A novelty in the way of wedding

Old Nearoes.

Mr.. S. q. Day, of zetus. was alcaller
at this Office last Friday. Mr.. Day
gave The Leader some interesting
facts regarding an aged negro man and
woman who live on his farm four miles
from this piae, near zstus. The
woman's name is Anise Taylor and, as
near as can be reckoned, she is 125
years old. She is deaf, and blind and
all but helpless. This woman is the
mother-i law Of Simon jackson,
who lives with her, and i s
himself 100 years old, with snow
white hair and beard and is unable to
rise. When stood up on his feet he
walks about by the aid of his cane
The wife of Simon is 70 years of age
and is the only dependence of the two
more aged negroes. She takes in wash.
ing and doctors among the children
of the neighborhood. When she leaves
in the mornings she places a small
bucket of water between the two, so
that they can quench their thirst
through the day in her absence, and
they remain alone throughout the sun
lit hours, sitting in the solitude and
desolation of old age and poverty.
The old negroes were brought from
Simpson county by Mr.. Bill Lar
kin to this county in the early SOS.
Mr.. S. G. Day permits the aged crea.
lures to occupy the house in which
they live. They yehemently object tc
being taken to the county poorhouse
Mr.. Day states that the home now
needs roof. 1t seems to us that il
would be fitting thing for some OF
the colored benevolent organizations
of this vicinity, to look into the neces
stiles of these old people of their race
and to make the last days of their long
pilgrimage as comfortable as possible.

or less rich in lime salts. In fact, the
regular regime for producing a healthy
body, such as wholesome foods, outdoor
exercise and well-ventilated sleeping
rooms, is all that is necessary to produce
well-developed teeth.
Then, too, the teeth need exercise to
make them strong, just as much as the
muscles do. Consequently, the constant
use OF liquid and soft foods will give
teeth SO little to do that from the in
exorable law Of disusei they will suffer
decay.
Not only from an aesthetic standpoint
are good teeth absolutely necessary for
the cosmic completeness Of the face, but
from a functional standpoint they are es-
sential for the mastication of food and
for the proper articulation Of words in
speech.
Hygienically, too, the teeth should not
only be kept sweet and clean for their
own sake, but for that of the health If
they are allowed to collect particles of
food they will become the breeding ground
for disease germs or bacteria, which will
in turn be carried into the stomach and
inteStines and there be absorbed and
finally carried into the entire system, I'M
til the health is seriously impaired. In
addition to this, the teeth will be at
tackled by these living organisms, or bac-
terra, and decay will be the result
The statement may sound paradoxical
but 1t Is a true one, nevertheless, that the
proper time to begin to care for the child's
teeth is in infancy, before it has any
teeth. In other words. during the period
of dentition. which usually starts at four
months and continues thru the third year,

and Misunderstanding pearl buttons, win
appeal to her at once.
Her sister, with the Junoesque type Of
build, however, will take as her especial
property the new design, which Is mod
eled upon the English ulster. This is best
expressed in the tweeds, and when fash
toned with the fitted back and sides and
the semi-fitting fronts-these latter hav-.s
ing the extremely straight front line
which is SO fashionable-the erect car
riage and the well-proportioned figure Of
the wearer shows off to full advantage,
with the added attraction Of the wearer
and the garment being each well suited
to the other.
The fluffy girl will look her very best at
tired in one of the new silk raincoats.
These have the outer appearance of a
rich. dress silk. They are adorned with
lavishly embroidered shoulder capes, col
lars cuffs, and even pocket flaps are not
exempt from the desire to make this as
dressy and elaborate a garment as pos
sible without in any wise interfering with
the purpose for which 1t Is intended.
Brafds and braidings, buttons and en-
| broideries with touch Of gold, both hand
and machine executed, are not thought at
, all outre on the SWEETEST of these very
swell garments.
And a word about the hats which are
appropriate to wear with these smart rain
coats. The English women, to whom we
must acknowledge measure Of indebted
! ness for these charming garments, have
always had a penchant for walking in the
rain, knowing full we'll that there is moth
ing more beneficial to the complexion than
a rainbath for the face. To get this to
its fullest extent they almost invariably
discard the umbrella; hence the hat which
accompanies the raincoat must be water
PROCTOR something which will stand the
rain without resulting damage-too. The
patent-leather sailor with a medium high
crown and broad brin Is recent revival
| in this direction, and when the right
block is selected and worn with smart
veil to keep the tiny strands Of hair around
the face, the result is sure to be good.
| But no matter what the shape, the hat
must be Of the snug, close-fitting order.
There are turbans of various shapes among
which at least one becoming chapeau can
be found for everybody, and there are
smart little Breton sailors, toques and
other simple shapes which may be
! plainly and severely trimmed without
ing any Of their attractiveness.

they represent in their shapely and grace
full lines the very best that Dame Fashion
has to offer.
And the uses to which these swagger
wraps are put belle the title Of raincoat,
for there Is not purpose Of dress as a
wrap to which they cannot be applied, and
that to advantage, too.
The smart girl uses them as general
top coat and wears them with her morn
ing shirt-Waist suit, her pedestrian frocks
and for sill sorts Of informal wear gen
orally. She takes them for the auto trips,
for they are not only waterproof, but
windproof and dustproof besides, and
while the cravenettes are deliciously cool
to wear, they ward off the wind in such
fashion that they are a comfortable wrap
even on the coolest days.
Quite fad of the auto girl is to have
an adjustable hood fashioned from the
and this Is attached to the garment when
needed. Very quaint, indeed. does she
look with her fair face peeping out from
the frilled and ruched and ruffled edge
as she speeds by smiling in the face of the
wind and weather.
For the ocean voyage there is nothing
, that can surpass or supersede the rain
coat. Here all Of their good qualities are
called into play, and each one of them
the ocean voyager reserve her Oldest
frocks for the trip and bundle up In any
old sort Of way. Quite the contrary, she
picks out her best tailor-made and her
smartest cravenette for shipboard wear,
for nowhere else on earth does the para
phrase of the old adage hold good as on an
ocean steamer: "By their clothes shall
| We know them"
And not to limit the possibilities Of the
later-day ratncoat, it has even been known
to do duty for an evening wrap on occa-
sion.
There Is not girl who will not find her
individual style expressed in the new rain
coats, no matter what style she affects.
The tailor-made girl will hail with joy
the coats Of covert and tweeds, these be-
ing exactly the same goods as her brother
from whom she borrows so many of her
fascinatingly boyish ideas-has his over
coats made from. If she be of the svelte
and slender type. then the blouse style,
with Its smart double-breasted cut and
puffy front, fastening with some handsome
