semi-annually by the several millinery
establishments in Newberry, took

to conspire to make it one Of the
most delightful openings in the his
tory of these opening days in New
berry. During the night Of Wednes-
day the weather turned cooler and
yesterday morning good, fresh
northeast wind was blowing, and
everything had the appearance Of
fall, which, Of course, made the la
dies more interested in looking at the
different styles and patterns Of fall
and winter hats than they would
have been if the hot weather Of the
past several days mad continued. The
several establishments in Newberry
all We'd with one another in making
the most elaborate and beautiful dis
play. This reporter Of course would
not undertake to make comparisons.
They are always odious and would be
especially so if he undertook to COM
pare the display of one establishment
with that Of another. Suffice it to
say that they all we're uu to date and
the several ladies in charge were
busy showing their latest creations in
millinery apparel and the seeker and
