1t is rumored that the hair-line striped
twilled fabrics are to be revived. One sample
in gray and black mixed diagonal bears brown
lines; another in navy-blue has fine green lines,
and third, also in navy-blue, has red lines.

rivals, either in the matter of durability or
style.
Cecilia cloth is new, solid-hued fabric
which runs the gamut of the fashionable
shades. 1t has finely twilled surface and a
wide vale underestimate.
Another twiled material is Paquin serge in
which the cord is raised This, like all plain
fabrics, is fashionable in shades of purple,

 "Why?p asked writer in Harper's Razar.
 And then she told me that men (and women) were not truthful; that the best cf them told falsehoods. For instance. several months before this conversation, she had asked a certain young man if he were in- gagged to Miss B- He gave her to understand .hat he was not. Now his engagement to Miss B. was announced, and 1t was acknowledged that it was an affair of six months standing. Had he not lied2 I, who happened to know the facts of the case, was aware that it was the wish of tue fiancee and her family that the fact of the engage ment be kept quiet until they were ready to announce 1t. The man in question was in honor bound to keeI the secret.
 All the same, declared the in dignant woman, "if, according u the old definition of Q falshood, it is thing told with the intention tc deceive he told falsehood. " The conversation recalled to my mind the speech made by A friend long sgo.

SOUTHERN COTTON MILLS.
tArkausss Democrat.l

Reports from Southern cities where cotton mills are located indi- cate the most natterlng prospects for the cottos milling industry. While some enterprises in the North and elsewhere have failed to bring satisfactory returns, every cotton mill erected ia the South and giyen the proper attention has netted a splendid return on the investment. Unfortunately for the Southwest the mills heretofore erected in the South have gone to the Eastern states. Georgisi and South Caro- lima have large number of mills, while Arkansas, Tennessee and Mississippi, comprising the heart of the cotton belt, have few If any mills in operation. There are many good reasons why these latter men tioned States should be gi'en the preference in the location of cotton mills, and yet strange to say, capi. talists have not seen it to make the proper investigation. We may, however, rest assured that every thing will come all right iR the end; and, after while we shal. have our share of the cotton inils of she South. Concerning the prosperity of these mills Col Orr, president of the Piedmont Msnufacturins Co.,, Of Greenville. 5. C., said recently while en route to New York.
 While soushern mills have lately not made as much money as sheg did in years past, they nevertheless are making good showing. Com pared with New England mills the profits are larger. During the last eighteen months there have been about 300, 000. aew spindles installed io the South. The development Of IeW mills while not sS active as it vas g year ago, IS still goins steadily
 Grward. ln the South the propor-
 or ate il crease eesin the number Of sIu las teen probably ten times
 ;:afeat as in England, but there is sfjllrot m for development. Look Ing ct the growth Of the cotton man. ufscturing business in the South, people forget that in Fall River, Mass.. alone there are more spindles than in all the southern states. There is pronounced tendency toward making finer goods ia the South. New mills are built with this ia view, and where additions are built to the older mills pro- visioLs is made for the production oi . better class of goods. The steady growth of the cotton man.
