Complaints of cotton shedding and rusting are still received but not so general as previ

 rapidly and picking Is active, though pickers are scarce in some localities,
 the top crop will be light, and the in- dications are, if the weather continues
 favorable, that the staple will be pick ed earlier than usual, with yield quite as good as that of last year. Early corn is being gathered slowly, on &C., count of cotton picking taking prefer

Pastures. gardens. and all minor crops have improved, where rains were re- ceived. The saving of hay continues with an excellent yield.

A glorious gathering of Autumn and Winter Suits, Skirts, Waists and Coats will be ready for the opening visitors, These have been collected with utmost care. andthey form a ravishing procession that will delight your eye with new beauties as each one passes in re- view before you. The chief style note of these Autumn garments is Military with just a faint hint of the Directorate. Each one has some stunning style feature in sleeve, skirt or trimming that lifts it out of the common line and stamps it an actual creation. The color leader is Brown with a nice range of other pleasing shades for those to whom the browns are not quite becoming. The skirts are inclined to be short, especially convenient and comfort able lengths for walking, with a profusion of plaits, gores and kits. The new afternoon and evening Waists are perfect dreams of radi ant beauty, elaborately trimmed with lace, with ribbons, with pip ings, the new Tom Thumb tucks and the new punched or repousse effect. In colors the new Waists fairly vie with the rainbow. form ing perfect kaleidoscope of rich and dainty tints.

Geo, ". Brown Tor supervi.or.

Soon will be time to elect city officials
and as the writer is a voter in the
first ward we will nominate Geo. W.
Brown, the present supervisor fol
another term. AS is well known
George is now chairman of the
county board and in position to get
what is due this city from said board.
A great deal more so then any new
member would or could do. George
will no doubt be reelected for another
year on the county board, as it is
usual to give at least two terms
to chairman. He has done a great
deal for Pittsville in the past as a
member of the county board and can
no doubt do as much in the future.
We hope to see his election unanimous.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a
