NEW YORK FASHION LETTER.

New York. August 30-Early aut-
umn fashions are gradually coming in
and the present indications are that
there will be many changes before

One thing is settled-light-woolen
fabrics will be worn ~ late ~ possible

are Indispensable to an ultra smart
frock and when these must be laid
away for warmer materials, the
lightest weights Of ladies cloth, vene-
tiAn and broadcloth will be affected.
Brillisntine will also be one Of the
standard fabrics. There il 10 much
about IL which 10 commendable. The
lustres which 1t always boasts meets
the requirements Of elegance Of the
season and there is the additional
merit Of wear. Really there is not a
fabric on tbe market which can stand

sponging and pressing and renovating
look almost az fresh a. new. The
newer grades are l:ttle more expens.

then they are very wide and when one
considers all other advantages, the
extra expense can not be regretted.
All-wool crepe de Chine il another
ever popular material. A rather un.
usual gown developed in it is in sage
green, with darker shade Of taffeta
stripping the skirt very closely from
the waist to below the knees the lines
separating, or. rather. the spaces
widening towards the ends.
The effect is charming and it gives
slender appearance to the figure.
The bodice is one Of the small loose
boleros, and is also striped with
taffeta and worn over blouse OF
white silk. finished with fAgot stitched
tucks and white batiste embroidery on

EE is A DEMOcRAT ~

.'The democratic party Of this
county. or At least the major portion
Of IL, IL made up Of ex-populists and
silver republicans ~ well ~ republi-
cans" so says Ex Parte in leading
editorial in which he sees only repub-
iican victory in the election this fall.

crats don't see what there is in it TO
indicate that EI PArte is democratic
sheet.
And then comes touching plea
from the states man editor for recogni-
tion. He pleads for the respect Of
democrats. Here is what he says:
mo one will deny that the recent
recruit to the democratic party is
worthy OF all respect and that Doth-
ing but his honest convictions has
caused him to throw his future with
them
Now how can the democrats steel
their hearts against this new recruit
with the honest convictions. They
ought TO take him in to their councils
and allow him to dictate their pol
icies and name dates for primaries
and conventions. Being such strong
nnion man. you know, he has mighty
following from the ranks Of organized
labor.
Sort Of joke. isn't itl

Poor old Moore is getting all balied
up. For year he has been writing
double column editorials showing that
the republican party is the party Of
trusts and corporations. And now he
accuses the Standard Oil trust and the
mill trust with having controlled the
democratic primaries. Moore Seems
TO be the only man in Florence who
has not fallen under the baneful in.
huence Of the trusts. But ne is q

at is a great mistake to conclude
that you can get along without adver.
tising. The man who decides to dis
pense with advertising should natu.
rally expect bis business to grow less

the subject of whether he expects to
continue to live long enough to out
live the prosperity which bis past ex-
ertiou may force upon him. If be is
able 10 get along without advertising
this year he will be able to get along
with less help next year, and each year
will see decrease in the volume of

When the railroad is completed,
which seems will be within less than
year, Providence will get big trade
from the lower end of Chicot county,
Ark. 1t is thickly settled and the
owners of the large aud magnificent
plantations that border on Grand Lake
will no doubt come here for their
supplies. 1t will take hustliDg by our
merchants and business men to induce
them to come this way, but we believe
that it can be done. There is no town
on the line of any consequence, or can
burt Providence, and as several gen.
tlemen around Grand Lake told Us,
the building of this railroad would
draw an immense trade from that
country aud they were very much
afraid that they would feel it to large
extent.

EASTER RABBITS THAT LAY
EGGS ONCE A YEAR.
A Tale of the Goth Century.

| The Famous has secured the only
two rabbits in the world that lay Easter
Eggs. They were shipped here from
far-away island in the Pacific
ocean. They belong to the great Kika-
poo Wokapuk, King of the Wam-
vans. There is legend in this mys-
| FERROUS island that he who eats one of
these eggs will. live forever King
Kikapoo keeps q guard of 500 Woka-
pusians, armed with javelins and stone
hatchets, guarding the sacred rabbits
all the time, day and night. They lay
only once year, at day break on Eas-
ter morn. TheKlng and has subjects
celebrate the event by getting on a
"high lonesome" and raising sand gen.
orally. AT day break. just. after the
rabbits lay the eggs, all loyal Wokapu-
slams. headed by the King and his royal
wife. the beautiful and black Roseolo
Sobobo, carry small leaf of the
sacred cabbage to the rattan cage
where they are kept aud deposit it
there with songs and dancing. The
King and Roseolo Sobobo then eat an
egg each in the presence of the assem-.
bled natives, after which The entire
week is spent in feasting and dancing.
This custom has been in vogue for the
last 1900 years, The King allows no
strangers to enter his domains, Hamil-
ton and Kennedy being the only ami
mails that have ever been invited to
visit the island since Christopher Col
umbps crossed the pond, except DR.. +.
E. Artaud. The sacred rabbits will be
shipped back at II O'Clock tonight,
guarded by six picked Wokapusians
from the mountains of Redhotto
Birthstone. The KING is so stuck on
Hamilton e. Kennedy. that he has
placed an order with them for 500
uniforms, for his Rabbit Guards, be-
SIDES stylish spring suits for himself,
made by Strauss Bros, Americas
Leading Tailors. He has also ordered
the Royal Chambermaid of Queen
Roseolo Sobobo to select the most
beautiful Spring hat The Famous can
sell, regardless of cost, and have it |
shipped over Immediately and at once,
if not sooner.

We have not heard lately whether
appropriation proceedings have been
begun against the property owners
who refused to give the right-of- way,
but the LIST of April is near at hand
and the matter should be settled. We
believe that the two or three land
owners who have refused to donate
the right-of-way through their prop
erty, will yet do so. They should be
more maguanimous and public spirit
ed than to see their Deighbors and
fellow citizens pull the money out of
their own pockets to pay for this land
which will have 10 be done if they do
not give what is asked. We believe.
and hope, that these gentlemen will
yet see their error in not doing go.
and stop the appropriation proceed
ings, which will be necessary.

senger and ticket agent of the popular
Valley road, has received notifi-
cation that new parlor and chair car
would soon be attached to the day
train running on the New Orleans
division. Superintendent Grief and
Mr.. Pearce have been recommending
this additional car for sometime, but it
is only now that it has been ordered
and will be put on just as soon as it
can be gotten ready. A chair car will
add very much to the comfort and
pleasure of those who prefer to travel
on the day trains, and will be well
coined all along the line.
