Money is Kasier.

So everybody says, and the best evidence
in the world that it is not so easy as people
think is the low schedule of prices ruling at
Sternberg's Jewelry and Art Establishment
on fine Silverware, Watches, Jewelry, Pre-
cious Stones, Fancy Articles. Bric-a-brac,
etc. "Sternberg's" enjoys big reputation
as surveyors of wedding and other presents,
and their success is due only TO the salts
faction always given by the goods. Any
thing from Silver Cup for the baby to the
most elaborate set Of single pieces of Solid
Silver or fine Plated Ware can be promptly
supplied at as low figure as can be obtained
in any Of the northern markets, and their
prominence in the local commercial circle is
protection against the Misrepresentation
or dissatisfaction that attaches to purchases
abroad.
Money is needed at Sternberg's, and buy
ers will find it to their interest to look over
our stock and prices.

Good for All Three.

The greatest good for the greatest num-
Der is the mark aimed at by all reformers,
and to reach it secures the greatest acclaim
Of fame that can be had. 1t is good thing
for the consumer, for the manufacturer, for
the newspapers, when an article of merit is
put upon the market, is made known bv
newspaper advertising, and, through a Sc
ries OF years, proves its worth to lessen
labor in millions Of homes, profits the
newspapers, aud gives its makers a fair
living. Pearline, the great washing powder
manufactured by James Pyle & Sons, New
York, has done all this. If it is not maxim Q
labor easier in your home, it is your fault.
Something OF its history Is made plain in
an advertisement in another column.

upward of 165, 900 miles of railroad and the
population has increased to 5000, 900.
An electric railway is to be constructed
between Seattle and Tacoma, Wash dis
taace of forty-two miles. This will be the
longest electric road in existence, and its
successful and economical operation will
go far to demonstrate the feasibility of ap-
plying electric motive power to railways of
very much greater length.
A Macon dispatch says an old report has
been revived to the effect that the Georgia
Southern and Florida road is an active
bidder for the Covington and Macon and is
in the field against any and all competitors

NOT GOING TO RESIGN.

Gen. Alexander Puts in Another De-
NAL 20 an Old Rumor.
Gen. Alexander is kept busy denying the
rumor that he is to resign the presidency of
the Central railroad. The Wall Street Jour
nal Of New York day or two ago printed
the following:
"It is reported that Gen. Alexander will
resign the presidency of the Georgia Gen.
trail. This has attracted considerable atten.
ton, in view Of the fact that important
changes In the company's management have
been contemplated for some time. We I'M
derstand this is part of the general plan
OF the Richmond Terminal company to
consolidate the management of its different
lines under one head. 1t is also understood
that the resignation of Gen. Alexander is
simply in the line Of making him general
manager of the whole system"
The rumor has been current for some time
and has been denied before. Gen. Alexander
was seen yesterday and he reiterated his
denial OF any contemplated change. AS to
a consolidation of the management of the
Richmond Terminal lines, Gen. Alexander
said that he does not think there is even the
probability of such a step being taken.
