C/B a la Spirite
CORSET
The new “corsetless” fig
ure can never be yours with
out a corset—without the
right corset.
That may sound paradoxi
cal. But it is true. Because
not one woman in a thousand
has a figure which, unsup
ported, displays grace or
smartness.
The right corset is one
which trains the figure gently
into the simple, natural,
youthful lines, which years
of compression in unnatural
corsets have completely elim
inated.
The C-B a la Spirite Corset
— always pre-eminent in
smartness — meets this new
demand of Fashion with the
skill of 40 years of expert cor
set-making. There is no type
of figure it will not train into
the new, smart, “uncorseted”
lines.
Over 240 different C-B
models, $1 to $3. See what
a transformation your own
C-B model will show you—
that model designed for your
very figure.
A visit to our corset de
partment to see the new C-B
models will give you some
important ideas on the new
corset smartness. Drop in
to-day.
THE STANDARD EV
ERYWHERE FOR THE
WOMAN OF FASHION.

Remains of Hugh Long Arrive From
New Mexico.
The body of Mr. Hugh Long, who was
accidentally killed near Roswell, N. M.,
on Wednesday of last week, reached
Newnan Tuesday afternoon o/er the
Central of Georgia railway, accompa
nied by Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Patterson,
with whom he had made his home in
New Mexico. It was taken first to the
residence of his grandfather, Rev. W.
J. Cotter, where a brief service was held.
The regular funeral service was at the
grave, conducted by Dr. J. S. Harda
way, after which the body of the
young man was laid to rest in Oak Hill
cemetery.
The following account of the tragic
death of Mr. Long iB from tho Roswell,
(N. M.) Morning News of Saturday
iast—
“Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Patterson will
leave this morning for Newnan, Ga., ac
companying the body of the late Hugh
Long to that place, where tho inter
ment will be made. The deceased has
several brothers and his father living
there.
“It will be remembered that Mr.
Long was accidentally shot by Frank
Patterson, age 14 years, last Wednes
day about 6 p. m., and died that night
about 4 a. m. The shooting was purely
accidental. They had planted some now
alfalfa, and Long told the lad to take
the gun and scare off the blackbirds.
The boy did so, and threw the gun over
hiB shoulder and started to walk off,
but when only thirty feet away stum
bled and the gun was accidentally diB
charged, the shot striking Long in the
stomach.
“Long came to Roswell four years
ago, and had been with the Pattersons
for two years, and had so endeared
himself to them that he was considered
one of the family. He was 29 years of
age.
“He was well-known in Roswell. To
know the chap was to like him, and
many a friend sympathizes with the
Pattersons in the lyifortunate event.

$100,000 Fire in LaGrange.
LaGrange, Ga., March 9.—The build
ing and contents of the new Callaway’s
Department Store were completely de
molished by fire this morning at <
o’clock. This was a magnificent struc
ture—a four-story reinforced concrete
building. It was the moBt up-to-date
department store in the South, and had
just received its full line of new spring
merchandise. The managers and stock
holders have decided to rebuild at once,
and to reopen in the old Callaway store
on the corner Court Square and Vernon
street. They will also occupy the two
stores on the opposite corner, formerly
the old postoffice building. Their
grocery department will be ready Satur
day morning for business, and they will
also occupy the Famous Dry Goods
Store, now located at the old Callaway
corner, in order to continue business
for the convenience of their customers.
The wires have been kept hot from
LaGrange to New York duplicating all
orders for spring. Their buyers left
for New York Monday night, where
they will purchase a magnificent line of
the newest creations and styles to be
had. Within ten days they will be
ready with the new goods, which will
all be placed in the old postoffice build
ing. This building will be reconstructed
into a modern department store. Car
penters began work this afternoon, and
will continue night and day until this
building is remodeled completely.
It will take about three months to re
build the Callaway’s Department Store,
which will really be an improvement on
the building which has been destroyed.
The Callaway’s store was known
thoughout the mercantile world as the
most up-to-date department store in
this conntry, for the size town it was
located in, and its loss to LaGrange,
even for the short time until the new
building is completed, will be great!
felt in this city. The managers of Cal
la way’s store are to be congratulated
upon the quick decision they have
made in the matter of reorganizing the
Callaway’s Department Store.
