NEW YORK FASHIONS.

The new corsets are quite different in
shape from those that were fashionable
last year, The new skirts are so close
lifting that it is quite necessary to have
a corset that fits close over the hips, and
the short-waistod corset is of course i'm
possible. Straight fronts are still worn
rs low busted as possible and long over
the hips, with more curVing in at the
waist. This is model that is most be-
coming to stout figures, and not unbe-
coming either to slender women. For even
ing gowns the models are much the same
only q little shorter over the hips. The
great difficulty in New York has been
that almost all the best shaped corsets
were high priced. Now there are so many
different shapes to choose FROM even
among the cheaper ones. that by taking
time TO be well fitted 1t is possible to find
what Is satisfactory for comparatively
little money. 1t is not possible to buy a
satisfactory corset for a stout woman for
nothing, and it is far better TO economic
on some other article of clothing and buy
better corsets.-Harper's Bazaar.

good and large crop without exception.
Buckwheat is reported good crop. The
conditions are excellent for fall blowing
and seeding. which. though delayed by
the rainy weather, is being rapidly COM

cut. Pastures and fields are reported
as green as in June. with excellent fall
feed.
In sections of southern New Hamp-

The man with consumption used to be
considered just as good as dead. His doc
tors condemned him to death Just as surely
as if he had been convicted of murder
and must die on the scaffold at dawn.
All that has been changed. There is
now no reason for the consufnptive to
despair. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery will cure 90 per cent. of all cases
of consumption. That is a startling state
nent, but a true one. CONSUMPTION is fed
by impure blood. It is an accumulation
of impurities in the lungs. If the blood
is made pure and filled with the purify
ing properties of the "Discoveryi there
is nothing to replace the tubercu1ous mat
ter that is coughed up and expcctorated.
Gradually the lungs become free and
clear, the lung lining becomes sound and
healthy, and the disease Is conquered.
Then begins the process. of flesh building

in every feature and in every action.

week proved to be a serious one. 1t
was first discovered in the paper room,
and had a pretty good Roadway. The
ire fighters Of Deming got to work
and tried to save the printing Office
material. They saved it from the fire,
but 1t would have been in better shape
If it had been burned up. A printing
Office scattered an over three town
lots is worthless, and gathers 10 no
insurance. TIE loss was estimated
at $1,000 with Insurance OF 1000. 1t
is reported that the Headlight got out
a hand bill edition TO save some Of its
legal advertisements, but none Of
them appeared in Lordsburg. The
paper will probably be started up
again, but under Just what manage
ment has not been decided. Mr., Wal
ton may start il up again. Mr.. Whit
ton, who has been managing IL for
some time may start up, and there is a
