collars of embroidered lawn. These
collars are worn low on the shoulder
and give rather a slcping effect, with
an inner vest of tucked lawn and lace
to correspond. The popularity of the
lace blouse seems rather to wax than
wane. and just now it is the proper
caper to have it made of handsome
Maltese lace. | am bound to tell you,
however, that this lace used in the
making of the approved blouse, in
which much fine handwork must APP
pear. would run the price of the gar
ment up TO a figure that would place
it quite beyond the reach of the aver
age purse.

THERMOMETERS Eight Miles Up,
The exploration of the air 10y means
of balloons carrying self-rcgistering
instruments is pursued with much
vgor in Europe. On February : there
were simultaneous ascents from
many points, extending from France
to Austria and Russia. One un-
manned balloon near Paris reached
an elevation of Al, $50 feet not much
short of eight miles. The tempcra-
ture of the air at that height, as
shown by self-registering thermom-
etcr. was 81 degrees below zero,
Fahrcnhcit. Another balloon near
Berlin found the same temperature
al an elevation 10000 feet less. These
experiments are expected to throw
much light on the laws of storms and
of atmospheric circulation.

A CARD OF THANKS,

Now that our boy, jeff, who was so
severely wounded and lost his left
hand on the 10th inst, has so far re-
covered as to be on his feet again and
is thought by his attending ply siciap
to be hopefully past all danger of
further serious results. We take
pleasure in giving expression to our
most profound gratitude and appreci-
alton for the unmeasured kindness
and uch-needed assistance of our
neighbors and friends in our time of
sore trial and anxious waiting. We
realize more than ever before that no
country on this green earth is more
favored with good neighbors and kind
friends than this, our Topisaw section.
While we find ourselves want
ing in words to fully express our
thanks for favors shown us, we put it
down as fact characteristic of the
good people of Topisaw, that in the
emergency of the case, there has not
been felt need of deeds of kindness
or words of sympathy when there have
not been willing hearts and ready
hands to administer them. Thanks to
our friends, one and all.

the burn will not be serious in it's re-

Our merchant, George Brister, in
company with Il. E. Busby, Gus and
Jesse Brister, made a business trip to
New Orleans last week and returned
safely to their homes without weapons
of defense. See; there is lot in good

Justice Summers, with an air of
pleasure. rode over to Wellman last
Sunday morning and celebrated the
marriage rites for Mr.. William Ensley
Hughey and Miss Lilly T. Ballard, ad-
mired their good looks and craved for
their happy union.
We were called out on business
trip near Denver in the Union settle
ment last Monday, and passing up
Boyle avenue, there were visible signs
of progress on every hand and we
learned that the three country stores
up there, towit; r. M. Boyle, Pink
Martin and the Hall Bros. we're all do
ing good business. Our clever friend,
F. NJ. Dunn, has bought all the timber
of the Boyle Bros, and will locate his
saw mill there soon and occupy the
place formerly owned by Monroe
Boyle. We saw several new buildings
along the way and learned there were
prospects for the completion of the
school building at Union at an early
day. We dined with our genial friend,
Ben Hof, who is always as busy as a
bee, and returned home. BILLY.

Danger Signal.

Remember that your kidneys act as
the cesspool of the human body, into
which all the impurities of the system
are continually dumped for purifica-
ton, and when the kidneys fail to prop
erly perform their functions, it is a
signal of further complications. The
liver becomes clogged, the blood is
filled with uric acid poison, the heart
becomes involved, and unless the prop
er remedy is applied, your case will
soon be beyond the reach of human
skill. Smiths Sure Kidney Cure will
cure you in less time and at less ex-
pense than any other medicine in the

An evening that shines transcend
emily in the galaxy Of Brookhaven's
radiant events of like magnitude, was
that with which Miss Lulah Ragsda!e
favored her friends on Monday.
The evening was all the most ar
dent admirer of Miss Ragsdsle's
gifts in the Evolutionary art could
possibly have anticipated. Her ele-
CANT appearance upon the rostrum,
her beautiful, resonant voice, her
grace and naivette of manner, blended
into one harmonious whole, impaired
to her listeners something Of the ease
of the gifted reader and placed them
en- rapport with all she did or said.
Every number was vociferously encor-
ed and she was especially happy in her
choice of responses. To mention one
number of the program would be to
mention all, for, whether sad or gay,
pathetic or humorous, Miss Ragsdale
measured fully up to the ideal of Ell
ther, and her audience sat spellbound
under the magic of her art.
THE type of faithless woman" an
original production by Miss Ragsdale,
on account of its literary merit as well
as the readers inimitable skill and
vivid descriptive powers, which so
clearly portrayed the picture con-
ceived in her artist brain, received an
ovation; and it's praise was heard on
the streets as one passed along yester-
day morning.
Music was furnished by Mesdames
Willoughby and Johnson, Misses Sea
vey and Whitman and Mr.. Ragsdale, all
of which was of high order of excel
lence and contributed in high degree
to the success of the evening, which
closed with the pantomime, "Raise me,
Jesus, to Thy Bosom" This sweet and
popular song was sung by Miss Seavey
and Mrs. Willoughby, while Miss
Ragsdale, in pantomime, depicted ev-
cry emotion and longing of the bur
dened soul, expressed in the words
of the writer of the song.
Miss Ragsdale will give an evening
at Clinton at an early day and we be-
speak for her large audience.
