one to three ruf1lcS and several tucks, all
neatly made and Of a good quality, can be
purchased ready made from 50. SO to SIS
These arc really very handsome skirts.
There are others which have numbers of
ruflcs composed Of valencicnnes or point
dc paris lace, and these naturally cost
more, but then again n neat and prettily
trimmed skirt can be purchased for q dol
lar.
Few ladies now make their own under
garments, as the ready made garments are
really cheaper than the materials at retail,
and women are giving their time to chari-
ties Of various kinds and to "higher Gull
ture'' and lots of other things, and they
feel that it is a waste of precious time to
sew them. What the poor sca1nstrcsscs get
for the neat and tasteful labor they put on
these undcrgarments I do not like to think
of. 1t might possibly be worse for them
If they didn't have any work at all, and
then again it might not, for they could die
altogether then n not live along half
starved, as they now do. We thought
when sewing machines were invented that
they would so tighten tho labor of the
mothers that they would make a pasti1nc
Of their family sewing, but in some strange
fashion the matter has adjusted itself in
the poor women doing all the sewing and
getting next to nothing for it.
I would not have mentioned this if I
could see where women have found time
to be better wives or mothers On account
Of the emancipation from the family sew
ing" I do not even see that they arc any
traer gcntlewomcn than were our grand
mothers, who not only sewcd but spun and
wovo the garments they made. They read
o few more books, but not the one book Of
oil. They spend their strength in ridicu-
lous exercises in order to keep III health
when half of that expenditure of time and
strength would keep the modern woman
out of mischief and her children, too, if she
devoted it to her home. She has her dresses
made, her coats, hats and undergar1nents;
she buys her husbands garments all ready
for him to put On and takes special pains
to get each and every one with all buttons
and fastenings driven through and
clamped on the other side.
Sure enough, there is another side to the
picture. 1 do know at least one little
mother who makes not only her own but
her daughters clothes. She always looks
like a pink herself, and her daughter like
any other sweet smelling flower you may
wish to name. The last time I saw her she
was walking along taking sharp little men
tai notes Of the things she saw in windows
for future reference. She had on q pearl
gray bedford cloth dress, made with a
plain five gored skirt. Around the bottom
there was what II might call alounce of
the same, cut on the straight. Around the
whole skirt were three bias bands Of moss
green velutina, ending in butterfly bows
in front. The waist was quite plain, with
a simulated jacket of silver and green bro
cade. The sleeves were double puffs and
the forearms of the brocade.
Her little daughter had a cloak reaching
to her ankles of the darkest shade of gray
porcupine velutina, laid in box plaits all

At Drury's Bluff in 1864 his right arm
was shattered by a Federal bullet. The
arm has ever since been carried helpless in
q sling.
After the war he kept a store and studied
law and was admitted to the bar in 1868.
In that year he was elected a Democratic
member Of the legislature from Tyrrell
county. He was made speaker Of the house
IN 1874. He was q member of the consti-
tutlonal convention of 1875 and in the
year following was elected lieutenant gov

cry day a black taffeta or glace silk makes
a useful and nice petticoat, and where one
has a silk of some other quality it can be
made to fill all the requirements by setting
taffeta frills and lace around the lower
edge.
The main advantage of the silken under
wear is that it sheds dust so easily and
therefore keeps clean SO much longer than
white skirts. The very best dressers wear
the silk skirts on the street and white ones
in the home, and the more these are deco
rated the prettier they are. Hamburg edg-
ing, now being done by machine, brings
embroidery down to such a low figure that
few women fail to use it on their under
garments. The Russian embroidery is
very much liked this year, and tlooks al
most like lace, being Of a very rich open
pattern. Embroidered skirts with from

Ex-Governor Jarvis Has Long Been Promi-
nent In North Carolina Politics.
Ex-Governor Jarvis of North Carolina
seems to be the natural political legatee Of
the late Senator Zebulon Vance. When
Vance left the governorship for the United
States senate in 1879, Jarvis, who was then
lieutenant governor, was advanced to the
vacant chair. Now he has been appoint
ed to the seat in the senate which was re-
Gently vacated by the death of Mr.. Vance.
MIR. Jarvis is d man whom the people of
the Old North State delight to honor. He
is a self made man, too, and has struggled
upward from an oppressive poverty. He is
the son of a Methodist minister and was
born at harrisburg Jan. Is, 1886. He was
reared on a farm and worked his way
through Randolph and Macon college,
graduating in 1860. He served through
the war in the Eighth North Carolina reg

The New Bank Building.

