The Sun says: "The message
of the fraudulent President is OF
very slight account. 1t makes to
Congress no new suggestions OF
any value, and it gives the country
no information with which it was
not familiar. Leave out its brag-
cling over his policy Of pacfication
and over the things which he
claims to have done, but which he
had little or nothing to do-leave
out his financial yagaries, his
menaces against Mexico, his
Samoan project, and his maunder'
inc about eGucation-leave out
along with these, his abstracts OF
departmental reports, and the
space occupied by the remainder
will be small"

In the new beer stamps, the

Atten ion is called to the advertisement Of the
fete champetre to be given at the Carrollton
Gardens by the Ladies' Aid Society OF Calvary
Church, Prytania street, on the evenings of the
7th, 9Th and 9th inst. 1t is only necessary to
mention that Miss Emme Wilmott and Mics
Maggie stroudback have kindly agreed to assist
the gentlemen Of the Orleans Dramatic Associa-
ton to satisfy all that q visit the first evening
will prove more than pleasant. The feature the
second evening is to be the presentation OF
beautiful flag by many lady friends to the Ore
scent Rifles, formerly Company Z, O. O. W. l.,
the company that did such yoeman service in
bringing about our present happy political con.
ditioD, while the third evening is set apart for
such mirhful entertainment as only the gen.
tlemen Of the Contrsband Children (many of
whom have kindly volunteered to aid the ladies
on that occasion) can bring before the footlights
of the little theatre in the gardens. These with
the additional attractions OF pure, fresh country
air. fine music a. an abundance of delicate as
well as substantial viands, served by the dainty
hands of the young ladies, we venture to say
will ASSURE the ladies the success their laudabie
object 30 richly deserves.

The man Of fortune In Virginia usually
rises about 0 o'clocks, and breakfasts

ally consists OF tea or coffee. bread and
butter, and very thin slices of venison,
ham or hung beef. He then reposes, ii

in the coolest room Of the house, in his

his head and another at his feet, to fan
him and keep off the flies. Between IL

standing. dish. At dinner he drinks
cider. teddy, punch. port, claret or Ma

Interesting Gleanings Concerning the
Arrow Tie.

| Arrow Tie.
From the Houston Daily Telegram, May 81
| 1911
| Nor CORRECTLY sTATEp.-A dispatch from
| Houston to the New Orleans Pjcdy,nse statei
| that the Grip cotton tie was awarded the frs
prize, in spite OF the exertiops OF the agent o.
| the Arrow tie to prevent. This is not strict,
correct. The Arrow tie was ruled out from com
petition, and s not entered on the gompany's book
| on that account. 1t IL 30 well known and 80 uni
versslly used that for this reason no unknown
| competitor would have any chance when opposed
| to 1T. The Arrow tie has monopolized the pre-
miums heretofore, and it's superiority is declared
| by its exclusion from competition.
! THE ARROW CoTToY TIE.--The exigencies oil
commerce have ought revolutions in the style oil
doing business, and none Of the requirements Of
modern trade are more potential than the demand
for economy in the matter OF frelgbts. Out OF 1t
has come the Arrow cotton tie. II was an i'm
| mense stride from rope ties and tho ordinary
screw pressure for cotton ietended for shipment
to the iron tie and the steam press, that reduces
bale OF heecy cotton to mass as solid as o
block Of oak timber. OF course the demand for
the close compression OF cotton has created the
necessity for tie that will hold the compressed
mass In its reduced dimensions. Many forms Of
iron ties for baling cotton have been designed
and put upon the market, but not until the cello
brated Arrow tie made IT'D appearance had per-
fiction in this necessary article been reached.
Auo hETUW Va Hhb Deeu huJu Ed universally
throughout the cotton regions Of the South that
1t is not necessary to enter into any description
OF It,. Everybody uses II, and the only question
asked In connection with it IL, "where can the
genuine DO ~ all times procured2"
WHAT rs SAID OF THE ARROW T1E--It is well
known by the introduction and general use of the
Arrow tie millions upon millions Of bales OF
cotton have been held secure from breakage and
consequent waste, saving to the planters and
shippers Of cotton generally millions of dollars
annually. Aud many millions more, it is uDiver-
sally acknowledged by underwriters. have been
saved to their companies on cotton risks against
loss by fire and river by the general use Of the
Arrow ties. And for so great q boon, J. J. Nc
q mb patentee OF the arrow, and general agent,
have meried the respect and confidence OF the
community, and full reward OF their enterprise,
which none but the ignoble would attempt to
ignore.
THE ARROW TIE The heaviest bales of cotton
and the greatest density ever acquired by COM
pressing in this city was baled and held securely
by the use Of the unsurpassed "Arraw Tie."
