Farmers who have female dogs had
better register them before the next
term of the circuit court or they will
Be indicted by the grand jury. Notice
was formally served on them this
morning by Attorney General Horace
Frierson that beginning at the May
term he would vigorously enforce the
law requiring the registration of fe
male dogs. For the reason that for
ten years no effort has been made to
execute the law, Gen. Friepson stated
that he thought that it would be un-
lair, without notice, TO begin a prose-
cution of the offenders. But at the
next term there will be no more days
of grace.
Asked what he expected to do with
the resquet of the Maury County
Farmers society to execute the regis
tration dog law, this morning Gen.
Frierson said:
"A request has been made of me by
the Farmers Association of Maury
county to enforce the law providing
for the registration of female dogs.
"As this law has been on the statute
books for many years, with no effort
to enforce it, | feel that 1t would be
IN injustice to indict owners of unreg-
istered female dogs, without giving
them reasonable time to comply
with the provisions of the law by pay
ing the tax to the circuit court clerk;
but at the next term Of the court
expect to take this matter up and
present it vigorously, so owners OF un
registered female dogs must pay the
tax and provide themselves with col
lars, without further delay, or take
the consequences"

Newest Styles in Hats for
Women Feature Soft Effects

Reports from the wholesale millinery
trade indicate that there is still a
pronounced tendency toward soft eff
fects in brim or crown or both, for
Fall. Some stiff brims have soft
crowns. There is also strong ten
dency, according to the bulletin of the
Millinery association of America, to-
ward the use of klonisky fur for edges
around the bases of tops of crowns.
The leading colors are black, navy,
purple, brown, tauqe, beige, and bor-
deaux. Velvet hats in American Beau
ty red and poppy red are worn in New
York to some extent. Only fair
business is reported to these colors,
however. Among the popular shapes
are large mushroom and sarror eff
fects in black and brown plush, with
soft, pleated crowns.

uresque "goatville" days, when squat
ter sovereignty held sway almost to the
edge of fashionable New York.
For over a quarter of century
this Landmark of Fifth Avenues early
days remained undisturbed, presenting
il recent years a curious contrast to
the magnificent residences in the i'm
mediate vicinity The prperty, stretch
ing back of the shanty nearly to Mad
ison Avenue, has never been built upon,
and early this year Mr.. Carnegie,
fearing that tall apartment houses
might arise opposite his home, bought
the land for about $1,500,000
A few years ago, when the fifth Ave-
nue. stage made their last stop at the
corner, the little shanty blossomed out
into a prosperous refreshment resort,
where sightseers could regale them
selves with 'pink lemonade, peanuts,
ice cream cones, and chewing gum.
Tenants in the neighborhood say that
the aged occupant, who never had
any difficulty in getting lease of this
valuable corner at nominal figure,
has decided to retire after twenty-five
years Of Fifth Avenue prosperity. and
the site is now being leveled for a
tennis court.
The remainder of the vacant plot is
also used for tennis courts. AS the
land is assessed by the city at $965,O0O,
it is the most valuable piece OF Man
haitian property used solely for recre-
alton purposes.
