Some Excellent New Gown Models.

ends Of the long lace points. which fell somewhat in redingote effect over the skirt. Panne velvet ln deep violet edged the sleeves and the top of the corsags. and formed the folded glrdle. and the neck was partly nlled iu with folds of white tulle
 The seated figure shown among the sketches shows a smart gown of brown dotted net, made over white tafreta. with \ yelling of brown mousseline. Bias lib- erty satin was used to form the twisted design which decorated the high girdle, and the design on the bodice and sleeve finish. White chantilly lace formed the yoke and undersleeves. band of very heavy eluny being used on either side Of the front.
 The skirt was laid in small plaits about the hips. and WAS finished about the bot tom by bands of brown liberty satin.
 The midwinter season brings into notice great many black and blacka nd -wliie gowns. which are much in favor. aud among the more expensive novelties are shown those made of tulle with beaded embroidered and beaded borders. mixed with silver embroidery.
 The vogue of the all-blsck frock brings jet into great demand, in both nne and heavy embroiderIes. One very smart frOck worn by New York actress was in black silk mOusseline. made with deep, square-cut bodice. outlined and handed with jet. and with the loose kl- mono sleeves of cream lace, also Dor dered with \ heavy applique line of jet. The decoiletage had tucker" of white lace and tulle and the overskirr. which fell In point in The middle of the front and back. was bordered by bands of jet.
 For full evening dress the tendency among the imported gowns shown Is i0 eliminate the sleeve as far as possible, . few fOlts of tulle belug made to do duty. or else \ transparent drapery more or less on the wing order. or else of the wide sling description. The elbow sleeve, Is still in favor. but one finds the closely fitted sleeve or some form of loose sleeve rather than that in pun form.
 Among the hlgh-neck gowns of less elaborate character than those just de scribed l have recently seen several nov cities. One very stunning costume. which was intended for carriage or reception wear. had short coat of moleskIu. worn with bodice and skirt of Soft. rich satin matchlng the fur in color. The skirt of the gown was cut circular. with the seam down the middle of the front. and was absolutely ciingins and plain. the bodice being embroidered In self color. with poiut'd yoke of fine lace. A little crayat in light shade of cerise gave a relieving note of color.
 Velvet gowns mostly on the princesse order, with a suggestion c; Empire lines. are also shown for the mldwinter season. and are especially fashionable in the dark shades of raupe. plum and drab grays. in black. fin nnttier blue. and also in the striped Nelvets and relyeteens

Statistics of the health department show pneumonia to be one of the most fatal diseases. especially during the winter months. The records show numerous instances where neglect of an apparently insignificant cold has developed pneumonia without warning.
 IL is the better part of wisdom to check a cold at the outset. Take two ounces of glycerine. half pint of good whisky and a half ounce of Virgin oil of Pine: mix thoroughly and use in teaspoonful doses every four hours. This formula is said to break up a cold in twenty-four hours. and cure any cough that is curable. It has been found that five ounces of tincture Gin chona compound can be used instead of whisky. with the same result.
 The ingredients are inexpensive and can be purchased without trouble at any good drug store. To avoid sub stitution of some inferior pine product

of good Para grass. if cut and fed will feed two head of stock the year round; in pasture three acres will fatten four head. This grass is an evergreen of very stout growth, very nourfshing and will exterminate all weeds.
 Alfalfa does well here but is not fed to stock because of It's tendency to ploat and kill them.
 Corn is the leading grain crop of this locality: two crops of the large varie- ty, such as is raised in Iowa and Kan sas. being raised in one year. and will yield from twenty-five to forty bushels per acre.
 Hogs do well and are raised on Para grass and alfalfa and are fattened on corn for the market, the price of hogs being from ten to fifteen cents per pound. Sixty-five per cent of all lard and pork used from the United States, pay ing a duty of from four to six cents per ponnd.

