date this year, against 13,402 to the same date last year. The percentage of the crop ginned however, is un- doubtedly much larger than it was at this time last year. The smallest to- tai ginning in the county since 1899 was 13,289 bales in 1907. It was thought at the beginning of the pres ent season that the low record of that year would be broken this year, but the figures above would indicate that
 it will not In the II ginning days since the previous report, or from De- tober IS to November 1, 2,9S3 bales were ginned in Faulkner county this year. The next report is of course ex- pected to fall far short of this amount, but guess that the countys total ginning will reach 15,000 bales would probably prove to be not far from right.
 The abrupt decline in the price for the past few days has caused a large falling off in the receipts here, only a few bales being marketed today. The price today is 1874 cents.
 Seed is bringing 800, with very few being marketed.

7,OI2,OOO BALES
 CINNED TO NOV.

Seven million and twelve thousand bales of cotton were ginned up to No vember 1 this season, according to fig ures issued by the United States cen sus department at Washington this morning. This is a heavy decline from the amount ginned to the same date last year, S,200,000 bales, but is above the average of former years, and compares with 6,128,000 to No vember l, 1907; 6,9O6,OOO to Novem- Der 1, 1906, and 6,457 000 to Novem- Der 1, 1905. The New York market opened about 20 points lower, the re- port being regarded by the trade as slightly bearsh.

Deceived BY THE SHADOWS
Discovery That Must Have Come as a
Great Relief to tho Young
Lawyer.

One rainy day recently, young
lawyer, thinking he would like to take
a little flyer in stocks, called at the
office of his broker, who happened to
be his most intimate friend. When
he reached the Office new clerk
whom he had never seen before told
him that the broker was engaged, but
would be at liberty in a few minutes.
While sitting idly in the waiting room
re young lawyer noticed something
that made his eyes almost drop out.
The gloom of the day necessitated the
Use of artificial light in the brokers'
private Office. Silhouetted upon the
grouad glass partition between the
TWO rooms the lawyer saw the shad-
oWs of man and woman. They
we've both seated, the broker at his
desk and the woman beside and fac
ing him. Every moment or so the
lips of the shadows seemed to meet
affectionately Something about the
profile of the woman struck the law
yer as strangely familiar. He rose
instantly and threw open the door.
Sure enough it was his wife, but she
was sitting decorously in a chair two
or three feet from the broker but
almost in line with him, engaged in
n animated discussion.
Poth looked up at the intrusion, but
without the least embarrassment.
why, hello, Toni" exclaimed the
broker. Your wife here thinks she
would like to speculate a little, too,
m I've been using all my eloquence
- diesuade her from it. What's the
matter? Are you ill.,"
No" answered the lawyer, as he
jrcrTed into a chair with an air of
g~ea+ relief. MY eyes have been
bo:hering me good deal to-day. Do
you know a good oculist?"

HOW HE SAVED THE CIRCUS
Wonderful Story Put Up by Owner
Called Forth High Compliment
from Editor.

Willis Cobb the circus man told this;
story:
Years ago he was travelling through
the south with a wagon tent show
and the press agent among other glow
ing accounts of whats coming an
nounced herd of 20 camels from the
sandy desert of Arabia
When the show reached town. in
stead of 20, there was but one sickly
camel Some of the country newspa-
pers paid no attention to this slight
discrepancy, but when Cobb entered
the office of a Georgia country editor
he was mad enough to fight
Il saw your parade, sah,' said he,
"and you lied to our people. I've
good mind to roast you. Where are
your 20 camels you made my paper
say you've got in your show?"
"Tll tell you how it was" explained
Cobb. when we passed the swamp.
on the way here it was full of alliga-
tors, and without the slightest warn
ing they leaped upon the bank and
devoured all but one Of the camels
We put up brave fight, but it was
no USE"
The editor gazed at Willis a couple
of minutes and then said: you're
a good one. You ought to be a Geor-
gia editor. Come out to my house to
dinner to-day. I want to introduce
my wife to the biggest liar on earth.
She'll be glad to meet you

SAME COLOR AS THE SKIRT
This Is the Latest Edict of Fashion
in the Matter of the Separate
Waist.

Since a One-toned costume adds an
appearance of height, Dame Fashion
now DEGREES that the separate waist
shall be of the same color as the skirt
whether it be of net, chiffon, silk or
any other material, and that it's trim
ming be an exact match. Nets Of all
kinds are among the novelties Of the
season. and net bands handsomely en-
brOidered in a floss or straw when on
a waist of the same color, look as
though the pattern were done on the
waist itself Another device is flow
ers embroidered in dull colOrs here
and there on ecru lace. Old rose,
delft blue and green are seen on the
same design Narrow stripes are the
newest style for tailored waists, with
net stocks strapped over the whale
bone with bands of the striped mate
rial and bow to match at the throat.
Small neckties are also seen. The
tie worn on waists which go under
a jumper is a long, narrow cravat
caught at the neck with an ornament,
the united ends being finished with
pendants

COLORS THAT SUIT CHILDREN
Most Effective Combinations Can Be
Made by Use of Simple Black
and White.

Perhaps the most effective colors-
if colors we may call them-for the
small child are black and white. It is
a nice relief when you have tired of
the all-white proposition to get a shep-
herds plaid coat to be worn with the
sheer white frock and black shoes and
stockings. The large panama hat in
keeping with this effective outfit
should be draped with a loosely tied
scarf of black satin dotted with white
spots an inch and a half in diameter.
Paris is recommending the scarf as
a hat trimming, and it is sent over
here in black, blue and scarlet with
white disks sprinlkled over it's satin
surface.
The plan Of providing two different
trimmings for the same hat may be
admirably accomplished by the use of
two colored scarfs, and they will be
no stumbling block to the amateur,
as the scarf means simply the tying
of a bow

-.UILT TO DEFY EARTHQUAKES
Tree Homes of Mexico Made of
TWigs and Grass interviewer
With Branches.

