we now have to deal. There are TO-
day fifty-three stores housed under
this one roof, and some of them Oc-
cupy not less than double the en-
tire floor space of the little store,
the picture of which is shown at
the right in the top corner.
This is now the most comfort
able and convenient store in the en-
tire West, excelled, we believe, by
none in the world in it's serving ca
pacity.
The sources of supply. command
ed by our immense capital enables
lis to purchase, and therefore sell,
at.lower prices than otherwise pos
siblc.
Bars department display, be-
ginning Tuesday, will give you a
better idea of the marvellous re-
sources of this great house, which
is now thoroughly modern in every
respect, than any printed descrip-
tion could do.
Tuesday all elevators will be
running, and there are now seven
new electric passenger elevators
of large carrying capacity running
from basement to fourth floor.
We cordially invite our public to
come and see the result of these
months Of labor and expenditure,
and to rejoice with us that at last
all is complete and the noise and
hustle of construction at an end.

The fire was one of the largest that ever occurred in the city. At one time four other houses in the neighborhood were on fire and ow- ing to the high winds it looked as if they would all be destroyed The Hays home stead was erected about twelve years ago and was decidedly the handsomest modern residence in the city. It was valued at s12,000 and was insured for s5OOO. There were several boarders in the house who lost all of their wearing apparel.
 Miss Stella Harris entertained most delightfully."- at her studio last evening in compliment to Miss Anna Stillman of Birmingham and Miss Grace Guerrant of Kentucky, who are the attractive guests of Dr. and Mrs. David c.

The prizes were boxes of candy. Dainty refreshments were served at the close of the evening.

LIVED IN THREE CENTURIES

Montgomery, April Especial )-At the age of 116 years, Mrs. Marsylla Keith, familiary known in Montgomery as Granny Keith, died here today. She had been bedridden for about six years, but retained her mental faculties per- fectly until yesterday, when she com plained of a pain about the heart and gradually sank into death. Though Granny" Keith had In her early life been healthy and we'll developed physical ly, she did not weigh more than forty pounds when she died.
 Mrs. Keith was born in Darlington, S. C., in 17S7. She was descended from the Scotch settlers who came over to Amer ica during colonial times. At the age of 15 she moved with her parents to what Is now Montgomery where she was married to James Keith at the age of 16.
 At one time she was in possession of a family tree which showed her line of descent without a fault. but she lost this valuable family relic in fire which oc- cured a number of years ago. Hence. now 1t would be only guess work to try to trace her ancestry. James Keith, her husband, died in 1862 at the age of 84 years.
 Mrs. Keith has lived in the administra- ton of every President of the United Oldles ucWH tO tIle pTeSSIl lllHt anu udS also lived in three centuries. 1T00, 1900 and 1900. Mrs. Keith had thirteen children, four of whom are now living.
 The living ones are Jeremiah Edmund Keith, Mrs. M. Pebworth and Mrs. M. ODonnell of Montgomery and J. w. Keith of Birmingham. The grand child ren are so scattered and numerous that no accurate estimate can now be made of the number. Twenty great grand child ren have been enumerated. Mrs. Keith had two great great grand children, the children of Jack Tally whose wife was a Miss Ella Keith, the great grand child of fha depaased
