possess certain kind of hat,
no one has ever been able to tell. But
this state of things comes to pass
time and again. And now every one
wants white felt hat And every
one wants fluffy white feathers about
the hat, or big bows and drapes of
white taffeta and a bit of white
silk fringe for trimming. This de-
mand is varied by another for white
trimmed with royal purple, vivid green
or black silk velvet Other all white
hats are trimmed with rich silk braid.
With these are worn the floating silk
veil of large mesh, white canvas
shoes or slippers, and cool looking
linen dresses made very plain. Wash
able gloves in white complete the
daintiest of summer costumes. The
half bleached linen suits, of crash,
are worn by the neatest women.

we came in sight of Druid Hill Park,

Shall We Have Auto VI Orks 2

A meeting of number of business
men of Charles Town was held in the
County Court room Tuesday afternoon
to discuss ways and means of establ ish
ing an automobile factory here. The
proposition comes from company now
operating successful automobile man.
ufactory in the North. and which seeks
to expand its business. The starting of
plant here is made contingent upon the
raising of part of the capital for it in this
county. From 100 to $50 men are to be
employed. The starting here of such a
plant as is contemplated would be great
benefit to Charles Town. 1t would bring
an increase of population together with
many thousands of dollars in pay roll
to say nothing of the transient business
which would naturally follow the estab-
lishment of such an industry here. A
liberal subscription was made by some
of the gentlemen present toward the oh
ject in view, and a committee was ap-
pointed to canvas for further subscrip-
tons. A liberal response toward this
enterprise may mean much for the future
of Charles Town, and it is hoped that
our people of means will give it their
serious attention.

War entered the city of Cumberland
whilst it was occupied by 1000 Federal
troops and captured Generals Crook
and Kelley-addressed large assem-
blage ofinterested auditors. The war on
the part of the South. he said, was tor
principal and personal liberty, and not tor
gain or for slavery. Southern life from
1900 10 1861, when broken by the clouds
of war, was an ideal one, and Southern
civilization the highest type of man and
wemanhood. His tributes to Lee and
Jackson were superb. and his references
to the brilliant achievements of these
Southern leaders and their patriotic
followers was eloquent. In closing he
said he had since the war enlisted under
the banner of King Emmanuel. and he
earnestly invoked such of his former
comrades in arms as had not already
done SO 10 enlist in the same cause and
