MAKE COMMENCEMENT AND
CHAUTAUQUA A SUCCESS.
The fact that commencement
and chautauqua will be held to
gether this year makes it. very
important, that the people of
Barnesville should put forth extra
efforts to make the occasion an
unusually successful one. The
combination of these two impor
tant events will give a great many
people an opportunity to attend
both, whereas they might not at
tend either. The entertainments
to he furnished by commencement
and chautauqua will certainly au
thorize the attendance of anybody
who wants to take a week off from
business and enjoy at the same
time the most helpful entertain
ment. There will be present the
very best musicians, lecturers and
other pleasing attractions, any of
which will he worth what it will
cost to hear the whole weeks pro
gram.
President Oliphant can guaran
tee that the commencement exer
cises will be up to the usual stand
ard of excellence, and while there
will he less of them, the exhibi
tions that are given will he
highly interesting.
The chautauqua program will be
excellent. The attractions secured
are believed to he far above the
average and such that will more
than pleuse all patrons. They
have been carefully selected and
while none of them have ever
been to Barnesville before they
are so highly endorsed that there
is every reason to think that the
chautauqua program is an unusual
ly strong one and one t hat will give
eminent satisfaction. Every citi
zen should contribute everything
possible to make the event the
most successful Barnesville has
ever had. The community needs
it probably more than heretofore
and it cun easily he made what
it ought to he by every one help
ing it on to success.
Bet everybody therefore talk
and work for the success of com
mencement and chautauqua. June
12th. to June 20th.

Summer Dress Goods
FOR THE
Commencement,
Chautauqua and
Picnic Season.
The light sheer fabrics that will make the summer
bearable. The newest that’s to be had in the eastern
and foreign markets will be at your finger’s end in the
Collier Stores.
Silk Persian Lawn, the light, silky tissue, that holds
the same relative position in summer materials as the
crepe-de-chine does in the woolen materials, 30 inches,
40 aud 50c.
Paris Lawn, the fabric that’s very much similar to
the wash chiffons, but of a better and more lasting
weave, 44 to 54 inches, 40 and 50c.
Egyptian tissues, for colored dresses, is the superior
of any weave yet out for a cool, light, durable dress—
the lot of colors is surprisingly large—2sc.
White Lawn, in the close, smooth weave and the
sheer, thin kind in all widths up to 40 inches, 5 to 50c.
Dress Hats.
A dress hat for summer may be made out of good
material and well put together, yet not look like it
ought.
Most milliners don’t make enough dress hats for the
summer to force them to study the little niceties—the
large black or white hats—that goes to make up a cor
rect dress hat. We make so many high class dress
hats that we know every “kink” that goes into one.
The excellence of our other hats is a gauge of the
excellence of our dress hats.
Just come and see—you’ll he interested.

Low Shoe Time.
The ideal shoe for summer*wear is decidedly the low
shoe. If you’ve never worn them you have no idea of
their effect upon your temperature and comfort. As to
appearance, the foot never looks smarter nor more trim
than when enclosed in a low shoe. They are cool, they
are comfortable, they are correct, and are more in vogue
this summer than ever.
We have, no doubt, the best shoes in town —Krippen-
dorf, Dittman and J. & M., and ever}' other good shoe;
Blue Steel, too.
We Close at 6 p. m.
so that our faithful sales people may get some recrea
tion and pleasure.
