THE BEST-THE CHEAPEST
Why pay two or three prices for an article of furniture when you can
get it from our store at such a great saving.
There is nothing that goes to complete the home and mahe it cozy and
comfortable that we do not carry and our prices are always guaranteed to
be cheaper than anyone else in the business. _
There is still several fine bargains left in th e Skalowski stock that wll
be closed out at les s than 50 cents in the dollar.

Went To See Merry Widow Waltz
Nearly Half a Hundred Times
“The Merry Widow,” so far as the
play Is concerned, is a thing of the
past for the time being in Augusta,
hut it will be a topic of conversation
here, no doubt, for a couple of weeks
or more. Many Augustans want to
the theater twice to see the perform
ance and some even the three times.
All semed to be fascinated with the
play as a whole and it is doubCTul if
there are a dozen people who saw
the show Friday :tnd Saturday nights
who would not like to see it again.
However, Augustans are not in it
in going to see the play as compared
with a citizen of New York city, who,
in discussing the play with an Au
gusta lady, stated that he actually
went to see the performance forly
tw'o times during its stay in New
York.
Of course, such an expression is
usually taken with something to make
it keep, in the vernacular of the day,
salt, and while it is known that the
story was repeatedly told with em
phasis still there remains a little
doubt, about the visits

the audience to whom the story was
told, mildly suggested that the visits
were made to a real merry widow and
not to the play, but this idea was dis
credited in view of the fact that the
gentleman in question had expressly
stated that he went to see the play
itself.
More than a score of Augustans
had seen the “Merry Widow*' before
it came to Augusta, but so far as
could be ascertained but few of them
stayed away on this account, all go

seats.

the rounds of the traps that are in
the river just below (he locks Wed

on one of them. According to the
sergeant it was about 11 feet long
