Fall Display
or
MILLINERY
Tuesday and Wednesday
September 27 and 28
This is our fourth season in the Millinery bus
iness and while each season has been a phenominal
success, we expect to raise this department to a
higher standard than ever. We have sifted the
markets and culled from the production of the ar
tists the most elligible things.
Having received the
Best Selected
Stock of Millinery
Ever shipped into Barnseville, the other important
factor was to secure the services of
MISS SALLIE RUSHIN
for the season. Miss Rusin has more natural tact
and more experience in the Millinery business than
any lady in Georgia. Those who know her realizes
this to be a truthful statement. She leaves nothing
undone in her effort to please her customers.
MISS JESSIE TORBERT will assist Miss
Rushin. Come and see our display and feast your
eyes on the zenith of art in HATw-. In connection
with our mammoth Hat display we will have on
exhibition all the latest novelties in
Dress Goods Trimmings, &c.
Will keep open until io o’clock p. m for the bene
fit of those who cannot attend during the day.

money. Cali and try us and you will be convinced.

Thirst
There is nothing like a glass of .Soda from our fountain. All the
PRETTY GIRLS
from everywhere come here for a glass of Soda, and they declare
it is the most delicious to be had in town. It should be. We
make every effort to get as near perfection in its production
as possible. Try it.

ENTERTAINMENT.
Mr. Charles Hammond Frye
will give a picture play of Russo-
Japanese war int. lie interest of the
vocal Alumnae of Wesleyan Fe
male College on Friday evening,
Sept. 23 at the Auditorium of
Gordon Institute.
There will be an opening Over
ture and a vocal number by some
of the resident Alumnae of Bar
nesville and as the Memorial is
an educational hall, to be built by
women, they feel that our town
should not fall behind in the good
work. Wesleyan Female College
is the oldest chartered College for
the education of women in the
world.
It has sent out thousands of
useful Christians into all of the
states, and many foreign lands,
and some of the noble teachers of
Gordon Institute received then
diplomas at this time honored in
stitution.
These views of the Russo-Japan
ese War will prove of interest to
the cadets of the Institute, and as
we have not had an entertainment
since the Chautauqua, we hope
all will come out and spend a
pleasant hour which will prove
profitable and instructive.
Admission 25cts. Children under
12 yrs. 15 cts.
