cinnati at which cities he has been
for the past two weeks buying new
fall and winter goods for the Maury
Dry Goods Co. Mr.. Wooten talked
freely about the situation east and
stated that the outlook was good for
a fall and winter trade, and that there
was no reason why it should not be
so here. He bought the largest line
of clothing, dry goods and ladies' tai
Tor made suits and dress goods for
his store that he has purchased for
years. He is feeling good over the
situation and is sure of "a nice bust

Mrs. A. s. Custer.
Mrs. A. S. Custer, who is in charge |
of the tailoring department Of the !
Maury Dirty Goods Co., has just re-
turned from Chicago where she at
tended the dress makers convention
and in talking of the styles stated
that it was not quite far enough along
to enter into full detail, but that
the "hobble skirt" was taking back
seat for the tube skirt" As a mat
ter of fact the mere mention of such
a freak as the tube skirt would set
newspaper man going and there was
an awful excitement on the part Of
the reporter to know something of this
new freak that could supplant the
hobbled effect. Something to change
the gait. The hobble skirt like the
for horses is supposed to pre-
vent the change of gait from tror to
pace and vice versa, and as conse-
Quence there was an avalanche Of [
questions fired at Mrs. Custer with
the following results:

Custer. I'm other words, the skirt is
narrow but plain and is not bound in. cl
