Extensions of Railroads.

Local railroad men are greatly in
terested in the announcement Of re-
newed activity in railroad building in
Southwest Virginia since reports have
been sent out from Baltimore to the
effect that numerous systems are en-
deavoring to reach the rich coal fields
Of Wise, Dickinson and Buchanan
counties.
The L. & N, which extends to Nor
ton, with the N. & W., is said to be
figuring extensively in the coal devel-
opment.
The Louisville & Nashville is ex-
tending several spur tracks from Pen
nington Gap to reach the coal lands
in Lee county. The latter scheme of
development will be of direct interest
to manufacturers and citizens ofKnox-
vile as Virginia will be yielding by
the time the L. & N. is ready to open
its line from Jellico to Knoxville.
| The move in railroad circles in that
section, it is said, is due to the steps
being taken to complete the South &
Western from the Southwest Virginia
counties via johnson City to the sea.
The recent rumor that the Southern
will build line from Johnson City to
Marion has not yet been denied, but SO
far as has been heard the survey has
not been started.
The belief is general that Hollins &
Zimmerman in effoats to furnish @. 81.
& d. railway interests will finance the
s. & W. railroad to completion regard.

III. Millinery Of Spring.

Whimsically uPturned brims charac-
terize the hats of the moment. some Of
which are unusually attractive. Hats
of the Colonial order remain fayorites
because Of their general becomingness.
The ostrich feather in its latest guise
is manipulated into the fiat shape Of Q
quill and used in quill fashion to trim
the smartest Of walking hats.
The Spring colors in millinery are
wonderfully attractive. That brilliant
hues VIII be most favored is certain.
Bright-colored headgear when worn
with harmonizing costume is vastly
becoming, and the idea has an econom-
ical interest, since one hat may be
made to do duty with several costumes.
A pinkish mauve, which in the darker
tones is closely allied to the Burgundy
shades, is a modish Spring color. The
new piaks and reds are on the rose and
raspberry shades. There are shown
tailor models in straw that will freshen
up the mid-season's costume or provide
the touch of completion to the new
street suit, Both rough and fine, satiny
straw braids are used to make these
early season hats, and all the fashion
colors are procurable. The mixed
straws are especially pleasing several
shades of one color or contrasting COL
ors being blendid. Those combining
dark blue, green, yellow and red in q
plaid weave are liked for youthful
wearers. The hats are fashioned in q
variety of shapes. and in almost every
instance the only attempt at trimming
is shaded quill with straw bow OF
loops. For the dreasy hat that is to
take the place of the velvet creation ol
the Winter, tulie or lace is used.--
