IN AND ABOUT THE CITY
EATABLEs GOING Up.
An Advance IN Nearly All Lines OF
Grocers' Goods.

An Advance IN Nearly AL Lines OF
Grocers' Goods.
The recent advance in the price of retail
groceries is exciting general attention
among consumers, especially on the part Of
those who pay the bills. They have been
surprised TO find that almost everything 70
supply the table has advanced In price, and
naturally they are inquiring the reason.
A MoRNIsG News reporter saw num-
Der of the retail grocerymen yesterday.
They said it is true, and that the prlcs Of
almost everything in the grocery line has
advanced.
The advance in the price Of staple gro
ceries is not so great as In the line OF fancy
groceries, canned goods and specialties,
being Just about the usual increase at this
season Of the year. The increase in the
price of staple groceries is plainly marked,
however. Flour has gone up IS 70 so cents
per barrel, hams l cent pound, meal, rice
and pearl grits about 25 per cent, butter
and cheese 20 TO % per cent, and other
things IN proportion. Sugar went up a
quarter of a cent recently, which Is re-
garded as only one Of the usual variations
OF the market, as sugars are considered
very cheap Just now. In fact, the articles
that have not gone up are the exception and
not the rule
The most marked increase is in the price
Of canned goods and dried fruits, which are
rapidly getting out Of reach of the average
purchaser. This is caused by the almost
total failure Of this years fruit crop.
Scarcely any fruit was canned ct dried, and
the grocers cannot get their orders filed for
some lines of these goods.
No peaches were packed in the east at all
this year, and the California crop is supply
ing the market.
s. W. Branch said that Gordon & Dill
worth Of New York will not name price
now on branded peaches which they sold
at $40 per dozen last year, and they cannot
be had for less than SIC per dozen.
Canned corn tomatoes and HOLSTERS have
increased greatly in price. Salmon are
about the only canned goods that have not
advanced All specialties will be very
high this fall
James McGrath said there is a general
increase in the price of all groceries except
sugars, and the other grocers agreed with
him.
Even apples were failure this year, and
can be found only in spots in Connecticut.
Michigan, Ohio and Kansas. The crop Is
being marketed now at "a and IS per barrel
In the north
A short production and heavy demand
have caused an increase in the prices Of all
groceries, specislties more especially, and it
will take long pocketbOok to supply a
good table this fall

GUYTON's BAND CONCERT.
A Delightful Entertainment in Ef1ng,
hams Flourishing Metropolis


The entertainment given by the silver
cornet band at the Guyton hall Monday
night was a fine success in every particular.
The attendance was more than the hall
could comfortably seat, and many were
forced to stand during the prog. ess Of the
entertainment,
The performance opened with few in
trcductory remarks from L. L. Cubbedge,
who explained hat the members had been
TO considerable outlay in establishing the
band and employing an instructor, etc, and
this being their first appearance before the
public he was delighted to see so many
present, which was evidence Of the interest
manifested by the music-loving people of
Guyton and vicinity, who never failed to
encourage such enterprises.
The progress made by the band aston
ished Guytonians. Their programme en-
braced some fine selections, which were very
creditably rendered and received well mer-
tied applause.
Misses Katie Hawkins, Maud Griner and
Mona Meredith, representing the Guyton
Glees, gave vocal selectians which were
very fine and were loudly applauded.
Prof Cobb gave several fine selections on
the cornet, with piano accompaniment by
Miss Katie Hawkins, which were repeatedly
encored.
Master Emmett Robinson, the diminutive
son of NJ. E. Robinson. sang two songs
most cunningly, and not only astonishei
every one on account of his tender age, but
was repeatedly encored
The quartette in character. "Down south
where the sugar-cane grows was one OF
the most amusing pieces of the evening.
The young gentlemen who composed the
quartette took off their characters well.
The speech of Sam Cross in the African
dialect was very fine and brought down
the house. Prof. Cubbs hand was seen all
through the entertainment, which proved
an evening of great pleasure to Guytonians
