BEAUTY or FORM IN OUTLINE
OF DRESS AND HOW TO OBJ
TAIN IT,
Something for Dress-Makors to
Study and Customers to I'm
=. derstand. il''n a.

That there is such thing as beau
ty of lines and perfection in proper
ton in dress, but few people realize
until they have given the subject a
little thought. We are making great
progress in all the arts and sciences
and our knowledge upon nearly every
subject is constantly increasing, but
we lind that dress making as. an art
is sadly defective at that those, who
are having their dresses made and
paying big prices are bitterly COM
planning of the result they often get.
II is q great vexation to buy fine ma
terial and have it made without due
regard to correct principles or with
out an eye to the beautiful
That dress makers are improving
in their methods there is no doubt,
but, that the masses of the people are
gaining more in ideas and knowl-
edge OF what is proper to wear and
how to wear 1t is also true.
No one factor has had so much 10
do with this agitation and uprising
in public sentiment as has the Ma
tional Garment Cutter, and many
dressmakers of wide reputation in
the North owe a larger amount of
their success and popularity to the
use of this system than to anything
else.
There is beauty in style, a perfect
ness in proportion of ono part to an
other, an ease of fit and gracefulness
in the curves and outlines of the GUS
toms cut by the National Garment
Cutter that it is impossible to pro-
duce by any other known method.
Dressmakors in many parts Of the
country realizing these facts have
hastened 10 use them and their Gus
toners instead of sending their fiuer
dresses to distance are having them
made by homo dressmakers and get
ting the desired results.
Many ladies in Ilopkinsvlllc send
away and have all their best work
done from home. but after this we
hope TO see 1t different. Our home
dressmakers should learn If they have
not already learned, and do the best
work that it is possible to do and
then our wealthy citizens should pat
ronize them. alH
That dressmakers in the south are
not up to the standard 1t should be or
that II is in some other parts of the
country will not be denied, but now
that the feeling has been aroused up
on this subject, let home dressmakers
learn TO do this best work and let the
citizens give them proper patron
age and encouragement after they
have learned.

Col. Foard's Project.

A number of citizens met Col.
, FOard at the Commercial Club rooms
to hear him talk his railroad scheme,
Friday night The meeting was or
ganized by electing E. p. Campbell
Chairman, and Ii. II. Alternately
and Homer Prince Secro.aria5. Col
Foard stated substantially what has
already been given 10 the public. lie
wants to build line from Hopkins
vile 10 the Tennessee river, ultimate
ly to be extended cast and west, and
asks 100000 of Christian aud $780,
600 of Trigg county to put into the
enterprise. This money is 10 be used
in the actual work of construction
and to be paid 10 Col. Foard on the
order of a board of commissioners
appointed by the counties as the
work progresses, that is, when a CIV
en- amount of road has been built our
people are 10 pay that much, and SO
on TO completion.
A citizens committc, consisting of
L II. Hopper, +. b. Bassett aud E.
G. Calls, was appointed to look into
this and other railroad projects and
also to try and get formal release
from the o. V. contract, so that we
may be unfcttercd in our negotia-
tions. The meeting then adjourned
subject TO the call of this committee.
, We do not wish to pronounce
judgement on any Of the plans being
thrust al our people, but we do moi
hesitate to say that Col. Foard's
scheme is not as desirable as others
we have seen. There is one good
sign about this meeting, however, 1t
was. 'citizens meeting" In all
these matters the people should be a
unit. There is danger of parties
interested in these various enter
prises creating (unintentionally per-
hapa) factions to carry out their
views. Weknow our people are will
ing to do the proper thing for road,
aud we should guard against the
clashing OF whims on the part of
champions of contending schemes.
Let us take one at time, sift it to
the bottom, and if it won't do, let's
write NO GOOD OH ii in big letters.

The Devil Fish Described by
Hugo

Is not more tenacious monster than msla-
ria, whether it rakes the form of chills and
fever, bilious remittent, ague cake or dumb
ague. Like the octopus of the story, it
clasps the victim in its tenracule and folds
him closer and closer in a horrible embrace.
Attacked with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
however, 1t gradually relaxes its tremendous
grip, finally abandons it, and the quondam
sufferer, liberated at last, rejoices in the
sense of new born freedom engendered by
the restoration of complete health. Dys-
pepsia, too, and constipation, those old and
remorseless enemies of the human family,
give ground. and are finally driven from the
field by this Napoleon of remedies, the great
est, the purest, in the family pharmacop9ia.
Rheumatism succumbs to it; so do kidney
troubles. The nerves, when overstrained,
regain quietude and vigor by its aid, and
the ability to rest TRANQUILITY and eat With
zest are increased by it. Resort to 1t in
time and avoid unnecessary suffering.