A FINE DRIVEWAY 10
 SOUTH SIDE POSSIBLE
If the Project of Building a Bridge Across Salt River Meets With De. served Success.

There has been more or less discus sion recently in the local press as to a project under way for a substantial wagon bridge connecting the north and south sides of the river to be built south of Phoenix.
 Hedring that Mir. Dwight B. Heard was interested in this project a re- porter questioned Mir. Heard on this subject yesterday. In response 10 a query as to whether such a project was under way MT. Heard said that for some time this matter has been under consideration and that recently the property owners on the south side of the river got together and raised a considerable fund for an in vestigation as to the best site for such a bridge location. and propose to fol- low this up by careful investigation as to the proper type of bridge and its probable cost.
 Mir. Heard stated that a part of the proposed plan is to confine the flow of the river to q certain prescribed channel by building a series of levees and it is estimated that after the com pletion of the Granite Reefs dam and aiAbGicE pl oi the Roosevelt dam. that the maximum width Of the channel. properly regulat ed with levees, will not exceed 400 feet. which space 1t is proposed to cross by either a steel or concrete steel bridge.
 Asked as to the probable cost of this bridge, MT. Heard said that no definite figures could be given until the engin- eering reports had been received, but the cost would probably be in the vii cinitY of S60.0e0.
 Mir. Heard further stated that the owners of nearly sixteen thousand acres south of Phoenix on the other side Of the river. have shown a will ingness 10 bear a reasonable assess ment per acre for the cost Of such a bridge, and ,Is for many years wagon bridge has been needed connecting the two sides of the valley, it is believed that the project will receive almost unanimous support, and that the coun- ty will be justified in bearing a req sOnahle portion of the expense of con-

Truck Growers.

A special meeting of the Union
City Truck Growers Association
was held at the City Hall IN the
city Monday afternoon to investi-
gate and confer upon matters con-
corning the prospects of establish
/, ing the strawberry industry in
Obion County in this immediate
section. Mr.. Lucien Davidson, of
Dyer, was here and met with the
association. He made a PROPOSE
ton to advance as bonus five dol
lars tor every acre OF stra wberries
put in by the association, the grow
ers to do the work and Mr.. David
son to furnish the plants, Mr.. Dav-
1dson and the association to share
equally in the cost of Grating and
in the returns from the sales. All
these provisions were made if the
farmers here would agree to sub
scribe and devote SO acres or more
to the cultivation of straw berries.
A comparatively small number of
the association members were pres
ent and hence no agreement was
reached, but the proposition is left
open for the benefit of others who
were not present to take up the
business.
Mr.. Davidson resides in one of the
richest strawberry sections of Ten
nessee. He has been engaged in
the business for years and under
stands it thoroughly. He is also
an excellent citizen and is abun-
dainty able to take care of his con.
tracts, and if the industry can be
started he will become one of our
citizens and personally engage in
the work We trust that arrange
ments of this kind will be made
soon.

Moved Yards.

The West Tennessee Monument
Co, Geo. L. Willis, manager, is now
located on Second street at the old
stand between Church and Main,
property recently acquired by the
company. During the winter months
Mr.. Willis made very large and ex-
pensive stock of sample monuments
and stones, which have been moved
to the new yards and can be seen
there on display. The designs and
the workmanship are very fine.
Some of the various marble prod
ucts are to be seen. One of the
finer qualities is the Tennessee
marble, rich brown in it's shading
and susceptible to the highest and
smoothest polish. 1t ranks better
than the Georgia marble, not yet
very expensive, and altogether as
attractive as some OF the finer speci-
mems. The entire flight of stair
way in the United States Capitol
on one side of the building
leading to the Senate Chamber is
made OF Tennessee marble, sam
pie of which is shown in Mr.. Willis
yard.
A very fattering compliment to
the skill and ability of the West
Tennessee Monument Co. is the fact
that they have been awarded the
c ontract for the carving and deco
rative stone work of the new Car
negie library building to be erected
