GOOD PROSPECT FOR RAFTING.

There is considerable stir among the stiff hat manufacturers in town A few hat buyers: have been in to place theirIspring orders and select their goods. DrummerS out on the road are sending in good:orders for spring styles. AS things look now there will be busy times for several weeks to come. The new Young and Youman's hat is out and sample cases are being hurried in
 to market. The broad brim tstiff hat appears to be a favorite with the sty- lish young man out for an airing with his best girl, who wears a correspond ingly big hat with her winter furs. Sixty years ago our granddaddies' wore a full stiff plyin hot or jack up, so call ed, with three and half inch brim. This old style of hat was curled and set much like the present fashion. The style was worn mostly by men along in years. Men of 50 or less look ed older than men now over 80 .years of age. This is largely owing to mems dress and the professional barber style of dressing the hair and beard. Many old citizens, who have passed four score, are familiar on the streets tO- day but few little suspect there being more than three score. Their figure is erect and step quick. Such may look ahead toward the century mark.
