Gorgeous Display of High-Class
MILLINERY
Every lady is asking, “What are the be^t styles for fall?” The corredt answer is at Boone-Strip
ling Co.’s. Come and see what the fashion-makers of the world have stamped with their approval.
See the Paris models and the American adaptation of Paris designs. This ^tore is free to choose
wherever good styles originate;—it is not limited to the productions of any one manufacturer, but
picks the be^t creations of many makers. The creations of our own work-rooms possess the daring
but graceful lines, and that exclusive air and charm, that mark the handiwork of the true artist. At
the same time, through extremely fortunate buying, we are offering duplicates ot the be^t imported
patterns at prices that place them easily within reach of even the mofft economical purchaser.
Never before have our patrons had the opportu
nity of seeing as grand a' display of millinery as now.
The styles are unusually beautiful—a shape to suit
every face. Colors? Everything imaginable—royal,
navy, Copenhagen, tan, brown, seal, smoke, taupe,
gun metal, reseda, leaf green, raisin, catawba, bronze,
wistaria, etc.
Shapes? Turbans, always strong at the start of
the autumn season, are particularly favored this year.
It will not surprise you to know that the shapes are
huge, large-headed affairs; crowns large and very full,
and brims bend up, or not at all.
You and your Mends cor
dially mwited to attend the
opening display Sept• 29-30
This department is under the management of
Miss Minnie Forrester, whose natural taste and long
experience in the millinery business hagivm i 1 jr a
knowledge of the work that has placed her in the
front rank of her chosen field. A creator of designs
herself, she is amply able to criticize the present
styles, telling each individual customer just the shape,
size and style hat that can be worn most becomingly.
She extends to you a cordial invitation to call often
and inspect the new designs, which are being brought
out almost daily and put on display for the benefit
of our customers.

The barbecue at Raymond on Satur
day afternoon last, given by the stock
holders of the hank of Raymond, was
a very enjoyable affair. Most of the
eighty odd stockholders of the bank
were present, and after the barbecue a
meeting was held for the purpose of
closing up the subscriptions and issuing
certificates to the shareholders. At
this meeting Mr. A. H. Young was
elected vice-president, the president
(Hon. S. T. Blalock) and the cashier
(Mr. E. J. Bailey) having been chosen
at a previous meeting The bank build
ing—a neat, substantial brick structure
—is nearly finished, and the bank ex
pects to be ready for business about
Oct. 1.
At a special session of the Quarterly
conference of the hirst Methodist
church, held Mon lav evening, steps
were taken to secure a house of wor
ship which, for suitable seating capac
ity and beauty of appointment, will
realize the brightest hopes of the pas
tor and congregation, and be a credit
to the citv. Detailed plans and speci
fications were adopted, and a commit
tee consisting of B T. Thompson, I. P.
Bradley, D. T. Mariget, W. ,T. Mur-
phey, J. T. Williams, L. H. Hill, W.
S. Askew and the pastor, was appoint
ed to solicit at once sufficient subscrip
tions to secure the building. The com-
mitee is empowered to determine the
manner and terms of the subscription,
and as soon as possible another special
session of the quarterly conference will
be called, when a building committee
will be appointed and the work pro
ceeded with. The unanimity and en
thusiasm with which tt.i3vnt.er prise be
gins is most gratifying, and the church
is to be congratulated upon its action.
Newnan Methodists are deeply
grieved over the death of Bishop Seth
Ward, which occurred a few days ago
in far-off Japan, whither he had gone
on an official visit. Bishop Ward
preached at the First Methodist church
in this city a year or so ago, and all
who heard him were impressed by his
eloquent and forceful discourse. Five
bishops of the M. E. Church, South,
have died since the last General Con
ference— Bishop Duncan, Bishop Smith,
Bishop Galloway, Bishop Tigert and
Bishop Ward. At the next General
Conference, which meets at Asheville,
N. C., in May. 1910, it is thought that
eight new bishops will be elected, in
asmuch as Bishop Wilson, Bishop IIoss
and Bishop Key are all in feeble health
and may pass away at any time. As
twelve active bishops are needed to
properly administer the affairs of the
church, it is more than likely that the
number to be chosen next May will be
eight instead of six. owing to the in
firmity of the three senior bishops now
living, but. inactive.
Important.
The women and young women of the
Western Baptist Association are re
quested to attend the meetings of the
Woman’s Missionary Unionof the West
ern Baptist Association which will he
held in the school building near Elim
on Oct. 14 and 15. Meeting will be
opened promptly at 9:30 the morning of
the 14th. W. M. S., Y. W. A., Sun
beam and R. A. leaders are requested
to bring in full reports of work done.
Our State president, Mrs. E. G. Wil
lingham, will be with us. This is a
privilege, as the State work in the fall
is so heavy it sdmits of but few associ-
ational visits. The wisdom of appoint
ing her president of our State work
will be evident to all who meet her.
Dr. Bennett has promised to attend
and will probably address our W. M. U.
the morning of the 14th.
Programme of W. M. U. will appear
in first October issue of this paper.

Death Calls Bishop Ward.
Tokio, Sept. 20.— Bishop Seth Ward,
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, died this afternoon. The bishop
arrived in Koke last month on his reg-
ular tour of inspection of the Metho
dist missions of Japan, and he was ta
ken ill shortly after his arrival. Last
week he was reported as gradually
sinking, and the fatal termination of
his illness was not unexpected.
Bishop Ward, who came from Hous
ton, Texas, sailed from San Francisco
late in July to make his annual inspec
tion of the church’s foreign missionary
work. While he was not suffering from
any chronic complaint, it was known
that he was in poor health, and his
friends attempted to dissuade him from
the trip. The bishop was 51 years of
age. He served as assistant missionary
secretary of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, from 1902 to 1900, and
was elected bishop in the latter year.
