Everything new in Midsummer Millinery! Hats
to order now have the right of way. The filmy •
summer stuffs are Mouseline de Soie, Chiffons and
Laces. The stock is replete in all colors and white.
The new flowers just received include all scarce
varieties, such as Poppies, Geraniums, Clover Blos
soms,, Foliage and Boses. The low prices named be
lie the qualities. The extent and variety of this new
Flower Stock finds not comparison elsewhere in
North Georgia. The “exclusive” styles exclude
all Grocery Store Varieties. Here Silk and
Velvet flowers supplant the Cotton qualities
elsewhere. You can tell by looking '. Just one grain
of common sense is a Power in the Millinery busi
ness ! Why not use it and look as weU as any ?
The increasing shipments, of Hat Boxes bespeak a
want at Hodge’s ; the constant arrival of Ex- •
press Packages supports the theory that busi
ness is good at Hodge’s. This Has been the Ban
ner May, since the Hodge’s landed in Georgia,
and they are grateful to the friends who came, with
no ill feeling toward those who thought better to
stay away. Independence is a happy possession ;
we claim it for ourselves, in granting it to all others.
Past transactions are closed, we do not recall them
in argument for present or future business. We re
ly entirely on the merit of our Selections of
Goods, bought as low as cash can buy, directed by
long Experience and sold at the lowest prices quick
cash can obtain. Our reputation for good work is
carefully guarded. Our success with Bonnets
others, more pretentious than we, failed on, can-
be proven, then if you haven’t, why not get your
hat at Hodge’s? who are “ exclusive ” and proudly
so in Style, Quality and _ Price, as well as
originality.
Recent shipments of Leghorn Hats, Wire
Frames and Ribbons, together with the new laces,
mousselines and flowers, make the stock more com
plete than ever before

Down the avenue she’s coming, ^
Her bicycle fairly humming,
And my heart is in a flutter^
I can’t tell you how I feel
When a glance at me she flashes,
From beneath her silken lashes.
And I get a smile from Rosebud-
Pretty Rosebud, on her wheel.
How that boyiBh cap caresses
All those curly, short, brown tresses!
How responsive to her pressure
Is that flying steed of steel!
Ah lucky wheel to linger
Neath the touch of her small finger
With the guider held by Rosebud-
Little Rosebud, on her wheel.
Alack: that wheel is all her joy.
Never yt, has any boy
Caused her pain beyond the power
Of that horrid “ bike” to heal.
But she’s daily growing older,
And I may—when I am bolder—
Coax sweet Rosebud to ride tandem
Down life’s journey on my wheel.

yesterday and informs The Citi

hotel man anywhere than John
Webb.
A Princely FeUow.
•There is a man in Dalton, about
whom we have often felt inclined
to write, who is as' distinctive as a
citizen and friend, as he is suc
cessful iu business,
That man is Alex Hodge, the
affable gentleman and splendid
leader of fashion in the headgear
line.
His store is a veritable haven
for women who want to keep up
with the latest styles, and what
woman is it who does not want
to keep out of exile ?
But it is not of Alex Hodge’s
business experience that we desire
to write. It is the man himself.
He is one of the mostr obliging of
princely fellows; a man of strict
integrity; a friend of whom it may
be said that he is loyal to a fault,
and a gentleman from the crown
of his head to the sole of his feet.
He deserves all that he gets
from this world, for he receives
much less than the world gets
from him. Long life to such as
he.
Gets The Ticket.
To Loveman & Sons.
Dear Sirs:
We, your committee appointed

the Nashville Exposition.
Respectfully,
F. T. Reynolds, Chairman.

out, attempting to gain an en
trance through the back' door.
Mr. Hannah shouted to the. man
to stop but with one spring he
leaped the back fence and sped
away into the darkness of the al

at him from the window but
neither seemed to have struck
him Nothing was taken from
the store for the burglar was evi
dently just preparing to enter.

probable ^fie will be given a call in

been without a pastor for some
time -and will do their best to in
duce him to come. Mr. Mecklin

contents of any letters he may
have received, but The Citizen
knows it to be a fact. The peo

lose such a pastor and scholarly
preacher as Mr. Mecklin, and
they should take auy steps to urge

decide that way.
