In consequence of the general stagna-
ton in business the jewelry trade has to
bear its share, and many importers and
manufacturers have been trying TO realize
on the stock to meet their payments, /
have been able to secure several lots Of
Ladies' and Gents Watches and various
assorted lots Of Jewelry at a considerable
reduction from usual prices. Yet, to car
~ this additional stock is not profitable
at all. The only way to make anything
of these purchases. is if l can again I'M

in these goods. l intend to sell them at

and afford my patrons unusual chances

a GrowI About the Rise in the Price

SAVANNAH, May 2s.-Editor Morning
Nelcs: l see in your valuable paper that
the ice companies have raised the price
Of ice to l cent per pound. see also that
somebody wants to start an ice machine.
Some time ago the same thing was tried
in New York-a combination to raise the
price Of ice. " hat did some enterprising
men do? They sent to Norway for ice.
The vessels We're glad to bring it for bal
last. 1t soon broke up the rise in ice.
Why can't the same thing be done here!
We have plenty of Norwegians here all
the year round. Let somebody start it;
it will pay and give us cheap ice too.

Great Failures; Thousands of Dollars
Lost-Panic Stricken ana Help for the
Sufferers.
The readers OF the MORNING News
have no doubt read the accounts of the
great failures of Messrs. Hatch q Foote,
Nelson Robinson & Co., Donnell, Lawson
& Simpson, and a great many others
which created great excitement The eX-
citement was great, but nothing to COM
pare with the excitement and rush at our
establishment for the past few weeks for
our nObby styles of Spring. and Summer
Suits, which we are selling so cheap.
Thousands Of dollars have been lost by not
coming to us to buy Clothing, Hats and
Gents Furnishing Goods. 1t stands to
reason those who continually pay high
prices for goods will some day become
panic-stricken and cry for help. There
is help for the sufferers of heat by coming
to us for their light weight garments,
such as Seersucker Suits, Linen Suits and
Duck Suits; also, Ventilated Hats, etc.

In the pressure incident to supplying the
wants of so many customers, together with
the difficulties naturally arising in starting up
a new business, il is very likely that causes of
complaint may be given, or other wants arise
and not receive that prompt attention which
it will be the policy of this company to pur-
sue. If any such cases exist, they Will confer
a special favor by reporting promptly to the
Office of the company, and not to employees.
Nomatter what may be the nature of the
complaint, it shall receive investigation at
the earliest possible moment We only ask
such indulgence as circumstances now war
rant us in requesting, with the assurance that
in a short time there shall be no delay in Civ
ing prompt attention to all reasonable de-
mands upon our time or services.

INCREASE OF FRUIT EATING.-The
temperance reform movement in
England has increased the demand for
fruits in that country. Fruit, milk and
vegetables are taking the place of beer
in thousands of English families, who
cannot afford free trade country to
eat meat oftener than once a week.
In 1871 this country sent ffty-six
thousand bushels of raw fruits to
England; in 1882 over one million
bushels. The consumption of fruits
has increased in all parts of the world
as we'll as in England. Great discredit
has been thrown on our manufacturers
of canned fruits, owing to the inferior
quality of the fruit and the want OF
care in its preparation. This can be
remedied by packing in glass bottles
instead of tin cans. There seems to be
no limit to the demand for our dried
fruits, and the evaporated peach is
likely to command fairer prices in the
future than it has in the past. On the
whole there never was such bright
prospect spread before the fruit grow
ers of this country. The world vii
consume our fruit if we will prepare j
with care.
Smyrna times., 1884-03-26
Life in Washington.

A great change has come over society
life in Washington, as the bells of Lent
summon the faithful to their devotions.
A correspondent says that the season
has been a gay one. The idle have
grown idler and the fast become faster;
hearts have been lost and money won;
girls have become women, and the
single have become double; magnif-
cent toilets have been displayed and
excellent dinners have been eaten.
The hotels have been unusually full of
persons who hattered themselves that
they have been Gin society,"" because
they have gone to few public recep-
tions. and managed, perhaps, to get
one or two cards of invitation to those
which were ostensibly private.
A humorist, possessing the ability of
Thackeray, would find an abundance
of subjects for his pen in large Wash
ington hotel. Office seekers in the last
gasp of destitution; anxious mothers
with grown-up daughters upon their
hands; bellies whose reign is ended,
and bellies whose reign is begun; for
tune seekers, professional todies and
languishing dudes, who stand high in
their own estimation; gallant officers
who have stood shoulder to shoulder
on many a hard-fought field, foreign
chevaliers, bearing their orders Of
knighthood, and cheualiiers d Industrie
seeking opportunities fer plunder
those who wore the blue, and those
who wore the gray.
In short, large Washington hotel il
a little world within itself, and at cacl
one there is every Winter, material fo
half dozen romances, more or les
scandalous.
