NEW FALL CITY,
NOW BEING BUILT
is LOCATED IN THE FORESTS OF
WINSTON COUNTY, ON THE
SURVEY OF THE ILLINOIS CEN
TRIAL RAILROAD.

Decatur, February 1O.-( Special.)-Far
from the beaten paths, remote from rail
roads in the midst of a forest of virgin
oaks and pine, and surrounded by rich
fields of iron and coal unknown to the
miners pick. a new town is being built
beside the murmuring waters of pictur
esque Cleer Greek Falls. in Winston
county.
The new town is to be known as Fails
City" Already the townsite is being laid
off into lots mad modern hotel and
large public school building are soon to be
erected by capitalists near the falls.
The promoters of the new town. are con-
fdent that before many more months the
Illinois Central railroad viii have trains
running through Falls CITY, over their
line, which is building from Corinth,
Miss, to Birmingham Two surveys of
this line have already been made, each
survey crossing Clear Creek near the
falls. Already the line of survey has been
graded as far as Haleyville, not many
miles distant from Clear Greek Falls.
Clear Creek Falls, although unknown
to but few on account of IT'S remoteness
from a railroad, Is one of the natural
wonders of Alabama. Civil engineers say
llldI lne power OF THESE ldIb is Nalu-
able. 1t is estimated that the power is
more than $500 horse.
There are two falls, some four hundred
feet apart. One is forty-three feet high
and fifty yards wide, and the other fall
is thirty-eight feet, Two and a half
miles away the waters Of Cleer creek
empty into the Sipsey river. The new
town of Fails City" will make an ideal
summer resort. The place lies sur
rounded with mountains and the scenery
and the invlgorating air cannot be sur
passed
Besides the Illinois Central the little
city in the mountain forest is to have
another road soon. The Harvey Lumber
company of Jasper owns some 5000 acres
of fine timber lands near by and this
company is now at work constructing a
railroad from Jasper. AS soon as their
road is completed the company will es.
tabish saw mills near the new town
and will commence cutting timber.

on the question, and, as a matter of fact, they seem to sum up the whole problem: "In love there are only in- divilual cases. Love blows wherever it likes. and its choice is not decided either by wit or beauty. However. the chances are in favor of pretty. witless women. because there is, fear, moro folly than wisdom in the world"
 NJ de F'lers the well known dram. atist. on being consulted, says he com- municated with friend whose ex. perience permits him to speak with au- thority. He received two telegrams. one at II a. m., the other at II D. m. The first read as follows: "There Is absolutely no doubt on the matter. A plain and clever woman is much more likely to be loved than a pretty silly one." The second message read: Pay no attention to this mornings telegram. In reality there is no doubt that very pretty woman who is not clever has more chance of being loved than clever one who is ugly" It still re- mains an open question, and every man to his taste!

SKIRTS TRIMMED AT BOTTOM.

Trimmed skirts are fashionable. but the trimming is almost all about the end of the skirt in wide bands. If the material is heavy, as satin or silk. then embroidery. lace or tulle forms the principal trimming, but in chiffon. net and all the gauges wide band of silk or satin at the feet. headed by a nar- rower band further up on the skirt. makes an attractive finish. besides pro. tecting the sheer material to an enor- nous extent Sometimes this band of silk or satin is quite plain. and again it is embroidered or finished with scal- loped edges. and 1t may be the same width all around or graduated toward the back so as to keep the top of the silk the same distance from the floor all around. This plain band of silk or satin is not restricted to the chiffon and lace gowns. but is also employed on after. noon dresses of cloth and voile.

 Always Interesting.
 Tn the matter of dressing there is no
 subject more fascinating than tnat oi
 hats. There is such field for cnoice
 in the way of size, shape. materiai anu
 mode of wearing. and since the time
 headgear first came in 1t has been 3
 study of superlative sartorial interest
 to the feminine world.
 This season. so far, almost every
 shape and size is appearing. but the
 excessively large hats are few and Tar
 between.
 The medium large hats will be in the
 lead. The very small hat requires
 tco careful arrangement of the hair.
 and absence of flying ends and rough-
 ness, to be a success with the Ameri-
 can woman The French wear the very
 small hat with great success. for they
 are past masters in the arts or the
 coiffure. Besides that the extremely small hat is trying, one need not DC handsome to wear it with good effect,
 but the lines of the face and or the coiffure must be clear cut, and the lat ter must be so arranged that the hat discloses no ugly indentations or un- wieldy punches in the arrangement Of the hair. The complexion should also l. ,J for defect Ot complexion and coiffure are thrown boldly out by the absence of brim on the headgear.
 Not So Popular.
 The short sleeved waists for morning wear that were popular last season are not on the counters for this year. While popular with the fair sex. it is whispered that the short sleeves are not so popular with the opposite sex and paterfamilias objects to too much undress or signs of carelessness in morning robes. Therefore, sleeves have grown longer and are most gracefully finished at the hand with .inty ruffies.
 Dimities and barred lawns in white are popular for negligees. and dotted
 swisses lead in the utilitarian breakfast coat. The dotted swisses launder many times over and look fresh and new after the flatirons, having a chic re- fined look to the very end. White, pale
 blue and pink challis, dotted with rose- buds, forgetmenots and wee flowers and faced with colored satin, are neat
 gowns for hotel rooms when travelling. Black silk negligees shirred about the
 shoulders are intended for ocean trav- eiers and may be had in pongees and in fancy silks to suit aesthetic tastes. A Winsome Novelty.
 All sorts of attractive little passe-
 menterie decorations come in the form of medallions, out of which fall silken | strands, finishing at the end with acorn shaped ornaments or silken balls. As the season advances we shall see | no end of trimmings of this style and immensely diversified both as to quali- ty and price. Just now they have not
 reached figure to put them within the reach of all. and for this reason
 are favored by most exclusive design. CTS. Later on-who can tell?
