since which time the young lady has
not been seen, although Il diligent
search has been in progress i'll the
city and surrounding sections. Miss
Hannaman disappeared precisely as
she was attired while preparing break
fast on Tuesday morning. She wore
no hat, and did not have any OF her

theory that the young lady was prob

Most Appropriate Day.

Feb. Il is the most appropriate ua9
in all the year on which to announce
a nuptial engagement, and clever nos.
tesses are cOncciving odd and mover
ways in which to convey the news 10

One dainty way is to present each
invited guest--as they enter the room
with a long stemmcd flower. rose
or carnation, to which is attached, by
green or pink ribbon, little enVe-
lope containing pink heart on which
| the engagement is written.
| Another clever arrangement Is 10

That's the Idea.

Ny advice to you Is, daw your mon
ey out Of banks, build cotton mills, Oil
mills, roller mills. build your own
binders, thrashers, mowers, and all
manner of farming implements. Don't
try to make dividends" out OF your
investments, but make the things you
need. Sell them AT reasonable price
to your more unfortunate brother. You
can best succeed when your class sue

list to rob labor. That will not bene'
fit anyone but yourself. Use all your
mower, means and ability to further
the interest of the worker, for thai
will help all mankind, yourself includ
