FUR MANUFACTURING.
The H. G. Barker Co.'s Busy Season
Is at Its Height.

This important and growing fur in
dustry that the III. g. Barker co. have
so successfully planted in Augusta :
not only of great practical benefit to
the business of the city, inasmuch as
it gives employment to men and wo-
men who command good wages, but
it also attracts to the city customers
from all over the State, who visit this
store to either have fur garments made
TO measure, or old ones made over.
The mystery OF manufacturing all
kinds of skins of fur animals into such
beautiful and stylish as we'll as COM
Portable garments is interesting. Mr.
Barker delights in showing the skins
of the various animals before they are
cut and made up, that one may real
ize how very particular is the work of
cutting, fitting and sewing so many
skins together so the effect will be fine
and the very many seams where the
skins are united be unnoticeable. The
fine unplucked otter skins. of rich. dark
brown color are among the most at
tractive. These and the elegant seal
skins so beautiful and soft, are largely
made into elegant and expensive jack
cts. riding coats, &c, for ladies. The
wool seal coats are very brilliant and
dressy and they stand rain and snow
equal to a rubber garment. The dark
and handsome Russian calf skins are in
great demand for gentlemen's and
ladies' riding coats. Dog skins are so
CHEAP durable and practical the sale
is large, the prices ranging from so
to $50. One thing important and very
noticeable in this mandatory, is that
the Innings of coat and sleeves, also the
work and trimmings is as faithful and
good as in the more expensive gar
ments. none of your penny wise AMI
pound foolish" policy here, but a broad
liberal business view of what consti-
tutes true business success. The edges
of even the cheap garments are finished
with mohair braid. Coon skins having
become TOO scarce and high to make
into mems coats, the kangaroo is taking
the place, and only costs about one-haif
as much. The stock of ready made
garments for men and women is large
and the advantage of making many in
the summer season, enables Mr.. Barker
to make lower prices, as in the beauti-
full fur lined and fur trimmed coat ar
the door, which costs only $33, Won
derful bargain. Mr.. Barker prides
himself on having fur garments that
fit.

WHAT is DYSPEPSIA?

Mi-o-na cures dyspepsia by the only

About that time there was something
doing at the North end. 1t was a great
game of hide and seek. The grand

MAY HAVE FOUND HER CHILD.
Daughter Who Was Kidnapped Years
Ago Believed to Be Identified.

young woman. known as Ethel Clark
who was reared in a charitable institution
In this city, may be the daughter of Mrs.
Jasper w. Clark of Baltimore. Twenty
three years ago the young daughter Of
Mrs. Clark was kidnapped by a tramp be-
cause the mother had refused him food.
The tramp called at the house and asked
for something to eat and was refused, and
he went away after telling her he would get
even with her for her refusal The next
day her five-year-old child was carried Off
by tramp and the mother spent all the
money she possessed in her efforts to re-
cover the little one.
Nothing was ever heard by Mrs. Clark
concerning her daughter Marion. The story
of years ago was recently printed in Bal
timore paper. and Miss Ethel Clark, who
is an employee in a silk factory in Balu-
more, called on the mother and related her
experience. She does not know who her
parents are and merely called to discuss
the affair with Mrs. Clark. She remember
ed, but not distinctly, something of the sur
roundings of her childhood days, and they
tailed with the home of Mrs. Clark at the
time the child was taken away. She re-
called that she was taken from her home
In Baltimore by man and conveyed to
Washington, where she was placed In a
Catholic institution.
Mrs. Clark came to this city yesterday tc
learn what she could of the life of Miss
Ethel while the latter lived in this city and
nection between the young woman and her.
self She did not meet with any success
yesterday and will return here this week to
continue her investigation.
