Fridays Our
REMNANT DAY.

Tomorrow we shall clear out the odd things,
small quantities, short ends, broken lots and
present week. Some things are soled or
mussed, but the majority of them are fresh,
seasonable goods, and they are marked for
the quickest possible selling. Dress Goods
remnants are unusually interesting. The
assortment is large and includes the most
popular kinds, weights and colorings. The
lengths are anywhere from two yards to eight
yards-enough for a waist a skirt, walking
suit, child's dress, The prices are half, q
third, and quarter below the usual. And
besides a goodly gathering of the usual kinds
of remnants, special attention is asked to
some bargain lots of goods purchased for and
marked at very low prices for this occasion.

New Arrangement of Stars in the Flag

For years the lack Of symmctry and
historical significance in the arrange
ment of the stars ON the blue field Of
our national flag has been a subject
of comment among observing patriots.

question of It's adoption will be

II was a work requiring more
pears. With a given number of stars
to get a design that would Commem-
orate the greatest number OF events
in the history Of the country and
yet secure a symmetrical and artis'
tic effect, was the task Mr.. StallncCk-
er set for himself.
The center group OF thirteen stars
represents in his flag the thirteen

Revolution, or at the time of the adop.

circle of twenty-three stars represents

Mr.. Andrew Simonds. of Charleston,
is convinced that their powers OF
vernacular are superior to his talent
for ineligible description.
He was n day trying to interest
his little girl, nearly 3 years old, by
telling her stories of the circus. She
loved horses and was particularly
impressed by the fcats of the bare
back riders,

that fine?"
The little one looked up, very
grave, her eyes full of the doubt and
credulity that so often puzzle us
"Yes-he had many legs-that

And had to go all over that story
again, said Mr., Simonds.

CHAPTER MIL.
The t'ateful Hour.

Charlie looked after the r%etreating
figure of Capt. Brand. and was in
doubt whether to take him seriously
or consider his threat a huge joke. He
soon resolved to dismiss from his
mind Capt. Brand and all he typificd,
and seek repose.
He gained the sanCtity of his room,
and, lighting the gas, sat down to
have a last deliberation ere retiring.
All seemed capable OF running in a
smooth groove, but the best laid
schemes of mice and men gang aft
agley." Bobby Burns tells us. and who
has not found it true in his own ex.
%perienCe?
Charlie retired. Whether he slept
soundly or not concerns us little. but
under the circumstances IL is hardly
probable that his slumber was very
refreshing.
There was o. great a load on his
mind,
He felt very much as a man might

Charles previous bitter experience
had caused him to feel more or less
caution, with a shade of distrust to-
ward the gentle sex, and against this
he had to fight.
Could he have known what lay be
fore him, under what fearful condi
tons he was fated TO win his sweet
heart, even his bold warrior spirit
might have quailed a little.
1t is just as well perhaps, that these
things are mercifully hidden from ouI
view-just as well that we need only
grapple with each diff rulty as 1t ap

yard Pests. 4

For several years past the vineyards
in the important wine growing dis.
trict of B%eaujolais have suffered great.
ly from the attacks OF numerous flying
insects, the most important of which
is known as the pyralid. Last year,
says the Electrical Review of London.
a series of experiments was carried
out I'm one of the large vineyards TO
see II the insects could be caught by
bright lights burning at night. An
apparatus was constructed, consisting
of an acetylene generator holding
about six ounces of calcium carbide.
over this was a circular metal dish
about twenty inches In diameter, and
over this at a height of about eight
inches a single acetylene jet giving a
small, bright light at about ten candle
power. This light the carbide was SUI.
fcient to keep burning for six or eight
hours. In a basin a layer of water was
placed, and on top of this a layer OF
kerosene or some other cheap oil. of
which about two fluid ounces were re.
CURED. These machines were set up
about $50 yards apart and were set
in motion at dusk. preferably on dark
nights. On the first night one lamp
caught 1900 pyralids and 2lS moths
OF other kinds. During July the lamps
averaged 5000 insects per lamp per
night. The expense of the lamps is
reported to have been two cents per
night zach, or about two and a half
cents per night per acre. II is said
that this method Of catching noxious
insects is more eficaclous than any
method which has been tried before.

and not man under the influence
of liquor was to be seen.
Hon. l.. P. Padgett was the only
candidate present. He spoke in his
own behalf and his reception was
highly encouraging to his hopes
Fl. P. Figuers, Esq, spoke in sup
port of the Democratic Judiciary
nominees, but appealed especially for
a large vote for Judge Holding and
Mr.. J. B. Garner. The latter, he
said, was young, handsome and an
married, and he commended his can
didacy to the young ladies' OF the dis.

future in their hands. The young
ladies present seemed to approve OF
this disposition of the case, and from
the applause they gave the speaker.
Mr.. Garner received rousing good
vote along Cathey's creek.