In order to protect their homes
rom earthquakes many of the natives
the territory around Chilpancingo
ard other towns in the State of Guer
zero, Mexico, live in trees. Some of
hose tree homes are of large size
and are ingeniously constructed.
Reeds and grasses are interviewer
with the twigs and branches of the
tree. much in the manner that a bird
builds its nest.
The severest wind seldom looses
these houses from the tree. Where
the trees are large and stand closely
together houses of two and three
rooms are frequently built in their
branches. These houses also afford
protection from the tigers" and 9th
er wild animals which are found in
lat region in large numbers. It is
claimed that tiger will not attack
its prey unless it is upon the ground
The prime object of elevating these
houses into the trees, however, is to
keep them from being shaken down
by the severe earthquakes which visit
the Guerrero territory at frequent in
tervals
The rocking of the earth gives the
trees a sWaying motion that does no
damage to the houses. In some local
tiles whole villages of these tree
homes are to be seen. None of them
suffered damage from the recent
earthquakes which wrought such ruin
to the buildings on the ground.

POINTS OF THE FALL BLOUSE
Some Things That the Amateur Maker
Must Be Careful Not
to Forget.

Several little new points have
bobbed up for the amateur maker of
the new fall blouse. She will recog-
nize in them, first, the renewed sane
ton of the shirt waist. So long as
the coat suit exists and is renewed
and improved upon Gas in the coming
fall models, the blouse will spring
forth with some fresh touch.
A tendency exists in favor of long
shoulder line, whether it be got by
the actual cut or the trimming.
The banded bishop sleeve will prob
ably be a favorite in the lingerie
blouse.
The sheer frill in front of the heav-
Ter blouse will most frequently be
used down the left side or crossing
from the left shoulder to the waist
line.
Yokes of lightweight linen are to
be introduced in some of the heavier
linen blouses and the collar in all
garments of the better quality is to
be made to match it. This last is, no
doubt, a natural turning away from
the lOW-priced separate collar.

HAVE THE COAT iNTERLINED
Tailoring Tip That May Be of Service
to Those Ordering Winter
Wraps.

Many persons ordering an autumn
suit and intending it to do duty
throughout the winter prefer a medi-
um-weight material, sufficiently inter-
lined, to that heavier quality which
looks too rough and ready for the
early fall days.
Women will endure the excess of
warmth long before winter makes it
necessary, but they will not put up
with coat too wintery in appearance.
Just by way of suggestion, it ought to
be generally known that white, woody
felt, which is so generally used for
fnterlining, has, in it's loosely woven
fabric, great numbers of long white
hairs which gradually work their way
through the cloth to the surface The
constant picking out of these hairs
can be obviated by the use of dark
felt hterlinings, and, although all
tailors object most seriously to unpro-
fessional interference, it is we'll to
know an occasional thing and to in
sist.

She Was Not Engaged.

A book agent raped at the door of
a cottage occupied by an Irish widow,
and, as she half opened the door, he
inquired:
"Are you the lady of the house?"
"Oi am, sor," she replied
IF you are not engaged I would
like to see you a few minutes" re-
snarked the agent as he started to
worm his way through the opening.
"Indade, Dim not engaged, an it's

by thin women. Truth to tell, the
thin woman has it still all her own
way, for it is no use to pretend that
the statue-like draperies of fine dress
and the chopped-up effects of medium
dress are for any but sylph-like fig
ures.
The bishop sleeve in all it's ramifi-
cations is here shown, any one of the
models or all Of them being especially
suited to house dresses Of every de-
scriptiOn In the group are dis
played very graceful effects for tea
gowns, flannel shirt waists and little
dressy odd bodices in soft mulls or
silks or lace. The sleeve with the
cap and cuff could also be used for
the most stylish cloth gown, and the
combination gives ideas for the using
up of materials on hand which may
be in good condition.
The group of sleeves displays the
various methods of treating the bot
tom of the long shoulder cap and such
wrist finishes as would go with the
soft puff that hangs below it. Half
a glance would tell anybody fairly
gifted with the needle that sleeves in
this style present unnumbered posi-
bilitieS for making old sleeves into

or cream, would do for the puff.

Wonderful Clocks.

Five wheels and small battery
virtually constitute the mechanism of a
wonderful clock just invented in Eng
land. 1t will run three years without
attention, and at the end of that time
all that is required is to attach new
battery.
Another new English clock enables
the possessor to ascertain at a glance
the mean time, the meridian and rela-
tive position of every part of the en-
pire, besides being able to witness the
actual speed and direction of the
earth's rotation. The motive power is
a clock in the base of the stand, and
the apparatus requires winding only
once week.

MISPLACED.

A young mother has just been deep
ly shocked as the result of her at
tempted religious instruction to her
f1ve-year-old daughter. The vehicle Sc
lected as her favorite illustration in
these teachings was a picture of the
Madonna and Child in the library
wall. What she actually succeeded in
fixing in the youngsters brain was
that the supreme being whose picture
hung before them was strictly a resi-
dent Of churches and ever to be spok-
en- of with bated breath.
So much accomplished, the child
was taken on a shopping expedition
