NUNNALLY'S WILL
 BE OPENED TODAY Prettiest Ice Cream ParlorS in
 the South FIXTURES OF MAHOGANY NunnaIy's Fine Candies, and Cut Flowers From His Green Houses In Greatest Abundance-WiIl
 Make Candy Here.

Nunnally's Birmingham store will be opened today.
 The formal opening will commence this morning and last until midnight tonight, and the store will be decorated with cut flowers and palms, and an orchestra will play morning and evening.
 The new candy store and ice cream par Tor is in the Florence hotel building, and is the prettiest and most modern in the south.
 The store already has a stock of Nun nally's famous candies, which are dis played in elaborate cases of the very latest design. The soda water fountain, know as the Twentieth Century Sanitas. is of the latest and most sanitary design, and has a capacity of about 5000 drinks a day.
 The entire store is in solid mahogany, all the fixtures, the fountain and trim mings being in the solid wood. The scheme has been carried to such an ex- tent that the chairs and the tables are all in mahogany
 On entering the door one is immediately impressed with the good taste that pre- vails in all the furnishings and fixtures There is nothing heavy about the furni- ture or any of the ornaments. Even the mosaic art glass decorations in the cor ners and on the soda fountain and fix lures is delicate, a pattern which Mir. Nunnally has adopted for all of his stores.
 These dainty art glass decorations are to be seen in a number of places about the store, but principally in the soda foun- tain, and when the lights are turned on back of them they make an unusually pretty effect
 The show cases are of plate glass and are about four feet high. The shelves for the candy and the novelties such as favors for germans, are all of plate glass, with nickel stands or rests for them. They are patterned after the very latest effects in New York and the east The tables on which the drinks are served are of mahogany with white marble tops, and the chairs are of mahogany.
 Mirrors extend to within four or five feet of the ceiling, and on every side one sees these beautiful mirrors, the design being that to be found so often in the old southern homes
 In the rear of the place is the refriger- ator for keeping cut flowers, which is mahogany with plate glass from top to bottom. The doors are double thickness of plate glass to prevent any heat from entering. The ice is placed in the re- frigerator from the rear.
 MT. Nunnally will send the flowers from his green houses in Atlanta, which are among the most extensive in the south. They will come by express every night, arriving in Birmingham in about seven hours after they are cut. He will also send his chocolates from Atlanta by ex- press, where he has his large plant.
 All of the candy novelties, the fancy candies for entertainments, will be manu- factured in Birmingham. MT. Nunnally has opened an establishment in Birming ham for the manufacture of these candies, and he is placing a competant man in charge. He has also secured from New York an expert flower man who will have charge of the flowers in the Birmingham store.
 The establishment has a capacity of about 50 people at time Employees have been sent from the Atlanta stores of Mir. Nunnally and he stated yesterday that he had chosen among the best soda water men and walters that he could find to bring to his Birmingham store.
 As is well known Nunnally's candies en- joy a reputation all over the south that is second to none, and his soda water store in Atlanta has for a long time been considered the prettiest in the south. The Birmingham store is now considered, how ever the handsomest in the south and no money or pains were spared in it's fixtures and arrangements. It is probably the most convenient to be found and the stock of candies will be the most com plete in the south.
