BIG CROWD AT
SPRING OPENING
BEAUTIFUL HATS SHOWN ~ Mo-
KENYON, ANDERSON a
FOSTER.

McKennon, Anderson & Fosters
Millinery cperirg, one OF the events
of great moment to the lady OF fash
ion. begun Thursday morning and was
attended by big outpouring of the
beauty of Columbia and Maury county.
The millinery sales rooms, ON the
second floor Of the spacious building
had been transformed into bowers OF
loneliness by the liberal use of mirrors,
flowers ard other decorations, and 1t
was here that the corps Of sale ladies'
greeted their customers with that cor
diality for which the store Is famous,
and showed them creation after Gre
ton of the very latest patterns.
This season milady is not confined
to any special size hat, for they come
in the large sizes, with the brims
many feet in circumference, and are
very stylish; and also In the small
turban sizes, which are just as modish
and Just as much worn.
There are many new shades. and the
variety of shades from which to select
is unusually large. Flame, coral, the
new blues, and the new greens are es-
pecially good tones, but many other
shades are being worn, and the pur-
chaser Is given wide discrimination In
making selections. The popular jet OF
last spring has been replaced by
masses of flowers and profusion OF
velvet ribbons in fancy shades,
The two-toned ombre effects are
very stylish. and wheat, in natural and
other colors is q favorite ornament.
A pattern hat that attracted much
attention was Panama creation with
roll brim and velvet facing This hat
was trimmed In new red and pink
shades, with foliage and touch OF
black velvet ribbon.
Another extremely nobby hat was
the New Napoleon" This is an ex-
IRENE shape. The hat was in black
and natural English straw, with two
handsome willow feathers, coral shade
trimmings, velvet ribbon coming I'M
derneath and caught with straw ca
bachon. and two long loops across the
front.
In the smaller shapes wes a much
admired turban, one side of which
was beautiful bed OF pink geraniums,
the other side being of green straw
with green velvet bow caught with
a cut steel buckle.
In the knock-about, or street hats,
the late Fiske and Gage designs were
shown.
The firm is also showing some beau
tiful lace wells. which will be much
worn, and also large line Of jewell
ed ornaments

FABULOUS PRICES
PAID FOR FOREST
TREES OF MAURY
sixTY-FIVE CHOICE ONES SOLD
FOR A COOL FoRTY-FIVE
HUNDRED.

In ancient days when American was
young and man fought with the for
ests the giant trees Of Maury were
felled in pro0igious numbers, thrown
into piles and burned, to the merry &C
compartment Of the glad songs of the
forefathers. But times have changed
The big poplars are now in real de-
mand. and that citizen so lucky as to
have saved up a few trees for a rainy
day is well calculated to roll in opu-
lence and to ride in automobiles.
Illustrating the point in question,
Charles Williamson, Sr, we'll known
farmer of the county, has just dispos-
ed OF sixty-f1ve trees to Mr.. Mayberry,
a lumberman. for which he received
the fancy price of $4,000. The trees
were magnificent specimens of their
kind and brought the magnificent
price Of $1,000 each. 1t is easy to ig-
ure the cost of building, when trees
in the rough bring such fancy figures.
Mr.. Mayberry also bought, some
time ago. for the sum of $4,000, one
hundred trees, on which he made a
handsome profit. Other big deals
have been made but none that better
illustrate the present stiff lumber quo
tations. The trees we're unusually
large, free of knots and limbs for
distance CT fifty feet from the ground.
When It is taken into consideration
that where Columbia now stands was
once a great forest primeval. frequent
ed by red skins and deer, and covered
with a growth Of timber that II stand
ing today would be worth more than
the tabled mines of Ophir, the cry Of
Mr.. Pinchot for the preservation or
the forests has something more than
a sentimental ring-there Is clink
of coin to 1t as well.

NEW YORK BANKS
 EXPECTED TO MERGE

New York, January So.-Announcement was made here today that w. vannorden and his son. w. M. vannorden, have with drawn from the affairs of the Vannorden Trust company MT. vannorden. ST., was a director and his son a director and president of the same company. The new president of the company is Charles A.. Moore, ST., who is also chairman of tho board of directors.
 Other officers and directors of the com pany are nearly all connected with the Carnegie Trust company and the retire. ment of the Vannordens gives strength to a rumor current of late that the vannor- den Trust company, the Twelfth Ward bank, the Nineteenth Ward bank and the Carnegie Trust company will all merge.
 Bradley Martin Jr., one of the directors. said tonight:
 .sThe directors of the Carnegie Trust company bought control of the vannor- den concern last year. They bought as individuals and not as q company. The runor is not true that the Vannorden Trust company Is to merge at once with the Carnegie Trust company. If action of this kind ia taken 1t may come some time in the spring.
 It was pointed out here tonight that a merger of the sort denied would give the Carnegie Trust company resources of nearly $400o0.000. with a capital and surplus of N.500.000. Warner vannorden was recently relieved of $2S.00o in front of the Waldorf-Astoria by two women who accosted him on the street.

STRICT RULES FOR
 WEST POINT LAYERS

New York. January 9.--still another set of regulations to govern hazing at West Point will go into effect this week. They follow a recommendation that three cadets recently found guilty of ''bracing' plebe be dismissed. The Secretary of War did not consider the offense suffi- cient to justify dismissal and has re- adjusted the regulations. "Bracing' is to compel a cadet, it is alleged, to stand at attention for several hours.
 The new regulations are even more drastic than those provided previously adopted and provide the most trivial am noyance of undercass men shall bring summary punishment in the form of sus- pension.
 Violence is barred as in the past. but in addition 1t is specified that ''any cadet who shall compel or permit an under classmate to perform for him any menial service or to do anything Incompatible with the position of cadet and gentlemen, shall be summarily suspended and turned back to join the next class"

CHERRY MINE TO BE
 UNSEALED TODAY
FIRE MAY STILL BE BURNING. MORE THAN 200 BODIES OF EN- ToMBED MINERS TO BE FIX HUMED.

Cherry. H., January 3o.-The little coal mining town of Cherry is steeling itself to undergo the ordeal of exhumation that is expected this week, following the promised unsealing tomorrow or Tuesday of the St. Paul mine, in which the bodies of more than POO coal miners have been entombed since November 13, when fire caused the death of some $50 men.
 A snowstorm is blowing tonight. As it is not certain that the fire in the mine is extinguished, nothing definite toward the recovery of the bodies will be planned until experts, protected with oxygen hel- nets, have explored the shaft
 It has been suggested that much grue- someness could be avoided by destroying the cadayers in the mine galleries with chemicals. This proposal unofficially made, has met with bitter opposition from the widows. mothers and children of the dead miners. They plead to be all lowed to look once more on the form of beloved relative, to tgive that body a Christian burial, and to recover some per sonal token.
