age in the bottoms, where no more
moisture is needed from now to the
end OF the season. All reports agree
that cotton Is growing finely In every
part Of the Memphis district, snd
farmers are much more-hopeful than
they were week or ten days ago.
Except in West Tennessee, where
the crop is the worst in years, the
plant is well grown and is fruiting as
well as usual. Owing to the lateness
Of the planting, however, the growth
is much greener than II should be at
this time, and the immature fruit Is
liable to more disaster from weather,
storms or worms. The first open
bale was received at the Memphis
Cotton Exchange on the 25tb inst,

A Communication Which Shows They

The following personal communi.
cation has been received from one ol
the Clarksville boys at Coal Creek
and IL published for the purpose oi
letting the people who generously
responded to the call for contribu.

their mites to a worthy cause.
Understand that the communication
was written before the boys had
heard of their friends sending them
two boxes Of goods that will weigh
nearly fifteen hundred pounds. The
communication Is as follows:
GOAL CREEK, Aug. 23.--We boys
are all in the enjoyment of good
health, but Of little else. We have a
large company, some forty men,
and rarely ever have enough to feed
them. / am sure II our home folks

hint that one from home would be
very acceptable. l write this al the

In Memory Of Little Stella Thompson,

One morning e'er the mists OF night had

Before the orient tints had fully proclaimed

An angel TO the earth came down,
Mlnist'ring TO Gods flowers.
He fitted softly thro' the garden,
Beautiful and fair,
Watering here with earthly dew,
Giving sunlight there.
A tiny dropping flower ne saw,
Bending low Its head; a.se
Then he heard q mothers moan;
"My babe my babe, Is dead"
Oh, mother heart, weep not to-day,
While yet there are heavenly showers.
Then looking up, the angel saw ss
His Masters pitving eye.
"Brlng IL home, transplant In my garden
Ere II die"
So STOPPING low he gently plucked
The fading, dying flower,
And In his a. ms be bore II home,
Where soon, by Heavens shower
Refreshed IL grew TO life, and there
More beautiful by far ~

SERGE. adapted for it, or
as gown for general wear for out doors
There is one quality of serge that is as
light and almost as cool as a cotton dress,
and pretty as are the cotton fabrics they
are not suited, as this is, to active move
ments. II they are starched they are
not graceful; if not they are too soft and
clinging and impede movements Of the
wearer.
Miss Brice is one of those pretty girls
who don't seem to know how charming
they are, and her simple and unaffected
manners make her q favorite with
young and old. She has lovely eyes,
golden hair and perfect color, and is as
plump as baby with all of baby's
delicacy Of complexion. She rather af-
fects gray, white and blue as her favorite
colors, and usually wears some delicate
pink and white blossoms at her belt. Her
health is so perfect that she is as active
as boy, while her refinement is shown
in every movement and tone of voice.
With almost unlimited wealth at her
command, she dresses In manner that
is lesson to ether young girls.
One Of her gowns for grand occasions
was made of pearl white Grape rayee,
over slip of glace silk, also white.
The corsage was pointed and had q ruff
fled Berthe of the same with puffed
sleeves. The skirt was simply hemmed,
and little rosette of blush-pink ribbon
with two long ends were fastened at
the left side of the bottom of the waist
for trimming. Nothing could be daintier
or more girlish.
Many persons seem to think that the
daughters of rich men always wear
''satin gowns for breakfast and velvet
ones for tea," but it Is not so now. The
wealthier the girl is the more she studies
simplicity in her toilets, and the "style"
is apparent only in the perfection of the
finish. / could mention twenty million
aires" daughters whose frocks are
washed and ironed o dozen times in q
season, just as yours, my dear, or mine
might be. There are times for every
thing, the wise man said, and the young
girls of our generation seem to have
taken leaf out of his book, and they
adapt their dressing to the occasion.
In spite Of everything said about the
extravaganza of the fashionable young
girls of today, know from various
sources that they do not spend one
third as much money ON their personal
adornment as they did ten years ago.
Young ladies very rarely wear any jew
elry, or if they do 1t is only such as is
absolutely necessary to fasten collars or
something similar. Jewels for the sake
of show are not worn by the leaders OF
New York styles, and it is no longer
fashionable to have such an array Of
gowns as used to be considered neces-
sary. One tailor gown, one serge or
flannel outing dress, one pretty tea
gown, say two evening dresses, one of
black lace and surah, like the illustra-
