The Latest Summer Girl.

The extremely short skirt that had
things pretty well all its own way last
season is conspicuous in the later order
of things chiefly by its absence. Only
on the tennis ground-where a backward
reach after the ball may end in a fall
because of a too long skirt-does the
old-tme short skirt prevail, and here
only because of force of circumstances.
Its successor comes we'll to the instep,
and Is supposed to cover 1t when the
newer ma ndates of fashion are regarded.
The box pleated skirt is welcome vari-
ant upon the ubiquitous sunburst pat
tern, and In the plalds that surely

one Illustrated Is in a soft meange of
browns with pale blue and gold stripe,
respectively, defining a large block. and
everything the softer browns that make
the plaids. Such design is referred to
in the trade as an overplaid. The cut
is of circular persuasion, the box pleats
lying small and close together at the
waist line, spreading out In fan shape
toward the foot, where plain hem
makes the finish. The smart sailor hat
displays the telescoped crown done In
alternate rows of white and brown

Comfort Rules In Outing Costumes.
The summer girl Of this year of grace
has elected that a sensible plainness and
utility shall mark the costumes destined
for mountain and seashore wear; and
great Is ne comfort gained thereby. The
colored blouse or shirtwaist - the best
makers are shortening the name to shirt"
quite as though II belonged to the realm
of mans rather than womans attire-is
this summer; and for the cool morning
and resorts, the striped, plain or plaid
flannel shirt is quite the thing. An emf
nently practical model is that Of the pic
ture, In which a nonshrinkable flannel
In pink and rose stripes a paler pink
ground Is used. There is yoke across
the shoulders in the back, the fronts plain,
but for a couple Of small and unobtrusive
peats either side Of the throat fasten-
ing and the necessary fulness across the
chest arranged for in the broad cut under
the arm. The sleeves are comfortably
full at the top and pleated into a self
cuff that Is caught together with link
buttons and worn turned up. A detach-
able flannel collar and a patch pocket
one of the insignia OF this years make
complete the design; and rather large
pearl buttons are used for all fastenfngs.

there Is an extremely pretty tiara in

Great Demand

FOR THOROUGHBRED POUL-
TRY.-Because it pays to have the
best Chickens you can get. The Wyan-
dottes, Plymouth Rocks and Leghorns,
/ believe, from what can learn about
the poultry business, are some OF the
very best fowls for general use-for
eggs, the market and your table. Give
the poultry business this year more
attention. | think it will pay you.
The egg crop is no small thing-some
one has said that it amounts to every
year In dollars and cents more than
the great cotton crop Of the world.
Suppose you think about the poultry
business little this year; spend a few
dollars give 1t more time and some
attention. Why not help make North
Carolina great poultry State and the
good, old and historical Halifax county
the banner county for fine chickens
and Scotland Neck the largest and best
poultry market in the old North State? /?
We want to sell about two hundred
fine thoroughbred fowls, as we'll bred
and pretty as you can find anywhere.
Sample of these magnificent chickens
may be seen at our store. We are
large dealers in chickens and eggs, and
any one wanting to buy or sell any,
thing in the poultry line will do we'll
to call on US. }. d. RAY & Co.,

1869-19O6,
THE NEW n. B. JOSEY
COMPANY.
A $4,000 STOCK COMPANY.

| The incorporators OF this new COM
pany, which was organized January l
1906, are Mess. N. Biggs, N. B. Josey,
Tyler B. Wheeler, G. F. Burroughs
and Albion Dunn. The company was
organized to do a general mercantile
| business, buy and sell live stock, deal
in real estate, and engage IN manu-
featuring.
The present business had its origin
in Scotland Neck in 1869. The toun-
der was Mr.. Noah Biggs, who by his
industry, thrift and great business Ca
pacity in a few years built up busi-
ness second to none in Halifax county.
For several years Mr.. Biggs has not
been In active business, but now re-
turns to such pleasant business affairs
as engrossed him in former years and
becomes president of The N. B. Josey
Company. His host of business friends
throughout North Carolina and other
States will hail with delight Mr.. Biggs'
return to his former place in trade
circles and will be glad to enter into
business relations with him again.
Mr.. Tyler B. Wheeler, a young man
of sterling worth, who has had several
years of business training under Mr..
N. B. Josey, becomes the secretary and
treasurer of the new company.
Mr.. G. F. Burroughs, who also has
had fine business training under Mr..
Josey tor half dozen years, is stock
holder, director and salesman in the
new company.
In 1884 Mr.. n. B. Tosey became sue
cessor to the large and promising busi-
ness built up by Mr.. Biggs, and by
virtue OF the good and wise business
examples of Mr.. Biggs and the solid
foundation he laid for the business,
together with the result of his own
tireless energy, constant labor and
business sagacity, Mr.. Josey has at
tanned unto a standing and influence
which place him in the forefront
amongst the best business men of the
State, and he now becomes general
manager of the new company. His
many friends in the business world
will join III ngratulatlng Mr..
Josey upon the growth OF his business
and the now greater and broader field
for the exercise and development of
his fine business talents.
The N. B. Josey Company grows
out OF business that has the prestige
of having weathered the gales through
every panic since the Civil War, and
under the new organization starts out
one of the strongest mercantile con-
Germs in Eastern Carolina.
Besides the incorporators, there are
about twenty-five other stockholders OF
the company in this community and
they represent interests in almost every
phase of enterprise and industry in
this section.
The organization of this new CON-
pany means much to Scotland Neck
and community, tor by the combina-
ton of capital and influence the stock
holders will be able to serve the public
in signal usefulness from the stand

To linn Hazel, Practical Painter.

Painting is practical work. Skill
wins. It's the same with paint max
ing.
You know gallons L. & NJ. mixed
with gallons Linseed Oil makes
enough paint Tor a moderate sized
holse-the best paint money can buy
because the l.. l. M. Zinc hardens
the l.. & NJ. White Lead and makes
the l.. & M. Paint wear like iron.
Buy l.. & NJ. and don't pay 81 80 a
gallon for Lineeed Oil, as you do In
ready-for-use paint, but buy oil fresh
from the barrel at 60 cents, and mix
| with the L. & NJ.
J.. & M. costs only $1.20 per gallon.
