TT has long been an article of faith
to believe in the charm" of West
ern women-even as in Kentucky,
where men swear by their women's
beauty instead of their Bibles truth.
But as charm is a mystical thing
neither brains nor beauty, but some
thing of both-'tis new thing. and
a welcome thing to find the brains
of Western women proclaimed to the
world
And to the S2inners' Club of San
Francisco does the credit belong for the
proud proclamation! And if you don't
believe Tits hard to believe anything
clever that's home made-just get
copy Of "Prcsit, a Book Of Toasts." sent
forth from Paul Elders last week And
if your hearts right, and your diges-
tion. you'll agree that that little gray
book of good fellowship is a trump.
Now, those sninuers, of whom there
are about forty and five wise and witty
women, put their pretty heads together
and concluded that there was a deadly
dearth of tasty toasts in Bohemia and
its suburbs, and 'twould be a philan-
thropic thing to CLEAN some good old
ones and to write some good new ones
and present them to a rather prosy old
world twixt covers.

member of the Waverly Hay Press
Company, a successful concern or
gained with a capital of $4,000
and chartered for FIVE factories ia
the State-two in East Tennessee,
two in Middle Tennessee and one
in West Tennessee. He SAYS that
they are making a very excellent
machine, one that can be put down
at the rick for SIS; that one small
mule will furnish sufficient power
to run it, and that it will bale as
rapidly as any machine on the
market. Other machines are heavier
and cost much more and are un-
handy to transport from one place
to another His machine can be
moved on an ordinary farm wagon.
It weighs less than 1000 pounds.
He adds that he prefers Union City
as q suitable place for the West
Tennessee factory, and would like
to see it established here. We as
sure Mr.. Hobbs that our citizens
will be glad indeed to open their
doors to the company in any man
ner that would appear as a proper
Inducement to them. A factory Of
this kind would be great advan-
age to US, and we believe the loca-
ion would help them in many
ways. Mr.. Hobbs is guest Of
