Kazan's Millinery has cottle and it is charming. There
arc manv fresh creations in millinery that differ from all
former efforts. This spring promises t«. be a great flower
season, so say the milliners of Paris ai.d London. The
colorings known as Pastel shades are beautiful and ef-
fective. Pastel green straw, Pastel pink taffeta silk
shirred on wires, Horseshoe crown of Tuscan braid cov-
ered with clusters of June roses and Chiffon Pompons, are
some of the chaste, elegant, cultured and musical phrases
now daily heard in the ultra-fashionable millinery depart-
ment at FAdAX'S.

begin. I base asked a good por-
tion oi the farmers as to how
their acreage ot this year com-
pares ssitii that o| last and find
it to be about the same or an
: r vise 11! both as manv farm-
ers here ha increased the size
• >f then' lields. It is next to im-
possible to get ail exact estimate
of the increased cotton crop for
it is so small that I don't believe
it would exceed fifteen acres.
I can not give the per cent, as I
llave not been able to learn the
number of acres last sear or dif-
ference for this year.
