The particulars of fatal shooting affray
which occurred at Sunnyside, near Skip

affair were Samuel Cole, eolored, and j. ID.

at Sunnyside Landing. Cole has been rent

Cole is lazy, quarrelsome, halfcrazy negro,

Home Love.

Home love is the best love. The love
that you were born to is the sweetest
YOU will ever have on earth. You, who
are So anxious to escape from the home
nest, pause moment and remember
this is so. 1t is right that the hour
should come when you in turn should
become a wife and mother, and give the
best love to others but that will be
lust it. Nobody-not a lover, not
husband--will ever be so tender or so
true as your mother or your father.
Never again, after strangers have broken
the beautiful bond, will there be any
thing so sweet as the little circle of
mother, father and children, where you
we're cherished, protected praised and
and kept from harm. You may not
know it now, but you will know 1t some
dav. Whomsoever you marry, true and
good though he may be, will after the
love days are over and the honeymoon
has waned, give you only what you de-
serve of love and sympathy--and usually
much less; never more. You must
watch and be weary, lest you lose that
love which came in through the eye,
because the one who looked though t
you beautiful But those who bore you,
who loved you when you were that
dreadful little object, small baby, and
thought you exquisitly beautiful and
wonderfully brilliant--they do not care
! for faces that are tairer and forms that
are more graceful than yours. You are
their very own, and 50 better to them
always than others.

THE "AMAzoSIAN SKIRT" is a new
article Of feminine attire, but has prob
ably not yet found its way to this part
of the country. A New York letter
gives the following description of this
recent article of ladies wear:
The article was conceived in London
and brought forth on Regent street by
some titled lady, and last Sunday well
known young leader in New York fash
ion appeared at o'clock and walked
from Twenty-ninth to Forticth street in
it and then took her carriage, which was
following her, and rode away to n friends
house up town. The lady had on (to
begin ut the top beau iful plush bea-
yer hat of peacock blue, trimmed with
two ostrich plumes of shaded greenish
blue. fastened in front by a shield, set
thick with emeralds, turquoise and
diamonds. She wore an English Jacket
of plush, the color Of the hat, ON which
were dozen large buttons, matching
the hat ornament, the set having been
made to order for $500. Now, here
the interest commences. The skirt was
made in two legs of rich brocade, joined
BY wedge-shaped piece Of the silk as a
ducks toes are by the web between
them. Around the bottom of the legs
and across the connecting curtains was
a plated fiounce of three OF four inches
in depth. The usual drappery fell in a
narrow space behind, and across the front
was draped a sort of apron, but the walk
was that of a biped with petticoat on.
The only garment admissible under this
new skirt is the much derided "chemi-
loon" 1t is claimed for the invention
that it gives perfect freedom to the
limbs, which is denied by the tight skirt
that ties us up in one pantaloon leg;
that ii gives the extreme lankiness so
desirable; that it is warm and light.
They quiet the legs in winter "amizon-
las, and put elder down in them.) 1t
is funny costume any way, and tack
them and rutile them rs much as you
please, there's trousery effect about
them calculated to alarm the other sex.

sweet-Minded Women.

So great is the influence of sweet
minded woman on those around her that
il is almost boundless. Ii is to her that
friends come in season of sorrow and
sickness for help and comfort-one
soothing touch of her kindly hand
works wonders in the feverish child; n
few words let fall from her lips in the
ear of sorrowing sister does much to
raise the load of grief that is bowing its
victim down to the dust in anguish.
The husband comes home worn out with
the pressure Of business and feeling
irritable with the world in general but
when he enters the cosy sitting-room
and sees the blaze of the bright fire, and
meets his wife's smiling face, he succumbs
in a moment to the soothing influences
which act as the balm of Gilead to his
wounded spirits, that are wearied with
combating with the stern realities OF
life. The rough school-boy flies in a
rage from the taunts Of his companions
to find soIace in his mothers smile the
little one, full of grief with its own large
trouble, finds a haven Of rest on Its
mothers breast and SO one might go
on with instance after instance OF the
influence that n sweet-minded woman
has in the social life with which she Is
connected. Beauty is an insignificant
mower when compared with hers.

wonnan,a Pronartv Rights.

Rv the statute laws of New York the
married woman owns all the personal
and real estate which she held at the
time of marriage, or which may come
to her by will or gift, or otherwise
She may dispose of it without the con
sent of her husband, and she has still a
rigbt Of dover in the real estate OF her
husband. She may dispose of her
property by will; she may sue and be
sued. Each State of this country has
made laws ON this subject, but they all
resemble those of New York. In Eng
land some few notifications have been
made since 1870, but substantially the
law remains the same. On the CONT
nent there is a different idea as to the
riohts of married women. In general
# NAV be said that the ancient Roman
dotal system prevails, but a communion
of property is allowed when this Is
agreed upon by marriage contract. In
France, if nothing is said about which
system is to obtain, the law presumes
that the parties adopt the commuslon
of Goods. All the property that nus
hand and wife bring into this communion
is held by them jointly, and the husband
has the administration thereof, bul
neither one nor the other can dispose o.
real estate without the consent OF both.

