A Good Millinery Season.


Walhalla's two excellent millinery
stores, under the management of Sea-
born Bros. and Mr.. G. G. Jaynes, have
done larger business this season than
at any former time. The business done
at their spring openings more than dou-
bled the output of either spring or fall
openings of last year. There has been
little outof-town buying done by the
people of Walhalla, and the trade from
other parts of the county has been graft
flying indeed to the milliners of this
place. Realizing the Importance of
the goods selected by the buyers for
born were bought with view to attract
ing attention by more than ordi, ary
combination of quality and beauty. In
the conduct of the business of the two
establishments the excellent taste of
Mesdames Geo. p. Seaborn and Chas. G.
Jaynes gave abundant evidence of the
fact that they are thorough masters of
the milliner's art. Mrs. Seaborn was
assisted by Miss Maude Kay, while
Misses Julia Maxwell and Alice Fret
we'll rendered valuable assistance to Mrs.
Jaynes. With such excellent millinery
establishments as these two, Walhalla
ladies have every reason to congratulate
themselves that there is no need to 90
away from home to buy the best, and the
ladies of surrounding communities have
realized this year that they can duplicate
at a lower price in Walhalla what they
have been in the habit of ordering by
mail. These two stores are prepared to
meet all demands with prompt and eff
cient service.
