shirtwaist Men Of Pittsburg.

Tell us not in mOurnful numbers
There's death Of shirtwast men
Tell us not that this male fashion;
VIII be never seen again:
For now all about the city,
And on all its thoroughfares,
Men are going in a hurry,
And each one Il shirtwajst wears.
There's no gaudiness OF color
In this article of dress;
There are neither frills nor ribbons,
Not sign of giddiness.
orthese waists are made of flannel,
And the hue is modest gray,
And there's nothing indicating
They are meant fOrlmere display,
'Ronnd'the neck they're fitting snugy,
At the throat they're buttoning;
There are sleeves of faultless pattern,
So that arms may freely swing.
And these shirts are so constructed
That they're hanging gracefully
From the shoulders Of the wearer
Down to where his waist should be.
But the most effective feature
or these shirtwaists is the string
Which can he manipulated
For the incest puckerng.
And when the wearer's hungry,
And by inward pangs annoyed,i
He can draw the string i'm tighter
And close up the aching void.-
All around this bustling city,
And on every thoroughfare,
Go these men attired so neatly,
Caring notlhow others stare
They're the men who carry letters,
And Of heat they're not afraid;
They are cool when others swelter,
For in shirt waists they're arrayed.

Good rains visited this section last
Thursday and Friday afternoons. On
Friday afternoon the rain was very
heavy 8 or miles out west of Brook

washed away along the creeks and
branches and considerable damage
done to the crops on bottom lands in

Much of the old corn was blown or

of lightning. The cows belonged to

lightning struck large dead pine
tree in his field near the house, setting
it on fire, the shock being terrific.
Though damage was done in some
instances by the rain, as above noted,

have been greatly benefited. 1t

Brookhaven, June 3O.-The cotton
acreage in this section is about the
same as last year. The stand is fully
up to an average, though much of the
crop was replanted and did not come
up until May. In size the plant is two
weeks behind last years growth. Most
farmers report the crop clean, the
plant small, but fruiting we'll. The
dry weather of the last four weeks has
checked the growth and some report
the plant shedding leaves and turning
yellow. Copious local showers during
the last few days have broken the four
weeks drouth, which was becoming
serious. These rains are just in time
to save the old corn. Some blooms
are reported among the cotton. The
plant will now grow off nicely. Times
