DRESSING THE
CHILDREN.
Fashion Wisely DEGREES That
Their Frocks May Be
Simply Constructed.
Woman's Home Companion.

For time the little ones
were dressed so much like
their mothers or grown-up sis
tiers that there was little or
nothing left for them when
they were launched into socie
ty. But now we have a rad
ical change, and the rules OF
fashion wisely decree that we
cannon dress our girls and
boys too SIMPLY. This is a
comforting decision to the
mothers who have large fam
lies to look after, and whose
many duties will not permit
their making elaborate crea
lions for the children. It is a
sensible fashion that procIaims
the plainly-dressed child a styl
ishIy and vel lressed-one.
OF course, plain clothes do not
OF necessity mean severely
straight-up and down styles,
without soft laces and ribbons
to lend a childish effect, but
they mean consistency with
age and occasion, with a con
spicuous absence of aping
grown-up people and an aP
pearance of overdress. The
matter of dress means much
all through life, and should
from a certain part of child
ren's training. just as cleanli
ness and good manners must
be taught if the coming gene
ration is to reflect credit upon
its predecessors. A child
should be made to know the
reason why a frock worn to a
fancy dress party is not a
suitable one to be worn in
church, and that to be dressed
above and beyond her guests
at her own birthday party is a
breach of good manners and
exquisite taste"

CHURCHILL COUNTY NEWS.


Notwithstanding Fosters predictions
10 the contrary the. weather continues
pleasant and outdoor work goes .nerrily
on, giving the ranchers opportunity to
do much OF the plowing, ditching, and
leveling that is usually postponed until
the spring of the year.
The firm of Kaiser & Freeman has
been dissolved, Mr.. Kaiser, having sold
his interest to MIR. j. w. Freeman.
Thus, an old and prosperous firm passes
out of existence, Senator Kaiser and
family will take up their residence in
Reno. In the change, Churchill loses
first-class citizen one who has done
much good, who has lent helping hand
to many in time OF need. To the wild
ow and orphan he has been especially
kind. We know we but voice the feel
ing OF the community in wishing him
many years of health and happiness.
One of the pressing want of Churchill
County is first-class up-to-date -four
mill.
Quite number of farmers have taken
wheat to Lovelock and Mason Valley
and exchanged it for flour. We raise as
good quality OF wheat as can be raised
in the State. We have a good water
power; have or can have a good market
for our surplus in Wadsworth and the
the mining camps east of US. Our citi-
zens, with little effort, can have mill
ready for operation in time for the next
crop OF wheat. At the present time,
every pound of -four used in the county,
is brought from distance; some from
Sacramento. With mill all this will
be changed and the money spent for
-four and freight retained among our
own people.
We learn that the prospects of COM
panv, with the necessary means of TAX
ing hold and developing the Eagleville
mines, is quite promising Mr.. Bacon,
representing Salt Lake parties, spent
some six weeks lately in thoroughly ex-
amining the mines; testing the ore, and
informing himself as to the facilities and
expense of reducing the ore. He ex-
pressed himself as much pleased with
the prospects; and, we presume, made
favorable report to his company.
We learn that Mr.. George Webb has
lost quite number of cattle from dis
ease--just what disease is not known.
Mrs. Lem Allen and Lem Allen, Jr.
are visiting relatives in California. They
expect to be absent a month or more.
Old Lem will probably follow by the
first stock train on which he can get q
chance to 20 to the city.
w. R. Lee spent several days lately
at the Pyramid Reserve visiting his son,
Allen Lee and family, and having good
time generally.
The family of ]. w. Freeman will
soon go to Woodland, Calf, to spend
the winter.
The question before the New River
Debating Club last Saturday evening,
Resolved, "That Hawaii should be an
nexed TO the U. s." was decided in the
affirmative. Thus question that has
been a political issne; has agitated the
public mind; has been a fruitful sub
ject for Congressional debate, is settled
in one sitting of our Debating Society.
