A Vision of loneliness Difficult O
Description.

W. r. Badgett Mercantile Cos.
millinery and dry goods opening last
Friday was a very delightful spring
function. The decorations consisted
Of American beauty roses and pink
carnations, besides large number Of
beautiful potted flowers, the perfume
from which was as sweet as the fresh
brcezes of 4 spring morning. The
windows were certainly a work Of art,
in which many of the latest novelties
were exhibited. One consisted Of a
back ground Of lovely satin ribbon
forming an arch, twined with beauli-
ful red roses, artstically arranged.
Col. Wm. Little. who has just return
ed from Fort Worth, says he observed
4 window in that city upon which a
great deal OF lime and expense had
been bestowed, but that while very
elaborate, it did not compare with
this one in beauty and taste. In the
east one of Mr.. Badgett's windows
was a handsome display Of silks, fans
and all the latest effects in millinery.
The satin braids double-faced in the
new Antoinette red, the brilliant cy-
ranO purple maize. heliotrope and
white. were beautiful beyond descrip-
tion. Miss Selma Shrielf presided
over the millinery department, assist
ed 10y Miss Emma Ma>tcrson and Mrs.
Cora Barrett, and all deserve much
praise for the success Of the evening.
The music 10y the Crockett orchestra
was enjoyed 10y al. bach visitor was
presented by Miss Fan Byrd, wh5
with several other ladies kindly as
sisted, with a dainty little flower as a
souvenir. The evening was thor
oushly enjoyed by everyone and was
as fully successful as enjoyable and
Mr.. Badgett may well feel proud of
his 1879 spring opening.

THE JUMBO OPENING.
A Night With Handsome Flowers and
Beaming Faces.

The opening at the Jumbo store
last Wednesday was a successful affair
and was 10y far the prcttiest opening
yet given in the city. The store was
elaborately decorated with spring
roses and flowers OF every description,
arti>tically arranged. The front part
of the store deserves special mention
for il was a bower of greens, combined
with delicate punches of lilacs and
vioietS, which gave every appearance
of spring. An arch studded with
vivid scarlet roses stood near the CEN
ter, while here and there were other
handsome floral decorations in apprO-
pirate places. Lovely spring hats
were there in endless variety, suit
able to every age, especially the little
folks, who stood before convenient
mirrors with the cXactiug mother, "A
skillful c0un0iSSeur, near by, trying
on hats until they found the one he
coming article. The music by the
regina corona was thoroughly good.
Miss Haywood deserves much credit
for her beautiful selection Of milli-
merry this season. This, the initial
opening of the season, was altogether
a very pretty affair, and all who were
there appreciated the efforts Of the
Jumbo Store IN their behalf

DEATH HAS CLAIrIED HIM.
Henry c. 1cGIassOn Surrenders TO
the Great COnquerOr.

While not unexpected, the unwel-
come news was received Saturday
that Henry c. McGlasson, formerly Of
the Batcliff store in this city. died
Friday at Paint Rock. Tex. OF con-
sumption. He was buried Sunday ut
sherman.
Mrs. McGlasson was in Vinita Tues
day and hence il will be seen had
about time TO reach home. While
she had little hope of her husband
living any great length of time, il was
hardly expected the end was so near
at hand. Mr.. McGlasSon was regard
ed in this city not only as very
pleasant gentleman, but as without a
peer as a dry goods man. His removal
to southern Texas, where with a
brother he engaged extensively in the
cattle business, was IN search of
health, and for a time he showed
marked improvement. The dcceas-
eds popularity and that Of the family

the Utah battery, was found in an un-
conscious condition at Grant avenue and

The other party to the marriage con
tract found in his pocket was Alma E.

THEY HAVE
NO HAY LEFT
The Supply of the Stockmen Only Last
ed Until the Extreme Cold Snap
Came to an End. s

LONG CREEK, Feb. .20.-Stockmen gen.
orally throughout Grant county are con-
graduating themselves on their escape
from the hard winter with Lut little loss
of stock.
They are of the opinion that no more
cold weather will be experienced, and,
while their hay is practically all gone,
they are jubilant.
During the past few days stockmen
from nearly every section of the country
have taken advantage of the breakup
that is now on and have visited Long
Creek, their supply point. Among them
were owners of large cattle bands, who
have determined to profit by the exper-
fence the past long winter has oforded
them, and already several have pur-
chased ranches, and in some instances
lieu lands, for the purpose of raising
a little more hay in the future than in
the past.
