THRONES VISIT
HARTLEY's TODAY
FIRST DISPLAY OF SPRING MIL,
LIEERY IN NEW DEPART.
MENT ON SECOND FLOOR
ANNEX.

Hartley's store is having its first
display OF spring millinery today
In the new department on the second
floor annex
1t has always been a source of re.
gret to both Hartley's store and the
people of Fairmont, that this store
didn't have a millinery department, as
all large department stores in the
country have a department of this
kind. Lack of room has kept this
enterprising firm from adding this
department until recently, when the
annex was added, which made this
department possible. 1t had been the
idea Of this store to have their an.
nual cpening before Easter. as has
been their custom for years. and at
this time to formerly open the mil
linery establishment. A car of fix
lures ordered for the department is
held up somewhere between here and
Cincinnati, and for this reason the
opening has been postponed until la
ter, but a display of hats is being held
to-day and the department will be open
to the public from to-day. An i'm
mense line of hats is being displayed
and throngs of people are visiting the
store.
Hartleys are fortunate in having
this department in the hands of thor.
oughly competent people and this lie.
partment will. no doubt, meet with
the success that all the other depart
ments CT this store have had and are
having. 1t will be the. aim of the firm
to carry hats to suit each and every
one OF its patrons.

Attorney Shaw Is making strong
defense for Mike verto and Sam Brnz.
Zinc the defendants in the suit that
is now being tried in the Circuit
Court: The stories OF the Assyrians
and the Italians are diyerging from
the central point and as the italian
story progresses the angle increases.

side has man carefully watching
the questions put by the ofiicIaI inter
prefer to the witness and his report
OF the answer given by the witness.
Joe Beredelli sits directly behind
Prosecuting Attorney Lowe and An
tonic Angotti sits by the side Of At
torney Shaw. These men are very
alert but no fault has been found that
the interpreter is not faithfully per
forming his duties.
The Witnesses for the defense havs
broken down the story of Zine Mike
and Mamie Thomas. The strength Of
the case that the State has PIT up
now depends upon the weight and
the credibility of witnesses against
the weight and the credlbIIity OF the
defendants witnesses. That is
question which the Jury decides.
A big crowd still sits in the Court
house listening to the story as It do
yelops and to the clash OF the attor-
