Garden party gowns require some
thing very picturesque in the way of
hats. and among the most fashionable
styles now worn are the Dolly Warden
and the ever beautiful Gainsborough
two very opposite styles. but both
having a very great deal to commend
them. The Dolly Warden hat looks
hest as an accompaniment to sim
pie white muslin OF chiffon gown. For
instance. such a one as that Diane
that admired SO much at garden
party on Saturday afternoon. The
pretty white chiffon dress. with many
frills, was distinctly in 1880 style,
with its long sash ends and soft belt
of pale blue ribbon. and the Dolly Var
den hat was veritable inspiration.

chiffon and crown of closely-massed

a Successful Farmer.

Mr.. j. +. Otto, a successful farmer Of
the Sidon vicinity, was a recent caller
at this sanctmm. Mr.. Otto has one Of
the best farms in the county and he has
successfully demonstrated the fact that
money can be made raising cotton with
out negro labor. If all of the lands Of
the county were owned by small farmers
like Mr.. Otto, this section would soon
blossom as the rose.
