the south, has been recently redecorated,
the drawing rooms, library and the beauti-
full ball room beyond being generally beau
titled by the incandescent lights, which
stud the ceiling, and which show to great
advantage the rich coloring of the frescoes.
The club house was superbly decorated with
palms and flowers and the scene during
the hours of the reception was one of pic
turesque beauty.
The cotilion was danced later In the even

A MODEL ESTABLISHMENT
The Warner Smiley Company Make
Many Improvements

Probably the most thoroughly up-to-date
and modern establishment of its kind in the
south. and certainly one that is not sur
passed by firms of it's kind in any section.
is that of the Warner-Smiley company,
undertakers, livery and sale stables, S12 N.
Twentieth street.
This firm has recently spent a large sum
of money in the way of improvements. The
workman's skill in the various branches be-
ing brought into requisition to obtain the
very best results. Luxurious parlors, beau
tifully filled up, costly rugs, rich and tasty
wall paper, expensive carpets covering the
foors rooms well lighted and ventilated;
the trimming room adjoining thoroughly
renovated and refitted with twelve addition
al casket cabinets of mahogony wood ward
robes of costly burial robes, beautiful dis
play windows, everything, stock and fix
lures going to make this firm easily the
leaders in their line of business. The War
ner-Smiley company have separate
morgue for white and colored people: a
hearse for white people and one for color
ed, besides a beautiful small white hearse
for children This firm also run free am
bulance daily, thereby constituting them
selves public benefactors.
The trimming room of this concern is a
model in the way of convenience and lux
linoleum. In conjunction with their under
taking establishment. the Warner-Smiley
company maintain. and carry on for their
own and the public use, a well equipped
livery and sale stable; every vehicle need
ed in their business being represented here
by a model of its kind. Besides the new
rubbertired carriages, hearses, dead wag-
ons and ambulances which they already
possess the Warner-Sn1iley company are
having the vehicles in their possession
which are not up-to-date speedily made so,
an elegant new ambulance also being or
dered
On the first of November Mr.. E. T. Shaw,
of ST. Louis, became a member of the firm,
the personnel of which now is Granderson
D. Smiley, w. NJ. Newton and e. T. Shaw.
The latter is a man eminently suited to
this business, being a practical undertaken
and embamer of years. experience, for
the last seven years representing the st.
Louis Coffin company, that concern re-
luctantly giving him up. Early in the new
year his family will come to Birmingham.
Mr.. Shaw, as well as his wife, being inter-
ested in church work and kindergartens,
a hearty welcome will be extended to them.
Mr.. Newton, is one of the most affalble OF
men, and looks after the books and attends
to the finances of the concern; while the
senior partner, Mr.. Smiley, supervises the
livery part of the business mot the least
importantly and has his hands full.
Perhaps the best known of any man in
this well known house is Lige 10y, one OF
the best embalmers in America, with
reputation second to none, and he Is as
sisted in his work by A. ". Ashmore, also
an artist in his line. When all has been
said the Warner-Smiley company is certain
ly one that Birmingham should feel
pride In.
