ACETYLENE LIGHTS
BEING INSTALLED
AT SPRING HILL
THE HOTEL AND PARSONAGE
UNDERGOING THOROUGH
REPAIR,
Much Improvement Now Being Made
Throughout the Town-Board Ae-
tive In Its. Encouragement of En-.
terprise and Progress.

Spring Hill Is soon to have a sys.
tenn Of lighting it's streets and the
public places about town. Already
the contract has been let and acety-
lene gas lamps are being stationed at
all the street crossings, and at the
hotels and churches and other public
places sufficient for all practical light
ing purposes. The lamps will be 10
Gated on good substantial posts and
will be cared for In a way that will
make the lighting almost equal to
electric lamps.
Acetylene makes a fine light, and
the difference in favor of electricity
Is the difference in the attention nec-
essary to the lamps. The expendi.
ture necessary for the installation
of the system at Spring Hill will be
approximately $4,000, and they will
soon be in operation. One beauty
about this system is that one lamp
can be utilized as it is placed in posi-
ton, and will not have to wait for
the completion Of the entire system
before any benefits can be derived
from the investment,
In addition to this progressive
step much other improvements OF the
town in keeping with the lighting sys-
TEN is taking place. There is al
ready a great deal of concrete walk
in the town, but the town authori-
ties are having other walks put down,
and are contemplating more. The
latest is from the hotel to DR..
Moores residence. 1t is expected
that before the cold weather suffi-
cient to put a stop to the work ar
rives there will be concrete along a
number of the principal streets that
do not have it now.
There is also a geart deal of improv-
ing of private property now In prog
ress. The parsonage of the Metho-
dist church there is undergoing thor.
ough repairs and will be completed
before winter is on
The hotel is now being renovated
and repaired throughout. There lie
concrete walk being laid in front and
other improvements that are adding
to its appearance.
Papering and painting is being
done at many of the residences OF tho
town, and there is an air of progress
and enterprise about the town in ev-
cry way that speaks we'll for the res
idents.

give the picture a perfect finish.
Plumes figure prominently in the

The selections are exquisite and

suited to the peculiar type of beauty
of each lady that visited the store
Those shapes most admired were as
follows:
The feather toque, in the colorings
of the peacock, with large peacock
wing placed on the left, with a crown
sloping toward the back, was one of
the most and critically admired hats
in the selection.
A street hat Of American beauty
colorngs, with trimmings Of Alice
blue, came for a share of the praise
of the ladies'.
The most exquisite and to the
writer's taste, the most effective hat
in the entire display was a large
Gainesborough shape, made of white
felt, with broad brim edged with
white corded silk and sporting will
low plume measuring twenty-five
inches from tip to tip, with aues
twelve inches
The improved mushrooms, made OF
royal purple velvet with facing of
American beauty, trimmed in dull
gold and embossed velvet was a pop
ular model.
A bonnet effect shape made Of
black velvet with facings of white
silk, with a slight turn up in the
back was also greatly admired. An
other bonnet press shape was in
kings blue with the crown covered
by one immense French feather OF
the same color and blending off into
London smoke, and the black velvet
facing, this also received many COM
pliments and was bought as soon as
shown.
A hat of grown draped beaver cloth
with facing of royal purple and cord
ed satin of the same color is an ex-
quisite model.
A dress hat of particular merit was
a shape with a high rolling back of
pink corded silk, draped crown of the
same material and black velvet fac
ing, with the trimmings caught in
the front with a bouquet Of hand
made roses.
The sales that we're made on the
