tistic methods Of displaying goods, adj

manner and courteous treatment e1-
tended to one and all OF their custo-
mers have increased their business to
such an extent throughout this city aud
suburban towns that they have long
felt the need OF quicker delivery ser
vice. Their new car is an Overland,
model No 40, delivery type; powerful,
yet beautiful in design, and the firm
deserves much credit for this elegant
addition to their already finely APP
pointed store. They intend to make

A regular meeting OF the City Coun'
Gil will be held tonight at which time
the tax bill referred to the finance com

ported. The bill as passed by both
boards several weeks ago fixed the rate

a new bill, however, as the original was
passed by both boards on the same
night. A proposition to enlarge the
discount for prompt payment is no"
being considered by the committee:
Should this be adopted a discount OF
six per cent will be allowed on bills

THE ELKS' FESTIVAL.

Az the pights pass the Elks Spring
Festival grows in popularity ana tn ns
crowd last night was very large. VI
course the fact that the Alexandria
Iight Infantry would drill was the oc-
casion of many new faces, but, aside
from this, there is 20 denying the fact
that the Elks' Home is an attractive
place. Why shouldn't it be?-svery-
thing that heart could wish 10 tempt
both the eye and appetite can
be found there. 1t doesn't cost
so much either, for we have seen
some men talk to the young ladies i've
minutes and only get rid Of s.. But
there are others who talk about five
hours and, perhaps, will be five cents
short after the night is over. But they
enjoy the dance and it is very good
way to keep from being worried "
The young folks had some OF our imam
ciers last night and what they did for
them was a plenty. 1t IS e'-ident they
vent forthe purpose of spending money
and they made no mistake. The Ger
man Village came in for its share OF
the wealth and vas crowded all even
ing. The weather last night vas all
that could be desired and everyone who
loves amusement took advantage OF Ii:
New songs every night and BY some OF
the best talent in Alexandra ana
Washington. There are many hand,
some donations which will be disposed
of this week and if one is lucky lie vii!
not regret a trip to the festival and a
chance to take chance. . Come
out tonight anyhow and notice how
glad they are to see you.
Thursday afternoon will be Children 5
Dav al the Festival.
