at the side. The back is very close fitting,
however, having q seam in the middle or
being cut whole, according to fancy. Re-
vers have disappeared to great extent, the
jacket buttoning up to the collar, which
to Questionable must be high and faring.
Sometimes it is turned down upon itself
in the form of seal laps, tabs or a plain
band. The collar may be cut separately and
sewed on the garment or may be cut in
one with it. Novelty demands that it shall
be lined with fur, moufon, chinchilla, err
mine and other light kinds being pre-
ferred.
The sleeves are close to a point we'll
above the elbow above which there is a
moderate fullness. When the sleeve is in
one piece-that is, without an outside seam
1t is necessarily less tight than when it
is in two pieces. 1t is ornamented to match
the body OF the jacket.
Straight sacks show the same effects in
collars and sleeves, although the latter are
sometimes loose gathered into deep cuff
at the wrist. The sack itself is most often
laid in two or three plaits back and front.
The sketch shows little girls coat for
demiseason. 1t is of red and black mixed
cloth and is mounted in deep plaits on a
yoke of black velvet. At the two front
corners of the yoke arc bows of velvet fas-
tened by paste buckles. The sleeves have
cuffs Of Sblack velvet and are also orna-
mented with coquilles of the cloth. The
collar and ruche are of black velvet.

ton into which the agricultural inter-
ests of the country have fallen is
much too intimate to suit that class of
newspapers here, which, though dem
ocratlc, echo with an almost imper-
ceptible southern accent the dogma
of the northern trusts and syndicates
Such papers cannot afford to admit
that our farmers are anything but
prosperous. Such an admission would
be virtual indictment of the undem-
ocratic economic policy which has
given the minority the advantage
that under democratic government
should lie with the majority.
The News at the outset begs the
question by combining itself to the
status of the Georgia farmer alone.
THE TIMES had in view the farmers of
the country at large, but the proof
our contemporary requires may for
tunately be found as near at hand as
the indications of agricultural pros
perity to which it refers.
Prosperous people are contente d
people. The farmer is forever kick
ing, and in the last presidential cam
paign came within an ace of kicking
over the trough at which the sap suck
ers of the country are feeding. His
complaints are chronic, but the rem
edy prescribed by the class of agricul-
turists quoted by the News tells the
story. When the farmer cries hard
times, economy is prescribed as SOW
ereIgn remedy; he is coolly told that
his prosperity is self-evident, and that
he has only to live harder, work hard
er, buy less and sell more. Prosper
GUS people generally live easier, work
less and buy more. That is what pros
perity means outside of the News Of
flee; and neither the farmers of Geor-
gia nor the country at large are likely
to accept as the genuine article a
brand of prosperity" that has all The
essential attributes of poverty.
The agricultural essay writer's
quoted by the News are no more rep
resentative farmers than a millionaire
is a representative American. They
are exceptions. The average farmer
does not attend agricultural conven-
tions. He seldom has money to spare
and he never has railroad passes. 1t
is the exceptional farmer who, with
money and elOquence to burn, figures
at these conventions and shows by the
advice he gives his brethren that pc,
at least, labors under no delusion as to
their condition.

PRESERVE THE ROADS.
Making the Horses Travel In the Wheel
Tracks Is Good Plan.

Making the Horses Travel In the Wheel
Tracks Is a Good Plan.
E. D. Rightmire of Burlington coun-
ty, N. j., says: Farmers in this county
will travel miles out of their way to get
on stone road and save time and OK
pense by SO doing. Therefore, as to the
intrinsic value Of stone roads, they
themselves are their own vindicator l
do not think it necessary to stone all
roads in the county, but the most prom
inent ones should be as soon as the ap-
preparation could be made without in
numbering the county with bonds.
''When stone road is completed the
general impression is that it will last
forever without any attention, which is
a serious mistake. They need as much
attention as good gravel road. e, g,
in the extreme heat of summer the most
essential thing to be done is to water
with watering carts and follow by roll
ing With wide tires and wide whi1lle-
trees on heavy wagons used it would
not be required to roll often, US the
wheels with wide tires would act as a
roller instead of rutting, as Go the mar
row ones. The greatest wear upon stone
roads is caused, first, BY the calks On the
shoes of the horses; second. by the
wheels of the heavy wagons But by
wide tires there would be comparatively
little wear by the wagon. Thus most OF
it is caused by the horses, which can be
nvarpO1Op to n very oTnGt pxt-pDt nv tho

PRESIDENT J. PORE BROWN, of the
State Agricultural Society, says of the
Georgia farmer that he has not been so
well off for 20 years. Glad to hear it.
There are some things that could
hardly change for the worse; and we
trust that our farmers, now secure in
their prosperity, may find protected
cotton bagging and ties, and free cot
ton so conducive to their financial
health that they Will no longer need
to be dosed with that tavorite prescrip-
ton for the prosperous" farmer which
reads Give harder, work harder, buy
less and sell more"

Farmers want Good Roads.

1t can no longer be truthfully said
that the farmers as class are against
the good roads movement. A goodly
majority of them are exerting a strong
influence for the betterment of the pub
lie ways and are laboring with their
less informed neighbors to try to
make them view the subject in the same
light. The result of the campaign of ed
ucation that has been carried on this
winter will become happily apparent in
the superior amount and kind of road
improvement that will be undertaken
in a great many localities next spring. -

THE Jacksonville Citizen declares
that the government should encourage

not let the minority do the steering?

The American Wool and Cot

York jobbing house has con-
tracted with a Rhode Island
hosiery mill to take all its pro-
ducts during the next year, pro-
vided that every stocking is
stamped with the words: "Made
in England. Of course that
would be dishonest trade track,
but a natural consequence of ex-
orbitant tariff taxation, says the
New York World. With the
stamp as an agency for deception
the jobber will be able to sell the
hose at full value with the tariff
tax added. The operation will
be closely akin to obtaining
money under false pretenses,
but no reasonable person would
expect high standard of morals
to result from the policy of pro-
lection.

Ruster-ShelbY Nuptials.

Seldom has the lovely month

time for the consummation of
loves young dream than moonlit
Thursday evening, June 10th,
1897, when at $50 O'Clock Mr..
Ed. c.. Buster and Miss Eva
Shelby we're united in marriage.
The ceremony was solemnized
by Rev. E. W. Tarrant at his
residence. The only witnesses
were Mr.. William Gather and Miss
Cordie Collins, who accompanied
the happy pair to Rev. Tarrant's
residence.
The manly handsome groom
and his fair bonnie bride are
each possessed of the requisite
characteristics for contributing
to the perfect happiness of each
other in the long voyage on which
early in life they have embarked.
He is the junior member of the
prosperous firm of Gather & Bus
ter, proprietors of the New York
store, and a young man univer-
sally and justly popular. She is
a young lady of numerous graces
of heart and hand, the Oldest
daughter of Captain and Mrs. j.
T. Shelby, who resides on Syca-
more street.
The BANNER extends hearty
congratulations and best wishes
to Mr.. and Mrs. Buster.
The wedding will not greatly
surprise the many friends of the
happy young couple, it having
long been surmised that they
were sweethearts. Indeed dame
rumor had already announced
wedding. The wedding day had
however been kept a profound
secret, and thus far their friends
will be surprised, to learn that il
has already passed.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way TO cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustschian Tube.
When this tube gets inlamsd you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its norma
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of Deafness(caused by catauh)that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send
for circulars, free.
