SAYINGS OF HON. VIM. j.
BRYAN.

We are opposed to the trusts
the money trust, the indus
trial trusts, aud the information.
al land grabbing trust.
There are three arguments |
made in defense of Imperialism:
First, that there is money in it;
second, that Gods in it; third,
that we are in it and cannot get
out of it.
When kings seek to silence
opposition which they cannot
meet by argument they assert
divine right to rule; so when
Republicans seek to silence OPP
position to an imperial policy,
which they cannot defend by ar
gument, they hide behind the
divine right and pretend that
they are carrying out the will
of the Almighty. We have a
righe to demand their creden-
tials.
It is not strange that a par
ticular bank should be selected
for favoritism by those who be
lieve that the entire banking
class should be favored as
against every body else. When
the right to special privilege is
once recognized it has no limi.
tations.
Speaking of destiny, it was
the destiny of Cain to Stay Abel
but it was also his destiny tc
wear the brand of Il murderer

A WOMAN'S SPRING WARD
ROBE

The new spring gowns, made
all of one material and not with
separate waists as heretofore,
will be much worn,
The separate waists will be
of light silks and muslins of
other thin materials.
Almost all the new spring
stuffs are of soft, clinging
quality, which makes them
adaptable to the present style
of gown.
There are to be some lovely
silk muslius with punches of
flowers and sprays of vines and
buds worn.
The smartest shirt. waist will
be made tucked back and front
from the neck down, and the
tucks will be rather wide than
otherwise The great tendency
is to make the waist-line as long
as possible in front.
The tailor and walking shirts
will barely sweep the ground,
and the long trains have entire,
| ly passed away with the habit
and closefitting backs.
The return of the hustle is
heralded 1t is not large affair,
but small, well shaped.
Sleeves are still worn tight
and are much trimmed. They
are quite long, and the smartes
ones are made ending in a poin
which covers the top of TIT
hand to the knuckles.
r Collars are to be worn high
D but not as stiff as they nave bee
The new hats are made @
I some fancy straw braids, tulie

BEAUTY SPOTS AGAIN.

Beauty spots are again the
rule for the fashionables. No
body can tell you just how or
why it happened that moth
patches-those little circles or
crescents of black court plaster
which are now worn by up-to'
date damsels just at the corner
of the mouth, or in the middle
of the cheek or chin. or on the
shoulder-have come into favor
again, says a fashion writer.
But that they have come back
is very evident. And a special
list in this sort of thing says
that the maids who wear these
black beauty spots are follow
ing one of the latest Partisan
fancies,
Moreover, she who thinks
that her efforts in this direction
are limited by squares or Cir
cles or crescents is much mis-
taken. The Parisians have
ia ken care of that also. At the
fountainhead of such fancies il
has been decreed that a maid
may wear circles in two or three
sizes, lozenge-shaped patches,
star-shaped patches, heart
shaped patches, patches shaped
like the ace of clubs, patches
shaped like the ace of spades
fiower-shaped patches, or ever
patches shaped like chubby lit
tie Pierrots. or like lean little
tragedians.
! Of course, it would be impos
sible for the busy maid-the de
butante, for instance, to fine
time to cut out her own patches
even if it would not be extreme
ly difficult for her to get the &C
curate measurements for the or
thodox shapes. To prevent hel
from experiencing any unneces
! sary woes some disinterested
manufacturer has taken thing:
into his own hands. From the
: highest court he has learned
the exact measurements. HI
has made use of them in the
patches which he manufactures
of fine satin.finished court plas
ter and which are sold in large
or small quantities all over the

years of age, and was born and rear

an honorable, christian gentleman,
respected and esteemed by all who
knew him. In his death the COM
munity in which he lived loses a
valuable citizen, who never failed
to. respond to the call of duty.
Especially was he kind and atten-

whose bedside he watched patiently
and to whose wants he administered
tenderly. A wife and five children
survive, who have the sympathy of
many friends.
From the Chapel Hill On. CO.
News, a copy of which has been
handed us by Mr.. l. NJ. Emerson,
we learn that the total number of
cotton mills in North Carolina is
22S. The county of CASTOR, alone,
has "a mills. North Carolina does
not produce a sufficient quantity of
the raw material to supply one third
of these mills. They are compelled
to buy cotton from a distance and
pay the freight--still we understand
they are running at a profit and
paying handsome dividends. In
view Of these facts, it does seem
that one cotton factory should pay
at Bolivar, where we have the raw
material almost at our doors. We
notice that the citizens of Upton
County have recently erected a
800, 900 cotton factory at Coving
ton, and the citizens of Gibson
County have subscribed 800, 900
for the erection of cotton factory
at Hum boldt, the contract for the
same having been let and work
A movement looking
to the erection of a cotton factory
at Bolivar was on foot several
months ago, and many of our
citizens expressed desire to take
stock; but we hear nothing of il of
late. Bolivar needs manufacturing
enterprises and needs them badly.
Why not cotton factory?

Crop Report.

With the exception of few scat
tered showers dry and warm weather
prevailed with detrimental effect on
late maturing crops and those lately
planted. The rain of the LIST which
fell over a few counties in the
Middle Division greatly benefited
crops and pastures within it's area
and facilitated blowing. The
weather, during the week, was very
favorable for saving hay and fodder,
and for other farm work, except
blowing for the fall seedlings, which
has been practically suspended OH
account of the dry and hard eondI-
lion of the soil, except where suf-
ticient has fallen to keep it friable.
All late crops have been more or
less damaged by the severe 6routh
and some of them mat erially shorten
ed in prospective yield; this is true
especially of late corn, which has
suffered, perhaps more than any
other crop. Cotton, also, has lost
much in percentage from rust and
shielded fruit, the result of drouth;
the crop is opening and picking is
becoming general. Tobacco is
mostly housed, and the late portion
of the crop yet in the fields is ready
for cutting; the crop, taken alto
gether, is a fine one, although the
late paintings have needed more
rain for proper maturing. Large
quantities of late hay aud fodder
were saved in good condition during
the week; in Madison and Obion
counties the largest hay crops on re-
cord are reported. Turnips are do
ing no good-dying out. Other
minor crops are not very encour-
aging in condition. Except where
recent rains fell, pastures are failing
rapidly. Fruit, generally, is report
ed inferior; apples have rotted and
dropped off until comparatively few
and left; peaches, while plentiful,
are reported generally small and
inferior. Late stock peas are being
shortened, also late Irish potatoes
are almost failure, except where
covered with straw. Peanuts will
probably prove very short crop.
