 NACHMAN AND MEERTIEF.

The opening of spring millinery at the Nachman -Meertief big department store was. from point of beauty, de- corations and lavish display of gor- geous hats, flowers, feathers and other dainty accessories of ''milady's' spring and summer head wears-was one of the finest ever seen in Montgomery.
 On the second floor where the spa cious millinery parlors are located the decorations. in a color scheme of green and white, were gorgeously arranged. Across the main parlor was strung Southern smilax, in the center of which hung white leghorn hats bent in the shape of baskets filled with beauti- full artificial flowers. The wall show cases containing the rich flower hats, the real palms and ferns scattered about the floor and over the cases, makes the whole room appear ike flower garden.
 The new milliners made fine i'm pression on the public with their ar tistic creations.
 The predominating colors in the new hats are the numerous greys and rose and in these colors are an endless va riety of beautiful combinations most artistically trimmed Among Sha flaw

Coming and Resident 1llIternte..

Boston Transcript.
 Time was when the question of deal ing with alien ~illiteracy dumped upon our shores was not pressing. Most of tho immigrants then came of stock sympathetic with our ideas They were largely literate or they took kindly to common school education. Of late all this has changed. We are re- ceiving the bulk of immigration from countries in which illiteracy abounds. and 1t is only candid to say that we have in resident illiteracy a problem far greater than is generally supposed. The census of 1900 showed that out of 57,949,S persons in the United States 10 years of age and over 6,is0.O69 were classified as illiterates.

COMMISSIONER POOLE SAYS EF-

Tncessant Rains During Month VIII Cause Great Reduction in Acre age of Cotton and More Att
 tention to FoOdstuffs.

Commissioner of Agriculture R. R. Poole says that from advises he has re- ceived from over the State. crops are at least two weeks behind. caused by the incessant rains during this month
 He believes that in the next two weeks the planting will be even fur ther behind. The Commissioner however believes that this will cause a decided reduction in the acreage of cotton and more attention to foodstuffs and stock raising.
 Most of the planting in Alabama Is done in March and the rains and the cold weather have been so predominant during this month that the farmers had but little opportunity to get into the fields February was a fine month for planting. but as a rule the planters waited for the regular month to ariYe.
 He believes that there will on this account be far more extensive plant ing of corn in the more fertile lands, while the use of the poor hands will be devoted to pasture purposes, so that stock raising will be more extensive this year than ever before.

 Double Tracking l.. and N.
 The Louisville and Nashville Railroad Is rushing forward the work of build ing long sidetracks between Birming- ham and Nashville. and the next twelve months will find that road with practi- cally a double track along most of that section of the line.
 The Nashville American says: The matter of building a second track on this division has been under considera- ton by the company for some time, and the great volume of work in progress on other parts of the system is said to be the one thing that kept the company from carrying out it's plans to doubIe-track at once. For some tune this division has been needing more sld- ings to accommodate the many passlhs trains, and Superintendent J. R. wheel CT of the Nashville division has begun the work by constructing as many long sidings as his forces can conveniently handle. Work is now in progress on long sidings at many stations between Nashville and Birmingham, and all these sidings are being built on the same side of the main tracks. Thls' 1t is explained by an official of the com pany, is done so that the work or doubling the tracks will not be such great task. When the sidetrack work is completed there will be very few gaps of more than five miles to be built in order to complete the second track Many of the sidings are over mile long and will hold several trains at once.

returned Sunday. He says that very

mine during the past few weeks ha.
been impossible because of the ex-

grouno. The hills are full of mois
tule and the water trickles down
through the ledges thus making the
limestone and kindred formations
very soft. Mr.. Mctiowan says that
the prospects of encountering a

There is no longer any doubt that
Gardnerville will celebrate the
Fourth this year. There will be a
meeting in valhalla Hall tonight of
the business men and others inter
ested in the matter and all arrange
ments will be made. Committees will
be appointed to look after the differ
ent details and petition will be i'm
mediately circulated in order that
the expense incurred by the celebrat
ion may be met. Neither time nor
expense will be spared to make this
years celebration the greatest in he
history of the town. Those vitality
concerned are very enthusiastic re-
garding the affair and this in itself is
assurance sufficient of its success.
Tne fact that the town is beginning

ion is a big point in its favor. This
assures ample time in which to se-
cure the many features essential to
the success of the event aud just
what these will prove to be we will

present it is sufficient to say that he
celebration will be a hummer and
that the Record Courier will print
all of the particulars in tho weeks
that will elapse before the'Fourth.

CAPITALISTS
BECOMING
Interested

A number of capitalists we're slated
to arrive in Gardnerville few days
ago and from here they would proceed
to Buffalo canyon and there inspect
the copper claim of John Donnely. in
which splendid body of ore wa, re-
Gently encountered. The wealth ,r,
however, has not been so very favor
able or It least it was not at the time
these capitalists were billed to arrive
and so to date nothing has been heard
concerning them.
Men competent to judgs however.
have examined the property and from
them we gain the information that
the John Donnely copper mine is all
that has been claimed for it and that
capital will surely be interested in its
development before the summer is
over. The formation in Buffalo can-
yon seems to he particularly favorable
for "A large deposit of copper Cr op-
p ngs of the ledge which Mr. Donnely
has uncovered can be found in many
places and the general trend of these
cropppings seen to be toward Dom

which is the property of Barney Nc
Gowan and others interested with
him, has five foot ledge of ore which
bears the general characteristics of
the ledge above referred to and this
mine is situated not so very far from
Donnely's. all things considered.
therefore. there is every reason to be-
leive that somewhere in the Buffalo
canyon country an immense body of
copper exists and Mr. Donnely is firm
in his belief that he has uncovered a
ledge leading to the very body.
Others who have examined his hold
ings are of the same opinion. The ar
rival OF the capitalists above referred
