There are Some who Can't Wait.
For the benefit of those who may desire
to anticipate the season a little, it might
prove opportune to state that although
Mr.. Mitchell has gone to New York to
personally superintend the getting out OF
the main portion of his Spring Stock Of
Gents. Youths. and Boys fine tailor
made Clothing. he has left behind him
some selections of Spring Ctothtng that
have Just come in, so that the impatient
ones will lind sometime already on his
counters to please them. Some of the
winter goods still remain and will be dis
posed of at ''dlrt cheap" figures to make
room for the heavy lines of Spring Goods
to come, and in this short interval some
of the most notable bargains ever offered
in Savannah may be had. Call and IN
spect the stock whether you want to pur-
chase or not. We can discuss the
s.weather' and the ''trade aspect if no
thing else. No trouble to ind the huge
