and that of her trimmer, Miss Emma
Sampler, in artistic arrangement and
elegant display of hats ana millinery

Crowds of admirers visited the store
from day to day and viewed with salts

Mr.. George B. Nigh showed us limb
of an Elberta peachtree six years old
which began to put out buds, but the
freeze had so injured it that the tree
didn't have vitality enough to force
the sap through the half dead branches
and resusticate it,. lie is of the opin-
zion that most of the Elberta trees will
die in the orchards in this section. He
thinks. when hot weather comes and
there should be drouth, the limbs will
decay, but the roots of the Seeding
will make new shoots below where the
Elbertas were budded, and in place of
Elberta trees they will be the original
growth before they were budded to.
This looks bad for the Elbertas,
The throngs of ladies who visited
Misses Northcutt & Jordan's spring
| millinery opening on Thursday and Fri
day OF. last week, were profuse in ex-
clamations of admiration on seeing the
beautiful display of stylish hats so
handsomely arranged for inspection.
The entire interior of the store showed
, excellent taste and good judgment in
decoration. The show case and show
window caught the eyes of all. "Beau-
tiful, beautiful 70 was to be heard onsall

has shown superior skill as an artist in
the trimming of hats, and all the mil
linery goods selected by her are VIM
ming praise from old and new custom
ers. The splendid and elegant display

ciated.
