Though Probably Not Up TO the Mil
liners Idea.
An incident illustrative of whimsi-
cal femininity occurred in Americas
during the siege of the millinery stores
the past week, when the calico gender
turned out en- mass to inspect the
late spring creations and criticize each
other.
One discriminating dame in particu-
lar just could not be suited.
She fitted from store to store and
tried on the latest things in head top
pings, only to drop each bonnet. Not
single hat suited her at all.
At one of the stores $50 pound old
fairy, weary with the day s excitement,
went to roost in chair without OBJ
serving that upon it lay handsome
pile of head harness which Mrs. Smith
had ordered, but which she had since
rejected.
Ia half hour the human compress
woke up aud waddled home,
It was then that the other woman
spied the dismantIed bonnet. With a
cry of Joy she seized it, tried it on, as
sumed 211 attitudes before the mirror,
and with the statement that this was
''just what she wanted" sailed home in
dream.
There are various ways of changing
the styles in spring headgear

IS GOING TO
Be MADE IN COURT.
For Estate of Late Ebert
Head.
THE LITlcANTs HAVE ARRIVED.
And First Hearing viii Be Had To-
morrow i'm Effort to Have Set Aside
the viii of the Deceased Wherein
He Disposes Of His Estate.

The first gun will be fred tomorrow
in what promises to be q lively legal
fight for an estate, the value of which is
variously estimated from $40, 900 to
$40, ZOO and in which all the parties at
interest are colored people, heirs claim
ant to the property of Ebert Head.
The first skirmish will take place now
in the court of ordinary.
This will be an attempt to set aside
the will of the deceased made many
years ago and in which he bequeathed
his entire estate to Catherine Head, a
neice of the testator' by marriage.
AS is we'll known here, Catherine
Head afterwards married Joseph Dis
nuke, the well known colored lawyer
here who, at the death of his wife, in
herited the valuable Head estate, con-
sisting OF nearly hundred houses and
lots, Dismuke has since been in
peaceful possession of the property.
Quite recently though the unexpect-
ed heir showed up in the person OF
Evelyn Broadbury, of Troy, Ala.
The woman asserts positively that
she is the own neice of Head, his sis
ter's child, and that at the time of the
making of his will bequeathing his es
tate to Catherine Head he evidently
thought her dead. She asserts that
she is the rightfuI heir to the estate
and will make a fight to secure it.
The case promiess to be stubbornly
fought to finish, as good lawyers are
employed on either side.

MORE OFFICERS NOT REQUIRED

Many Citizens Think Increase of Force
Unnecessary.
The subject of the proposed increase
of the police force is one of interest
among citizens and taxpayers just now,
and discussions of it evidence the fact
that many consider the proposed in
crease wholly unnecessary and an un
warranted expenditure of money.
They argue that the dull summer sea-
son is coming on, and that if the force
is to be increase at all, let it be done
next fall. Americas is very quiet
and orderly town and, besides there is
no need right now of larger police
force. The argument advanced in IA
vor of the increase, as made by an al
derman, is the shooting atfray at Mag
nolia dell last year upon the occasion
OF negro picnic, But even then the
police force we now have was not re-
CURED to quell the disturbance, as a
whole, and the counter argument that
special policemen can he employed TO
keep order ON such occasions in future
is very sc lsible one.
