Southern cotton mills find it difficult
to obtain sufficient labor.

mills last year was in excess OF the
demand.
Three times as much American ma
chinery is sold in Australia now as
three years ago.

sively in South Africa, and most of the

States.
Missouri's poultry and egg crop last
year was greater in value than the

Harlem fat owners are talking about

A German physician says that all the
senses do not slumber simultaneously.
They fall into insensibility one after
another. First the eyelids obscure
sight, and the sense of taste is the
next to lose susceptibility. Smelling,
hearing and touch follow in the order
named, touch being the lightest sleeper
and the most easily aroused.
The atmospheric ocean surrounding
the earth is frequently disturbed by
gigantic waves, which are invisible
except when they carry parts Of the
air charged with moisture up into
colder atmospheric stratum, where sud-
den condensation occurs. In this man
ner long, parallel lines Of clouds some
times make their appearance at q great
height, marking the crests Of ripple
of air waves, running miles above our
heads.

property owners attention to the fact,
that each day of the year should be a
cleanup day. Clean premises are not
only healthful premises, but are more

Every good citizen should be anxious

Our idea of a good citizen, and We
are glad there are many in this COM
munity, is one always ready to give, ac-
cording to his means, to community
enterprises. He takes stock in them
all, and doesn't lose his faith if an
occasional venture proves bad. He is
not afraid to buy real estate and to
pay what it is worth. He talks up his
town at home and abroad, thinks it is
the healthiest place on earth, believ-
ing it to be destined to be the biggest
city in its section and wants to be
buried here when he dies. And he's
worth q whole regiment of the luke
warm kind.

There are too many boys and girls in
the country and city, more in the lat
ter than in the former. who are prone
To look upon work as beneath them.
There are thousands of them on the
threshold of maturity who retain the
same views and habits which found
encouragement in their earlier years.
What becomes of this class of people?
Some of them awaken and after dess-z
perate struggle overcome the habit
and learn TO work, to save, and to pre-
pare for the inevitable rainy day.
Many of them hCwever, drift and drift
until they become acceptable recruits
in the hobo army, Then they speedily
reach the conclusion that things are
mighty unequal in this world: that
advantages are all with the rich, and
that poor man has no show.

they didn't do it by accident.
Wouldn't it be handsome thing 10
do TO paint your hou e? 1t is nice
house has good substantial commn-
diouS look, and isn't rusty at all, you
know: but freSt coat of paint would
make it so bright! it's a pity not to.
Devoe is beautiful paint. but the
beauty or it is: it lasts so long, and
does so much more than adorn an al
ready interesting and attractive edi-
tlce, house. out buildings and fences.
There isn't man or woman in
town, who wouldn't see them and
make some pleasant remark.
of course, you will paint the town
property: nothing would mark your
administration more, in the eyes of
the people: and having done the same
thing at home, it is the most natural
thing in the world to do it for them.
Yours truly

There should be no faction" in any
city. The property of one individual
and every improvement made enhances
the value Of all property in the corpor-
alton. Our city is simply one big
family. When this is diSorded there
is little progress. When there is a
united pull for anything, its accom-
plishment is made easy. Envy, jeal-
ouSy and hatred are things to be de-
spised, Envy is canker that gnaws
at the heart and makes folks sour, dis
gruntled and unhappy; jealousy warps
the intellect and makes US unfair in
passing Judgment. Hatred doesn't
pay even from Sordid point of view.

CONCERNING DRESS.
Some Late FaRcies That Have Ne.
cone Popular with Follow.
efs Of the FashfDns.

Yokes of lace on which chenille in col.
ors il dotted in the shape of flowers are
pretty.
Bright pink, blue, red and white ties,
each solid color, are selling for so cen:.
q dozen, and the women who look at
them say they are sweet" With the
bright colors that are worn this year.
they can be worn with all pink, blue, red
or white suits with good effect.
Pretty and satisfactory corset covers,
in that they take up very little room and
fit snugly, are OF undervest material,
the finer snes of silk, cut with square
neck or pointed back and front. The
whole upper part OF the pointed ones
is of open work in the material, with in
sertions of lace gathered on top Of the
shoulder and tied with little ribbons.
In some of the corset covers the bust is
composed entirely of point de esprit.
A charming effect in color is produced
on white tea gown OF negligee, which
is trimmed with black lace, by putting
q bit of colored silk under the center of
the flower in the pattern. One Of these
pretty garments has flchu effect, the
fichu having long ends hanging straight
aalf way to the hem of the skirt. Around
the edge of this and q. the head, on the
edge Of the ruff1e, on the two ends Of the
rufHe, in the neck and sleeves is ap-
pliqued black lace of a marked pattern.
Under the centers of the flowers Of this
lace, which are about as large as quar-
terof dollar, is put little piece of rose
silk. The effect is somewhat oriental.
and it gives little touch of color to the
gown that makes it becoming, and
which has to be seen to be appreciated.
Il is hint which can be carried out in
many ways. The original is, of course.
