The Development ofits Enormous Trade
What Energy and Ability Have Ac-
cOmpIfshed.


What Energy and Ability Have Ac-
cOmpIished.
One of the largest and most thoroughly es-
tablished and enterprising business concerns
in Savannah is the Southern Music House of
Ludden & Bates. This house has. through
the energy and enterprise of its managers,
developed into a mammoth music emporium,
with trade second to none in the
United States. In 1870 the firm
established the nucleus of their present mag
nifcent business with a capital of $4,000.
Starting with full confidence in their own
ability and a true conception of the latent
vantage of every legitimate business factor
and principle that would advance their pur-
pose, and to-day they employ bona fide cap
ital of their own earnings OF $4,000, and
represent the most prominent and meritori-
Gus musical house in this country or Europe,
has branch establishments IN Macon, Angus
ia. Columbus and Rome, Ca; Goldsboro and
Charlotte, y. CT Greenville, S. c.; Jackson
vile, Fla; Meridian, Miss; Knoxville, Tenn.
and New York city the headquarters for their
Importation. Mr.. j. A. Bates, the managing
partner, has been educated in the business
and has a valuable experience.
The comprehensive advertisement in the
present issue of the NEWS Will convey more
information than can be gwen in limited
local notice. and its careful perusal Is recon-
mended to all who contem plate the purchase
Of musical instruments or supplies. The I'M
limited capital and facilities of the house en-
able its patrons to enjoy the advantages OF the
lowest possible prices to be obtained IN the
market. The establishment has superior ad-
yantages in this direction. The senior mem
Der of the firm is located in New York, with
the opportunity for purchase from the music
dealers Of the world
In all classes OF goods the firm guarantee
satisfaction, and this, in a great measure, Is
the secret that underlies their apparently
phenomenal success. Some of the most COM
petent men in the music trade, with extended
experience In Northern and Western houses,
are in their employ, and in this way, what
ever may be the demand upon their trade, no
delay is experienced in the filling Of orders
and the shiDment of goods.

N. Ferst & Co. are the proprietors Of one OF
the largest wholesale grocery, liquor and
tobacco houses in the city. They buy ex-
tensively from the most noted firms, and deal
largely in the finest brands of whisky and
brandy. They have the best of facilities
for obtaining pure liquor, and have
the entire confidence of the public. Their
grocery and tobacco trade extends through
out the entire South. In another
column will be found their attractive ad-
vertisement. Their increased business has
necessitated the renting of large warehouses
in which to store their heavy stocks. Their
store and sample rooms are at the corner Of
Bay and Whitaker streets. where can always
be found one of the best assorted sample
stocks in the state, and from their superior
facilities for buying, they are prepared to
compete with Northern markets IN both the
price and quality Of goods. Merchants OF
Georgia, Florida and Alabama, wishing TO
replenish their stocks, will find it to their in
terest to give them q call. They have never
failed to give satisfaction, hence it is not
strange that their business has gone on in
creasing from year to year. until II IS now, as

To Tackle the Dixies at the Park This
Afternoon.

The Georgetowns, the champions of the
Kentucky diamond, arrived last night from
Columbus, where they played the Stars on
Saturday, and viii play the Dixies to-day.
The nine is as follows: Gribins e.f., Lyons

H.. Lescher r.f., Coleman IT,, GLENN p.
They are a solid lot of men and every
one of them is ball player.
They will remain here to-day and tO-mOr-
row. and may possibly be induced to play
again on Wednesday. The Dixies will put
their strongest nine Of the season in the field,
and are backed to play the best game they
have vet entered. Considerable in
terest is felt in its result in
base ball circles, and it will probably be
witnessed by a large crowd. The Columbus
game on Saturday resulted in their defeat by
the stars by a score of 4 to 2. AT Augusta the
Atlanta Brown game was called at the end

Proprietor.
Mr.. John Bresnan, the proprietor Of the
Marshall House, still maintains his reputa-
ton for keeping the most popular hotel in
Savannah. The Marshall has been the favor
lite Of the travelling public for several years
past, and the large additions made to the list
OF its patrons each season is convincing proof
that that popular resort is fast gaining head
way and always making new friends. That
is beyond doubt the best advertisement that q
hotel could have. The public indOrse 1t by
their patronage, which of itself speaks vol
umes OF praise for the excellent management
OF ..The Marshall" Mr.. Bresnan. the pro-
prietor, is here, there, and all about, from the
CELLAR to the top floor, with an eye
ever watchful for the interest and well
fare of his guests. First-class table,
clean, comfortable rooms and prompt at
tention are the three most important points
upon which the Marshall House bases its claim
to liberal share of the public patronage, and
the long list of arrivals which grace the pages
of its register each day proves that the pro-
prietOr keeps his word in making such prom
ises to his patrons. The Marshall is located
on one of our principal business streets, and
convenient to every public building in our
city, and at the same time accessible by street
cars to almost any portion of the city. Mr..
John Bresnan has the entire management Of

city authorities to sell a part OF the police

the project for the time being.
Various other sites were suggested, but upon

were suitable.
