Just now the question of the il

Just now the question of the i'm. provement of our county roads is being agitated, and there is no public measure which should take precedence over it or outweigh it importance. Good roads are the greatest attractions 10 prospectors of which any community can boast, aside from the greatest eonven. fences to farmers and the greatest agencies for the promotion and upbuild;ng of our trade and com merce. The crying necessity for good roads in this county IS now being doubly enhanced in signifi- canoe and importance, from the fact that one of the largest oil mills in the south is now in course of construction in Forrest City. The cotton seed of this, and adjoining counties will brought to this town as It will be the best market for this product in the state, but the question of transportation has not been seriously considered. Cot ton seed will doubtless bring from slO to sl2 per ton this fall, at any rate, the highest market price will be paid, and now is the time to be. gin making permanent improve ments on the roads over which this valuable commodity is to be hauled, for when the rainy season. sets in it will then be too late to accom- plish lasting and effective work for the betterment of our public high. ways. This is something about which every road overseer in the counly should think, and they should have the best interests of the people at heart in this matter, and should prove themselves wor. thy ofthe trust imposed in them by their actions. We would sug- gest that the county judge call a meeting of all the road ovcrseers in this county for the purpose of discussing the best methods and plans by which permanent and benefcient improvements can be most speedily made on our pubic reads, and, set to work immediately for the development of such ac- ceptable plans of improvement as would.sprely be the outcome of a meeting Of this kind. Cur citizens. too, would take great interest m such meeting.

The office of the county judge is surely not a bed of roses. Many questions come before hlm as per- picking as the Georgian knot. Judge Taylor has one before him now over which he will pass sleep less nights before he renders his decision next Monday. A vacan- cy occurred in the board of school directors at Palestine before the last May election. The judge was importuned to appoint some ono to fill the vacancy, but as the pc titioners could net agree on any person, he thought it best to let 1t go. by until the election in May. The election was held and Geo. Howell wa. Zone of the elected by a large .majority. 1t seems the wrong man was elected, and now cpmes.a charge .that the election was null and void on account of it not being held in compliance with the law, and asks. that the judge declare it so, and appoint the di- rectors. The question is now whether the judge will regard the wish of n few or, the. will of the people as expressed at the election, whether the. same was held in ac. cordance with law or not. Alex ander the Great settled the ques. ton of the Georgian knot by sey. ering it with sword. Judge Fay. Tor has the sword of justice-let him use it in tho interest of the will of the people.

ATTENTION FARMERS.

4 word to the farmers of St. Francis county and all others. Read this and read it over and over again and agaln. You who own the finest farming lands Tn the vorld-stop spending your money for foreign grain, flour and meal. Grow your own wheat and bring it to mill and exchange for four. Let 4-cent cotton alone. Organize yourselves, hold meet ings and mako 1t known Tn thun- der tones that you will SOW wheat this fall, and there will surely be q Roller mill erected in Forrest City to grind it. These mills are being erected all around us and surely what others can do we can do. I have letters from all over the countryto substantiate what ] say. Paragould has a 100-barrol mill which declared 40 per cent dividend on last years business and Paragould IS erecting another mill of 2O0-b barrels capacity. The mill at Jonesboro, only twenty miles from Paragould, burned down few weeks ago, and Jones' boro is rebuilding as hard as they chn, and claim they had one of the best paying institutions in the state.

 Now friends and fellow citizens get to work and let us all lend a hand to start our mill in time to grind a big crop of home grown wheat next season, and with the opening of the Choctaw road we can ship four all along it's line.

Geo. P. Keeney, president of the Association of National Silver clubs let hlmseli loose to report CT in New York, on the question of "what will be the issues in the coming presidential campaign. He does not think that free silver coinage will cut any conspicuous figure, but, if Mir. Bryan obtains control ofthe convention, he will of co urse see that silver has a prominent position. Anti-impe- rialism is no go, neither is anti. expansion, and the trusts are not gong to be played heavily as a political card. There is a clamor for new issues and a fight along new lines. He says there is a strong disposition on the part of Eastern and Southern democrats to try an Eastern man next year, and German of Maryland may prove to be g very powerful factor in the result.

