The wonderful advance of Califor.
MIA in fruit production is shown in
the recently-issued annual report OF
the President of the California Board
of Trade. This advance is most con.
spicuous in citrus fruits, the ship.
ment of which in 1898 amounted to
$50, 5SS tons, as compared with "a, 200
tons in 1890. Los Angeles leads in
this particular, being credited with
107, 73S tons out of the total. River.
side County, San Bernardino, Orange
and San Diego follow in the order
named. These are all southern coun-
ties, but central and northern coun.
ties also have entered this field with
much success. Stockton shipped
last year 29S5 tons, Marysville 1896,
and Sacramento 303. A stimulus to
the industry in the vicinity of these
cities is given by the fact that the
northern fruit ripens earlier than the
southern, owing to the higher temper
ature of the northern summer. This
brings it into market at a time when
there is practically no competition
from the southern belt. The ship
ments of green decidous fruits in
creased from 81, ,O42 tons in 1890 to
67, 1T tons in 1898. Dried fruit ex-
ports in the latter year were 76, ,662
tons, and canned fruits At, S97 TONS.

Rare New Ribbons,

Everything that can be possibly
trimmed with yards upon yards OF mar
row gathered ribbon is trimmSG with
it. 1t comes all prepared in narrow
lutte string width, with cording down
the center. A pull on one of the rib
bons turns the cord into drawstring,
though the ribbon can be quite as
prettily put to very orthodox uses.
The commanding beauty of color and
unusual charm of decoration of the rib.
bons have inspired some thoughtful
soul to set the fashion of having shirt
waists made of lengths OF ribbon laid
together. The ribbon edges are united
by beading on very narrow lace in
serting or piping of some satin in a
solid color.
Such shirt waists are made with the
ribbon running lengthwise or cross
wise of the figure, and are the result
of the strenuous effort to ind some
thing new in fancy bodices that threaten
to be done to death. Another species
of ribbon very much used for this pur-
pose is the rich white or mauve satin
article striped with black velvet A
richer fabric than this it is impossible
to find, and the ribbon par excellence
for the hordes of muslin frocks soon
to be materializing about us is a very
much grained tatfeta that is soft withal
and edged with a narrow chined floral
band that finishes in fringe. The
fringe is merely the raveled edge of
the ribbon and is stamped with the
floral pattern, too.
The new way of using a ribbon
round the neck is to buy one three or
four inches wide, pass it twice round
the throat, tie bow under the chm,
carry the ends down to the waist, knot
smaller bow there and then let two
sliced tabs fall three inches below this
second bow, which is made fast to the
dress or shirt waist by means of an
ornamental pin.
Pretty fronts are made of colored
tulle powdered with large silk dots
and worn as above described, while
cut white crystal buttons, some of
them as big as the tops of decanter
shoppers, and some of them with little
pictures in their depths, have made
every other species of button look
eminently passe. Boston Post.
To Improve the Eyebrows and Lashes.
A solution of rosewater will prove
an excellent lotion for the eyelashes.
They should be bathed with it every
morning. A little powdered borax in
water is also good, or even still
smaller quantity of carbonate of soda.
Ii child has perfectly strong, healthy
eyes the lashes may be improved by

Ready When the Nexty Hurricane Came

Ready When the Nexts Hurricane Came.
Ed Walter, welltodo colored
man living near Sprague Junction,
Ala, had his crib and stables blown
away by the storm which passed
through there the other week. His
house and family escaped, and he
went at once to work and dug storm
pit in his yard, in the event another
such storm came along. The other
day when the storm that passed
through that territory was seen ap-
preaching he took his family, not for
getting his dog, and went into his
hole in the ground. When the storm
passed over he found his house scat
tered over ten-acre field and his
household goods in the tops of trees.
Some of his meat was found 400 yards
from the house. He thinks but for
his storm pit not a member of his
family would be left.

A Change of rlanagers.

We are 10 have change of manage. ment of the S'. Francis Electric It. Co , Mir. Shepard having resigned. In fact his resignation was rendered some six months ago and the only reason why a new man has got been secured is attribu- table to a scarcity of mechanics.
 In conversation with Mr. Ewell we were told that three competent persons had made application for the position. but the company deemed it advisable to make temporary arrangement until the most de- sirable applicant could leave his present position A thorougly competent electri- elan will get the place, and will take charge between now and December 1.
 The company earnestly hopes to soon be in position to give Forrest City good and satisfactory electric flight service. Our citizens know that electric lights are the most desirable lights to be had for the illumination of our town and are anxious to support good system of electric lights. The St. Francis Electric It. Co.,, can give ns such system and feels that the service in the future will be one to be ap preciated by their patrons. Everyone real lzes that it would be d step backward to in augurate the old street lamp system again and all are loath to contemplate such g condition.

Sign Of Prosperity.

The Commissioner of Patents has
done more than he promised to do when
he asked Congress to increase his force,
and the patent office has never been in
a more gratifying condition than at
present. For years the work in the diff

seemed impossible that it could ever be
brought up to date. \ year ago some
of the departments were nine months in
arrears, and none &C them were less

May were $116, 3S6.S7. as against $751;
