correspondence. AS this would be
rather an unusual mode of procedure
several influential members, both
Republicans and Democrats, suggest.

CoLoREp EMPLoYEEs.-A report has
been circulated in this city lately to the
effect that it is the purpose of the South
ern Railway Company to substitute
colored men for the white fremen now
employed on the Virginia Midland d.
vision of that system. For the past day
or two it has also been rumored that
orders had been issued to employ no
more white men as firemen nor as en-
CINE cleaners in the round house. That
it is the purpose of the company to en-
ploy some colored men is believed, aud
though the officials say the white men
now employed in such vacations will
not be discharged to make room for col
ored men, they do admit that colored
men will be utilized as stokers and en-
CINE wipers in the future.

eral Others have occurred lately-abous
two squares beyond the city limits and
near the Hooff7s run bridge. 1t is sup
posed one Of the cars near the engine
jumped the track, though some think
there is defect in the track at that
spot, and that the rails have tendency
to spread. People living in the neigh
borhood complain of the fact that the
trains rush through the streets at night
at too high rate ofspeed, and they be-
lieve the elongated freight trains in
winding rapidly around the curve from
Fayette street to Payne cause the acct
dents which have become so frequent
of late.

DRY GOODS.
A WORD ABOUT LADIES
SILK
Shirt v ais IS.

A fact that you are perhaps
not aware of. Do you know
that we are manufacturers Of
these goods ? True it is that
we have one of the largest
shirt waist factories in this
country. Our plant is in Phil
adelphia. We employ a large
force of hands and supply the
representative houses of the
country with our product.
Therefore does it not appear
reasonable that our prices must
be right and below competi-
ton? You do not pay the
middleman's profit. You are
buying direct from the manu-
facturer and paying only a
small advance above first cost.
Our goods are all made over
LIVING MODELS by expert hands
and a fit is guaranteed. The
workmanship is unexcelled. In
consequence of these facts we
are warranted in asserting that
we can sell you a waist COM
plete at the price you pay for
the material alone. Don't be-
lieve us ; come in and convince
yourselves.
The leader is the one at
$500. 1t would not be high at
Sc in fact that is the regular
price. Made out of changea-
bic Tafete Silk. 1t contains S
yards. The retail price of the
silk is 75c per yard. An inn
mense variety of others Of
equal good values. We wont
attempt to describe them it
would not do them justice; you
would not understand; you
must see them for yourselves.
We have plenty of the new
very popular Linen Chime
settes so extensively worn.
All styles, all grades, all
prices. Your attention is in
vited.