AN IMPORTANT EDlCT FROM THE
ORACLE OF THE
WORLD
OF FASHION.
BY DAISY
NAY.


in the nature of a command. Though
adipose tissue yields readily to banting
or the thousand marketable obesity
cures, there is no assurance that plump
ness will disappear just where you
wish it to. This being the case, wo-
men naturally turn to the Iegitimately
artificial for aid, which in this instance
is the corset.
The habit back skirt upon its first
appearance was cordially received. All
the world of fashion looked on the good
work. striving to duplicate it's perfect
lines Few succeeded. 1t was utterly
impossible to reproduce the appearance
of a round full back without exaggerat-
ing the size of the hips. One by one
the new figure" increased in numbers
Eventually the secret was out-milady's
new corset nodded her into the shape
required. The corset Of yesterday was
cut sufficiently low to free the bust
commonly spoken to leave it in natural
position" This characteristic remains
unchanged. From the shoulder to the
point of the bust is regarded as the line
of beauty. and to increase its length is
the prevailing aim. The size of the
waist has been steadily charging since
women took TO outdoor exercise. hence
the corset is not entirely responsible
for this truth. but the autumn models
undoubtedly accentuate the big waist
as none has ever done before.
The second feature Of the new figure
is the absolutely straight line without
the fainteSt suspicion of a curve It
extends from the point of bust where
the stays begin. to the abdomen, where
they end. This gives a square or box
like appearance not nearly so graceful
and easy as the short hip things which
permitted you 10 sway, bend and I'M
bend at viii.
The latest corset for the new figure
tribe is the same length all around
/ This is contrary To rule. as they are
usually long in front. gradually de-
/ creasing toward the back. which is in
variably quite short II is heavily bon
ed.Coues down well over the hips. being
three inches longer than any previous
model offered. The cores are less am
pie and have the power TO crowd the
flesh down and back. II is this at
tribute which gives the hustle like pro
portion and fills out the tiny hollow
which has been so long the bane of wo-
men and the despair Of dressmakers
An unsuccessful effort was made in the
spring by "avant couriers" OF fashion
10 introduce the style Of corset now in
vogue. Their persistency is TO be re-
warded. for within the next 30 DAYS
the modified hustle period will be in

full swing and the new figure on pa
rade.
Coutil. batiste patterned in dresden
flowers, and satin continue to be the
staple material for corset making. Pet
ticoats to match are no longer a fad and
are seldom seen unless to fill special
orders. Bridal corsets are of white
brocade, satin or batiste. laced and
gartered in true lovers blue. There is
a sudden array of pretty combinations
| on the corset counters. Pinkish grays
are decked out in MORE ribbons of deep
er shade, with carriers buckled and
clasped in aluminium. pretty fieX-
ible bust supporter@or negligee wear is
made of violet, blue or white ribbons,
! lace edged Elaboration is the keynote
! of fall fashions, and not the humblest
of the dame subjects fails TO strike it.
A talk on stays suggests thoughts of
house gowns and breakfast jackets,
which importers are displaying with
pardonable pride. AS yet the market is
not flooded but among the fluffy crea-
tions none is more captivating in the
jacket line than rose colored peau de
sole, with open sleeves and pointed stole
ends fancifully decorated in chantilly
| lace of black and white threads inter-
mingled. Elder down bath robes seal
| loped and bound in satin ribbon. but
toning diagonally down the front, are
said to be copied from one in the trous-
seau Of Princess CantacuZene, nee
Julia Grant. They are pretty and not
ungainly. as such aids to comfort gen.
orally are.
These crisp autumn days women go
wandering about the shops collecting
cold weather wardrobes. heading the
list with some outside garment. Judg-
ing from the number seen on every
thorOughfare, Capes in IS many shapes
as there are brilliant ana aggressive
plaids to make them, are preferred to
jackets. Fer immediate wear they are
surprisingly fine. being Quilted with
spacious patch pockets and cut 10 cling
closely Veyy few are OF plain cloth,
yet it is possible to set one novelty in
semidolman shape without even
piped fiounce of plaid. This Aunt Hetty
discovered. much to her delight and
she has spread the news broadcast
among her gentle elderly friends of
quiet taste who are likewise rejoicing.
The jacket model best liked is adOrn-
ed by triple cape collars and fails to
fasten down the 'front.' With it is worn
a boa of chiffon. waist length. instead
of the heavier feather one. To the OBJ
servant this indicates that heavy and
sheer materials are TO remain friendly
allies the coming season. Boa clasps of
gilt. silver and enamel are shown.
These help to preserve the chiffon erin
kles and plaits and also enhance the
effect.
The jewelry craze does not abate one
Whit. The newest evidence is in chain
form. with odd pendants. medallions or
talismans suspended. and are called
La FlOrentine." They may be had in
gun metal. plain links or in silver
curiously wrought. Madonnas framed
in topaz disks or peacocks strutting
with jeweled tails spread are among the
mast unique designs.
Coral round or rough. is much worn
Long chains are twined several times
around the neck in stock fashion. with
ornamental pendants fastening like
brooch. Edging stocks and belts with
coral beads is the pretty fancy OF
