The New Drop Earrings.

From vogue.
 When drop earrings first came in it was mooted question whether they would prove becoming and be taken up by the best dressed women. They have proved more than successful and are now almost the sine qua non of an ultra smart toilet. Tall women are per- haps best adapted to the style, but many women of medium height wear them to advantage. One of the pret- tiest designs is the three or four small diamonds linked together and holding . round pendant pearl. woman of ir- reproachable taste and one who Is al- ways ultra smartly turned out, recently wore at dinner. pearshaped sapphires.

and IT is here that Katherine Grey,

THE NEW PARK.
transgressor.

The incessant rain of the past week brings
torclbly to mind the necessity for park and
pavilion and proper shelter and accommodation
Tor excursionists and picnickers who come to
Covlngton for an outing. Such a park should
be SO situated as to be Of easy access and as it's
most urgent need will be in times when stress
OF weather makes protection imperative, it's 10
cation should be high and dry, so as to afford
comfortable quarters at such times. There is
great difficulty in obtaining such piece of land
and the selection is of necessity limited at this
late day to the few available places. But the
Council is making arrangement for the pur-
chase of piece of land within four blocks of
the railroad, containing five or six acres that
were high and dry during the heavy rains Of
this week. which can be made into park that
will be both comfortable and attractive
The value Of such park to our community is
hardly realized, except by those who have in
vestigated as to it's necessity and whose bust
ness relations have brought them in contact
with the damaging effects of its absence.
We are heartily in favor of this new project
as we are for every measure that stands for a
greater and more prosperous Covington, and we
will next week go more into detail in explana-
ton of the arrangements that have been made
and the benefits to be derived

WILL APPEAR HEREAFTER.

The establishment of a Mayors Court, with
daily sessions and a regular docket, is feature
OF the new administration that we highly COM
mend as needed reform, and it was the inten-
ton OF the Farmer to aid in the discipline of that
Court by the weekly publication of it's proceed
lngs; but for two successive weeks cases have
come up Of reputable citizens, whose names it
was not desired should be made public in con-
nectlon with misdemeanors, and we have reluc-
family concluded not to publish them. Deeming
It unjust to publish some and not others, we
nave omitted the whole proceedings. Yet we
believe in SO doing we have been remiss in our
duty to the public, and under no circumstances
hereafter will we omit the name of any offender
tried in the Mayors Court If good citizens so
Tar forget themselves as to become transgressors
and amenable to the law and do things that they
are ashamed of, they must stand the conse-
quences. 1t is to the reputable citizen we look
Tor the support of law and order and the main
tenance of peace, and his inherent knowledge of
right and wrong makes him even more guilty
and responsible than the depraved and hardened
transgressor.

Abita Springs La, July 80, 1908
It was obtained, on excellent authority that the
branch line of the N. O.. G. N. R. R., from Sill
dell to Abita Springs, will be completed in the
near future Recently gangs were sent along the
road to overlook the work, and within a short
time, it is believed that operation for completing
the line will soon begin. This line passes through
Vaudeville and along the prettiest woods in this
section. No doubt this will be welcome news to
many who were growing impatient over the
long wait.

in consequence held indoors or postponed.

Hearst has succeeded in launching full
fedged Independent Party, with all the eclat Of
a triumphant force on the one hand and the pc
litical stoicism of the colonial martyrs on the
other. The formation of a new party from those
of the several parties who have not had strength
enough to impress the wisdom Of their ideas, if
good, or bow to the judgment that refuses to en-
dorse them, if not good, will hardly do more than
circulate Hearst money The tyranical rule Of
despotism that terminated in the freedom Of the
little band of patriots bears no relation to the
democratic rule Of the people, and any such
comparison is farcical.
