\ SPRING OPENING.
Our Spring Opening of Millinery will Occur on Wed
N n esday and Thursday, April first and second, and we invite
and shall be glad if every lady in this section will attend.
I We have abandoned our custom of sending to our friends
I printed invitations because of the limitations of memory which
p* occasioned us often to overlook the very ones we would be
.
gladdest to have present, So this is our only announcement
and invitation and we sincerely hope that it will reach all of
our many friends. We feel that our success in Millinery
would render common any self laudation and we have only to
say that this department will be presided over as before by
Misses \oung and Carroll, whose long experience gives them
3 increased ability to please you, We shall be very glad to
1 have you attend our opening.

The Panama Canal.
I he passage of the Panama Ca¬
nal bill marks au important era
in the development of the com
nierce of the I nited States and
especially of the Southern and
South-eastern ports. The open¬
ing of this ship canal for traffic
between the Atlantic and Pacific
Ocean, across the Central Amer¬
ican Isthmus, will open up the
western countries of South Amer¬
ica to the commerce pf this CPUU-
try in a way that has been entire- j
ly unknown in the past. It will |
be difficult to measure the great
importance of this inter-oceanic
highway to the South, but of
course the full tide of benefit will
not come until the canal is a>
tually constructed and open to
; commerce. However, it is likely
that the influence of the passage
of the measure and the actual pro¬
jection of the work will be felt in
the South, especially at coast
points and those along the com
morcml highways that are sure to
developed by this great enterprise,
because wise investors will realize
that investments can be placed
now very much more advantageous
terms than they can he after the
canal is built, and they will put
in their money now in order to
get the full benefit of the large i ln
crease that will ultimately come
on such wisely placed investments
I he fact that the bill for the
construction of the canal passed
so unanimously gives assurance
that the season of long delay is
over, and that the enterprise will
soon become an actual undertak¬
ing. Of course it cannot be built
in a day. The estimates show it
can be constructed in seven years
but if it takes ten that is a very
short time in the life of a nation,
The terms under which the canal
is to be constructed are not alto¬
gether those that, were desired by
the friends and champions of the
measure, but the fact that the ca¬
nal is to be constructed and will
be under the Ameri lean control is
the great fundamental necessity
and other matters are simply de
tails. The supremacy of the
L mted States on the canal in time
of war would depend, treaty or
treaty, no
upon the ability of this
government to maintain its con¬
trol. When nations are at war,
they are not likely to worry about
the conditions of a treaty. J t is
might that makes right in such
times. The terms of the treaty
uudey , yhisl-j , . the caual is to be

built have been briefly Synopsis
as follows:
