Some Beautiful Spring Novelties
For Chautauqua
New Grey Skirts
mer costumes.
Priced $5 to $15
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
1 top of a two-buttqn silk glove. Look as well
and are much more convenient than the long
' glbives, for the short gloves may be taken off
"and the glove tops left snugly fit on the atm.
Black and white.
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 bom of
of closest touch with the fashion centers—have conspired to give
us this week all that was lacking to make dur 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 rea,d
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 kpow—so much that you should know. But it would hardly
be timely to begin now, so come down tomorrow and let us finish
fitting you for Chautauqua.
In our last shipment of Skirts were a
number of the most beautiful 'Gray Skirts
Skirts we’ve seen this season. The materials
Panama and Worsteds — are especially
good in quality, the shades are unusually
pretty, and the tailoring is exceptional.
Some are shown in npw shadow plaids.
These Skirts are circular shaped and the de
signs are new and striking. Very reasonably
priced. >

There was a special meeting ot the
City Council at 3 o’clock yesterday
afternoon for the purpose of giving
attention to various matters. The
meeting was called in view of the fact
that there will probably be no session
of the body next Monday night, the
time for the next regular meeting.
Mayor Rawson and Aldermen Tarver,
Ehrlich, Clark, Rawlins, P. H. and R.
L. Jones wore present.
The principal matter considered was
a proposition of the Central of Geor
gia railway,' presented through its at
torneys, Messrs. Wooten & Hofmayer,
relative to the proposed change of the
direction of Washington stfeet. where,
in the recently annexed territory on
the north side of the city, it crosses
the Central's tracks.
The railway company offered to
share with the city the expense of
widening Washington street and. of i
changing its direction, so that Instead
of diagonally crossing eight track* at
the present point of intersection, the
street would, under the arrangement
proposed, cross but two tracks at right'
angles. The estimated cost of the;
result of the city’s present financial
condition, but the purch'ase of the
side arms for present memhers of the
force was ordered. The clerk was In
structed to communicate Council s ac
tion to the Police Commission.
The sum of $100 was appropriated
for the San Francisco sufferers, sub
ject to call of the mayor of the strick
en city, whom the clerk was instructed
to notify by telegraph.
The following city tax assessors for
the current year were elected:
Personalty—E. R. West, J. B. Gil
bert, J. D. Pope.
Realty—J. S. Davis, S. W. Smith, T.
N. Woolfolk.
A petition signed by about 120 local
employes of different railroads was
presented, begging Council to Imme
diately take steps for the drainage of
the ponds between the Union depot
and yards of the Central road and
Flint river.
Alderman Tarver stated that repre
sentatives ot the Central, S. A. L. and
A. & N. roads had assured him that
these roads would Immediately have
their part of the work done, and after
the meeting adjourned the mayor and
several aldermen went down to make
an on-the-ground inspection of the
ponds with a view to having the own
ers drain their lands without delay.

to oppose the plan “on general prlnc!-!

Col. Wooten and Mr. Hofmayer were

tion adopted by • the Police Commis
sion at the last meeting of that body,
in which the Council was asked to
favor the Commission with the cour
tesy of a reply to a recent request for
an additional policeman and improved
side-arms, holsters, etc. It developed
that, although Council had acted on
these requests, no report had been
made to the Commission. _
There was considerable - discussion
of this matter. Col. Wooten, who Is
a member ot the Commission, ex
plained that the chief of police strong
ly urged the absolute necessity of add
ing another man to the police force,
and briefly stated the reasons ad
vanced by the chief. The request for
another man was declined, however,
on the grounds ot Inexpediency as the
There was quite a lively little fight
at the New Albany Steam Laundry
this morning. It seems that Ross
Barber, one of the employes of the
laundry, has taken a violent distaste
to walking. Having occasion to go a
while, he rode oft on Clark Singleton’s
wheel without taking the precaution
of asking his consent. Singleton also
works at the laundry. When he re
turned, Singleton desired to know the
whys and wherefores of this manner
of traveling. Barber, with an atr of
hauteur that would have done credit
to an orchestral conductor, disdained
to explain. Angry words followed,
and Barbel reached for his hip pocket.
Tills innocent action, however, so in
censed Singleton that he landed one
on Barber’s jaw. A rough and tumble
fight followed. At this juncture Officer
Walden arrived on the scene and broke
up the fight. Later he made out cases
against both of them.

There’s Science in
Shoe Fitting
No matter how fine, how stylish, or how well made
-if a Shoe doesn’t fit properly it’s not satisfactory.
The day of fitting Shoes by number has past. There
are so many widths, shapes and styles that it is
necessary to have them fitted by expert fitters. We
not only have the Shoes, but have men who under
