silks in Waist Patterns.
•lust enough in each case for a waist—31-2 to 5 yards. Something suggestive of a gift
in-Bilks like these.
* Beautiful in weave, color and pattern. Plain Silks, but mostly fancies—plaids, stripes
anti checks—stylish two-tone Taffetas and Louisines—also a variety of handsome patterns
iu black, Arraures, Surah and India Chinas. All arc priced below value—considerably un
der what they sold for when we had full pieces.
Holiday Novelties
in Leather and Velour.
As a handsome gift—something really useful and ele
gant—scarcely anything near the price will surpass these
beautiful art pieces of leather and velour. There arc Mats
and Centerpieces, round and oval, for use in halls, libraries
and offices, long Scarfs for pianos and also tops for sofa pil
lows. • ,, , , ...
The work is done in leather on soft, rich velour—the
designs appliqued on fields of olive green and red. The
beauty’s in the novelty, and the peculiarly striking, antique
effect. Something finer and different from what is usually
seen.
These are fit associates for the most expensive furni-
ture. They are refined and very attractive, at the same
time protecting whatever they adorn. Not expensive, either
—nothing like as much as you would at first expect.
Small Mats at $1.25
Center Pieces at $4.50
Larger Sizes $5 to $7
Sofa Pillow Tops $5.00
Outing Flannels
for Special Sale
at 5c a Yard.
Here's a whole center
counter full of these soft,
fleecy fabrics, in checks
and plaids of popular de
sign and color. 8 l-2c qual
ity, at 5e yard.

Special to Tbs Georgian.
Macon, Oa„ Dec. 11.—The grand Jury
to Investigate the mob that stormsri
the Bibb county jail early in October
and the alleged lawlessneea In connec.
tlon with th* street car strike, reported
to Judge Felton yesterday that they
had failed to locate the guilty parties In
both Instances.
In reference to the breaking open of
the Jail, tha statement was made that
all the responsibility that could be
placed was upon the shoulders of a few
drunken and youthful offenders.
In refsrsnes to ths street oar strike,
the body declared that organised labor
had been as badly disgraced as the
community In the lawlessness which
waa committed.
Judge Felton thanked the members of
the Jury for their work and asserted
that the mobs In both Instances had
not acted In accord with the general
sentiment of the community.

‘The administration ticket Is composed of

t'ouhl My that the New York legislature
. ppolnted n committee known as the ’Arm
strong Committee.’ Who also Investigated
these men. probably with more authority
than vested in tho Individual indlcybolder.
:ind they found among other things that
these men of ‘high stnudlng' had l»een
ipilctly engaged In looting the company for
years. They had a very fuactuating way
of padding bills In the stationery depart
ment, of creating ’yellow dog fanda' In tho

making contributions to •■nusiMilgu funds,

“HANG TOOETHEH,”
‘‘They operate on tha glorious principle
of bnug together and help yourself. How
ever, this is a mutual company, and the
policyholders are financially Interested, and
are entitled to correct statements and not
the misleading ones that have been sent
broadcast at their expenae In the fords of
a circular Issued over the signature of
President Penlmdy. In which he tabes
credit for saving 13,712,693.43 In the first
eight months of 1906.

man can save an equal amount oy not
going to the races nod hot Imttlng oa the
horses. If huslheaa Is not written, commis
sions to Bgeuta, medics! examination fees,
etc., are not paid. Another 'saving* Is the
sum of tl44,000, eight months salary of the
two McCurdya iwho are sojourning In
Paris!, and Vice Presidents Grannie and
Glllcttte. who were Indicted by the New
York grand Jury. Another ‘saving* Is the
sum of $377,973.06 of the supply and legal
departments through which the system of
padding bills and the legislative depart
ment was financed. Mr. Peabody can cer
tainly claim no crrilt for this saving. Oa
the whole, It Is a known fact that the Mu
tual Life Is lifting operated at a cost ex
ceeding the year UN and that fact will l>«
proven to every policyholder when the next
annual statement is made.
“Third, these gentlemen say that the
election of any other ticket would mean
an entire reorganisation and occasion a
temporary setback for the company. Not
only the policyholders and the entire busi
ness world, bat even the good name of
America Is nt stake on this very nnestlou
of reorganising these insurance companies.
Anyone nt nil fnmtllar with life Insurance
win know that if the policyholders will nso
their right to Imllot and oust the present
discredited management, who have done so
mui*h to disgrace the very tu|iue of life
insurance, that It will be tha only oal-
vatlon of this company. These gentlemen
recommend that Cot W. L. Peel, a fellow-
Georgian, be voted for. Mr. Peel or say
other minority would find themselves lu ex
actly the position that Htuyvesant Fish
found himself when he attempted to se
cure a renl Investigation and not a white

company. Few policyholders should be In-
flueuced by men who they know has not
hail the opportunity to Investigate the In
ner workings of this company and It Is as
sumption pure nnd simple on their part
advise policyholders In this election. The
ry principle of mutuality of Ufa Insurance
Is nt stake nnd the policyholders mast vote
to overthrow It when they vote the adminis
