My Dear Jerry New Years Gifti NOW
then got you and I want you to hand it
over, too a handsome rs carrot gold en-
gagement ring will do. Remember you
can't ring in No. II turnip or 70 onion ar
rangement on me.
I reesived your letter on Xmas day and
was so tickled over it, that got behind the
door and hugged myself good and hard, but
I won't always be satisfied with this kind of
hugging. 1t is too selfish
Well thought would begin the New
Year by writing TO you, my dear. May all
your paths be paths Of peace, and may you
slide along as slick as grease. Yes, will
call you my Jerry" My other fellows
name is Tom and am very fond Of ''Tom
and Jerry" As a sock darner I am not
much of a success, but as a sock filler am
a sockdolager, and have always admired
Jerry Simpson, because he had no socks TO
darn. Can't you initiate him in understand
ing as well as in name So far as my dis
position is concerned It has is outs and ms
mostly the lattei, as my indis-pOsilion 10 be
out this kind OF weather keeps me in most
Of the time.
You say you are in dreadful hurry TO
have me change my long name, but ] don't
know that "Coonskin" would improve Il
any. think Sealskin would be Sery be-
coming to my complexion, but "Coonskin''
sounds too dark for a blonde and If you
could see my red hair and freckles you
would never think il could be turned into
"Coonskin." Now Jerry, dear, Gnsiead Of
Coon, as IL is so much more poctic,) you
must not sign your name with the type
writer, like the rest Of the letter, because IL
is not legal and makes me doubt that you are
genuine "Coonskin," and 7 could never
sue you for '1eather-brcechcs" of promise.
Well must stop now and quit writing and
come to an end and close this letter with the
following adieu--
As sure as the pumpkin vine
Grows over the stump,
take you for my own
Sweet sugar lump.
And as sure as the skin
Grows over the coon
hope this letter will win
reply from you very soon
So please come again
From yours truly.
Fondly and Duly.
Jane fimhnagin.

W00LEN FLANNELS
That Can Not he Equaled In the Country
broom rhe soulhorn r,aao Reoord.

From The southern Tado Record
The Southern Trade Record is ever on the
alert for such articles and subjects as will
likely be of general interest To- its readers,
aud in the course of our Investigations, our
attention was attracted to the line of The
Terra Alta Woolen Mills, of Terra Alta, w.
Va. The goods manufactured by them en-.
brace a line of Woolen Flauucls Ladies'
Dress and Heavy Golf Goods, Blankets, etc,
etc., that are unequaled in the United States.
The superior quality of these goods is fea-
ture which has made the manufacturers FAM
Gus, and the general workmanship and finish
hayc been the wonder and admiration of all
who have seen or used them, aud the output
OF their factory is such that they are able 20
quote better prices and give better value
than less successful competitors. They are
made of the best material that money can
buy, and durable, and have given unbound
ed satisfaction wherever they have been used
They are sellers, too, and sale once made,
'comc.again' customer is won. Certain
dealers throughout the South have complain
ell in no uncertain tones regarding the In
ferior quality of the goods in this line placed
on the market 10y certain manufacturers, and
have asked us to recommend a firm manu-
featuring line of these goods which can be
relied upon to I'LL their orders honestly,
promptly and reliably. From our observa-
tions, locally, and referring the matter to
our representatives in all principal cities, we
find that these goods are handled by the
most successful dealers in the country
Their business is conducted ON the line of
promptitude is special feature of their busi-
ness methods. Their standing commercially
is of the highest, and they are well known
for rare business tact and enterprise, as well
as sterling integrity, We advise those who
are interested TO write The Terra Alta Wool
en- Mills direct. During the eighteen years
the Record has been published il has always
given careful attention to inquiries received
from ts subscribers, and TO furnish reliable
information. The best only is recommends

the knowledge OF consent of the aboye firm
Neither has any compensation been offered

product, except TO give credit where credit
is due, and an unreliable or purchased in.

pages. To the rigid pursuance of this
policy, and our motto, "Subscrption first,
advertising second" we attribute the large
circulation of the Record, which is many
times greater than that of any similar publ.

"Janice Meredith"

Never before, perhaps, in the history of
this country has it been possible to reach.
with popular novel, such tremendous hg.
ures Of circulation. The quantity Of cheap
magazines has apparently created an army
Of new readers, and successful book to.
day is probably more widely circulated than
at any time in the history Of this country.
The notable books in point Of circulation to-
day are David Harum,' Richard Carvel.
and Janice Meredith
The surprising number of 100000 was
reached by David ffarum' in little over a
year; Richard Carycp in seven months
reached nearly 10000; bat perhaps the
most remarkable record is that of Janice
Meredith, which ~ three months reached
2oo.ooo copies.
Three months after publication David
Iarum' had hardly been recognized 1T all.
while % Richard Carvcr about 100. 900 had
been announced in that space Of time. II
is probably the case that the record Of
Janice Meredith Zoo. 900 in three months,
is thc most remarkable one achieved in this
country by any novel during the past gen.
Grafton, generation which has seen such
remarkable books as Tdlby, Ben.fIur.

Necessity Of Good Pronunciation.

Written for Z no Argus.
One should always be- careful in their
pronunciation, no matter where they are or
to whom they may be talking. You can
easily distinguish refined and cultured man
from careless and indifferent one in the
manner he pronounccs his words and sylla-
bles, for the man of culture and refinement
will measure his words in a manner becom-
ing gentleman, while the man of indiher-
ence will throw his words at you IN a hayaDl
SedrAN manner not worthy Of any mans
imitation. Some people arc possessed of the
false idea that they are right in the ''swim"
simply because they can pronounce few
'jaw breakers" Take the same pirtics and
in nine cases out Of ten they arc not able to
pronounce the simplest words Of the language
such as "and," "someihing," 'riding,"
''going," "ycf," "when," "then" and
'fhat." But you will Invariably hear them
pronounced thus, san" 'somethin,' sri
den," ''goin," "yit, " "whin," eden" and
'dat." You will often find men who try to
impress you by using large and unmcaning
words while he is literally eating the smaller
ones. Let me impress upon you, dear
friends, that it is much easier to pronounce
the larger words of our language than it Is
the smaller ones, as you can divide the large
words into syllablcs and pronounce each one
distinctly, while you pass over the smaller
ones in such haste that you do not give them
their proper sounds.
"If men,, says Coleridge, "would only
say what they have to say in plain terms,
how much more eloquent would they he 3"
There is considerable truth in this statement,
for what is more tresomc than TO listen to a
man who is continually cheating around tie
bush" when he wants to tell you something
When he could put it in few simple, and
at the same time emphatic words if ncces-
sary.
The English language is one Of the most
beautiful languages there is, so do not spoil
1t by chopPing tup aud spelling all the
beautiful harmony attached to IL.
