of Wilson; Prof. Sledd, Wake Forest;
Stunt. Sheppe, Of Reidsville.
These will cover each subject in con-
uauSed form, similar 10 the WoTk uSudIly
done in Teachers Institutes. In addl-
ton TO these lectures, there will be spe-
cial programs for the departments which
have been organized FOR the college
workers, the school officers, the academy
and high school teachers, and primary
teachers. The names of those who will

FIELDS OF CARNAGE.

The battle of Bosworth, where Rich
ard Ill. lost his life, was fought on a
little hamlet of the same name, IL miles
west of Leicester. On the hill over the
town, now called Crown hill, a monu-
ment marks the spot where the crown
OF Richard was placed on the head of
Henry.
Jena, where Napoleon defeated the
Prussians, is town of Saxe-Weimar-

Torchon and valenciennes patterns
combined are the new laces for trim

Blouse waists of velvet or velveteen,
with narrow metal belt, are the cor

Watches have gradually diminished in
size until now the very latest bit of
enamel, set round with diamonds, is no
larger than mans signet ring.
One secret of success in dress is to
find out the colors which are most be-
coming and never wander away from
these, no matter what the fashion is.
Mahogany hair is the latest
fad, and the transition period between
dark brown and this coveted shade of
red is very interesting to the keen OBJ
server.

Fine book muslin in all the pretty light
tints is used for evening waists for the
young girls, and it is made over cheap
silk or satin, trimmed with lace and
ribbons and worn with light-colored or
black silk skirts.
Muff chains of gold with diamonds
set at intervals, so that they are open on
both sides, are one of the novelties in
