SIX MEET DEATH INS.A.LWREGK Fast Passenger Trains Collide on Curve and Embankment Near Granite. N. C. RICHMOND. VA., Nov. 19.—Due to a head-on collision at Granite, N. C., 95 miles south of this city, at 4 o’clock this morning, of passenger trains 81, south bound, and 84, northbound, on the Sea board Air Line, six persons are known to be dead and a score injured.

Jacobs’ Pharmacy, 6-8 Marietta St. (Advt.) MAUDE ADAMS TO GIVE EXTRA MATINEE FRIDAY AT ATLANTA THEATER Owing to the unusual demand for seats to see Maude Adams in "Peter Pan,” the management of the Atlanta theater has succeeded in persuading Miss Adams to give an extra matinee Friday after noon. Seats for this extra performance will be placed on sale at 9 o’clock Wed nesday, and those desiring same should be in line at the hour of the opening. The engagement of Miss Adams will un questionably prove a record-breaker at the Atlanta theater. Her engagement begins Thursday night and will continue through Saturday night, with matinee Saturday, and with the extra performance Friday afternoon. The step was taken because of the fact that hundreds of ladies and children ex pressed disappointment over their failure to secure choicest seats for the Saturday matinee. Especially was this true with reference to the best seats in the bal cony. 15 hfle the sale has been unusually heavy, plenty of good seats remain at the Atlanta for every performance, and the addition of this extra matinee will enable' every one in Atlanta or vicinity to bee Miss Adams in this Barrie masterpiece. The seats will not be placed on sale for the special matinee until 9 o'clock Wednesday morning and no reservations will be made. PRISONER CHAINED TO TREE.

Its stocks are always interesting to those who have a den or an Oriental room in their home. Now that the holidays are approaching, its stocks take on new life, in that they bring so many odd art pieces that will make presents of best taste. Such are: The Damascus Brasses that look so old in their dull finish great standing lamps, table lamps, oddly-shaped jardinieres, quaint candle sticks. Richly carved Teakwood Tables and Tabourettes—you marvel at their wonderful carvings, the patience that wrought them. You know they were not made in our hurrying America. Rare pieces of Chinaware, ornamental urns and vases and pitchers of Blue Canton, of Royal Medallion, Imari, Blue Haw thorn and exquisite shell-like Japanese and Chinese Tea Sets. And here is a notable standing lamp for electricity. It has a black lacquered stand and a shade made of an old Japanese print—an original that was done back in the seventeenth cen tury. Then there are many little pieces of brass ware, table pieces, smoking sets, gongs and the like—things ideal for the Christ mas season. All very interesting and worthy of a visit. The Small Fur Hats Are Winning Favor “The most noticeable thing in early winter millinery,’’ writes Estelle Mershon, of 20 East 46th street, New York,“is the prom inence of fur.” Then the letter goes on to tell of the different kinds of fur and how they are used. But better than the telling of it will be your visit to the millinery department—where you will see the hats that this very smart little shop there in New York has sent us for the women of Atlanta. New fur hats are coming in daily. They are interesting be cause they are different from any Atlanta has yet seen—dif ferent in many, many ways—one time it is the shape of the hat, another time the unusual way in which the fur wraps a crown or edges a brim—or again it might be in the use of gold or sil ver with fur. And here is a hat, not of fur, but of black velvet, that points the way of the early spring fashions It is small, its brim turns back against a crown that drapes toward the front. It is trim med with a large Paradise feather that curls high over the crown toward the front—possibly you will say now r that it is extreme ---but when next February comes the style will not be so new\ ♦ Chamberlin=Johnson=Dußose Company At the Auto Show “Wear a Benjamin" Full Dress Suit Then your mind and body will •’A. be at perfect ease, and you can " Wiff/ /jpMn enjoy the show to the fullest. ffl| i" i|/ \ a “BENJAMIN” Dress \\V 1/ / y° u MORE than the vl / > 7 I V newest style and tine, all-wool /JMTyi nr j i • C-W \lt I material.
