Mr.. Manning is planning many
new features for his theatres and the
public can look forward to plenty of
first class amusement this summer.
Vaudeville and music will be almost
regular things in these theatres in
the future and as in the past he will
continue to show the best picures and
show them first.

SHERIFF L|KDLEY SHOWS
ABILITY TO BURGLARS
Gang Who Burglarized Boz
Car Captured With Aid of
Bloodhounds.

Sheriff Starlight Lindley and his
newly acquired bloodhounds had an
excellent chance to show their abil-
ity at detective work on Wednesday
night when box car on the side
track of the w. & A. Railroad was
broken open and quantity of goods
stolen. The theft was made at about
1880 o'clock and Sheriff Lindley
was notified about one o'clock. He
took his dogs, which he recently pur-
chased with his own funds, and got
on the trail. He arrested Claude War
rem, a young white man, and the
names of the. accomplices were Sc
cured from him in a confession. He
implicated Dewey Beshers and Tom
Evans, both of whom were captured
later.
The goods stolen consisted of a
shipment Of candy to e. l.. Faw, ten
boxes of tobacco belonging to ]. w.
Hardeman and Sons, and a case of
KodakS consigned to E. l.. Stringer.
Most of the goods was recovered as
young Warren told where it had
been concealed.
Mr.. Lindley is proud of the work
done by his dogs and believes they
will be of great value to him and
the county in tracking lawbreakers.
This was quick piece CT work and
shows that all the Sheriff needs is
starting point to capture those who
think their daring will outdo the
ability of an eXperiencer sleuth.

Spring Millinery
Openings Tuesday

Tuesday was suitable day for spring
hats to bloom and they were shown in
SO many styles everybody can be suited.
Feathers, flowers, maline and Bull
garlan crepe are the chief trimmings.
One of the most admired Frenchy crea-
lions at Smith & Potts was a small
hat, turned up on one side, of deep
purple on top and straw color beneath,
with one purple rose in front and a
purple plume on one side. Mrs. Gibson
showed at Pearl Brothers a narrow
white brocade hat with a purple iris
and white one on the right side. AL
the stores have hats of straw with
loops of ribbon protruding at the back.
The stick up also continues popular
and so do shaded ostrich plumes. Nell
rose and Alice blue are both in evil
dence. Brown and yellow are also very
much used.
At Allgood and Vaughan's the hats
were varied and elegant. One especially
handsome model of black net was
trimmed with fruit and many were en-
tirely trimmed with fancy ribbons.
Plumes and feathers were also seen.
But the rest parlor and the beauty de-
partment appealed most to ladies who
love comfort. Thisplace is over Mr.. w.
A. Florence s store an disin color sheme
of green and white with foliage plants
growing in pots, 1t deserves a chapter
to Itself. Beside the growing plants
were vases of pink carnations.
At "The Fair Miss Addington and
Miss Etna Neese were showing their
pretty new hats and their elegant new
parlor was thronged with appreciative
ladies.

Wilson's Side Steb
Social Precedent
The Washington Times says:

The Washington Times says:
The subject of precedence has
troubled Washington society for gem
erations past and is still the great
bugaboo of the State Department, bat
no alarm may be felt on that score
hereafter.
The incoming of the Wilson Ad-
ministration cleared the fog on that
subject the day of the inauguration,
when the round table tea" in Dix
lie Corner" was christened at the
Shoreham Hotel
Miss Lucy Hoke Smith, daughter
of Senator and Mrs. Hoke Smith OF
Georgia, who Is destined to be the
most intimate friend of the Misses
Wilson and the most frequent girl
guest at the White House, did 1t.

near the head of the grand stairway
and not far from the music stand,
and is charmingly shut in while COM
handing view of the passing show.
AS everything in Washington IL
Just precedence, precedence, preced-
ence', as the pretty Southern girl
puts it, she solved the problem by
the introduction of the round table
system of King Arthur, who, whea
put to, to decide which, as the BRAY
est of his twelve knights, should have
the place of honor at table, ordered
a round table that all guests might
be seated more equally.
Since that day, the relatives Of
President and Mrs Wilson, and all
the Wilson family, and all the South
erners in Washington, including Ser
ator and Mrs Hoke Smith, Senator
and Mrs. John Sharp Williams, Sen
ator Bacon and others, sit about the
round table for tea. without fear
of the yexed subject of precedence
to add drop of gall to the beverage.

LIFE.

sons that can rarely or never make it, in
honesty to themselves, are among the most
unfortunate. They:do not live. but exist; for TO
live implies more than to be-. To live is to be
well and strong-to arise feeling equal to the
ordinary duties of the day, and to retire not
overcome by them-to feel life bounding in
the veins. medicine that has made thou
sands of people, men and women, well and

slowing the richest blessings, and that medi-
