Fr ! WATT. RBTTEW-.& CtiAT. WATT., KETTEW &CLAY. Store Closes Promptly at 6 P. Ii.;' Saturdays, 10. ?(WATT,.'^RETTHW^ THE TAILOR-MADE SUIT is still queen of outerwear for elegance [id style. In the correct new suits, as you see them at Watt's, you will notice distinct advance over those of last season. Admirable p.s these suits were en, they have evidently been improved upon. / It is clear that tight-fitting and semi-tight-fitting suits are to be strong aders in popular favor this season. A tight-fitting suit requires the skill of ie best tailors;" it is one of those things that ought to be done RIGHT, if at 1. Watt's old reputation for fit and style will be found abundantly justified y these elegant new creations. There is a distinctive difference between the "W. R. & C" and the generality of outer garments THE STYLE of the ?W. R. & C." garments is so c?reMlyili^g so absolutely fixed that it can be depended upon to possess that mo< so much desired by women of discriminating taste. ? THE MATERIALS are of a quality that will bear and preserve tne snaper liness of the garment. THE MAKING is so rigidly perfect that utmost confidence is the uni? versal feeling in the mind of the wearer. ? ^ THE FINISH is such as to cause them to be classed with those of higher price. THE PRICES are so reasonable that it makes it unnecessary^ we- might say absurd, to even consider looking elsewhere. ' '^^ We show the newest styles at $8, $10, $12, $15, $17, $18 and $20. ale of Dressmakers9 Supplies nd little things in general.

''Mrs, Peters decided to tender them and their friends a reception, and in? vited sill the colored people from the neighboring plantations. In order to induce the negroes to "spruce up," the hostess announced that she would give a c-.iko UMJvo-couple malting the neatest i and most dignillcd appearance. "This entertainment proved such a success that they were regularly held at other plantations until the craze for 'the grand march' or 'cake walk' had affected the whole South." ? it* George H.
