The decision of the jury which on

identity of charges pending and
charges dismissed, raised by the de?
fendants in the Appomattox Trus
Company cases, will have a very im?
portant bearing oh the future of those
cases. The defendants contend that j
the thirty-live charges and 525 counts,
in the famous big Indictment, alleg?
ing various larcenies of funds of the
bank, ore in substance the same as.
and Identical with, the charges alleg?
ed in prevlo?s indictment's on which
they were discharged The Common?
wealth's Attorney, on the other hand,
contends that they arc not nnd can?
not be the same. On this Issue tho
Jury Is to decide, nnd at the trial of
the issue the Commonwealth's Attor?
ney will be a witness. If the Jury
should decide In favor of the couven
tlon of the defendants, the big Indict?
ment falls, and the larceny prosecu?
tions will fall with It. If the Jury de
sides that the charges are not Identi?
cal, then the prosecutions will pro?
ceed.

Indictment with fifteen counts. In-1
volvlng the item of ll.OOo. was noil?

From nil quarters complaint I are heard
concerning the terrible rendition "t Hull
Street Just above th? trark? of the Atlantic
Coast Line The street at thl? point Is not
more than twenty fe.-t wide, hap only one
sidewalk nnd Is llnaked on t?h other aide
by a three foot ditch. A flimsy railing Is
the only protection against tJJ*. unwary go?

insufficient.

and cause accidents whleh. while not seri?

When a wagon Is backed up to th? curb
another wagon ran hardly pnss. and it la n
frequent occurrence to see a ear stopped
until a wagon can be unloaded. As this I?
the last block of Hull Street in the cor?

THE DREYFUS
SHOP FOR WOMEN1
- I
There Is a shop on Rroad Street that,
seems to have found its way to the |
very hearts of Richmond women.
In Its show-windows you may see re?
flected tho styles In vogue at the mo- |
mehl on Fifth Avenue.
That probably accounts for the]
groups of Interested misses and mes
dames one sees at all times of day and
evening Inspecting the "Style Show" j
displayed in its windows.
Even the manner of showing the
styles is '?different."
There la about it all an air of exclu
slveness. There is a delicate harmony |
of color and arrangement which subtly
appeals to the .sense of beauty and re- I
tlnoment.
And this same note of "class" pre?
vails in the salesrooms.
Shopping here Is a pleasure Indeed.
The highly trained and courteous
saleswomen seem to take pride In
showing the stock. Good suggestions,
tactfully made, often overcome knotty
problems of eolor-combinaitlons, and
solve the oft-met task of completing
the wardrobe at a minimum of expen?
diture.
Many improvements have been made
recently?all Of them tending toward
greater comfort and convenience of the
shopper.
On days of special sales. Ihe gar?
ment? are brought to the street floor,
wherever possible and grouped for
easiest Inspection
I^trge tables present the values of
i fered during these events?bargains
t which are always noteworthy and
w^ilch have done much to make famous
the name of Dreyfus & Company for
utmost in value-giving.
This brings us to the astonishing
' point about this women's stvle shop: j
I Tt Is the very opposite of hlgh
' priced.
j Its exclusive stvles are always mod-'
i erate In cost. Purchasing facilities j
j bring quality garments down to the I
I lowest possible figure, and it Is a fact
j that Dreyfus values cannot he dupli
t rn.ted elsewhere. except at higher
j prices.
Many a woman hi? started out with
the Impression tihat thla is an expen
slve store, on'y lo (lnd tha.t she. can
buy here with the greatest satisfaction,
as well ?? the greatest economy.
Here she finds the hat that charms
her with it* dthtlnctlon. Here are
the most beromlng still styles, and cos?
tumes, and gowns. tho waists nnd
blouses thai nave chic r,nd refinement, j
the dainty kimonos and dressing ]
gowns, at surprisingly mcdorate. fig?
ures.
At this shop she Is sure of satisfac?
tion. Dlttle mistakes which occur are
promptly rectified. N'o transaction Is
complete until she hn? been thoroughly
pleased
Progresslveness Is 'he keynote here
Everything keeps pace with the iatc..?
development- There if no b'-tter ex?
ample of modern merchandising than
this shop
Now all preparations are being made
for the fall openings. Every dny brings
In shipments of new stylen for ndvnn?-?.
selection. And great Inters*! seems
to ..ttneh to the models which decorate
the show window.) and throng the
showcases.
More than ever will the romtng
opening be an event of supreme Im?
portance to the women of Richmond.
Great things are promised, and there
is every probability that the Dreyfus
store will this vesr. as usual, far aur
. nasa all expectations.
