Since the Worlds Fair Chicago has
reformed, says the Philadelphia Ledger,
city councils have passed ordinances
strictly prohibiting the opening of stores
on Sunday, and there is little doubt that
they will be signed by Mayor Hopkins.
Heretofore very little attention has been
paid to Sunday in certain parts of Chica-
70, stores of all kinds, and particular
ly liquor saloons, having been kept wide
open.
Some New York and Philadelphia
firms have written President New borne,
of the North Carolina State Farmers
Alliance, that many of the foreign cotton
buyers are making complaints OF the way

Prior to 1926 all shoes made for wo-
mems wear were without heels, and after
that date all heels of that class were of
the concave patterns up to 1857. From
the earliest dates in shOemaking down to
1910 women's shoes were all "straights,"
that is to say, they were made so as to be
worn on either foot without inconven-
ience. The first set Of "rightn and lefts"
lasts we're made in Philadelphia and
bought by Daniel Silsbee, e manufac-
turer, whose works were located In what
is, or was, known as "Woodend," Lynn,
Mass.
Another man has committed suicide
by getting in .to6 1Close proximity TO- q
mule. The HA@Hnsvilie Kentuckian
say1: "Jesse Storey, prominent and
well-to-do farmer. living near the Trigg
and Christian line, not far from Roaring
Springs, died Wednesday from the eff
feots Of injuries received from mules
kicking him. A few days before he was

ing to force 1t into the pond hs received q
kick in the stomach. He was badly hurt
informally and continued to grow worse
until death resulted"
The New York Times having stated
that there were 27S, GA desertions from the
Northern army during the war the Ros-
ton Journal Indignantly replies that "the
number was only lS9,045." Only Is
good. We have not the reports before us,
but we doubt whether tho Oonisderacy
had $4,000 men in active service at any
time during the war. Lee never had
half as many in the field in any cam
paign. and Johnson did not have much
over one-fourth as many in all his Geor-
gia campaign. Over 1919 full regiments

= The old town of Appomattox is en-
tirely deserted, with the exception Of FIVE
or six families, of whom only one. that
of Methodist clergyman, Is white. A
syndicate bought up all the property
few years ago as speculation, and when
the owners got their money and signed
their deeds they moved away, leaving
their houses empty, The Court House
was burned about the same time, and q
new one was erected at the railway sta
ton, about three miles distant, where q
considerable town had sprung up. The
Mclean house, in which the articles Of
surrender were written and signed, was
purchased by the syndicate and taken to
the Worlds Fair, but for some reason
the plan was not carried out. and the
bricks and timbers are still stored in the
vacant houses in the neighborhood.
