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.

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.

Tho clerk rend a copy of a resolu 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. Banks' Closing Hour.
