Brunswick's Council to Meet for the
Purpose Tonight.

Brunswick Ga. May 1.-THE City Coun-
ell will hold a special session tomorrow
night, at which it is thought and hoped
mat the early closing of the saloons will

was presented to Council a stubborn fight
has been waged by both sides each side
claiming to have won the fight at each
meeting. An ordinance was passed near

close, bu7 at each meeting of Council
since that time the matter has been re-
opened, and is now very much unsettled.

work carelessly threw the dirt aside in
such a manner that the spring, a we'll

City Of the Southwest, Visit Us
This car going such a long dis
tauce, and through a country conI
tiguous to the Indian Territory
there is special reason 10 believe
that these banners and this mode
Of advertisement Will rebound TO
the interest Of this city.
On account Of the absence Of a
number Of musicians from town an
orchestra could not be obtained for
the occasion.
The first speech on the program
was one delivered by James 7.
Coleman, on The Lost Cause.
1t was for the occasion a weighty
and appropriate theme and was de
liyered by the gentleman very de
liberately.
The next number on the program
was a speech by F Finis Fox, sub
ject, John II Morgan" Mr
Fox's delineation Of this southern
hero was couched in beautiful Ian
guage and was received with ap
probation aud interest.
Then followed Col. Sidney
Suegs, Of whom Judge Furman in
| introducing him to the assembled
hundreds, among other things very
aptly said, This Is Sidney Suggs,
big bodied, big hearted, with pa.
triotism to burD, who has a love
for Ardmore that can never be
questioned" ." The burden OF the
colonels speech was the Heroes
OF the Confederacy," and be threw
his whole soul into it and made
the welkin ring, portraying in an
impressive manner the various
heroes of the South.
Next in order was Sylvester Mul-
len, who delivered an grafton To
the Confederates," wishing them
God-speed. AS usual, it was
fowery, touched with pathos, sug-
gestions Of a heroic past and was
replete with beautiful and effective
historical and NEUROLOGICAL al
lusions.
Judge Henry NJ. Furman, on the
default of Captain Gait, was the
representative of the Confederate
Veterans, and delivered, in re-
sponse to Mr.. Mullen speech. a
beautiful tribute and ably main
tanned his long acquired reputation
as a public speaker.
y. X. Tisdal, upon behalf of
the Sons of the Confederacy, and
Mrs. 7, Y McuHsn, upon behalf
Of the Dauglfs+s of the Confed-
eracy, responded to Mr.. Mullen s
speech in a worthy and pleasing
manner. TA~s were followed by
Mrs Nixon, ~ dIarper of Lone
Grove, and Messrs. Mathers and
Franklin, who entertained the
crowd, that was now growing inn
patient because Of the non-arrival
of the train.
On the whole, it was by far the
greatest send.off that any party
has ever received at the hands of
the city, and was appreciated by
all present,

The New Flat Collars.

The fashionable French dressmaker
is trying to force the fiat collar, rea
sonably arguing that it is the proper
companion of the 1860 sleeve. An ex-
tremely ingratiating model of the new
est Partisan neck decoration is shown
in stitched taffeta over which fiat
circlet of ribbon threaded lace is laid.
For such a collar many looped knot
Of ribbons or quaint cameo brooch
is the proper finish.
Quite the nearest approach to the
fiat collar we have reached on this
side is a graceful rolling lace neck
band, which does not rise very high
under ears and chin, and is shaped in
front in two long points finished with
tassels of white silk floss falling from
little balls Of gilt. This and the afore-
mentioned type of collar are destined
to play prominent part in the COM
pletion of the foulards and sweet sum-
in the show windows.
Our American spring and summer
and the pretty round throats of our
women are persuasive agents in the
popularization of the low and easy
neck finish. For the present, however,
high and ornamental stocks and scarfs
have the field to themselves. Only
the extremely fashionable women who
haunt their new plumage well in ad-
vance of every season are swathing
their throats in stitched chokers of
white satin with wing backs of con-
trasting shade Of panne. All the mar
row string ties of satin clasping the
base of the choker in front display
jrweled ferrets on their ends. Such a
modish little stock in white, mouse
gray, gilt and sapphire blue is illus
trated in the group along with a pow
erful rival in black and peach pink
satin. The black satin top shows a
delicate vermiceuh pattern of gold
thread and the lower tightly drawn
pink satin half is drawn about the
stock twice, fastened with smart little
gilt pins in front, and, after tying
in a four-in-hand bow, let's fall two
broad ends, fringed and embroidered in

Things women should Know.

and sanitary requirements, as she could

practical women have taken a stand
against dark houses is evidenced by
the better provisions for good lighting
that may be noted in a large number
