Facts

Worth considering and worthy of exami-
nation by all who have any regards to
saving money. People will buy where
they can get the best goods for the least
money. 1t is human nature to do So
Sharp buyers are always on the alert,
and once captured the masses soon
follow. The immense throng which con-
tinually crowded our store the past week
was evidence of this fact. The unusual
opportunity for saving almost one-half
of the purchasers money, which the hou Sc
of A. R. Altmayer & Co. are now Offering,
is apparent to every thinking mind. The
reason why we can save you 80 much
money is that in a few months we viii
remove to the building now in course of
erection on corner Broughton and Bull
streets. 1t will be to our advantage to
move as little of our stock as possible.
Having this in view, and knowing the
only way to reduce the enormous stock
which our house carries will be to make
prices so low that you will buy at once.
even if you have no immediate use for the
goods. This is food for thought. Do you
intend purchasing anything in the milh-
merry line? If so, buy now. No finer
selected, no richer or more elegant sly les,
combined with the most artistic work
manship, ever shown in the South. Prices
wO uld not convey to you how cheap goods
are really sold. Goods have no value with
US, the only question we consider is how
fast we can reduce our stock. White and
Black Plumes at less than one-fOurth
value. They are such as we used to sell
at three times the prices we are Offering
them now, We are certainly going To
sell them for One-third less than our
former price. Why such a fall? This is
what is called a flower season, and plumes
are at discount. We purchased these
plumes from an importer at n sacrifice,
intending to put them aside until next
season, when they Will be in style again.
Now we are going to move, and we are
going to move the plumes if low prices
will do so. All sorts Of lace caps, two or
three hundred styles, for half value-all
new and perfect. We still have Kid
Gloves something unusual at this season
of the year J, all shades and STYLES, at less
price than we could import them. Do
nOC fail to visit our store this week. We
shall sell at low prices, and low prices
with us mean something. Every thing in
our entire establishment mt less than cost
of production. We count ourselves suffi-
GENTLY repaid for our trouble and the
use of our capital by the opportunity
afforded us by closing out our stock and
thereby be able to furnish our new place
with an entirely new line.
Ten minutes spent in our store viii be
better argument in our favor than any we
could write. Store closes Mt $3.50. Ladies
will consult their own interest by shop
ping during the morning, when we VIII
be able 10 give them more attention.

The Macon VOIunteevs Defeated by
SCORE of II to 8.

The largest crowd OF the season, with
enc exception, witnessed the defeat of the
Macon Volunteers by the Chatham Ar

negro girl named Hattie Haynes applied
to VIM. Drayton, an industrious cOlored
man who has a farm on the Middle

a farm than have a service place in the
city. On Friday morning Drayton and
his family noticed that the girl was
a long time leaving the house to
follow them into the field, and
returned 10 see where she was. He found
the place deserted, one trunk broken open
and another rifled OF It's contents, con-
sisting partly of $40 in silver and num-
Der of receipts and other papers. He

LAYrON's LOST CAUSE.
The Jury Returns Verdict in Favor of
Mr. Schwarz.

MI. ScnMMTL.
The suit of A. g. Layton against Emil
A. Schwarz for $4,000 damages for ma
licious prosecution and false imprison-
ment was resumed at the conveningof the
City Court yesterday. The taking Of testi-
mony both for the prosecution and
defense was concluded on Friday
night, and at the opening of the court the
argument Of counsel was begun. Hon. =.
W. Meldrm spoke for the detense, and II q.
G. Cunningham, Esq, an1 Henry Nc
Alpin, ESD, tor the prosecution. Mr..
Meldrim made complete review of the
testimony which was taken during the
first day of the trial, and called the atten-
ton of the jury to the transactions
of the prosecutor while he
was canvassing tOr business as
an advertising agent. The history of the
circumstances which eliminated in the
arrest of Layton on the charge of cheat
ing and swindling, together with his
movements in the case against
MIR. Schwarz, were freely commented
upon in way which commanded
the undivided attention OF the jury, and
deeply impressed all who heard the argu-
ment as being one Of the abbsst that has
been delivered in the court for some time.
Capt. Cunningham and Mr.. McAlpin fol-
lowed in behalf OF the prosecution.
The delivery of Mr.. Cunuingham's
argument occupied about an hour.
The court then took recess until
4:3O O'Clock. The jury was charged
by the court and retired to make
verdict on the first plea, the second
plea or count charging false imprison-
ment having been withdrawn from con-
sideration OF the jury. There
was considerable speculation as to what
the verdict of the jury would be, but all
theories upon the subject were speedily
removed. An agreement was announced
in a few minutes, the verdict being in
favor OF the defe ndant.
