A Terrible Affair.

Near Taylorsville, N. c., few days
ago. while threshing wheat, little boy,
who was cutting the binds, made a mis-
take and cut the feeder across the back of
the matchmaking an ugly wound. Filled
with excitement and anger, the feeder
grabbed the boy and threw him into the
machine. Before the machine coul be
stopped half of the boys body was torn
to pieces. Two Of the poor, unfortu nate
lads brothers were present, and when
they saw their little brother murdered In
cold blood they sprang at the murderer,
dealing two blows with pitchiork-one
in the stomach, the other in the chest
either one of which would have been IA
tai. He only lived few minutes.

what he expected to do, and Prof. Hood

expressed a desire to educate some South
ern boy whom Prof. Hood should select.
The boy was chosen by Prof. Hood, edu-
Gated by Gov. Scott, and is now president

ERE Is Mistress Fashion, who Is ever
In alert for novelty, especially if il
serves useful purpose, now de-
l. L manding that hips shall be padded.
This is in order that the true Louis
seizeensenible, the prevailing madness, may
be fully realized.
A padded roll fits over the hips. lending
support to the exceedingly full skirt. and in
cidcntally holding out the paniers OF the bod
ice. The desired result OF a tapering waist
and Immense hips is thus attained. A posi-
tive impetus to the furor for empire fashions
was afforded by the recent International
weddings. at which the women guests wore
gowns OF this ST. yie.
The slight padding OF the hips is no in
convenience and really lends a smart air
10 the coat bodies. The skirt a Ia mode
is exceedingly full. measuring frcm five to
seven yards about the lower edge. The pads
tend to relieve the weight of the skirt and
render admirable service in this way. The
effect Is not unpleasant. and the up-te-date
girl in 4 velvet gown uodeied on this plan
is quite adorable.
