Read what others think Of the Gar
ment Cutter
Mr. Adams, tailor for the Virginia
Military Institute, says;
After over twenty years experience
in cutting clothing and teaching the
methods to Others, and in that time
having carefully studied the principles
OF every leading system among tailors
ana convinced from the nature OF
these systems, that there is none now
in use that comes in competition with
the National Garment Cutter, and
nothing attempts to cover the range
filled 10y it. Every style and every
description of garment worn, can be
cut by the plans Of the National Gar
ment Gutter. 1t is impossible to est
mate the value to the public OF such q
work. Q. ADAMS

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May This

number of the members OF the legis-
lature, and when they were called to
order at twelve o'clock there were
twenty-seven senators and seventy
four representatives.
The Moody penitentiary bill was re-
ferred to the judiciary committee and
discussed at length,
The committee finally reported it
for passage over the veto by vote of
five to four.
The senate was called to order and
the fight renewed on the old ground.
1t was very clear from the start, how
ever, that there would not be seven
teen voters for it. After three hours
of debate Mr.. Moody tried to with
draw the motion to pass it over the
veto, but the senate would not have II
that way and refused to pass the bill
by vote OF fourteen to ten as follows
For passage.
Allcorn, Apple, Barnhill, Berry, Car
ter, Cobbs, Dortch, Jones, Lamb, Long
Moody, Myers, Pyatt and Sensing.
Against-Messrs. Craighead, Crews
Mcdowell, McCorkle, Nelson, Plum

The senate then adopted a resolution
to adjourn sine die at s 80 o'clock tt
night.
Nothing was done in the house, tha

RESOLUTIONS.

Mrs. Leila Gentry Clark, who, a short
time ago, passed from the Land OF
Flowers, as we believe, to that bright
er and Gayer land where the flowers
are iadeless, was one of the seven
members who first organized them
selves into a Womans Missionary So

first Corresponding Secretary Of the
Society She was the only young
lady who at that time, and for some
time after gave evidence of interest
in the work of the society and though
she was but in the gayest period OF a
merry, thoughtless girlhood, her inter-
est seemed not to flag. She was ready
to make music at the organ or with
her own musical voice, ready to read,
to recite, to write, to work whenever
the work was appointed her. As she
grew older and the larger and graver
responsibilities Of life dawned gradual.
