Had A Splendid Array
If millinery has any charms—and
lives there a man who would dare say
otherwise, much less women then the
splendid aggregation of hats, flowers
and plumes at Misses Keil and

one of the most charming affairs. In
beautiful array and gorgeous porpor-

Easter hats and hits of all kind—greet
ed the visitors on every side and the
most fastiduous could be suited.
The excellent start they have made
will continue through the Easter season
and on into summer as for that and they
cordially invite everybody to visit and
inspect their sti-ck.

local mention. The Irwinton Bulletin
had a nice notice last week and the
Eatonton News said:
Baldwin county is coming to the
front in an agricultural way and the
Milledgeville News of last week carries
announcement of a contest which that
paper proposes to push to the iimit
this year. Prize aggregating several
hundred dollars will bo awarded and
farmers in this county are olegible.
It is proposed to hold a corn show at
Milledgeville next fall and the grow
ers of the finest ears of corn will re
ceive splendid v izns.
The first prize for a dozen ears will
be about $20 and the others will rang"
downward in proportion. In addition
to this a first prize of ons acre will Im
probably $23 with a down war J scale
for second and third prizes.
It would be exceptionally gratifying
to see a number of farmers from this
county enter the contest and go dawn
to the old capita! and compete for hon
ors from an agricultural standpoint.
Mr. J. C. McAuliffe, at Milledgeville,
will furnish any information. There
will be no charge for admissian to the
show and no C33t for entrance to the
contest.
The Eatonton Messenger said:
An unusual opportunity, one that it
costs nothing to enter, is offered by a t
contest inaugurated and pushed by the
Milledgeville News, in which several
hundred dollars will be given the grow
ers of the best corn in this section of
the state. There are no restrictions on
the contest and any farmer of this
county as well as in Baldwin can com
pete.
The first prize for a dozen ears will
be $20 and a downward range for others
prizes in thiB class. The best acre wil.
bring $25 with a corresponding prize
for others ears. Other classes will also
be made.
There is no reason why farmers of
this county should not enter, for the
prizes are worth having and at the
same time they will reflect credit on
the agricultural resources of the coun
ty-
Mr. J. C. McAuliffe at Milledgeville,
will supply anv information desired
and there will be no cost or entrance,
or charge of admission to the show of I
