All the Merchants are
Announcing Openings
ENORMOUS STOCKS OF MER
CHANDISE IN ALL LINES AND
THE STORES HAVE BEEN
CROWDED ALL WEEK.
(From Wednesday’s Dally.)
Th e Bpring parade in Valdosta
will be on In earnest during the
present week. It you have any
friends or neighbors whom you have
rot seen In the last vear or two
you will b a very apt to find them
In the different stores this week
looking at the new spring goods and
picking out the different styles tor
the dress and the hat which they
will buy between now and Easter.
Every day for the past week or
two the dry goods stores and the
mllllonery parlors hare been almost
overrun with visitors. Scores of peo
ple have come to Valdosta from all
of the adjoining counties and towns
for the purpose of seeing what the
Valdosta merchants are going to
show.
The consensus of opinion Is that
the displays this year are very mneh
larger than ever before and nearly
everybody Is pleased with the styles.
The dresses and hats are all simpler
and are better material, making the
cost about the same as heretofore.
A great many people who have
passed through Valdosta during the
pest week on their way to Florida
from the North have stopped to ad
mire the gobds which are being
shown In the stores here and there
have ibeen many exclamations of
surprise that such splendid stocks
"have been brought to a city of Val
dosta’s also. Nearly all of the Visi
tors declare that the goods that are
being displayed here are exactly the
same as ar e being shown In Atlanta
and all of the larger cities, the dif
ference being that the stocks are
hardly so large, giving each bnyer
an oportunlty to get exclusive styles.
In the clothing stores, the stocks
this year are very much larger than
formerly and all of the displays are
new. The clothing merchants are
paying mor 0 attention to spring and
summer comfort and the tailors are
using mor e common sense with the
clothing which men are to wear.
The bats and shoes are much more
reasonable than they were last
year, the hats being lighter and
giving better shsde to the eyes,
while the shoes hav e more shape to
them and the heels are not so high.
Men's shirts, ties, socks, and under
wear are being show n In the great
est array l„ all of the clothing
stores, and the clothing merchants
say that th e spring and summer
trade has already opened In earnest
It Is only two or three weeks now
until Easter and If the present
weather keeps up a few days longer
there will be plenty of spring cloth
ing worn by both sexes, for.there are
plenty of people who like to be first
to come out In the new spring styles.

i NEGRO MAN'S HEAD WAS
BEATEN TO JELLY BY A LIT
TLE NEGRO WOMAN, WHO
CLAIMS SELF-DEFENSE.
Will Freeman, the negro who wae
so badly beaten by the negro woman
known as ‘‘Little Bit" last Friday
night, died of his Injuries between
nine and ten o’clock last night,
was known all along that Freeman’s
condition was very seriouB and no
body who saw him expected him to
recover.
It has been a very difficult mat
ter lor the officers to And out any
thing about tbe beating, though the,
woman doclares that she did It her
self and that sho did It because Will
Freeman waa after her with a ra-
rpr.
It Is not believed that Freeman
waa alter her when the Ant blow
was delivered with the Iron and
there are many who believe that
somebody else and not the woman
did the beating. It Is argued that
It would hare been almost Impossi
ble tor such a amall person to have
Infflcted such terrible Injuries on
such a large negro. If she did the
beating the first blow was Inflicted
when he was not looking and he wae
so badly stunned fey that blow that
she found It easy to follow It np
with other licks.
The theory Is that he waa either
asleep or was slitting at the table
and she struck him from behind. The
first blow fractured his skull from
the top around towards tha rear of
bis head. It Is thought that this
blow stunned him atffl'Wf probably
fell to the floor, though there were
