seclusion and try the moulded records
on it and you will be amazed at the ad-
vance made in the art, Columbia re.

ing prepared. The very best agricul-
tural experts of the United States, and
of the south in particular, will occupy
places on the program. The local in
terests have not been overlooked and
the practical discussions of every topic

greatest gathering of its kind held any
where in the south and fer that matter
in the United States. One can not
come in contact with such large body
of progressive and enthusiastic citizens

SeasOnabIe Styles in Millinery.

The flower toques were never 80 at,
tractive, and nothing more appropriate
can be chosen for present wear.
Burnt Tuscan aud black is q iavorite
combination for the hat that is intend
ed for actual service, and black and
white hats are always in good style.
That the crowns of hats will remain
low and flat is assured, and the square,
box crown charaeterizes many Of the
smartest shapes in straw, both small
and large.
Although the turban was worn dur.
ing the winter, it has come forth in
straws and in all of the dainty materials
belonging to spring and summer. A
rival to the turban is the sailor hat.
Soft, highly finished satin ribbons
are feature of many Of the new hats,
though in less exaggerated effects than
were used in the past season; flowers
are also conspicuous on the latest mod
els, and the sweeping ostrich plume
has not yet lost favor.
The aigrette is a very fashionable or
nament. In adjusting it ON the hat, il
is important that it slant over the top
of the hat from the back to the front.
There are all sorts of arrangements for
securing it, one of the most unique and
pleasing of which is the jet arrowhead.

About st. Patrick.

st. Patrick was born in Dumbarton,
Scotland, A. d. 3S7, died March II,
465. His parents were Scotch or Britons.
He came from noble stock. He spent
his boyhood days in Scotland. Pirates
carried him away to Ireland in his fif-
teenth year and sold him into slavery.
For six years he served us a shepherd
slave. He escaped and was recaptured.
He escaped a second time and went to
his home in Scotland, and there became
converted to christianity. Itwas while
praying that he received the divine call
to devote his life to the conversion of
the Irish. His parents opposed him.
They thought he should disregard the
call because he had already experience
ed enough sorrow in that land. But
he was ready to forego comforts, to en-
dure hardships, to leave home and ma
tive land if thereby the Irish could be
saved. The angel, Victorious, appear
ed to him in dream, saying, "The
voice of the Irish. We pray thee, holy
youth, to come and henceforth walk
among u.s." He began his mission
among his old slave companions. He
sought the leader of the clans and ev-
cry tribe in Ireland had heard and re-
ceived his religion. He established 365
churches. He established schools, mills,
factories and stores for general mer-
chandise. One of the schools at Armagh
at one time had 1000 students. Mis-.
sionaries went from Ireland to all Bri,
fanny. His churches were independent
organizations and remained so for five
centuries. In the eleventh century
William the Conqueror and Pope Gre
CORY VII brought the Irish churches
under the sway of the Roman Catholi,
church. There has recently been som,
controversy as to the church to whicl
st. Patrick belonged. In our opinion
his religion was broad enough to sui
anyone. Hewas in the full sense cath
olic. Editorial in Knoxville Sentinel.

The Stomach Is the Man.

A weak stomach weakens the man,
because it can not transform the food
he eats into nourishment. Health and
strength can not be restored to any sick
man or weak woman without first re-
storing health and strength to the stom-
ach. A weak stomach can not digest
enough food to feed the tissues and re-
vive the tired and run down limbs and
organs of the body. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure cleanses, purifes, sweetens and
strengthens the glands and membranes
of the stomach, and cures indigestion,
dyspepsia and all stomach troubles. n
