HOMESTEAD" OPENS
GREAT CROWDS WENT TO ADMIRE
 PLACE.
It is Said to Be the Most Uniqne Ss- tablishment of Its Kind tn
 the south.

what could have been more favor- able to the opening of the Lions saesa yesterday7
 It didn't rain--exespt soda water and candy. Everybody seemed to pc desir. ous of going and they went-exceps some poor soul who was prooaoiy SICK. Strains of music and the splenaef et the front stopped everybody ana eV. erything--except the street cars---and really 1t would he unjust to expect tne cars to stop because the Lions Head is not on the corner of any street or streets, but along about the middle ot that south square between Lawrence and Perry Streets on Dexter Avenue.
 And. besides. Montgomery won the ball game. And who knows but what that crowd at the ball game yesterday would not have been larger If 1t had not been for the Lions Head?
 Continual crowds thronged the new soda and confectionery emporium o1 Montgomery from the early afternoon gamut of years was run, from chipper youth to palsied age. The multitude was too large for rolling chairs and in- valids but they remained at home ana Tnunched freely of the free candy brought them by Mittie May.
 IL was a jolly crowd with jolly sur roundings, The spirit was thst ot the nQkAQa1t tAkhtc AftItU tt4Aa &A 3ftA1R@S opening. It Is said that If one travels a thousand miles in any direction from Montgomery one would not And . more elaborately fitted, e more attractive and refreshing parlor than the Lions Head. Those who filed Into the place yesterday. In spite of the crush of sight-seers and the unavoidable dIH- comforts of an opening, saw enough to convince them of the unique rank the Lion's Head must occupy in the con- fsctionery and thirst -Quenching world.
 The prettlest display was at night. The crystal lights which poured It's flood all through the corridors of the fountain room and the commedious ta- ble room ct the rear revealed rare the Mission style of the parior fur piture and the frieze work shone in ad- rnirabie harmony with the animation of the visitors.
 Manager Hopkins as were the wisi- tors yesterday was impressed with the heat in the establishment. This he said, was due to the unnnisheA con- which will be opened h 2 day or two. Then the ventilation with fans over head ought to clear the air of all op- pressivsness
 The hurried alm of the propFleters now Is to complete the large and hand some electric light design to adoyn the front of the Lien's Head This will consist of fountain raised hIgh above the door on the exterior and focuaad by extravagant streams of light whtle incessant water will spout ana effarv vesce in glass below,
 It was . great day for the Lion's Head There was classic spirit Of eongeniality about the emporium. smacking of the old saverns and coffee houses that used to be the delight of old pr. Samuel Johnson and an endur, Ing comfort to Oliver Goldsmith.
 It is the most unique establishment in the South.

AS to his satire and Wit Somehow
II does not affect me perhaps as much

the question. If the gentleman had
not tried TO dehde the people by plac-
ing the Oklahoma agency in the same

essary. This classification of the
agency with tho dispensary is an old
dodge Of the enemies OF the agency
proposition, and has fooled many good
people.
When Mr.. Robertson makes the as.
seriion that South Carolina tried the
same system for ten years etc. he
wilfully and knowingly lied and he did
so with the sole Intention of injuring
the agency proposition in the minds
of the public He knows. as does ev-
cry other man that has Investigated

dispensary was established and run for
the purpose OF selling liquor as a bey.
erage. while the Oklahoma agency was
established for the sale OF liquor for
medicinal aud scientific purposes only,
and that a sale by them for any 9th.
