LHa'eS fahcy vast, NO. 1871. -
Hints by Mny Manton.
One Of the seasons most attractive com
biDations is a rich shade of brown with
trimming Of turquoise blue. This Is the
corage of a pretty brown foulard with q
small figure of blue.
TIE back Of the waist is fitted smoothly
across the shoulder and drawn down close
to the waist line in cluster Of tiny plaits.
The yoke Of turquoise blue liberty satin
tucklng Is cut on the bias and arranged
SO that the tucks meet in tht centre In
V-shape, back and front. It is not un
usual this season to find the Jokes diff
erent shape back and front. In this case,
a pretty pointed effect Is selected for the
back trimming, while the front Is applied
In square outline. The collar conforms to
tho same shaping andts very comfortable
and becoming, graduating toward the
back, where it flares slightly in pretty
points. -
The left side Of the waist Is fitted
smoothly to the figure. The right side,
smooth at the under arm seam, is drawn
in graceful cross folds Chat result from
tho unique shaping) to the left side of the
yoke, where 1t is fastened under rosetts
of blue ribbon velvet and fall Of creamy
lace.
Tho close fitting two-piece sleeve is
mounted with shallow cap OF tho tuck
ed liberty satin, shaped to correspon d
with yoke and collar. The wrists flare
Slightly over the hand aud are scaloped
OIL their free edges A band of chenille
and lace passementerle studded with
turquoise is used to outline the yoke and
as trimming on the sleeves. Tho corsage
is made quite short, reaching just below
the waist line in tho back and front. The
shaped belt Is covered with tho same pnss-
ementerie that is used for the trimming.
Tho mode is desirable for dressy waists
of silk or fine wooden fabrics, crepon,
crepeliDo. net or lace over bright colored
silk Innings with accessories to match.
To make this waist In the medium size
will require one and threo.fourth yards of
material forty-four inches wide. The

Mr.. Jacob NeviuS died on the 9th of
Oct. at his home near Bryantsville.
He had been a great sufferer for three
years, and his last days were so full of
pain that he longed for death to re-
lease him from his suffering. He was
born in Boyle county about seventy
seven years ago, but had lived in Gar
rard for more than thirty years. Three
daughters survive him, his wife having
died just three months ago. Mr.. Ne
vius was man of great industry and
only ceased to work when his strength
forbade it. He was upright in his de-
alings, and was free from making
harmful remarks about any one.
He had lived out his allotted time,
and it seemed fitting that his toll
worm body should be laid to rest,
when the leaves and flowers he loved
so well had began their decay.

Exceedingly Sad Death.

Never in our newspaper experience
have we been called upon to chronicle
more distressing death than that 81
William R. Jennings, which occurred
at Paint Lick Monday morning at II
O'Clock. Readers of this paper will
remember where we spoke of his visit
to this Office last week, and our men
tiOn of the pleasant chat we had
When he said Bangs, l am going te
give you my next printing" we were
far from the thought that in less than
weeks time we would be setting his
funeral notice. When in the Office, he
said he had been feeling ''little the
worse for wear but was about all right
again." He returned home and on
Thursday or Friday was stricken by
pneumonia. He grew rapidly worse
and breathed his last, as stated above
William Romans Jennings was born
in Lancaster 35 years ago. He attend.
ed the best local schools, and, as we
stated last week, always stood at the
head of his classes. After securing a
fair education he at once took up the
saddlery and harness business and
never tired until mastering all the
points in the trade. He worked for a
time at Springfield, returned to Lam
caster, and moved to Paint Lick,
where he at once established lucra-
tive business. He married daughter
of Mr.. /. G. Rucker, of Paint Lick,
and she and one child survive him.
Will Jennings was man of few words,
but nothing passed his observation.
He was full of fun, true friend, and
a sober, honest man. He had a con-
tempt for any one who would do a
mean trick. As friend he was as
true as steel. It does seem hard that
SO noble a man should be cut down in
