Fashion and Finger Nails.

It Is entirely out of fashion to have the finger nails glisten like isinglass or q birds talons now and the patron of q manicure who leaves the nails too high lypolished resorts to warm water and a nailbrush to remove the superhuous gloss, and the only desirable service the manicure can render is to rid the base of the nails of the encroaching and uH- slightly skin and to cut and file them to D perfect oval, for tho pointed shape is regarded as decidedly vulgar. A slight polishing with chamois skin without salvo or powder is quito sufficient to i'm. part Q desirable lustor.

Why the Dial Has Sixty Divisions.

We have 60 divisions on the dials of our clocks and watches because Hip parehus, who lived i'll the second cen tury before Christ, accepted the Baby lonian system of reckoning time, that system being sexagesimal. The Baby lonians were acquainted with the dec imal, but for common purposes they counted by "sossi" and "sari, " the 'sosso" representing 60 and the 'saros" 60 times 60-3, 600 From Hipparohus that mode of reckoning found its way into the works of Ptolemy about the year 150 4. D.. and on that authority it has beeu perpetuated to the present day. St Louis Republic.

THE COTTON CROP.
tMemphis Gommereial.)

The price of cotton is very low, but the crop is very large. In the spring when nature is in bounte- ous mood, and the fields give promise of extraordinary harvest,
 the farmer is happy; in the fall, when it is found that nature has kept her promise, but that the price is low, the farmer feels discouraged The question that recurs is whether it is better that there should be short crop with high prices than full crop with low prices. We think the latter better for the country, though the happiest condition, of course, is an immense crop at high prices.

James C. Brown.

james G. Brown died at his late
residence on High street, on last
Tuesday, July 81, from a compli-
cation of organic troubles. Fun
eral was preached at the residence
Wednesday afternoon, by Elder
w. t. Tibbs, assisted by Rev. Ev-
erette Gill, and he was buried in
Machpelah Cemetery.
Mr.. Brown was born in Bourbon
county, September 30, 1929, and
was married in 1857 to Miss Kate
Sydner, who with two children, a
son, Martin, and daughter, Miss
Fannie, survive him. ..
In the early part of his life he
was book-keeper in some of the
leading stores of Paris, and in '63
and '64 was Deputy United States
Collector under John j. Ander-
son,
He was an eX- confederate soldier,
and truer soldier never shoulder
ed gun. He came to this city
from North Middletown in 1881,
since which time he has acted in
the capacity of book-keeper for
some of our leading merchants.
He had also filed the place of De-
putty circuit and county clerk at
different times. He was an honest
man, quick to resent an injury and
just as prompt to forgive a wrong.
With his family and friends he
was kind, affectionate and true.
He was member of the Christian
church. OF Mr.. Brown it can be
sincerely said, his life was an open
book free from any concealment.
His family have the sympathy
of this entire community in their
deep sorrow.

Alabama Election.

An important State election took
place yesterday, and the result is
awaited on all sides with deep inter-
est. The bitter nature of the cam
paign has caused a number of TRACE
dies, and it is feared that serious
troubles may ensue at the pollsin many
localities. A Governor, Secretary of
State, Auditor, Treasurer, Superin-
tendent of Education, Commissioner
of Agriculture, Attorney General, a
Legislature and in several dis
tricts Criminal Court Judges are to
be chosen. The fusion ticket, headed
by Kolb and Endorsed by the sore-head
Democrats, Populists and Republicans,
is reported to have received substan-
tial financial assistance from the
Republican managers of the East,
who hope to break up the Solid South.
Kolb, however, has estranged the
negro vote by his course, including
his championship of the cause of the
IawIess miners who have been guilty
of so many criminal acts of late,
notably the massacre of negro miners
at Birmingham, and Col. Oates, the
Democratic nominee, expresses him
self as being certain of victory.

WATER WORKS.
The Plant Will Be Completed In
Time to Comply With the
City Contract.
Delay Unavoidable, But Work
Will Be in Full Blast In
About Ten Days.

We are in receipt of a letter from
Mr.. j. B. Reed, of the firmof Stroh,
Conrad, Reed d Company Of the
Mt. Sterling Water Works, Con-
struction Company, of Sunbury,
Penn, of which the following is an
extract:
II regret the stopping of the
work on the plant, but it was una
voidable. 1t will be but a very
short time until every thing will be
fixed all right and the work pushed
vigorously to an early completion,
having it completed in time to COM
ply with the contract of the cityand
the Mt. Sterling Water Works Co.
We expect to have the pipe on the
grounds within the next ten days
and representative will be on the
grounds in few days to settle up
all claims against the company and
put things in motion. We regret
that any of your people should
have become frightened. They
will get everything due them in a
few days. We will have the
changes ready for the bonds next
week and want the issue struck off
right away. Should you know Of
any one getting uneasy in regard
to their claim against the company,
you can give them positive assur-
ance that the works will be in full
blast within the next few days and
everything made satisfactory to all
concerned.
This is good news, and has the
business ring to it. We are salts
fed the company have done the
very best they could, and that de-
lays have been unavoidable, and
here we would say that contracts
as large as this, always have their
Instructions which take time to
overcome.

SYCAMORE STREET.
Should it Be Extended to Winn
Street /?
And Should it Have a Railroad
Grade

For more than four years such a
proposition has been under considers
ton. 1t is true that the city has got
ten along without the property which
would have been opened up by such
an extension, but what would it have
been had this property been open ?
When it was first spoken of there were
thirteen persons who wanted building
lots and who would have built resi-
dences at cost price averaging not
less than $4,000 each, or $4,000, which
would have been circulated among
our working men, who would have
used it W it'll our divers business men,
and besides this the $4,000, together
with the other lots which would have
been laid off, would have been source
of revenue to the city, hence it would
have been wisdom to have opened the
street then. AT this time there is not
so great demand for building lots,
but we know of five pei sons who desire
building lots, three of whom would
put up improvements at cost of not
less than SIS, 900, and the other two at
a cost of 50 800, making the aggregate
amount for circulation say $40, 600, up
on which taxes would be levied.
Again. we ask the question, Would
it not be business TO open this street
now? Another thing which is of in
terest TO the city, and reason why the
street should be opened now, is that
Mr.. Bigstaff proposes to convey to the
city 80 feet from the present terminus
of Sycamore to VIM street, TO widen
Winn street Is feet, and also to convey
TO the city Vine street, running through
his property east and west, the con-
sideration being the grading and mac
adamizing of said streets. Any bust
ness man would say that it would be
mountaineering not to accept such a
proposition when it is fact that much
less grounds have cost the city iii actu-
al money almost as much as grading
and macadamizing these streets.
Again, the cost of constructing
street at this time with free metal and
laborers anxious for employment
would be much less than it may be
again for years to come. In the face
of all these facts it is good policy for
the streets to be opened now.
AS in regard to the grade, it is al
most useless tor us to speak. Our
present streets are living illustrations
of the individuality of poor grad3,
1t requires more metal to keep the
streets in repair, we are continually
changing grades at additional cost, and
besides they are unsightly and lots To-
Gated on them are worth less than
they otherwise would be. No person
would prefer lot on a poorly graded
street to one on railroad grade, even
should it cost the price of the lot to
grade the street. We believe that
City Council will carefully weigh all
these matters and will now open the
street according to the proposition now
before them.

are apparently closer together in

vorable for a satisfactory settle
ment. Those who were in posses
sion of facts concerning their work
ings had expected an agreement
would have been reached by las4

1t is expected that an agreement
however will be reached before the
middle of the week.