Southern Beauty in Atlanta.

Atlanta Cor. Cincinnati Commercisl.l
Among the thousands of citizens OF
Georgia, Alabama, the two Carolinas,
and sister States represented here IN
the largely increased attendance OF the
past five DAYS the Southern beauty has
been presant in no inconsiderable pro-
portion, and wherever found she is dis
tintive among her sex and is collective
ly the reflex of several types OF feminine
loveliness. You find her as slender
brunette, with classic features, faultless
though delicate form and flashing black
eyes; far less numerous but fully as
attractive is the enhancing and ever
popular blonde, who, while OF more ro-
bust figure and of less delicate tout
ensemble, is equally graceful and emln-
emily fitted to shine with and in con-
trast to her dark-eyed rival. There Is
another type here which a stranger Will
find prominent among the two, but
which cannot properly be classed as a
beauty. That is the blondine, whc
must be called pretty, but not beautiful
whose dignifed manner, charming pres
ence and graceful carriage necessarllyy }
add to her natural attractions. She Ii
met in a mixed throng IN greater per
centage than either of the others, anC
when seen invariably commands exten
siye and respectful comment from th'
opposite sex. just here, to close OBJ
server, there is one very pleasing ane
striking popularity about the art build
| ing which does not exist to nearly thu
same extent at any other point on the
grounds, and that is the fact that it's
popular resort for ladies of refinement
beauty and culture. Take the dark

appropriate setting to her progressing
personel. In no place can her combined

A Great Factory.

The buildings of the Sibley Cation
Manufacturing Company, at Augusta,
Georgia. will be completed in few
weeks and ready for the machinery
The main building is claimed to be one
of the finest in the country. 1t has
four stories, and is $50 feet long and
70 feet wide. These dimensions afford
a floor space of about 155, 900 feet, and
will easily accommodate 1000 looms
and 10000 spindles. 1t Is proposed
however. to begin manufacturing with
only 700 looms and 10000 spindles, to
avoid a further increase Of stock, OF
issuance of bonds or other Indebtedness
the policy of the direction being to
pay az they go. The prospective oPpor-
tunities for extension and growth, are
all that could be desired, for by adding
a wing to each end of the building, han
the size of the building itself, there
would be room for 1900 looms ana
SO, 900 spindIes, all of which can be
driven without the expense of further
work upon the water supply. The
company. which has capital stock OF
81, 900, 900, viii begin manufacturing
in January, not dollar in debt. The
future extensions and growth will follow
gradually and without interfering with
the dividends, serving as a safe and
profitable investment for the surplus
earnings.

Life and Death of Good Man.
THE LESSON.
Woodyille Republican.

Woodville Republican,
Died, on the 25th of November, at
his home, Woodville. Miss, DR.. DAVID
Holt, in the Goth year of his age, lie
was the fourth son of DR.. William and
Lucy Saunders Holt.
Born on the 18th of May, 1892, in
Bedford county, Virginia, near the town
of Liberty, and within sight Of the Peaks
of Otter, he removed with his parents in
early boyhood to Georgia. His was an en-
ergetic and useful life, and he early gave
evidenne Of the earnestness of purpose
which characterized his whole career.
In the war of 1912 he lent his aid in the
defence of his country, and served ON
the Indian frontier amid many hard
ships and great exposure. lie was
stationed at Fort Mitchell, on the Chat
tahoochee river near the site Of the pres
ent city of Columbus. He graduated IN
medicine in the University OF Pennsyl-
vania in Philadelphia in the year 1919.
The same wear after short stay with
his parents in Elberton, Georgia, he
made his way to New Orleans, riding
horseback thro' the Indian Nation. he
removed in 1920 from New Orleans
to Pinckneyville, Wilkinson county,
Miss, and thence in 1923 to Woodville.
On the 21st of July, 1925, he was mar
ried to Miss Juliet White. The cere-
monv was solemnized blythe Rev. James
A. Fox who was the first Rector OF st:
Paups. Woodville. Temperance and
purity brought their reward-health
and long life. When at last overtaken
by the infrmities of old age, happy
peace and joyous calm seemed to take
possession of him; he was patient, con-
tented and cheerful. Accordingly when
he entered the valley of the shadow OF
death he feared no evil, for God was
with him, and underneath "the ever
lasting arms" When the time of disso-
luton at last arrived spiritual and phys
ical separated without a struggle
Death came as softly as comes sleep tc
the infant. Gently his ripened spirit
passed away, to be with Christ forever,
s.having fought the good fight, having
kent the faith"
