Mr.. Alex T. Barnes is in receipt of a
letter from Mr.. A. S. Blount, dated
Monday, saying that his brother,
Mr.. Gilmore Blount who is sick in the
hospital at Suffolk, Va, is getting
along very we'll and seems to be doing
better than any time since he has
been there. His doctor thinks he will
be able to be out in about ten days
if all goes well. but will not be able
to return to Henderson under three
weeks as he is very weak. Mr.. Blount
was taken to the hospital three or
four weeks ago and his friends will be
pleased to learn that he is on the
road to recovery. He was sick about
two weeks before he left, not confined
to his bed all the time, and as it was
feared that he was threatened with
fever his brother came and took him
| to the hospital.

Use Chloride of Lime.

The free use OF chloride lime in
cellars, yards, back lots, closets,
dark places, and in garbage cans, to
prevent typhoid fever, is urged by
the boards of health in a number of
cities. We all know that ordinary
lime is good to use about the prem
ises, but chloride of lime is much
better. Keep your back lots clean.
Don't allow standing water in old
cans, casks Or barrels, remove rub
bish OF all kinds and see that no de-
caying vegetable matter accumula-
lates to breed disease. Clean up and
use lime plentifully during the hot
summer months.

pion of DanVille

WASHINGTON, June 5.-"Uncle Joe"
Cannon, 73, and erstwhile shiny
champion of Danville, ILL.,, is thinking
of going in for golf. The education of
Vice President Jim Sherman in the
game by President Taft has excited in
Uncle Joe's breast an ambition to take
a try ON the links himself
The speaker has handled golf club
only once in his life. That was during
the Portland exposition, when a covey
of pretty girls got him to take wallop
at little white golf ball. l.. White
Busbey, the speakers secretary, is
authority for the statement that he
hit that ball more than twenty or thir-
ty miles. 1t SKINNED over Mt. Rainier
or some other place much farther than
the nineteenth hole ever looked to a
confirmed golfist.
That record at golf playing, the
speaker opined, would give him place
in history alongside of John ID. Rookie
feller and Andrew Carnegie. He posi-
lively refused to take a second try,
fearing he'd "foozle.'
But the call of the Chevy Chase links
is being heard above the popular roar
for tariff revision, and Speaker Cannon
may go in for the game. He has been

~ BLACKS TONE COM
4 - PANY'S store on South
Broadway. 1 so enjoyed their dis
play of white goods. There you find
materials of every description and
all weights, from the dainty, filmy,
transparent fabric to the whale
back serge. Goods for every con-
ceivable climate. Very fascinating
gowns are made from this endless
variety of choice. If you want the
plain effect, the stripe or the fig
ured you find them all there. Be-
fore deciding on your summer
frocks, allow them to show you
what they have.
If while at the theater your eye
falls upon a stunning white picture
hat you are safe in saying: "That
hat has BEACH'S hallmark" for
everything he builds is superb.
There is an air about the hat that
causes you to cry out: "Oh, there
is no mistake. It's emphatically
BEACH, for it's delightfully."- smart"
Did you ever stop to think how
very distinguished looking gray
hair makes one? M. FREDER-
ICKSON says her parlors are visit
ed every day by people looking for
white switches and puffs She has
made 1t a study to select rich,
beautiful looking white hair, and
she gives you just what you need.
The Paris vogue of two years
since has been revived this season
and the most up to date shops show
more moderate size bags. WEAV-
ER-JACKSON'S stock of white
handbags is most decidedly attrac-
tive So says the woman who
knows. How dainty, sweet and
pretty a woman looks all clad in
white and carrying an exquisite
white handbag, purse or card case!
Long since has the BEEMAN &
HENDEE firm been recognized as
the popular store for beautiful
white garments of all descriptions
for children. They make a speciality
in this line. Also in table covers,
scarfs, etc. Do not think of COM
pleting the children's wardrobe
without seeing their stock.
A June bride who has made lin
gerie a study, and her wants in that
line are many, said she had fully
realized that MYER SIEGEL &
co. carry one of the largest lines
in the city. Matters not what you
want, they have it,. The daintiness
of their white lingerie is perfectly
we'll worth your while.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-06-06

"HE popularity of white goods
for summer is amply dem
onstrated each year by an
eyer-increasing demand for this
class of goods. Fact is, nothing is
cooler, cleaner or more comfortable
for summer wear than the white
wash suit.
One store, the J. r. LANE DRY
GOODS CO., is holding a regular
white goods sale. Undermuslins of
all sorts, white lingerie suits and
waists as we'll as white yard goods,
embroideries and laces, are being
sold at special prices and all white
accessories, such as gloves, hosiery,
parasols, ribbons, etc, are being
featured for the week. Twill pay
to look at these offerings while this
sale is on.
This all-absorbing theme OF hav-
ing a beautiful figure has been
solved by the women of Los An
geles by purchasing their corsets
at the NEWCOMB corset shop.
Their careful selections of imported
white material for their eorsets
speak for themselves. They have
silk, brocaded and broche. Plain
and satin stripe coutil. What a
divine feeling a woman must have
when she has on white silk COR
set over italian silk underwear!
If you want your stationery to
reflect your taste, buy from BROCK
& FEAGANS. When they say a
style is ultra fashionable you never
question. You just say: IT will
take so many quires and want you
to use my die. Will leave all the
rest to you, for am sure to be more
than satisfied" They have an ex-
quisite stock of white stationery.
An old adage that "time tells the
tale" has been recently demonstrate
ed in the HOLLANDER & FUNKE
firm. This shop is comparatively
new, but the constant crowds of
people we see buying footwear in
their shop tell the tale of success.
Their white shoes are attracting
much attention just now. They
carry only late styles and q good
stock.
Women's white gloves in all the
smartest summer styles are shown
in delightful variety at THE NEW
YORK CLOAK g. SUIT HOUSE,

The speaker never had much of de-

couldn't learn how to score, and 'love
