 THE noNNET DRY GOODS co.
 This immense dry goods store was crowded with people from an early hour, who had gathered there to view the magnificent stock and rare display made today, the occasion be- ing the annual spring opening of the house.
 Rarely have our people been af- forded an opportunity 10 view prettier scene. The stock carried is q large and magnificent one, and the display is one which does the house credit. The millinery depart ment attracted the greatest atten- Dion, and it certainly deserved the praise lavished on it. This branch of the great house is in charge of Miss Lillian Brown, who is assisted by four accomplished miliiners. The light of day was excluded from the millinery department and it was Illuminated by electricity. which gave an additional charm to the scene and brought out the yari- ous eolors in all their beauty. The display this season eclipses all pre- vious efforts, and does our city and this firm great credit.
