The fashionable feminine umbrella is
Of blue silk.
1t IS fact that among the new bon
nets the poke is conspicuous.
9onnets are comparatively cheap this
season, imported ones included.
jet fringe is used in profusion on the
new black silk stree. suits.
Monogram cuffs and collars are Just
now almost drug in the market.
Striped grensdine will be very fash
lonable for the ensuing five months.
Blue foulard silks, trimmed with white
lace, forms beautiful toilette.
There never was time when open
work English embroidery was as popu
lar as now. The patterns were new ten
years ago. .s..
Chatelaine bags become more and
more fashionable as the season advan-
ces. They are very ornamental when
sensibly trimmed.
Dresses of black guipure net, to be
worn over silks, are exceedingly hand
some. They require very little trim
ming.
A new dress materia, is called Mexi-
caine 1t is silk woven in square mesh
es like canvass. 1t is shown in all the
new colors
Lace sashes are something new
They are of Cluny and Guipure and
lined with brilliant silk to keep them
spread
Instead of flowers for face trimming.
some of the new bonnets have a uuil
ting of illusion. The change is rather
a poor one.
Leather on the bottom of street skirts
is failure. 1t cracks, collects consid-
erable dirt, and cuts through the dress
material
Artificial flowers sewed on wide
band of black velvet is worn about the
throat by the fashionable bellies as a
necklace.
For full dress occasions kid gloves
are worn by the ladies' with deep gaunt-
lets of black velvet with stylish effect.
The babies sashes are becoming wi

tell which is dress and which is sash.
Ve.vet already looks hot and heavy
These who invested in velveteen un

Tuile berthas are fashionable for

be made over foundation of stiff lace
neatly faced.
They are drapiug the polonaise very
gracefully, but rot one girl in ten will
tell another how she does it. This is
human nature.
Small silk bows are worn in the hair
on the left side and also at the back of
the head amid the cunning little curls,
In wraps there are several new styles,
one or two Of which are handsome. -
All are caught up curiously at the back.
Some of the basque waists of spring
suits are made without any seams at the
back and none to show on the sleeve.
Ladies' travelling cloaks for summer
are made of brown or huff linen. with
deep capes and skirts very full and long.

Learn 10 Use Both Hands,

Men have written with their toes and

things in which it seems to excel, except
when occasionally helping its big broth

in hitting from the shoulder in prize

The left hand is always too pretty to do
any work. Ladies show off its lines OF
beauty while delicately resting their

Let poor fellow have his right hand

a profound sensation was produced
in this place on Non iav last,b the sud.

lie had been apparently in the enj,y.
mfAt Of his usual health up 70 the hour
or one O'Clock, w'lea, a, Il WIS walking
along the street, near Mr JONES store,
he was struck by ptralvsis. Ha pro

Arriving at home he seemed to bright.
en- up. talking with those present, and 1T
was hoped and believed that the attack
would NOT soon, At least, prove fatal
But in about two hours he was visited by
second stroke, which totally prostrated
him. In an hour after this he died, sur
rounded by large number of sorrow
ing friends.
Mr.. HUNTER was born in Alexandria
Virginia, December 10, 1908 He came
to this comfy in 1917, and it is doubt.
ful if he leaves behind him any who has
50 long rcs,ied in our county.
In early life he was cabinet-maker
but turned his attention 10 the law, in
which profession he ranked among the
foremost in Eastern Ohio. Before his
physicsi powers were impaired, he was
distinguished for his ability as speaker
II he hal any equal in this respect he
certainly had no superior in This part o.
the State.
He served this district two terms III
Congress creditably TO himself and tc
his constituents. Fine speaker as he
WAS he rarely used his talents in tha,
body, believing as many Others do, tha
most Of the speeches made there are /:
waste of time.
For over forty years Mr.. HUNTER wa
member of the NJ. E. Church, faithful
to his professions, and active and zeal
Gus in every means employed for the
moral and religious elevation of society
Of his sincere piety there could be nc
sha low Of doubt, nor did he entertain s
dozbt of his acceptance by his Divine
Master.
Death had no terrors for him. The
writer Of this has heard him often, ant
especially within the last few months, say
that while he was willing to live, he wa:
equally as willing to go hence whenever
he might De called.
Mr.. HUNTER took a warm interest ir
the welfare of young men, counselinG
and encouraging them. Al, who were
about him felt that in him they had
valuable friend, and many of them at
tribute to his salutary influence mucl
OF their success in life. Those who
grew old with him will scarcely feel hi
loss more deeply than will the younge
ones who looked to him almost as to
father.
WILLIAM F. HgNrER is dead! Thes,
words convey a feeling of profound scr
row to thousands of hearts. His mem
ory will be cherished as long as that O

Norton, grappled as in death struggle
Eckstein held large bowie knife GOV
cred with blood in his right hand. Nor

chambers discharged. There is no liv
ing witness of the terrible affair.
