fully Mr.. Nolan is showing some of
its product, which to the INITIATED,
looks attractive, and to those who I'M
derstand and know, looks better. He
left sample of the mine product, one
Iof which is gold bearing quartz, which
is very rich in the precious metal.
The other is cobalt silver and has the
appearance of the melted metal just
out of the crucible.
After visit of some weeks here
Mr.. Nolan will return to his Canadian
home, where a handsome residence
is being constructed for his family by
the company with which he Is con-
nected. He is in much better health

A FORMER CITIZEN
VISITS COLUMBIA
AT TER MANY YEARS
CAPT. THos. 3. AFFORD is THE
GUEST OF RELATIVE AND
FRIENDS HERE.
saw SERVICE DURING The War
Helped to Guard the Pontoon Bridge
for the Confederates-ls Nov
Prosperous Real Estate Dealer In
Birmingham.

After several years absence Capt.
Thomas B. Afford, of Birmingham,
this week visited his former home
and friends in this county, and was
the guest of his war time comrade,
Col w. G. Evans, of this city.
Capt. Afford was in Gen. Pat Gle
burnes division under Polk with Col.
Evans and saw service in this :mme-
date section about the time Of the
battle of Franklin, and was at one
time stationed as a part of the guard
line over the pontoon bridge across
Duck river, along the line that was
drawn in that section where River
side is now located. The pontoons
were located at a point on the river
between the ford and the old bridge
pier near the site of the electric light
and water plant.
Capt. Afford married in this county
IN 1874, his bride being Miss Laura
Howell, daughter of Brinkley How
ell, who was during his life one Of
the most substantial citizens of the
county.
He lived here in the county a num-
Der of wears and went to Birmingham
in 1882, where he engaged in the real
estate business, and where he has re-
manned ever since. Success has at
tended his efforts in the iron city and
today he stands high in his home city
as man of integrity and good bust
ness ability and judgment.
Time has dealt gently with Capt
Afford and he and Mrs. Afford are
each enjoying fine health. He left
this morning on his return to his AL
ALBANIA home.

ARMED MEN CLEAN

TuMBLED PARAPHERNALIA INTO
A HEAP AND SET IT
AFlRE.

HOT SPRINGS, ARK, Dec. 49,
Fifteen heavily armed mountaineers,
under the leadership Of Constable
Henry Fowler, of Mountain Valley
township, marched into the rooms OF
the Ohio Club here tonight, tumbled
all of it's gambling paraphernalia in
sight down the stairway and had it
carted to a nearby lot where it was
burned. The owners and employees of
the establishment witnessed the pro-
cedure from a corner of one Of the
rooms under cover Of the rifles and
shotguns of the raiders. Fowler ex-
hibited a burning order issued some
months ago by the circuit court.
It is said several of the men who
participated in the raid were interest
ed in the gambling house which re-
Gently was forced to close. Mayor
Wolters expressed the opinion that
the raid was more the result of a
quarrel over a division of spoils than
a movement inspired by reform.

Closing out sales at a womans fur-

on and the bargains, If anything. are
better. This store Is between Twelfth

been selling all kinds of women's wear
for less than cost. In some instances.
For 80 cents and sl.19 lingerie waists of
sheer white batiste, made with lace and
insertion or embroidery may be had.
The lace Is of a good quality, and on
some of the waists there Is spray OF
hand embroidery in the front panel.
Styles vary from high to low necks with
both short and long sleeves.
The popular price for midsummer hats
seems to he $500 and the show cases
in all of the stores are showing speci-
mems of the milliners' art at this figure
Even Panamas have been reduced as
low as this and today. in a milliners
shop on near Thirteenth. I examined
a Panama at this price and found II TO
be of an unquestionably good quality.
On Eleventh street between + and @,
a woman's clothing shop has an un-

PAINTED shades are for sale In this
price. There are a few desk fittings in
brass ware and a pen wiper of bristles
in brass holder. and roll of pins in
a brass holder are among the more un-
usual pieces.
Staying at strange places in the sum-
mer is very distasteful to great many
persons owing to the Inconvenience
of strange dressing tables. mirrors, etc,
and the utter absence of so many of the
little personal touches which make one )
own quarters individual and homelike.
Travelling cases which are so arranged
nowadays so as to be able to accom-
modate almost any article necessary to
the toilet, do not make allowances for
the smaller. one might say. unnecessary
things, such as pictures, candle holders.
or pin trays. The smaller the amount
of space that such articles require, the
easier they are to take. Many of the
brass candle sticks are colapsible, un-
screw into four pieces and then the

in silk waists can be seen In a shop
on F street, several doors from thir-
teenth, which deals exclusively in cloth

of a superior quality. and will probably
! outlast other materials. A wide, sailor
collar nd cuffs. made with the stripes
running opposite to the way in which

the only trimming. with the exception
OF short tie at the neck, made OF
the same material. This waist was S.
