tirely different than last season. The
Johnny Coat that was popular this
winter is the Coat that will have
the big run this season. These are
Coats that are made forty-fve inches
long and many of them have the
round and cutaway fronts, and you
will find among these early spring
models some OF the most nobby mod
els you have seen in long time.
The checks and broken plaids will
be very good, in fact there are a
quantity OF extra good models in
the cloths.
The light colored cloths, with the
fine pencil and fancy woven stripes
will be very popular.
The wool bedford cords will be
made up in the plain tailored Coats
that are lined throughout. These
will be models that will be leaders.
The long Coat will be used in the
plain tailored models, and we can give
you some of these values in Coats

TRESTLE WORK ON
ROAD IS RESUMED
G. c. & p, FORCES ARE NOW PRE-.
PAIRING FOR TRACK LAYING
AT BUTLER'S.

Trestle work on the Georgia Coast
and Piedmont extension, which was
suspended several days ago owing to
the fact that the supply of piling had
been exhausted, has been resumed
and rapid progress was made during
the past few days. The work has
been going on at Generals island
near Darien, and the big trestle
across that portion of the Altamaha
river will be completed within a few
weeks
large construction force is now
engaged on Buffers and it is expect
ed that by the end OF the week the
work of placing the rail in position
will begin at that point
Officials of the road are unable to
state just at this time whether or not
they will be able to operate the first
train into Brunswick on July Fourth.
which was the original plan, as there
has been two or three unavoidable de-
lays. 1t is stated that very little
work remains to be done, and, while

DAR|EN TO HAVE

BILL TO BE INTRODUCED IN LEG.

RIGHT TO VOTE.

If bill introduced at the coming

Darien will, for the first time since it
was incorporated years ago, have reg
ular city elections, at which a mayor
and other officials will be elected by
the people.
Darien, as is we'll known, has new
er held city election. The mayor of
the city has always been appointed,
as were the other officials. This con-
dition was brought about years ago
by the fact that a majority of the
voters of Darien were negroes, and
therefore if an election was held and
the city officials duly elected, they
would have all been negroes. The
only way to overcome this predica
ment was to have a special act pass
ed giving the governor the authority
to appoint the mayor. But the white
voters are now in the majority, and
after the present year the little city
across the Altamaha will hold annual
elections for the nominations of a
Mayor and council
