Millinery Openings. rne weatner or late has been very unkind to the milliners, but neverthe less they have gone bravely to work and prepared for their spring open ings. We believe there has never been a fuller or more complete line of mil linery shown In Greensboro than is ex hibited this season. The styles are nobby and up-to-date, and the sight of the goods is enough to make a woman a purchaser. j Mrs. N. C. Weatherly had her open ing Saturday and Monday, and not withstanding the inclement weather, the ladies visited her store in large numbers and expressed their admira tion of the many pretty things dis played. Mrs. Weatherly . displayed good taste in the selection of her spring millinery and deserves a liberal patronage. Saturday was the opening day at Mrs. Rosa Hamner-Carter's, where the ladies were loud in their praises of the new and lovely spring styles on exhi bition. Here many things that add to woman's loveliness can be found, and the prices at which they are offered will not break the hearts of fond hus- Hbands.

She has a large and elegant stock of everything usually carried in the millinery line and her prices are reasonable. : Take Kodak a snap shot on all head aches and neuralgia 10c. . SCALDED TO DEATH. Sad Pate of a Former Resident ot Greensboro. One of the saddest accident. been called on to chronicle In a long ? time befell Mr. Will H. Branson, secre tary and treasurer of two of Durham's large cotton manufacture ibout 10 o'clock last Friday morning. ,MUU,U8 n ns death a few hours la ter. Accomnanlikfl hv r. r r -r . "J -- . v. Aia thes, superintendent of th. v.. n... ham Cotton Mills, Mr. Branson went into toe Diimn rtum t. i. . pump , which had Just been nnt i When steam was turned on the largo pipe burst, filling the room with w steam and scalding the two men In a most fearful manner. The small mom was really converted into a steam chest ' and so great was the pressure that th. door to the room could not be opened. Mr. Branson first tried to trt nt i that way. but finding thmt v. MAu open the door e ran to a window and knocked It oat with his fist. In the meantime the nreianm f h. was so great that one of the walls gave way and a hole was torn through It about five by six feet In size. This al lowed the steam to escape and Mr. Mathes opened the door and ran out. Mr. Branson had his head and shoul ders through the opening he had made in the window and was calling for help. The walls of the buildinr were. of brick and about 15 or 18 Inches thick. it tne wan. had not given war it la thought that both men would bavi been cooked alive before thev could have been rescued. Physicians and trained nurses were soon on the scene and did everything in tneir power to relieve the sufferers. The two men were burned so severely that the skin peeled off in many places. Mr. Branson lingered until 5.15 in the afternoon, when death came as a wel come relief to his suffering, Mr.' Mathes Is still living, though he Is not yet out of danger. If he does not die it is thought that he will lose his eve- tight. " Funeral services were held over the remains of Mr. Branson in Trinity Methodist church, Durham, Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The remains were then placed on a special train and brought to Greensboro, accompanied by a large number of friends, relatives and business associates, aod several ministers. The train arrived here at 4.35 and the procession moved Imme diately to Greene Hill cemetery, where the remains were interred. The pall bearers were : J. H. Southgate, F. M. Sharp, R. G. Jones, Y. E. Smith, F. L. Fuller and J. F. Wiley, of Durham; Joseph G. Brown, of Raleigh, and Charles H. Ireland, of this city. The floral offerings from sorrowing friends throughout the state were beautiful and touching tributes to the esteem In which the deceased was held. Mr. Branson was born at Cedar Falls, Randolph county, May 23rd, 1860, and was therefore In bis thirty-ninth year. He was a half-brother to Mrs. J. A. Odell, of this city, and early In life came to Greensboro to make his homo with Mr. and Mrs. Odell. He was em ployed in the wholesale and retail dry goods store of Odell, Ragan & Co. un til that firm went out of business. He was then connected with the Odell Hardware Company until about twelve years ago, when he went to Durham to accept the position of secretary and treasurer of the Durham Cotton Man ufacturing Company. A few years ago he was also elected secretary and treasurer of the company operating the Pearl Cotton Mills, of Durham. In addition to being a successful and popular business man, Mr. Branson was active and prominent In church work. He was a leading member of Trinity Methodist church, Durham,, being a steward of the church and su perintendent of the large Sunday school" He was also treasurer of the North Carolina Conference and secre tary of the board of trustees of Trinity College. While residing in Greensboro Mr. Branson was married to Miss Clara Sergeant, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. E. Sergeant, who, with three chll-. dren, survives him. They have the deepest sympathy of a large circle of friends in their hour of unspeakable sorrow. r " Though not yet fully decided, It Is probable that Mrs. Branson will make her home In Greensboro In the future, as many of her relatives and old friends li ve here. $100 Reward $100.
