business on the basis of big volume
And buying in big volume has overcome the handi-
imposed by the conditions that have ruled in the

This coupled with Oak Halls ability to pay spot cash
the best offerings of manufacturers and to clear their
stockroom no matter how their stock of good suit

customers.
Our sales force is ready, the suits are
ready and no matter how great the demand
or how big the rush that greets Oak Halls
famous June clearing house sale tomorrow,
customers will receive prompt and courteous
attention.

GARDEN WAS SAVED
BY HIS IRRIGATION

Early this spring, Mr.. H. E. Allen
installed in his garden behind his
pretty Lee street home, a complete ir-
rigation plant, adopting the Skinner
system, as the best adapted to his
needs. The system was installed at a
low cost, and is the pride of Mr.. AL
len and his friends as we'll.
The wisdom Of the installation is be-
ing demonstrated daily, too, and as
viewed from the windows of the Times
Recorder building, Mr.. Aliens garden
presents as pretty sight as is to be
seen anywhere about Americas. Fine,
dark green, broad-leaved corn waving
il the gentle breeze, the small roast
i!.g ears just peeping from between
the verdant blades of foliage, is sur
rounded on every side by luxuriant
vegetation of the sort grown in this
climate. Tomatoes as big as nickel's
worth of ice dangle from the vines
supported by stout sticks driven into
the ground, have not yet reached ma
turity, while tender snap beans, beets
and new potatoes raised in his garden
have already graced Mr.. Aliens table.
And Mr.. Allen gives much credit for
this splendid garden to the irrigation
system he installed. Each afternoon,
or whenever the soil needs moisture,
lie goes into the garden and by open
ing valve can produce rain" all over
or in any part of the big garden, the
water being precipitated upward and
falling upon the earth in the form of
mist gently enough to avoid disturb
| ing even the most tender of vegetation,
iyet in such manner as to insure every
drop of water soaking into the soil,
here to nourish the plants. Truly, this
irrigation system is sight we'll worth
seeing in operation, and Mr.. Allen
daily explains to his friends the ad-
vantages gained through its installa-
ton

FIRST CAR PEACHES
FROM MARSHALLVILLE

ATLANTA, May 30.-The open
ing of the Georgia peach season in
the Marshallville and Fort Valley Sec
ticn was signalized this week by the
shipment of the first Georgia peaches
from Marshallville to the East, accord
ing to advices just received here by
the Georgia Fruit Exchange. While
there were only two crates in the first
shipment consigned by express to
Robt. T. Cochran and Company, of
New York, it was expected a carload
would follow Immediately from Byron,
Ga, for the same market.
The Marshallville shipment was the
Mayfower, an early variety, which
quite short this year. Last year a
carload of Mayflowers was shipped at
this time The Byron carload is made
UP of Uneedas and other early variet-
les.
Peach shipments will go forward
more rapidly from day to day until
the heighth of the season is reached
in the latter part of June. The Geor-
gia Fruit Exchange has completed
every possible arrangement for handl-
ing the crop through the territory all
the way from Canada to Texas, and
indication continue to point to splendid
demand for fruit at good prices.

IT'S HARD ON THE
NERVES Of ANYBODY

If Sam Jones had been on the stage
last night at the Chautauqua some
body would have been embarrassed
for Sam would have certainly told that
mob of people who were so unthought-
full as to do a grand march out during
the program, what he thought.
And the babies were delighting in the
program, if their bawl is to be taken
as a barometer. And the folks were
going in and out; moving their seats
and coming back to them-it's terrible
on people trying to entertain and as
bad on an audience who doesn't care
to be pestered with these ever-moving
objects.
During the lecture last night, the
people focked backwards and for
ward-everyone almost waiting until
Mr.. Albert had begun his address. It's
true they were noticed more by leav-
ing his address-and that's what they
are after.
But, seriously, people can be re-
spectful of a public gathering and
public speaker. You make an obnox-
ious spectacle when you parade around
while other people have the floor. And
the people who insist on explaining
during the program and renditions,
what has already been explained
would that We could forget them.
