The Rosenberg Mercantile Co., is to be congratulated on the artistir window of their dry goods departpartment. In the first place there is a handsome front in the dry goods^ department which lends itself readily to a display of the aesthetic prin:iples of window dressing.

BEAUTIFYING THE GROUNDS AT THE COTTON MILL The Abbeville Cotton Mills have begun here what cotton mills all over he South have done or are doing; that is, industrial planning and development of the grounds, the utilization of the natural sources of beauty and the adding of trees, shrubs and vines. The work of beautifying the Cotton Mill grounds is in charge of H. L. Albing, with E. S. Draper, landscape artist of New York and Charlotte. jBoston ivy has been planted around! j the mill buildings and in the course of time these will be clothed in green. iManv trees have been planted around the grounds and along the walks and driveways, and on the school grounds. One fn+ure of the improvement of j the scho*. .rounds which will attract | attention !I1 be the rock garden, where big boulders placed there by [nature are being used to form the basis for improvement and develop-j ment. Dwarf pines and other shrubs ( are to be planted with a view to make j the garden a thing of beauty and joy j forever. With rose bushes, flowering shrubs, vines and many flowers the mill grounds will assume a far different aspect in spring, summer and fall than has been there wont in the past. Mr. Albing in speaking of Abbeville was highly complimentary. /He said that with very little work that this town could be made one of the most beautiful in the South. He spoke of the natural advantages in the way of trees, contours and shrubs already planted. With proper direction and a little care and attention in the future he painted an inspiring picture of this town as a city beautiful. He deplored the fact that American towns paid so little attention to the esthetic and contrasted condi-. tions in England and the continent (Where so much attention was paid to landscape gardening. Mr. Albing has promised to write a resume of his work of industrial developing and beautifying, bringing to bear on the subject his experience and observation in this country and Eurooe. * r A $25,000 COTTON FIRE York, March 1.?Special: Cotton valued at approximately $25,000 was totally destroyed this afternoon in a fire which partially consumed the cotton warehouses of the Hill Banking jand Mercantile Uompany at snaron. iThet fire it was said, was caused by sparks from an engine. There were approximately 2,500 bales of cotton in the burning area and it was saved only by strenous efforts of volunteer j firemen. The loss is fully covered by I. i insurance. i THE HIGH COST OF DYING KEEPS UP WITH H. C. OF L. Pittsburg.?Physicians here about not long ago raised their fees. Then the nurses demanded an increase. v The druggists, not to be outdone, lifted the cost of medicines. 1 The undertaker revised his schedi ule upward. Now the tombstone man declares he must have 20 per cent more for j perpetuating a man's memory. j "It's a hard game, this tombstone I making," declares one manufacturer here today. "Everything has gone up but our charges. We're not profiteers ike some others, though. We only ask for a person's money when they have o further use for it." / j .GHOSTS' EMBOSSED CARD BIDS FOR RINN'S $5,000; I The Tribune has received a copy of j !a letter addressed to Joseph F. i [Rinn, signed with the name of Robert' 'Schilling, of G05 Concordia Avenue,! (Milwaukee, Wis., in which the writer j ,says that he will take Mr. Rinn up on1 j 'your offer to pay $5,000 to any! ,one who can produce any message! from the soirit world." The writer says he has such a mesjsage sent to him by his spirit friends : on an embossed postal card and the j Spiritualists of Milwaukee need $5,-| 000 to enlarge their hall. \ ' The embossed postal card from! j spirit-land is inscribed with the 'names of thirty-five dead friends of Mr. Schilling His friends' ghosts; :wrote their names in the jrrooves j forming the reverse of the embossing land one signature is so tiny that no 1 microscope in the world will enable, j human eye to read it. That proves, jhe says, that a ghost wrote it, so if ;Mr. Rinn will just mail that $5,000 to I submit to further tests, the Milwaujkee Spiritualists will put carpenters . frt WArl* r\v\ fliQir Viall vicrVif flwav ??
