CURRENT CONCEPTS.

Trines of All Sorts, Pretty and Otherwise.
 Affected by Fashionable Women.
 Belts will be much worn with summer dresses.
 New pocket-books come in the fashs ionsble tan shades seen in gloves.
 Moonstones are set in wigs for both sexes and are decidedly popular just now.
 Charms are now worn to quite an ex. tent on the Queens, as many as three being seen on one chain.
 |, Put fine china in dry place Place sheets of paper between plates. etc., to prevent scratches on the glaze or paint ing,
 Turkey-tail feathers for decorating baskets and wall pockets are made orna. mental by spotting them with gilt and bronze paint.
 A beautiful lace pin seen recently was in form of miniature parasoi, show ing stripes of blue enamel and gold, with handle set with gems.
 Waisteoats of every conceivable ma serial are now worn with street dresses made with jackets. White ones are very fashionable, and with these last appear white neckties
 Three stones of different hues set up and down on the finger, are much seen on rings and make change from the more usual arrangement of the stones around the ring.
 Very pretty and very convenient, too, are the silver nutmeg graters out in variety of designs. One similates the nutmeg as it originally appears in na- ture, and on being opened in half dis closes a grater on one side and fecep- tacle for a nutmeg on the other.
 Embroidery cottons come in all colors, but the browns, reds and blues are most satisfactory for laundrying. The French and English cottons are said to hold their colors better than do the American. The French A B c cotton is little smoother than the other cottons.
 A gold and platina ring that promises to become popular consists of six or seven very narrow rings interlocked to- gether, and presenting the appearance of ring puzzle when off the hand. This ring, however, on being slipped upon the finger adjusts itself into shape, and gives the impression of a number of fine gold and platina wires carelessly but gracefully twisted and knotted to. gether.
 There are as many grades and styles in awnings as there are in ladies dresses. There are plain white canvas ones, blue and red stripes, green and yellow stripes terra cotta and rainbow-hued. The blue and white stripes are in most general use and are the cheapest. The 'ram's-head" ring is the newest ring for gentlemen's wear. This, as the name indicates, is rams head of chased gold, the horns of which form the circle of the ring. A diamond, sapphire or other stone is placed be- tween the horns, and thus makes very unique setting at the top of the ring.
 The demand for neck ornaments is on the increase, and there are number of very pretty "collarettes, as they are termed, this season. The collarettes fit close and high about the neck. An at- tractIve pattern consists of two or more rows of bead-work linked together. There are also collarettes composed of fiat gold links set with small stones.- M F. World.

At St. John, N. B., one day recent ly, the rubber covering of an electric light wire entering store became worn through, and the wire charged with electricity the front of the store and many articles exposed in the windows. A ham of meat was charged with the current to such an extent that no person dared to move it. The fluid also burned a stick from which goods were suspend ed, and dog which attempted to enter the store received such shock and set up such howl of agony that hundreds of persons were attracted to the spot.

LOUDON COUNTY.

TRIGoSIA, June 4-Perhaps o few
items would be interesting from this
place to some Of your readers. Twill give
q brief description Of Trigonia. 1t is sit
uated on the corners of three joining
counties. Loudon, Blount and Monroe.
Two years ago there was an old log cabin
here and the land was covered with small
pine bushes; nov We have a large grist
mill, circular saw mill, blacksmith shop,
postof1cc, Masonic hall, a large dry goods
store, warehouses, church and school
house. and seven dwelling houscs-quite
a business little village. We have no
railroad nearer than Loudon or Maryville.
Either place is 1G miles from here. Ten.
nessee river runs within one mile of Tri-
gonia and steamboats, run almost daily a
greater part of the year. We have had
several hard storms here wind, hail and
rain, doing a great deal of damage in the
adjoining neighborhood.
Our genial friend Mr.. Sam Thompson
left his home at this place last Monday
for the Yellow Springs in the mountains,
where he and his family will remain all
summer Mr.. Thompson was our former
merchant here. We will miss his family
at Trigonia.
The farmers are looking forward for a
good crop of wheat this year. Corn looks
well. Vegetation looks splendid. We
have plenty of beans and peas here, but
we think the fruit crop will be q complete
failure in this part Of the country.
W. have nc sickness at present except
the whooping cough. Most of the chill
dren in the country have it.
We have had some weddings in the last
week. AT the close of the Morganton
school one of the teachers, Mr.. McMurry,
was welded to Miss Josie Anderson.

SULLIVAN COUNTY.

BLoUNTvILLE, June ga protested
Republican writing from Sullivan to
the Comet, gives away the Republican
party, as the Irish would say, entirely.
The wonder is, if he is a Republican,
and the Republicans endorse 'irrespec-
tive of parties Mr.. c. J.. st. John for
Circuit Judge, why does Republican
write to a Democratic newspaper, instead
of one of his own party papers?
Mr.. st. Johns neighbors will vote fol
him for purely personal reasons, not be
cause he is "thc peoples candidate" mol
yet because he is so far superior in quail
1cations to Col. Brown, the nominee o
the Republican party, for this we deny.
The Republican party is not so scare,
of competent men for our judicial offices
that it must turn the office over TO thu
Democrats.
This talk of not "lugging" politics
into q judicial election is q Democratic
trick to capture Republican votes,
Judge Smith whose shoes Mr.. st. John
now occupies, was a Republican. Did
our Democratic governor appoint a Re.
publican in his place? By no means. A
Democrat now fills the office, and wishes
the people to forget these things, and
elect him to an office within the control
of the Republican party.
We are tired of hearing talk of non
partisan candidates, and especially when
the favors all go one wAy--to the Demo
cratic party.
Col. Brown is a gentleman, and a good
lawyer, and the Republicans of the first
circuit intend to stick to their principles
and their party, and elect him Circuit
Judge, the 9th of August.
