To Whom 1t May Concern.

From Monday, June 1, we shall offer in
every department of our store various
lines of goods, at sweeping reduction,
thus giving to the ladies Of Savannah and
vicinity an opportunity for GENUINE
BARGAINS seldom presented. Upon in
spection you will find in many instances
the goods offered are about half what they
are worth, and they are all fresh, desir-
able gOOds-no old stock. In making pub
lie announcement of this great and all
important transaction it Will be necessary
to dwell briefly on certain facts, so that a
true and correct conception of the actual
particulars of this sale may be conveyed
to the public mind. First and foremost
we would impress on our patrons the very
important fact that in a few months we
Will yacate our present store and occupy
the spacious building now in course of
construction on corner BrOughtOn and
Bull streets. When finished it viii be by
far the largest retail store in the State,
and will compare in size and style OF ar
chtecture with any in the entire South.
We are oVer-stOcked, and our New York
buyers advise us to close out our stock of
goods no matter at what price, as the
enormous contracts which they are now
making with manufacturers in the North
and East are much lower than what pres
ent stock was bought. Therefore we are
compelled at once 70 close out the balance
of our stock, in most instances, without
one cent of profit to ourselves, counting
ourselves sufficiently repaid by the OPP
pOrtunity afforded us to close our entire
stock so that we will be able to move into
our new building with an entirely new
line of goods. 1t also enables the hou Sc
CT A. r. AltmaYer & Co. to achieve that
which all heretofore have been poweriess
to accomplish, namely: To offer prime
new stock OF goods which in a large ma
jOrity OF instances fall far short of cover
ing their cost of production, and are
throughout the most thorough and posi-
tive values ever before offered TO the people
of Savannah and vicinity.
We will not name prices as prices give
no definite idea of value, but ask you if
you have anything in our many depart
ments to purchase, or if you are likely to
need anything in the near future it Will
repay you to visit us, even il you are
compelled to make long journey, as we
propose to sell most of our goods without
one cent of profit, state of things which
we think never befOEDe xisted in this city.
A public benefit remains for the house of
A. Z. Altmayer g. Co. to accomplish,
which they submit with all their privi-
leges and advantages to their num-
berless kind and appreciative patrons.

Clothing has been sold this spring by
the "Fdm0US" lower than ever before, for
the reason that times were hard, and we
came to the conclusion, considering the
times, that to make any money on this
seasons stock was out of the question,
and our low prices were the wonder of our
competitors. Now comes the clearing
time. me seasons production must be
S0id, profit or no prQdt. We make 10 "a
point not to carry any goods over. The
goods are ours and paid for. and IL we
choose 10 sell them for One-half their value
10 is nobody's busness--tO sdre m0Reg az

There is great deal said and advertised,
but the German says, "i1IS pd0ier isl

The city Court.

The attention of the City Court was oc-
cupied yesterday with the trial ofcases on
the criminal docket. The first case call
ed was that against a young, brazen-
faced negro woman named Lucy Golden,
who, on May "a, stole a handsomely made
and valuable black dress from the resi-
dence of Mrs. II. q. sullivan. The thief
denied taking the article and refused to
state what she had done with it. The
testimony introduced by the State sub
stantiated the charge OF larceny from the
house, and the accused was, there
fore, found guilty and sentenced
to be imprisoned SIX months, with hard
labor, on the chain-gang. The prisoner is
a muscular-l0Oking woman, and seemed
to be satisfied to undergo the privatiOn of
her liberty in consideration of having sue
ceeded not only IN stealing the dress. but
in having foiled the efforts Of the officers
to discover its whereabouts.
On May % Ezekial Williams stole from
the wharf of the Ocean Steamship Com
pany box OF cucumbers, valued at SO.
He was tried yesterday on warrant
charging him with simple larceny, and,
on being convicted, was sentenced TO be
imprisoned four months, with labor, on
the chaiu-gang.
On May y a negro named Joe Grant
WAS arrested on a warrant charging him
with having stolen four pots OF flowers
valued at 81 from A. Cercopely. He was
tried yesterday for simple larceny, and,
during he proceedings, showed contempt
for the court and its officers by
cursing the latter. The prisoner
was found guilty of simple lar
ceny and sentenced to be imprisoned ten
months with hard labor on the chain
gang.
A negro named Major Brannon plead
guilty of having on May 26 assaulted and
beaten a young woman named Lizzie
May, whereupon he was sentenced to pay
a fine OF $40 or TO be imprisoned so days.
Among the most daring OF the negro
thieves who were tried in the City Court
yesterday was a negro woman named
Hannah Peters, who on May 20 entered
the drug store of Robert II. Tatem and
took one toilet bottle valued at 81 and
one brass stand valued at 70 cents. She
was cOnv, cted on the charge of simple
larceny and sentenced to be imprisoned
six months with labor on the chain-gang
Among other cases disposed of was one
against q negro named Isaac Mack, who
plead guilty 70 the charge Of carrying
concealed weapons, and was sentenced to
pay fine Of $50 or to be imprisoned two
months.

The withdrawal of all special internal
revenue tax stamps from the revenue
Office in this city by Collector Crenshaw
is causing considerable Inconvenience.
The tobacco and liquor men say that It
was great accommodation to them TO be
able to obtain the stamps at home. The
new order went into effect Yesterday. and
hereafter all applications for stamps will
have to be made to the Collectors office ut
Atlanta.
. Bay street tobacco man gave IL as his
opinion that the order was issued at the
request of the deputy collectors. The
tax stamps were issued in books con-
tanning 100 each. When one hundred
We're ordered the deputy mad 80 accom-
pany the order with the price OF the
stamps, say 800. This amount was
practically dead capital as he laid out of
it until the stamps were an sold. The
reason assigned By the Collector is that
the new arrangement supplies the bust
ness of the Collectors office.

THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

The Movement to Place an inscription
on the Greene Monument Revived.
The Georgia Historical Society last
night revived the movement inaugurated
several years ago to place an appropriate
inscription on the monument erected TO
The memory Of Gen. Nathaniel Greene in
johnson square. 1t is a curious COM
mentary on the silence of this inscrip-
tionless monument that from the day Of
its completion to the present there has
been a doubt in the minds Ofthe most in
teiligent people Of the community as to
its monumental intent, the prevailing be-
lief beng that II Is a monument to Gen.
Greene and Count Pulaski, and this in
spite OF the record within the corner stone
aud in spite Of the subsequent action

OF Messrs. j. j. WarinE, Wan. Baker and
VIM. Harden, with DR.. Waring chair

the Historical Society TO act IN coniunc-
ton with committee from the CITY
Council IN the matter Of securing an an
prOpriate inscription to the monument.
A conference Of the two committees was
q
society recommending a plan, but for
some reason the movement fell through
without accomplishing it's pur ose.
About the tine Of the Sesqui-Centeunial
celebration i'm 1883 il was revived and
committee was appointed by the City
Council, under the then administration,
and conference was had with the His
torical Society, but nothing further was
accomplished. The matter has thus run
nm ...N Ia. A.
century without an inscription 10 mark
its intent, and the Historical Society has
again taken hold OF the matter. The com
mittee appointed In 1879 was last night
asked 10 confer with the CITY Council
with view 70 securing. II possible. its
cooperation In placing some Inscription.
