The Easter Oneninv at Messrs Rrsnt.

ley, Sessions Il Co S. store on Thursday
night, presented gay scene. Hundreds
of ladies, girls, boys and men were going
in and out, or promenading in the capa-
cious store, so brilliantly lighted The
goods were artistically arranged and were
displayed 70 good advantage. There were
many expressions of delight and surprise
by the inspectors of the beautiful goods
they saw. On the wall on the right hand
side as you enter were large letters, made
of japanese fans, Welcome, 1899" In
the rear was bower of richly draped laces,
while near by the Gem City Orchestra dis
coursed delightful music. 1t IS the most
elegantly furnished store in Georgia.
Messrs John Brantley and Walter Sessions
and their clerks, Messrs Will Springer and
George Sessions, were all attention and
courtesy to the callers. The opening was
the carrying out of an intelligent idea to
advertise the store, and we Judge from the
immense throng present, in the store andon
the sidewalk, that it was not only a success
in its object, but will prove splendid adj
vertisement'in drawing trade. 1t was an
introduction that the people will feel at
ease in the future to improve. The gen.
tlemanly proprietors deserve credit for the
energy and enterprise displayed through
out not only in the erection of such
magnificent building in our town, but the
fine goods on display and in the manage
ment of their business. May they have
many substantial returns ofthe same.
