Roofs Spring Opening
In Feminine Fashion.
Friday and. Saturday will be the
millmeryopeningdaysat W. P. Roof's
well known department store. Never
before have the ladies of Lexington
, and snrronnding country had such an
opportunity to satisfy their wants in
the matter of head gear. The selections
ofinillinery at this store embrace
all the latest Parisian creations, and a
glance in this department, where Miss
Brown, the charming little designer, is
busy preparing for the big event,
. would make one think of gay Paree,
London or New York.
On Friday morning the fruits of
weeks of skilful labor will flower forth
intoadazzling array of feminine headwear,
of infinitely diverse shape and
fashioning, yet all bearing the peculiarly
distinctive stamp of present
style. A glance by the repoiter yesterday
revealed the information that
this is unquestionably a season of
flowers. The edict has gone forth.
Just who issued it may not be certainly
known, unless it be ascribed to that
well-known lady, Dame Fashion, but
therecaabenodoubfc that the charmed
* circles who bow to her mandate with
the nfcmbftt iriace have afcauiesced in
her decision.
A further description of the hats
that will be on displav as Roof's would
proba&iy be out of place just at this
time. *'Suffice it to say, however, that
it will be the greatest opening in the
history of the store, and those who attend
with the expectation of seeing a
"thing of beauty $nd a joy forever,"
* will not be disappointed.

a suitable person can be secured, and
thus-the work of caring for the helpless

(Lutheran Church in 'the South, and
marks the beginning of what must
* grow into a large and useful eleemosyrmary
institution.
Ti^e establishment of the deaconess
'home and training school, cootemolated
in the gift, has not assumed definite
shape, so that an announcement as to
its location can be made at this time.

The Lexingtoq. County Corn Growers'
associiticn held an important
meeting in the court house on Monday,
President Ridgell presiding.
A large number of farmers were
present aud many matters of importance
discussed. The purpose of the
meeting, however, was to outline
plans for the corn contest in tbi9 county.
It was decided to appoint a committee
of five to solicit subscriptions
for the several prizes, and to decide
as to how the prizes shall be distributed.
The following gentlemen compose
the committee: D. F. Efird,
n.hnirman. Dr. E. C. Ridffell, W. B.
Taylor, S. E. Lowman and J. A. I
Bar re.
All men, and boys under 18 years of
age, who wish to go into the contest
for prizes, must send their names to J.
A. Barre, secretary, Lexington, S. C.,
before May 1, 1911. All who go into
the contest are required to keep a
statement of all their work.
Dr. Morgan, of Columbia, representing
the United States government,
was present and made an interesting
and instructive address on the subject
of live stock. He stressed the importance
of raising better stock and urged
the farmers to take more interest in
this ieature of agriculture.

NOT OVERSEERS.
It was stated in these columns a
few weeks ago that Clerk of Court
Snealy was issuing commissions to the I
emrprnl nvnrsppra r?f t,h*? orranfcv. As a !
matter of fact, the Clerk of Court has
nothing to do with issuing commissions
to overseers. However, he does
issue tne commissions to tne town- j
-ship roaddrspectors, and it was these
that should have been mentioned.
