It's Just Dreadful.

1he party telephone lines In the
suburbs are sometimes source OF
great annoyance to the patrons; and
the local exchange operators are of
ten made the butt of n great deal of
ridicule, to say nothing of being
made the target for the man with
the gruff voice and large vocabu-
larry of expletives.
AT one suburban home the phone
is always at the service of the neigh
bors, and young woman living
next door dropped in one evening TO
call up two persons on important
business. The first was soon reached.
and having finished her communi.
cation, the young woman chung
up" for a moment, and then waited
with the receiver at her ear for ex-
change TO give her the other num-
ber. She stood there patiently for
few minutes, studying the figures
in the wall paper, and then began
punctuating the silence with vigor-
Gus shakings of the hook. Five
minutes had elapsed, and she was
growing desperate. The instru-
ment was little high, SO a nearby
chair was brought into service, and
from this vantage point she began
making the transmitter fairly rattle
with numerous "hellos," pitched at
various attitudes. She twisted the
arm up and down, she tried to ring
The magnetic bells, the hook was
jerked down and then jerked up, she
talked into the receiver, and finally,
hanging up with bang, she sought
the consolation of the family.
81 know, it's just dreadful" " said
the woman of the house. "Mv
husband was trying to reach me by
phone the other evening, from the
city, TO say that he would not be
home for supper, and after waiting
for over half an hour TO get con.
nection with our exchange, he board
ed car and came out to tell us
that he would not be home"
"Why, that's nothing" said a
neighbor who happened to be call
ing. 81 tried for over an hour this
morning to reach that exchange
girl, and finally gave it up as a
hopeless job. l afterward learned
that they were papering the house
where the exchange is located, and
hadn't time TO answer calls"
"This is exasperating," said the
young woman, after another un-
successful encounter with the tele-
phone. "That business must be
attended to, and here I've wasted
nearly an hour waiting for that ex.
change girl TO paper her house, or
eat supper, or something"
She resumed her seat for another
wait, aud was listening attentively
TO long tale of woe concerning
telephones, when she suddenly burst
into hearty laugh.
"Well, what's the matter?" she
was asked.
'I'll never say another word
about fooP exchange girls" she
said. "lIere I've waited ali bour to
telephone TO some one who lives
just across the street. Please keep
this quiet. Good night t.-Ex.

The effort of any newspaper to
build up town is practically
nullified unless il ia backed up by
the business men of the town.
A stranger turns from the news
columns of paper to it's adver-
tising columns. and if he fails to
find there the business cards of the
merchants aud professional firm,
be comes to the conclusion that the
editor is not appreciated. in which
case 1t is good place to kee clear
from. No town ever grew without
the active assistance of its papers;
nor can papers grow and build up
their localities without the assist
ance of the town. Business men
should realize this, and remember
that in lending support to their
local paper they are not only
building mp their own business,
but are helping to support that
which is steadily working for the

The Roane County Record esti-
m ltes the losses in Roane county
from the recent flood at about $3.50
600. The loss at Spencer and Reedy
was very heavy, caused by the in
undation and washing away of
houses, bridges, timber and the de-
struction of crops, but fortunately
there was no loss of life. All the
X. 5. & G.. bridges were washed
out, several new county bridges are
gone and all the timber along the
creeks was carried out. The streams
were higher than ever known and
several families had narrow escapes
from drowning.

THE LATEST FAVoRS
 FOR SEASONS cOTILLONS.

"The major part of the inexpensive cotillon favors come from France" a New York dealer is quoted as saying. "The French possess a wonderful knack of making a pretty trife out of almost nothing-a knack, I am sorry to say, not easy of imitation. Many of the favors I import my work people try to copy but I must confess never with absolute success.
 Take this for example, holding up what looked like the quaint cap of a Swiss bonne. made of rose-colored corded paper, long streamers and all, the high bow in front splashed with gilt. Ut cost only a trif1e to import I can't du- plicate if for less than double the money and 1t is just the same with favors of better quality. You see, to begin with I am obliged to import all my materials, and after that add the cost of American labor. which is much greater than 1t is in France Germany and Austria. All most every sort of paper Is made in the United States, but the fanciful kinds of home make which are used in favor making are not so strong as those which come from the other side.
 ''The costlier favors of brocade, satin laces and gauges, with but few excep- tions, I make myself. As a rule the very fashionable cotillon giver aims at novelty, and in cases of that kind we put our wits to work to meet the re- quirements of the occasion. It is not always easy. One must be trained to the business. Many times, though, val uable hints come from the customers themselves who may have been abroad

and spied novelties which impressed themselves upon their memories"
 That originally before everything else is the keynote to success in the making of favors is the unanimous opinion of those in the business.
 Among recent French importations Is noticed revival of paper head gear ex- ceeding anything seen since the winter | following the Spanish-American war, when the Rough Rider hat was very | popular. The Rough Rider Is here again | in gray and tan paper and adorned with l band of some brighter color; but now 1t | Is called the Presidents hat" in com l pliment to the sudden rise of the Rough Rider leader. There is good imitation, too, of mans silk hat done in the same sort of paper and other examples of head covering are the officers hat-gorgeous in color and with gay streamers behind; the Tam O'Shanter, the crown resembling one big chrysanthemum; a French peas ants hat lace trimmed; Dutch bonnets of the Holland colors gold spangled, and fetching golf bonnets of creton finished paper patterned with pansies, roses and carnations.
 Gilded and sivered powder horns. coaching horns, horns O plenty, wreathed and filled with flowers and suspended by ribbons; tall gilded pitchforks with huge
 
 bon-trimmed wands topped with brilliant gauge butterflies and other insects and with humming birds; Louis XIV. staffs, gorgeously decorated, and tambourines covered with flowers are some pretty ex- amples of fragile novelties.
 Single figures eight and ten inches tall, very good likenesses, indeed, of the peas antry of the different foreign countries and which are nexpensively wrought from colored paste, wax and cotton cloth, are noticeable among the French things. They are quite new and quite worth hav- ing. More expensive examples of favors with the Parislan hall mark are workbags and opera glass bags. of stamp-alone brocade, lined with satin and finished Inside with small side pockets. Some are fastened with cords and ribbons, others are mounted in New York. with clasps of silver, gold colored stones or gems to suit the taste of the buyer and the length of her purse. Satin card cases variously mounted, and a host of other beautiful articles made of rich silk seem to bear out the statement of dealer that in the smartest circles articles of silver have l been discounted in favor of those made of costly textiles
 Beautiful scarfs of liberty silk and of gauge and long streamers of ribbon will again be popular at cotillons this winter, and there Is notning the average girl is more eager to get because of their util- ity
 The way the Japanese importers have caught on to the possibilities of the cotil- Ion favor from a business standpoint is highly to be commended. Their estab- lishments abroad this season in beautiful goods suitable for the purpose, and evi- dently the Jap means to run the French man closely for first place in the hearts of cotillon givers.