The new bank building will be Il
model of modern architecture and
will serve as an imposing structure,
not only to beautify and adorn the
town, but also to serve the practical
purposes for which it will be erected.
The plan was made by our towns
man John +. Stettler, who deserves
great credit for the unique design.
On the second floor will be four of
fees with consulting room attach
ed to each, and Hall 10 #. by ~ it.,
with an ante-room attached designed
for secret society room. The cor
rider on this floor will be provided
with light shaft from the roof.
On tho first floor the entrance and
vestibule will be at the corner. The
banking Office, vault, and Directors
room will be along Railroad Street on
the East side of the building. A
store room and Office designed for
the Post Office, will be on the West
side of the building. The letting for
the structure will be held on the 25th
of this month. Plans and specifica-
tions can be seen at the present bus.

Portfolios, l2xlG inches. Each of
these Portfolios contains sixteen of
these splendid scenes. This series
of pictures is made up from "The
Soldier i'll the Civil War, published
Mt $1,000, which probably has had
the largest sale of any work of it's
class, which is indicative of it's cnor-
nous popularity. They are from the
celebrated Frank Leslie's Illustrated
Newspaper which can not be had at
any price. These War pictures illus.
trate and supplement any History of
the War, and they are the only War
pictures which reproduce actual bat
ties as they were seen by the artist
on the spot.
No photographs of the War were
ever made, and the modern photo.

Pictures present the actual battles in
their exact surroundings, as is testi
fled to by thousands of eye witnesses.

Crookedness in the Perry County Bank.

No new facts have developed
since our last issue that give any
brighter outlook to the New Bloom
field bank wreck, but incidents come
to light that tend to show that the
last week during which the bank
was open was used to the disadvan-
tage of depositors.
The report that men were in the
bank nearly all night following the
Saturday on which the bank closed,
and that they were seen on the corn
er near the bank at o'clock Sunday
morning seems to be well authenti-
Gated, aud if correct gives presump-
tive evidence of crooked work of
some kind.
The list of widows and orphans
that have lost their all, grows larger
and the infamous fraud that has
been practiced upon this community
shows out in stronger light.
The number of money packages
that had been sent from this bank
for several weeks has been so great
as to attract the attention of the ex-
press messengers on the Middle
Division OF the Pennsylvania railroad
and caused them to make remarks
and wonder what was going to hap
pen.
Newspapers in various parts of
the State are expressing their as.
tonishment that some steps have
not already been taken to clear up
the mystery by an arrest. Bloom

House editorial in our last issue.
Some uncertainty prevails as to how
the expense of running the almshouse
should be divided. This should be
adjusted by the Overseors of tho
different districts in n Joint conven-
ton. We suggest, however, that the
expenses be divided among the dis
tricts in proportion to the number of
paupers sent by each district, max
ing due allowance also for the amount
of help rendered.

of the oldest, if not the Oldest, house
in Middleburgh. A house was built
in 1909 on the corner now occupied
by w. w. Wittenmyer's store. That
house stood 80 years. How long
the Bower house stood no one knows
accurately, but it stood more than
a century,as it was built long before
the other house mentioned above.
The house was originally erected a
mile west of town and long years
ago moved to the site where it has
been standing. On Monday morn
ing Mr.. Smith began removing this
historic building. The large beams
are of the best material, clearly
showing that wood was plentiful at
that time. No doubt this was quite a
