Among all the fabrics for spring gowns voiles and mohairs seem thus far to be far in the lead in the race for favor. Wom- en almost without num- Der have decided that nothing else is quite their equal-and as a natural consequence the supply is fast becoming small.
 This store has a good and large and handsome lot on hand; a stock from which choice can be easily made NOW. May have to tell a different story in a month, though.
 There's a particularly good voile at a $I. It's springy and wiry yet it fits gracefully to the fig ure and drapes nicely, Oits mesh is of medium size, it is strong and handsome, and the shades of blue, tan and gray are especially pretty.
 Cream mohair at $I, at 75c, at soc. And cream mohair is the scarcest of scarce things.
 Cream sicilian. finest quality that's imported, extra width-$I.5o..
 Blue mohair, either plain or colored, $I yard.
 Pretty blue mohair at 75c and soc. One at soc is dotted with white me tallic spots; fine for waists.
 
 Black mohair too. As fine a black cloth as was ever made for spring and summer. Light, cool, how it shakes the dust.
 Good qualities at soc, 75c,$I to $I.75. Some for less, but soc is as cheap as it pays to buy.

This is an institution which, judging by the interest shown in it by those who should have some interest there, is capable of running itself, as no one asks any questions as to how the ex- penses are met for moving, trimming and keeping in repair. Yet this must be done every year by some one.
 It costs s1O year at the least to do it. The association has S88.33 in the Newtown Savings bank, which gives an income of less than S4. There is occasionally lot sold bringing in s1o. This has been applied to meet this ex- pense as far as it goes, but is a very uncertain source of income. Some times the interest of the legacieS left for the care of the individual lots has not all been used and has generously been given to help out in keeping up the cemetery, but this is also uncer- tain. So when no lots are sold there is no money in the treasury to meet these expenses unless by drawing from the amount in the bank, which should not be done.
 The association is now owing $17 for moving the cemetery for 1901 and 1902. The question is, how shall this be met, as the treasurer does not feel like re- ducing the small account in the bank. A few have come forward and given $1 to help out, bu. S17 is needed to bal ance the account.
 There are enough who are interested who could give $1 or more, to not only meet this but provide enough for the future, and the treasurer would urge all who are disposed to do so, to leave such sums either with Amos L. Flaw ley, the president, or E. N. Hawley, treasurer.
 The question is now being agitated of trying to get together enough mem- bers of the association to hold a meet ing to see if something cannot be done to arouse an interest in the matter and place the association on better finan- cial basis. The last meeting at which a quorum was present was March 25, 1893.-TE. N. Hawley, Treasurer.

VERY OLD CHECK cAsHED.
ss Was Drawn Over Tw wenty Years Ago, Bat Was Good for
 the Money.

In the year 1879 c. w. Merchant, of his city. was engaged in buying cattle all over this part of Texas, says the Gal weston (Tex) News. In those days Fort Worth was the headquarters for bank ing business. and Mr. Merchant, in com mon with all cowmen, had his money on deposit in one of the banks there, While in Haskell county that year he purchased five head of beef cattle from a MT Mobley and gave his check for S100 On account of the distance from Fort Worth and the inconvenient fa- cilities for transacting such matters, Mir Mobley did not present the check for payment until six months after it's date When presented the cashier inc formed the gentleman that Mr. Mer- chant had long since closed his account with the bank. Nothing further was ever done to collect the check until recently both gentlemen met in the town of Haskell, just 21 years later, and began talking of "old times.
 MT. Mohley suggested to Mir, Mer- chant that he held an unpaid check signed by him and dated 1879, and wantek to know if it was stlll worth soo cents on the dollar. He was in- fsrlrad that it was, and on inquiry as to bow it came into his possession eX- planStious followed and MT Mobley got his $i0o.
 Tn s~aking of the incident to the News correspondents MT Merchant said that in 1879 he purchased something like S60,O00 worth of cattle, and most of them in small herds, and that, with 8 saddle horn" for memorandum book it was very easy to lose run of sl00 cheek

MISTAKEN FOR "J0HT L."
An Amusing Anecdote Regarding the Late siF Arthur
 Sullivan,

Among the many anecdotes of the late Sir Arthur Sullivan which have been travelling through two hemi- spheres since the death of the eminent composer, the following, as told in Sir Arthurs own words, is by no means the worst, says the Brooklyn Eagle
 q was travelling on a stage in rather wild part of California, and ar cived at a mining camp, where we had to get down for refreshments. As we drove up the driver said: They are expecting you, Mr Sullivan was much pleased and when l reached the place I found knot of prominent citi- zens at the whisky store. The fore most of them came up to a big burly man by my side and said; Are you Mir Sullivan?' The man said No, and pointed to me The citizen looked at me rather contemptuously, and after awhile said: Why, how much do you weigh?
 q thought this was a curious method of testing the power of a composer, but I at once answered: About 162 pounds. We'll said the man, that's odd to me, anyhow. Do you mean to say that you gave fits to John s. Black more down in Kansas CityY said: No; l did not give him fits He then said. Well, who are you? Ireplied My name Is Sullivan 'Ain't you John L. Sullivan, the sluggerp I disclaimed all title to that and told him was Ar thur Sullivan Oh. Arthur Sullivan?' he said. Are you the man as put Pin afore" together?'-rather gratifying way of describing my composition. l said: Yes We'll returned the cit izen, T am sorry you ain't John Sull. van; but still I'm glad to see you any way--let's have drink.
