A REALN OF-BIG VALUE GIVING AT M'LAIN'S
The Array of Spring Goods Shown by This Popular Dawson Firm
Is Attracting Wide Attention. Throngs of Visitors Crowd
Their Stores. Show Windows Cause Comment.
There is perhaps no more advant
ageous opportunity for the display of
artistic skill than the arrangement of
spring creations of dainty fabrics and
notions for the reviewal of the trading
public, and there is scarcely anything
more pleg.s'mg to the eye which loves
the beautiful than the loom’s spriog
timé fancies in all their light airiness
and harmonious colorings.
This statement is fully borne out by
the opening display at McLain Bros.
& Co’s., which occurred last week.
From bosh an artistic and practical
standpoint it was a success in every
sense of the vord. From the artistic
viewpoint it brought an expression of
delight and approbation from all who
viewed It. On the practical side it
was a season of busy activity with the
firm who inaugurated it, and an un
questionable proof that that esbablish-l
ment carrie; one of the most complete
lines of any dry goods enterprise in
this section.
Several:weeks ago the buyers for
McLain Bros. & Co. visited the east
ern markets. They went there with a
view to buying the most complete line
of spring goods which they had ever
carried; with determination to spare
peither time nor money in accomplish
ing their purpose. It is not surpris
ing, therefore, that when they tinished
their work a stock of goods had been
purchased which would not only rival
those carried in towns ot equal size,
but would compare favorably with
stocks of large city stores. The firm
adyertised its opening with the assur
ance that its display would score a suc
cess. And itdid.
THE WINDOW DISPLAY.
What used to be considered a matter
of rather minor importance has t.odayl
become a question of systematic study
and careful attention on the part of‘
thousands—it is that of show-window |
decoration. Mr. H. H. Perry, who‘i
has the arrangement’ of the display
windows in charge for McLain Bros. &j
Co., undertook the work of decorating
them for the spring opening with the
artistic ability which excellent taste
and long experience give; the admiring
glances which scores of people have
been giving to them are ‘ample evi
deunce tha: he did bis work well. The
display window on the left contains an.
array of spring fabries so artisticallv
arranged as to at once catch the eye
of the passerby, and, having attracted
sttention, to excite a desire to view
the many oeautiful patterns within the
store. The window on the right is‘i
tastefully decorated with men’s shoes
and furnishings. |
LOVELY LINE OF WASH FABRICS. 3
As a matter of course, the wash
goods line is one of the most important
coopsiderations for the merchant dur
ing the spring seagon. The fabrics of
this kind on display at Mcl.ain Bros.
& Co's. are among the best selected
and most complete assortments
in this section. All! the newest pat
terns and designs are there, embracing
Jawns, musiins, wash silks, piques,
etiminss, cmbroidered swisses, fou
lards, madras cloths, French ginghams,
ete.
WOOLEN GOODS.

READY MADE WAISTS AND SHIRTS.
The shirt waist has come to be an
essential to the woman’s wardrobe,
this being especially true during the
spring and summer mouths. McLain’s
display of shirt waists and ready made
shirts cannot be excelled, and they at:
tracted much attention during the
opening.
NOTIONS.
The firm’s assortment of notions
this season is too complete to be enter
ed iato in great detail.* An especially
peautiful line of dainty fans is being
shown by them. Thedisplay of fancy
parasols is the most complete ever
seen in Dawson, ranging in price from
two vo ten dollars, and cootaining
many lovely Parisian wodels. The
tancy chain neck belts, which will be |
quite popular this season, are being
shown in manv beautiful designs. The
line of laces displayed cannot be writ
ten of with justice. It is necessary to
see them ‘o fully appreciate them.
The antique, cluny and grape ‘effect
are exceedingly popular patterns.
The last fashion has decreed, shall. be
extensively used for both waist and
shirt trimming this season.
LADIES’ SHOES.
Much attention has been devoted to
the ladies’ shoe department, Van Dut
tenhofer’s line, synonym for shoe ex
cellence, having established a sure
trade for the firm. The soring styles
io oxfords shown by McLain evidence
quality and service in their every line.
| MEN'S FURNISHINGS.
. The stock of men’s furnishings that
jis being shown at McLain's is all

bracing all the latest blocks in felts,
straws and panamas.

COUPLE OF BELATED BALES,
‘An Occasional Bag of Cotton Is
Coming In.
As stated in the last issue of The
News every bag of cotton 1n Dawson was
sold and shipped last week, and for a
day or two there was not a single bale
in any of the warehouses of the city.
This condition did not last long,
however, as two belated bales have
since come in from the country.
The ‘‘oldest inhabitants” have
trouble in recalling a time before now
when there was no cotton in Dawson.
The high prices have brought it all
in from the farms and cleaned out the
warehouses as never before.

SOCIAL.,
The\Epworth i.eague Social at the
Methodist parsonage Tuesday eyening
was one of the most thorougbly enjoy
able occasions which has occurred in
Dawson in months. A musical guess
inz contes@a.nd games contributed to
the entertainment, and the large
crowd which was present found every
moment of the evening one of pleasure,
Miss Nannette Pace entertained a
number of her friends recently at a
flinch party at the home of her sister,
Mrs. R. E. Bell. The part of hostess
was carried out in a very charming
manner, as evidenced by the great
enjoyment of all those present.
The Joy of Working,
Think not, Sir Man-of-Leisure, as
you peep lazily through 'your heavily
curtained window at the hurrying ear
ly morning crowd ou the way to its
daily toil that you have the best of it.
Do not lay the flattering uneccion to
your soul that yours is the happier
lot.
. Yonder youth with swinging step,
with fists dug deep into the pockets of
his coat and a lunch wrapped ina pa
per tucked under his arm, tastes a
finer, sweeter joy than all your luxury
can bring. _
_His is the pleasure of incentive—the
glory of work. For there is a zest to
it all. The quick spring from bed as
day begins to dawn, the hastily swal
lowed breakfast, then out. into the
wine-like air of early morning to
work—vigorous work of brain or
brawn, whether it be the pegging
away at a desk or the eternal grind of
clanking machinery.
It is occupation—accomplishment!
Do not pity these work-a-day folk.
Save your aympathy for the hapless
and hopeless idle fellows—the unfortu
nates or unwillings—alike commisera
ble.
Joy goes with the working masses.
There is joy in the noonday luncheon,
whether in gilded cafe or a cold snack
hastily swallowed ‘‘before the whistle
biows.”
The evening meal is a feast to the
weary man, and his well-earned rest is
the greatesc joy of all.
Handsome Easter Millinery Display.

Rey. Walter Mabry Dead,
Rev. Walter Mabry, a well known
Baptist minister of this section, died
in Sylvester a few days ago. He had
relatives and friends in Terrell county
who are grieved by his death.
A disordered stomach may cause no
end of trouble. When the stomach
fails to perform its functions the
i»bowele become deranged, the liver and
kidneys congested, causing numerous
‘diseases, the most fatal of which are
painless and therefore the more to be
‘dreaded. The important thing is to
[rest,ore the stomach and liver to a
‘ healthy coundition, and for this purpose
no beter preparation can be used than
