One of the newest things in
Wall Papers is Etched
Felt. Made to do away with
the plain look of simple Felt,
and yet preserve the roughish
stippled effect that people of
taste so prize in a wall cover
ing just now. The etched"
Felt is mostly in two tones
some patterns in two colors !;
any of it has a peculiar rich
ness. IS c to $3.50 the
piece.
Another feature of wall
paper is the way woven stuffs
of almost every kind have been
simulated.
Here are Tapestries that
you might mistake for Gobe-
Inns; here are Linen effects
equal to the finest Dresden
if you keep far enough away.
Others, at soc the piece,
have the seeming of Moire
Silk-marvelous mimicry.
Cretonnes and Chintzes and
all that. cool and comforting
for the walls of the Summer
rooms, some at IS to 25c the
piece.
Wall papers of all the go
ing styles crowd the sample
shelves.
Have you been troubled to
get the right Picture Rod
Moulding? Almost everybody
has. We've been looking to
that. Here are sorts and
sorts that harmonic with the
different Papers. You need
not have another picture Rod

which is feature of our elections at

DoUGHERTY AND MACREE SAID TO
RETURNED 5000 DELINoUENTs.-The
error lists of Collectors DOugherty and
MacKee are alleged to contain 5000
names of poll taxables returned as de-
hnquents. At an average of 81. .25 the
county should have received SII, ,25O
from these 5000.
From the enormous lists it is evident
that the assessment lists were padded
by the assessors.
Allowing 5000 as bona fide delin-
quents there would still remain 5000
hctltious names. For every name that
the assessor puts upon the lists he is
allowed ten cents. If there were 5000
bogus names on the lists, the assessors
received $500 to which they were not
lawfully entitled.
This is said to be the largest delin-
quent list ever returned to the Levy
Court Morning Ne,Us.
