We have also secured about 95 per cent or the right of way between Franklin and Mt. Pleasant by way of Columbia. We have d big force of men at work and have completed it from that point to a point near Callindar Station. We will put a force with steam shovels at Brentwood hill some time during this month.
 Ut is our intention to build and oper- ate the road in sections. As I said the Nashville Franklin section will be built first and cars run on that. Then the Franklin Columbia section, which is No. 2 will be built, and the ColumbiaMt. {. Pleasant section. No 3, will be the last one.

New Hair Ornaments

Among the new hair ornaments are
some Of pliable wire fillets covered with
twisted purple velvet and finished with
clusters Of currants on either side
black over the right ear and white over
the left. The latter are made of soft.
silvery tinsel, while each cluster OF
fruit is supplemented with a few nat
Ural-cOlOred leaves.
Another innovation for evening wear,
which is popular in Difference to the
craze for tassels, is the introduction OF
these accessories into the realm Of hair
ornaments In some cases a Greek lllet
Of beaten silver is worn in the front
OF the hair, the ends of the fiIlet being
hidden by the soft waves and curls OF
the couture, while on either side, a lit
tic over each ear, two heavy pendent
silver tassels are introduced. which, at
a distance, almost convey the effect of
a pair of earrings.
