1t is said that a number of men who
we're in the liquor business previous to
the raise in the cost Of the license are
continuing to sell liquor without
license. This is an injustice to the
liquor dealers Of the County and we
therefore call the attention Of the proper
authorities to look out for these people.
Some parties who are said to be doing
this reside in the northern and southern
parts Of the County.

New Industry.

It is rumored that movement is on
foot TO start a new industry in this
town, to wit. Laundry. Such an en-
terprise is badly needed and apart from
this fact we believe it can be made a
great success. There is business enough
in and around this town to support a
steam laundry, and with some one with
energy, push and industry at the head
to manage the concern it will not only
be paying Institution but further en-
ployment for several persons.

CoTJuees of Rome

The fashion of ladies' hairdressing
is constantly changing. but Lady
Evans demonstrated to the members of
the Royal Numl smatic Society in Lon
don the other night. that modern
styles have more than a slight resem-
blaBce to those in favor with the wo-
men or ancient Rome.
Lady Evans illustrated her address
by ancient Roman coins. In the re-
publican era the hair Of the women
was collected on the back Of the head
and fastened in a knot, but later a
more elaborate dressing was seen. Ald
the hair was drawn to the top of the
head and passed over the forehead.
In imperial times it was plainly
crimped. and had a. queue. which was
arranged In a series Of waFy curIs very
similar to the fashion in England at
the present day. The head Of F'aus-
tina. the wife of Autoufus Plus. was
shown in illustration of this style.
Afterward the hair was treated
more simply, and on a medallion Of the
head of the mother of Constantine the
Great il is seen to be covered with a
cloth band from Tnder which a fringe
of curis WAS arranged over the fore
head. At this period, too, Tae bun
coiffuTe was in existence style with
which modern ladies are very familiar.
