Glove Tops Just In
Glove Tops are among the latest, and,
we may add, the most sensible novelties of
the season. Made of pure silk, and clasp on
top of a two-button silk glove. Look as well
and are much more convenient than the long
gloves, for the short gloves may be taken off
and the glove tops left snugly fit on the arm.
Black and white.

Some Beautiful Spring Novelties
For Chautauqua
We were awfully afraid they would not get here for Chautau
qua—these Spring Novelties. There has been such an overwhelm
ing demand on the manufacturers this season for the new* foibles
of fashion. Orders that were placed months ago are still un
shipped. The great bulk of business has even swamped the rail
roads, and much-needed shipments have been provokingly delayed.
But luck, and what is better than luck—a foresight born of
of closest touch with the fashion centers—have conspired to give
us this week all that was lacking to make our wonderful spring
# stock really magnificent in its comprehensiveness:
The new things shown this week are NEW things—the very
latest and most favored creations of fashion. The things you read
about in the recent and most authentic fashion journals.
And just as they were described, you will find them here, in
all their springtime beauty and freshness, holding their places in
this splendid stock.
It is no wonder that our sales this spring have shown such
wonderful increase. There is ample justification for this growth
in the stock—larger, finer and more complete than any we have
ever shown—and in the unusually good values, which, through
careful, competent and timely buying, we are able to offer.
But why repeat what you must already have learned in visit-
ing our store? Yet there is so much about this store that we want
you to know—so much that you should know. But it would hardly
be timely to begin now, so come down .tomorroMf and let us finish
fitting you for Chautauqua!

Picked Up At out Town.
A handsome vestibule passenger
coach has recently been made a part
of the equipment of one of the daily
passenger trains running on the At
lantic Coast Line between Albany and
Brunswick. The announcement Is.
made that In the course of a few
weeks a similar coach will be given'
each of the three other daily trains
between the same points, The coaches
designated for this service have lately
been running on the winter tourist
trains to and from Florida points and
compare favorably with the best day I
coaches on trains in this section. |
This first of the vestlbuled coaches
to be put on the B. & W. caused n
funny thing to happen a few days ago. i
A resident of Worth county had j
been spending the morning in Albany j
and hurried to the depot a little be-1
fore 2 o’clock to catch the train due
to leave over the Coast Line at that
hour. He was a little late, and as he
rushed onto the dopct platform the
train was pulling out.
Throwing several of his bundles up
on the, rear platform and holding other
packages under one arm, he swung up
the steps. Getting his bundles to
gether again he entered the vestibule
coach.
Then his jaw dropped, his eyes op
ened wide, and he stopped In evident
dismay. He looked at the luxurious
seats, and up at the handsome decora
tions on the walls and celling of the
coach. Suddenly the expression of
bewilderment fled from his face, to be
succeeded by one of settled conviction.
Grasping his bundles more tightly he
turned and bunded through the door
by which he had just entered. He (
passed down the steps, and jumped to
the ground just as the coach was about
to go upon the river bridge. ;
Walking back to the depot the
Worth countinn accosted a man in
blue overalls and asked: "What time
does the Coast Line train leave for
Sylvester?"
‘That's it y >u just jumped off of,"
was the reply.
The man with the bundles looked
longingly at the line of black smoke
which was fast lengthening in the dis
tance on the other side of the river.
As he turned toward the waiting room
he remarked as if to himself but loud
enough to be heard:
“Wonder what’s next* First it was
coal burners on the old road, and ev
erybody said Boss Plant turned over
in his grnxt*. I reckon he must er
busted the tombstone when he heard
that the new gang had put a vestibule
coach on the cigar box train.’’ -
ward glance, but did not stop. Throw
ing back his head, he proceeded on his
way as ‘though he didn't know’ there
w r as such a thing as corn whiskey. He
even undertook to whistle a tune.
But Policeman Walden happened to
be standing near, and was a witness
to the comic little tragedy.
“Hi, there—you!" he called to the
young man.
The latter stopped, and the officer
continued: “Come back here antf
throw that glass outside.”
The young man obeyed, while the
crowd’looked on and smiled. But the
young man couldn’t scare up any more
whistle.
They tell this one on a drummer
who visits Albany frequently:
He was down in a little country
town not forty miles awn?. He was
doing his level best to sell a bill of
tobacco to an old merchant who is
noted for his honesty and for hid
faithfulness to the houses with which
he has been doing business for years.
“Mr. C., you need 100 pounds of this
brand, and you need fifty of that. You
can’t get along without It—you really
can’t. And if you don’t make this
brand your leader, your competitors
will simply run you out of business."
That is a sample of the drummer’s
shop talk.
The old gentleman listened patiently
for some time. Finally he called to
his son, who was at woik in the back
part of the store:
"Oh, George," he said: “lock the
safe, and bring the keys here. I’m
going to turn ’em over to this drum
mer. He knows all about our business
and we don’t know a darn thing, so we
might as well turn it over to him and
l^t him get it going right. Hurry up,
George."
The drummer went out by a side
door. t

Here is another one that happened
at the depot:
A young man in a gray suit and with
a brown derby on his head came hur
rying across the platform to catch the
noon Central train.
While he was thirty feet away from
the coach which he intended to board
a quart flask fell from his hip pocket
It was stuttered on the platform. A
widening puddle appeared about the
brown wrapping paper, and the mellow
aroma of good com liquor filled the
air.
The young man gave one swift back

The committees who have been can
vassing the city for the past day or
two selling Chautauqua season tickets
report gratifying success. The cit
izens are responding most generously
to the appeal of the committeemen
and nearly everyone is buying one or
more tickets.
Mr. S. B. Brown, who with Mr. R. L.
Jones, solicited sales on Washington
and Pine streets, stated to a Herald
reporter this morning that they had
sold over 200 season tickets and would
probably sell from 20 to 30 more in
their territory. This number exceeds
considerably the number that was
sold over the same territory last year,
and last year the sales were larger
than ever before. The other commit
tees are meeting with good success.
This is an evidence both of the
growing interest in Chautauqua and
in the increased number of residents
in the city this year. Albany will grow
right along with the Chautauqua, and
the Chautauqua will grow right along
with Albany. The growth of the one
stimulates the growth of the other.
Which Comes to ’Chautauqua.
Special to The Herald.
Savannah, Ga., April 19—The Wood
men of the World band of Savannah
will leave next week to play at the
Albany Chautauqua. This is the first
engagement this bund has received
for an occasion of this kind, and the
members are very anxious to show
what they can do. The Chatham Ar
tillery will go down the day after the
band goes and remain two days at the
Chautauqua.
The continued warm weather is fast
forcing out the foliage of the trees.
To the stranger who passes through
Albany the contrast between it and
the towns of North Georgia is most
striking. There the leaves are just
beginning to show themselves, .while
here they look almost full grown.
Quite a number of passengers
passed through the Union depot this
morning. It was a rather busy time
for the trainmen.
How about a new harness now?
Would you buy one if we coaxed you
with a low price? Come in tomorrow
and we’ll show you just what we mean
by a low price.
