THE NOVENT PETTICOAT
In practically all gswns this season, the waist line is long, slender and as
unbroken by sharp trimming effects as possible. The fit is snug over the
hips—the approved effect—and the folds fall generous and undulating about
the feet.
Ordinary petticoats, bulging and bulky, are sure to mar the attractiveness
of prevailing styles. The “Novent” alone has the right contour. Without
gathers, vent, buttons or hooks and eyes.
Glove-fitting jersey top. Elastic waistband. Produces new bell-shaped
figure. Encircled at the base by a deep flaring flounce, in a profusion of
new styles.
Hindered and hampered by ordinary petticoats—seamed, gored and gath
ered no woman can walk with the easy, buoyant, rhythmic movement im
parted by the “Novent.” This is the petticoat that molds hips and waists
into the slender proportions and the graceful curves demanded by reigning
modes. Many of New York s fashionable dressmakers will fit over no
other petticoat. Glove-fitting jersey top. Elastic waistband. Produces
new bell-shaped figure. •
With Lustrous Satine Flounce 1.50, 2.00 and 2.50.

FORCE ON SCENE
An excited negro, firing several shots
In rapid succession from 44-callber
revolver Wednesday morning shortly
after midnight, less than a block from
the police station, created a lively
scene, resulting In an entire block be
ing surrounded by two whole watches
of the police force, the painful Injur
ing of Police Captain Mayo, and the
narrow escape of Bicycle Policemen
Pharr and Wylie from being hit by
stray bullets at a point some distance
away.
The negro, Fletcher Hardy, who re
sides In an alley off Butler street, was
finally captured and taken to the po
lice station under the Influence, It Is
believed, of cocaine. He explained his
conduct by Baying he was shooting to
frighten a mysterious Individual who
had been coming to his house for a
week past and annoying him.
At the time of the shooting the
morning watch was leaving the police
station to go on duty and the evening
watch was coming off of duty. All of
the policemen, together with the two
captains, Jett and Mayo, rushed to
ward the scene of the shooting and
quickly surrounded the block bounded
by Decatur, Butler and Gilmer streets
and Piedmont avenue.
In rushing through a dark alleyway,
Captain Mayo collided with some hid
den obstacle, painfully bruising and
lacerating his leg.
A close search was made of the block
and Hardy was found In his yard, with
his big pistol In his hand, all of the
chambers empty. He offered no resist,
ance when arrested. On arraignment
before "Recorder Broyles Wednesday
morning he was fined 125.75 or thirty
days.

JUDGE NOTTINGHAM

Terror of Evil-Doers Relin

in Macon, Qa.
fctyeclnl to The Georgian.
Macon, Ga., Oct. 24.—For a while, at
least, will old police court offenders
and chutn-gung habitues breathe sighs
of relief. Judge Nottingham, the in
ventor of heavy lines and tt\e terror of
evil-doers, has resigned. He tendered
his resignation last night to the coun
cil, It was accepted ond Guerry Cnba-
nlss, his law partner, was elected to
till the vncancy.
Judge Nottingham succeeded Judge
Matt R. Freeman ns recorder nearly
three yearn ago, and although a stren
uous fight wns made against his elec
tion ufter the lost municipal primary
he was re-elected for another term of
two years. Almost Immediately he
struck terror to the hearts of police
court visitors by his heavy fines and
the result was that ninny ceased their
visits there. Rome of his heavy sen
tences caused the famous habeas corpus
cases before Judge Speer. Old offend
ers accustomed to puying $2.50 for a
plain drunk found the price raised ac
cording to the frequency of the visits
and $40 or 30 days for a drunk has
been known.
The new recorder Is an attorney, the
partner of Judge Nottingham, and came
to Macon about two years ago from
Savannah.
