an exhibition last week of vapor
stoves, at Mitcholl's store. It was
demonstrated to quite number of
interested people that these stoves
are safe, cleanly, free from odor,
and will do most excellent work
without heating a kitchen, and at a
trifling cost There has boon a pre-
judice against gasoline stoves on ac-
count of the supposed liability to ex-

to be unfounded, aud that they are
safe with any ordinary care. The
exhibition was entirely successful
showing that all the claims made
for this economicaland labor-saving
apparatus for cooking arc well
founded The stoves are worthy Il

The good ladies were out in full
force Saturday, and the largest crowd
ever seen on similar occasions witness
ed the millinery openings. The bust
ness houses of Mrs Moody Harden and
Miss Sallie Tillett, our local dealers,
had been beautifully decorated and
the large lines of handsome and tasty
hats ribbons etc, were arranged in an
artistic manner which was beautiful
indeed. All day long both stores were
crowded and many purchased their
new headwear for spring. We will
venture the assertion that no milli-
merry establishments outside the cities
can surpass those of Lancaster in
keeping up with the styles and giving
reasonable prices. Both of the Lam
caster dealers visit the eastern mar
kets every spring and every fall and
put in a week or SO ascertaining
the new ideas and fashions They Sc
lect their goo Is right at the wholesale
markets and, by doing SO, get better
bargains and can afford to sell cheaper
than those who buy from drummers.
Lancaster people are PROUD of their
millinery stores and stand by them
we'll.
The stock on display here this spring
are far more elaborate and varied than
ever before, and those ladies who could
not come in Saturday should lose no
time in seeing the many beautiful de-
signs before they are all picked over

Phone to Crab Orchard

DR.. Kinnaird, of this city, and Mr..

succeeded in making up the required
amount of stock and will next week
begin the erection of telephone line
from this place to Crab Orchard. The
line will have instruments at Sweeney
Morgan's, Preachersville, Mr.. Carson's
and probably other points along the
route. This line is one of the most
badly needed aud will prove not only
q great benefit to our town but will be
of inestimable value to our friends
along the route and at Crab Orchard.
We will venture the assertion that
Garrard now has the best telephone
system of any county in the state.
