A fashion note says that belts, gloves
aud necKties Of rattlesnake skin will be
worn by women this spring. We knew
the poor rattlesnake wOuld have 20 come
10 lt sooner OF later. IL was about the
only varmint left that the women didn't
wear. Think Of n woman being array
ed In n silkworm dress. goat skin shoes,
whalebone stays, kid skin gloves, horse
hide belt, tortoise shell comb, fish scale
trimmings, stuffed canary birds, clam
shell buttons. spitz dog muff, mink tail
collarette, alligator hide purse and now
n rattlesnake necktie Solomon in all
his glory was not such menagerie ms
one of these-and yet we love them no
matter what they wear.
We observe that writer in one of
our contemporaries advises our farmers
20 have their names on their front gates
for the convenience OF travellers and we
heartily endorse the suggestion. IL has
been adopted in some counties and has
provedfo be a great satisfaction TO all
concerned. Our country friends would
do not only Others service, but them
selves IA well, by letting their light so
shine When a man has business with
a farmer and walks hundred rods two
or three times, back TO farm houses 10
see some particular man, iinds each
time that he Is at the wrong house, he
begins 10 feel vengeful and accumulates o
bad impression about the country and
farmers in general.
The school census is now being tax.
en- In the coontry districts OF Kentucky.
While the census IL taken in April 10
applies 10 the state of affairs ON the first
OF July. All children who will be six
years old by the first OF July must be
enrolled whether they are or are not six
when the census man comes around.
child that will be twenty by the first OF
July must be left out. The question OF
residence is also bother some time.
The residence Of the childs parents or
guardian is usually considered the resi-
dence of the child. though not neces.
sarily so. The same facts that would
allow a person to vote, il a voter. will
determine the residence of child for
school purposes In most cases.
