COnvicts Made the Dirt Fly at the Courthouse

The first real blow toward the
achievement of new courthouse for
Glynn county was struck yesterday
when forty cOnvicts were marched In
from the camps, under Superintendent
Lyles and the guards, and set to work
excavating for the foundations tor the
new structure.
After June the city ordinances pro-
hibit the turning up Of the soil, as a
sanitary precaution. The hurry to
make the necessary courthouse exca-
vatiOns is due to this prohibition.
The sturdy negroes of ''the gang
worked very briskly all day, and by
the time they suspended yesterday af-
ternoon had the work over half COM
pleted. A temporary fence has been
erected around the site.

and the true cause overlooked.
This is because a weak digestion
produces symptoms resembling nearly

organ in the body; poor digestion
causes heart trouble, kidney troubles,
lung weakness and especially nervous
break down or nervous prostration,

In spite of comment on it's incon-

vet are mixed up in the most heteroge-
neOus fashion.
Among the elegant novelties are Elton
jackets of fur. One of the most stylish
of these is made of Persian lamb. 1t has
sleeves and faring collar.
Short jackets, with cutaway fronts,
are popular and because of the open
space from collar to waist line, fashion
is demanding an enormous quantity Of
lace in jabots, cascades and loopiDgs.
The variety in vests is something
amazing. Every waist with an open
front seems to have one of these addi-
lions in some unusual style. Thick puffs
of lace, with straps either Of velvet,
silk, embroidery or even leather, are
seen.
A stylish dress is of black satin. The
skirt is cut plainly and has narrow
quilting OF silk just under the edge. The
waist has perfectly plain front of solid
embroidery. The sides and back are
close fitting. There are fitted sleeves,
with cape ruffle lined with silk like
that at the edge of the skirt.
A cloth costume has tailor made
skirt and waist of velvet the color of
the cloth. The wide folded belt and
Elton jacket are of cloth, with fitted
sleeves, over which fall long, Topped
puffs which cover the sleeves from the
shoulders to elbows. The close velvet
collar has an edging of white satin.
A charming dress for girl is made
of black velvet. The skirt is plain. The
waist has bolero fronts over silk vest.
The collar is high and slightly rolled
out from the throat. The sleeves have
large puffs at the shoulders. A belt of
embroidery crosses the front from the
edges of the cutaway jacket. New York
