Mr. George Robinson, the buyer for
the McCreary store, is now in the New
York market with his eyes wide open,
looking out for the latest weaves
and make - up for the Augusta
trade. Augusta has always borne the
reputation of having the best dressed
men in the country, and it is to supply
this demand that Mr. Robinson goes
north each season to carefully inspect
the market and make his purchases.
Correct Dress for Men,
During what is known as the Golden
Age of letters, when Dickens, Thack
er.v and the. standard poets of English
literature were in life, the men of that
time esteemed their tailor of more im
portance than their banker, because,
if they were not well dressed they
failed to make a good impression Upon
their banker, as well as every one else
with whom they had business deal
ings.
In other words, first impressions are
the strongest, and if a man was not
careful in his dress and did not look
prosperous, be was hot apt to lie pros
perous, and unless he had some other

powerful reason to recommend him,
his proposition would be treated cold
ly.
It might he well then for young
men who wish to be dieased correctly.-
to get the habit of going to McCreary’s
for clothes. The older generation are
supposed to have it r.lready and it is
just as well that young America
should walk in their footsteps and fol
low the beaten path that has been
laid out for their guidance.

The Lesson of the Headlight Law
The supreme court this week decided
that the Georgia law requiring railroad
companies to provide electric headlights
on all locomotives is a good law and
justified by the conditions. The decis

upholds the decision of the Georgia
court of appeals oh that subject.
We mention this as an incident of the
perpetual and impressioble conflict be
