Yesterday the show windows of the
Sumter Dry Goods Go. were the
cynosure Of all eyes on Main street,
the superb decorations irresistibly
drawing the attention Of even the
casual passer, even though he was alto
gether uninterested in ladies' dress
goods and millinery. The windows
were dressed in honor of the Spring
opening and were but hint of the
display within the store, where the
seasons offerings of imported and do
nestle fabrics were shown in artistic
profusion. The opening was attended
by crowds of ladies who always ap-
preciate these displays Of fashion.
Not only were the ladies Of Sumter
out in full force, but there were num-
bers of the out of town customers OF
this popular establishment in the city
today especially for this occasion.

SPRING OPENING.
Magnificent Displays of latest Styles in
Dress Goods and Millinery.

Monday the annual Spring open
ing at the Palace Dry Goods Empo-
rum was a drawing card and Messrs.
Schwartz Bros, had the pleasure of
seeing sheir handsome establishment
thronged with admiring and appre-
ciative visitors throughout the day.
In the afternoon there was a regular
crush at times. The store was in gala
array and the decorations were, as
usual, artistic and beautiful, the new
spring fabrics, which are unusually
handsome and in bewildering variety,
being used to the best advantage for
display and the adornment of the
store. This establishment always
succeeds in making the opening sue
cess-there is ever something new
novel and attractive, there is no same
ness about the decorations or the
goods displayed, and to see the decora-
tioas and display of dress goods and
millinery at one opening is not to SEQ
all Of their openings, for they have
that happy faculty of making each
one original and distinctive display.
