Gloves For Sum m err.

White gloves have been In regular
fashionable standing for Il years now,
and by all signs and omens for reading
the future they are good for another
dozen years of modish patronage. Very
heavy cream white dogskin gloves are
the choicest dress for the hands in the
morning. These boast one button, not
of the patent clasp variety, and be-
cause they are of the shape and color
and easy wrinkled fit of those worn by
the smart Jehus who adorn the boxes
of handsome private carriages they
pass under the very descriptive title of
coachman's gloves, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch.
There is gun metal gray glace glove
stitched in white or silk of the same
shade as the kid and fastens with large
silver buttons that struggles with some
success for recognition among the well
gowned shoppers, who call them coach
ing gloves. In reality they are meant
for wear on the box seat Of trap, and
because every woman does something
more or less athletic these days the
morning gloves are as loose as the skin
on a high bred dogs back.

clan, which it is right he should do.
God bless the doctors! Many of them
are my friends and friendly to my
treatment. Heaven forbid that |
should ever say or write anything to
cast shadow across the path of my
family physician for he is next in con-
fidence to my pastor, and | feel that
| and several members of my family
owe our lives to his skill. But it is a
fact conceded by many of our medical
doctors, that, as rule, they do not
cure cancer troubles. Often when the
patient seeks the physicians advice he
is advised to ''let it alone" don't
bother it," etc. But as to whether or
not | have remedy for cancer trou-
bles, | am willing for the hundreds
who had the trouble and are now liv-
ing with the scars on them, to testify.
| have no other proof to offer as to
the truth of my statement. Many of
these troubles that have treated and
cured, had their origin in moles. eth
er red, brown or black ats nothing
but MOLE" you say. While that is
true, to my personal knowledge, many
are in their graves today as result of
a cancer who once said the same
thing: Its nothing but mole" All
moles do not terminate in cancers,
but know whereof l speak when
say that many of them do. Another
type of cancer first appears in the
form of a small tumor beneath the
surface of the skin and the patient
thinks little of it, but finally, when
rapid growth sets in, he becomes
alarmed and seeks the surgeons knife,
which only adds fnel to the flame.
My advice to all who have cancer trou-
BILE in any form is,
AS you value your life,
Avoid the surgeons knife.
Other troubles of a cancerous ma
ture, frequently appear in the form Oh
small pimple on the service. Whlle
there are many ways in which cancers
appear in their small beginnings, still
there is verv little difference in them
when they have assumed the maiig'
nant form. Cancer troubles rarely
ever appear in persons until they nave
past middle age, though they do some
times appear on young people; oa'
this is an exception to the rule. ltH
amazing to know how rapidly these
deadly troubles are increasing IN the
human family. Would to God tnae
l might speak loud enough that tne
world might hear me, when | say re
mOUe these troubles in time"
If you have trouble of cancerous
nature on or near the surface OF tne
skin, and will apply my remedy IN

never die with cancer. When your
trouble is removed by my Treatment
II it should ever appear again, 'he

EAST'S STEAM GlNNERY.
will be the Most Complete in south
Mississippi.

W. T. East's cotton ginpery, located
near the compress in this city, will be
the most complete and best equipped
of any concern of its kind in South
Mississippi when the ginning season
of 1901 opens.
This ginnery will have in operation
under tn e same roof two complete sys-
TENS Gullett Pneumatic System,
with 10saw stands and double box
press, and the Munger Vacuum Box
and Belt Distributing System, with 3
20 saw stands and double-box press,
making stands in all with total of
400 saws, which will enable the plant
to gin and press 60 bales per day.
Wagons loaded with seed cotton will
be unloaded by means of an air suction
pipe, which quickens and cheapens the
handling to the minimum point. After
the cotton has been carried in this
way to the gins and thence into the
condensers and presses and turned
out in the form of complete bales, the
bales will be placed on wire ropes and
carried by machinery to the compress
platform, thus doing away with any
more hauling by wagon. AS the seed
falls from the saws of the gin stands
they will be carried away by machin-
cry and loaded on farmers wagons or
in cars, as may be desired. All of the
machinery will be driven by fine 10
horse power engine.
The new Munger system has just
been placed in position, the Grlllett
having been in use the past season.
Last Saturday afternoon both systems
were subjected by Mr.. East to test in
the presence of Messrs. Covington
and Bass, of Hazlehurst, Mr.. j. Nj.
Barrett, representing the Continental
Manufacturing Co., and representa-
tive of THE LEADER, and, for begin
ming, the test was most satisfactory
and gratifying one. With such a gin
merry as this, located right at the Com
press, there is every reason why farm
ers, far and near, should bring their
cotton to Brookhaven this fall.

Hand Painted.

For some time abortive attempts
have been made to make hand painted
gowns fashionable. And there seems
to be some possibility that the idea
may be taken up this season. 1t will
certainly be caviare to the general, for
the very good reason that it will be a
mode which can only be INDUCED in by
those able to pay save in cases Of
course where girls are fortunate
enough to possess artistic talent. The
fashion prophets tell us that not only
gowns and blouses, but parasols and
stockings-nay, even gloves-are to be
adorned with hand painted sprays. The
effect will doubtless be pretty enough,
and, though of course the fashion is
bound to be an eXtravagant one, yet
the balance will be adjusted, as 1t al
ways is in these matters, since it will
give employment to many women who
can use their brush.
