What to Wear.

Attention to a few general rules would
prevent many strange appearances. For
instance, woman should never be
dressed too little, nor girls too much;
nor should a woman Of small stature at
tempt large patterns, nor bad walker
founces; stout threats should not carry
feathers, nor high shoulders shawl.
From the highest to the lowest there Is
not style Of beauty with which the
plain straw hat is not on the best Of un-
derstandings. 1t refines the homeliest
and composes the widest; it gives q CO.
quottish young lady a. little dash Of do
murement, and the demure one a slight
touch of coquetry; it makes the bloom
ing beauty look more fresh and the pale
one more interesting; 1t makes the plain
woman look, at jail events, a lady, and
tho lady more lady like still. Leisure

Citizens in and near the west city
limits are complaining loudly about
the boy and gun nuisance. 1t is I'M
bearable. At all hours of the day
some idle boy, or group of boys fire
around recklessly hitting chickens,
houses, people or nothing with equal
indifference. Some very respectable
parents have no idea what intolarable
nuisances their boys are to other peo-
pie, and it would be we'll for them to
enquire how their boys spend their
time. Actually several houses have
been hit, and some shot fell at the
feet of quite an old gentleman, fired
by these thoughtless Nimrods. Some
hoodlum with more powder than sense
has even been firing IN the city limits
on the Sabbath day, much to the dis
gust of the peaceful residents around.
Ii the parents of those awful boys
cannot stop it, some means will be
adopted by which the suburbans can
have peace. The impudence with
which the marauders tramp through
gardens and even yards and fire close
to houses, knowing that ladies only
are at home during the day, is almost
incredible. Tramps are preferable to
small or large boys with guns, and
little discretion

Qualities of Wood.

According to Professor Sargent, the
strongest wood in the United States is
that OF the nutmeg hickory of the Ar
kansas region, and the weakest Is the
West Indian birch. The most elastic is
the tamarack, the white or sheilbark
hickory standing far below it. The least
elastic and the lowest in specific gravity
Is the wood of the Ficus aurea. The
highest specific gravity upon which In
general depends value as fuel, is at

The Road Question.
Editor News

Inc HOao (ZueeJlOn.
Editor News:
Your issue of the 18th contained
an article over the signature Of Oh
upon the Important subject of good
country roads. | am glad to see tho
subject still agitated as the welfare OF
every citizen of the county is involv-
ed, | will mention certain facts as ad-
mitted, viz a defective road law, the
want of proven material at rosona-
BILE cost, a positive plan to avail our
selves Of such material as nature has
provided for the black land, ana last,
lack of private enterprise sufficient
to test some of the plans suggested.
will supplement the above by call
ing attention to several enterprises in
embryo, the success of each of which
depends upon access The sugar man
ufactory for one, when we remember
that to get the value Of one bale OF
cotton in sorghum to market will re.
quire eight or ten loads or trips, and
sorghum will not wait indefinitely for
market like cotton. For a creamery
the supply must be absolute and regu-
lar, and for canning factory like con-
ditions, and for all roads that are
available at all times. Nature not hav-
ing provided we must shake off the
moss and make these roads for our
selves.
am not going to suggest but will
refer to two of the plans put forward.
l must take issue with "H." upon his
plan of thing. While admitting the
plan as good for retaining swamp or
wet lands, fear it would be failure
as applied to roads in a soil like ours
where percolation is so low, and to go
upon the roads after rain would be
followed by just such conditions as we
now have, and the success OF any OF
the above mentioned enterprises de-
mands ever day use. The depth sug-
gested, 3 IL feet, renders tiling i'm
practicable, as in many localities later
al bitches for long distance would be
required for the flow of the road water.
al" condemns grading and agree
with him, but grading with side bitches
and laterals where unavoidable, and
your grade covered with some material
to prevent contact with the soil Of the
teams and wagons, is the most feasa-
BILE plan. 1t has been suggested,
through the Day, that. baled hay or
otbor ,notor;,l he used n,ho iJao
seems so preposterous, no one has had
the termidity to endorse the originator.
l have thought much of it, and have
convinced myself that it is about the
nearest solution suggested, and the
figures given, as to cost, are about cor
ret. This plan gives us an elevation
by grading which is increased by the
material used, the porosity of which
gives rapid and absolute drainage. The
question of durability can be deter
mined only by experiment, and l am
convinced that result will be attained
that will surprise us all.
Time will be gained by experiment
ing. with various plans, 10 as to be
to avail ourselves of any ia
vorable legislative action, and not have
to consume time in trials of methods
after law is passed. hope, Mr..
Editor, this road matter will not end
as some others have, call talk and no
cider" 1t certainly is paramount to
all other propositions now before US, in
fact, the success of all others absolute
ly depent upon it. Yours for
PROGRESS.

Memorial Day.

The whirring wheels in mill and

brook is quiet that passes by the mill !;
and from the clouds there droppeth
(or perchance from angels eyesD the
plying tears of Nature on the grave
where our soldier lies. His watch and
march are over; his battles fought and
won; no trumpet sound can reach him
except the heavenly one; his deeds are
writ in marble; his fame shall last in
song, and down the coming ages his
praise shall roll along.
IT'S well that busy marts Of trade
should idly stand to-day, and memory
with her myriad tongues, our thoughts
and passions sway; and children see
what loving thoughts we give to these
brave men WHO saved to us our coun-
try, though they died in prison pen.
Place flags and flowers above them,
sing dirges soft and slow; tell of their
deeds in burning words and with true
passions glow; for never men fought
grander or had grander cause for fight.

always right.
But as we stand about the q ayes of
those who passed above, let not the
tongue be silent, give the living words

but, oh. for them should still be giv'n
our hottest praise and song. Their
steps are slow. their heads are gray,
theil eyes are weak and dim; soon their
Great Commanders signal will bid
them march to Him. But stiTl with us
'hey linger; while still our words they
hear, be theirs the place of honor
whose lives we hold most dear. Wait
not till over them are thrown the
grave-yard's seed and sod; but now
while eye shall answer eye, and heart
with rapture thrUb. give them vour
