Best In Its History.

The Millinery opening at the east
side establishment of Mrs. J. w. Boles
last Friday and Saturday met with
greater and grander success than has
ever been achieved before in her
twenty-five years experience in the
Millinery business in Versailles. The
weather was ideal and the ladies of
this city and vicinity were in the best
of moods to select their spring head
wear, and it required the services OF
Mrs. Boles and a number of apt as
sistants every minute of their time to
satisfy the swarm OF patrons who took
occasion to secure their supply during
the two days.
The store was artistically arranged
and the display of hats, ribbons.
flowers. feathers and other spring
dainties gave the place the appear
anCe OF a well kept flower garden.
The stock, which was the largest eve
brought on for the inspection of her
patrons, and which was captivating in
modish shapes and up-to-date patterns,
simply sold like .'hot cakes and the
elegant stock showed it at closing
time Saturday night. The opening
sales surprised Mrs. Boles herself.
but she is equal to the emergency
and already has more supplies OF the
way and will meet all demands fol
Faster hats. The success Of this open
ing has been the talk in fashion cir

The City Election.

The election in this city Tuesday
was one OF the livcliest local affairs
that has been pulled off here in many
4 day. In fact it started out warm
eoon after the polls opened and kept
getting warmer and warmer until the
last vote was cast at 6 O'Clock in the
evening.
The fight concentrated on the city
marshalship and everything else was
last sight of in the din of the battle.
Daniels Tor the office OF mayor had
no opposition. but the friends OF VIM.
Duccy insisted upon pitting him
against John Sullens for city marshal
and this fact is what lined up the
forces in both wards and resulted in
Sullens' defeat by 60 votes. The re-
suit by wards is as follows;

OF March has been unusual. and the
first early spring days. according to
the calendar. found gardening and
field work further advanced than for
many years. But there are five weeks
yet in which killing frosts may be ex-

teresting data in this respect:
Since 1889 there have been killing
irosts every April except in 1900 and
1903. in both of these years the last
having occurred on March 18th. The
frost OF May 3. 1903, is not so classec
