Miss Bunch. Honoree.

One of the most piquant among the
social organizations of Maury county
is the Chestnut Burr Club, composed
of several young ladies of the Zion
neighborhood Being in the nature OF
a Lean Year affair, the meetings are
not of very frequent occurrence, the
inyariable rule of assembling every
four years being only broken by the
allowed call meetings" which are 10

nut Burr" and the disclosing OF the
abandonment of single blessedness by
one of its fair members. One of these
happy occasions was the can
meeting held recently at the nos
nitable home of Mrs. Emily Dixon at
Ashwood, when the whisperlngs OF
Dame Rumor were confirmed and the
fact of the approaching nuptials OF
Miss Lucretia Bunch was disclosed,
the announcement being very uniquely
and mysteriously made. The assem-
hled members being first asked to vote
as to whom they thought the pros
pectiye bride was, a tie ensued pc
tween Miss Bunch and the fair daugh-
fer of the house The party were
then requested to form marching
circle around the room and the bride
to-be to drop out The lights were
turned down and to the strains OF the
wedding march the party obeyed to
find in a few moments that Miss
Bunch had disappeared, only to be led
in Immediately and showered with
questions and congratulations.
Saturday afternoon the members OF
the club gave a charming entertain
ment in the nature of a Gift Shower
to compliment Miss Bunch also at the
home of Mrs. Dixon, invitations being
accepted by hundred or more guests.
The house was brightly lighted and
decorated most artistically with ferns,
house plants and quantities of golden
ionouils. The club members assisted
by Mrs. Dixon and the honoree, the
latter In a most becoming dlrectolre
gown Of old rose silk, received the
guests in the drawing room. The

Portable upon the head this support,

up into the crown. otherwise the
structure would drop over the eyes
and the nose: in fact, the entire face
would be covered. But these wires
allowed to remain at the front and on
the sides, held the millinery in place.
The supports were cut away in the
back and an outstanding broad hoop Of
wire was substituted. The mass OF
puffs, curls. etc, passed through this
hoop and concealed themselves in the
big crown.

For Wounds on Trees.

The California Cultivator says the
following mixture was used on trees
three years ago and lis still in good
condition.: One part crude petroleum
to three parts of resin; warm in sep.
arate dishes, mix and apply warm to
cuts made by pruning or by cultivator
injury. While this mixture is not bet
ter than grating wax, il is much
cheaper and is worthy of trial.
II owners Of trees would realize
the Importance Of keeping the bark
whole and unbroken on their trees
and treat all wounds promptly, they
would save much loss from so-called
wound fungi" which are ever abun-
da and ready to take possession and
cause decay. Wounds that should be
treated are of various origin, and
those to the body Of the tree are most
important, though injuries to large
limbs very often spread downward.
A large limb cut off, with the stub
left unprotected, supplies good place
for these fungi to enter, and the end
OF life of the tree is hastened BY the
hollow body resulting from decaying
branches. Branches are injured at
picking time by boot heels and lad
ders, wind breaks branches; hail
storms and sunscaled rupture the
bark, and the bodies arc often bruised
by wagons or other farm tools.

USEFUL WHITE TAILOR MADES

Long at the Seashore.

If you are to be at the seashore for
any length Of time you should have at
least one of your summer suits in
white serge, broadcloth or mohair. no
matter how unlimited your laundry
allowance may be. A sea breeze has
unpleasant and almost human pro
pensity for springing up just after
you've had your hair marcelled and
put on freshly starched froch.
If one is to spend the summer in
the mountains or the northern coast,
where one needs warmth as well as
salt-defying qualities in a serge dress,
it is just as we'll to have some sort
of waist en- suite that leaves the
neck and arms cool, but gives one a
little extra warmth through the body

new COTTON PICKER.
LONG BEEN AN URGENT NEED OF
THE SOUTH.
Many Machines Have Been Invented,
But None Proved Successful; One
Recently Patented Promises to Fill
the Bill in Satisfactory Manner.

A practical cotton picker has long
been one of the most urgent needs of
he south. and many devices have been
invented to satisfy the demand. None
las In the past proved successful; but
. recently patented apparatus de-
scribed in the Inventive Age is said
by those who have seen it to be so en-
.irely satisfactory in its operation that
4 fortune may be predicted for the
lucky inventor The machine consists
of frame on four wheels, with two
chain elevators mounted on the frame
at an angle of 40 degrees. The ap-
paratus is drawn by horses, and the
forward movement is compensated for
by the backward movement of the
elevator chair, and these two partly
reverse movements create the third
or perpendicular movement for the
pickers. These stroke the cotton
plant directly upward. The chain ele-
vators are made up of series of
tubes, In each OF which a picker is
concealed. These pickers are shaped
like bayonet, with horsehair teeth
on their edges. AS the apparatus
moves forward, the chain passes
around the sprocket wheels, and at
the bottom of the elevator a cam,
placed across the chain, catches the
pickers and pushes them out of the
tubes into the lower part of the cot
ton plant Each picker isfprovided at
its base with small gear wheel which
engages toothed rack and revolves
as the picker comes out of the tube. At
the top of the elevator second
cam catches the pickers and forces
them back into the tubes again, this
movement also stripping them of the
cotton and dropping 1t into con-
veyor. The picking spindles, with their
horse-hair teeth, seem to search out
the ripe bolls and take the lint from
them, leaving the unripe and infiicting
no injury on the fiber or plant, In
operation, the machine straddles cot
ton row and the pickers revolve rap
idly through the plant from the bot
tom upward. The moment they touch
ripe boil they pull the cotton out
The ease and thoroughness with
which the machine operates have very
strongly impressed and interested
parties who have had the opportunity
of seeing it in action, and it is fair to
assume that it win shortly be enjoy
ing an extended field Of application, the
expense of installation being very
soon overcome by the increased speed
attained.

Use Of RIce Powder.

It is sometimes necessary to powder
the face, but powder should be applied
lightly and artistically in order to i'm
part to the skin the velvety softness
OF the peach.
A face powdered like clowns Is
ridiculous. and as unbecoming as it is
vulgar. Powder on the face should be
imperceptible, and If used with dis
erection is not to be condemned.
Take up but small quantity of
powder on the pun and pass 1t lightly
over the face Care should be taken
not to powder the eyebrows, ard the
lips must be carefully wiped to remove
any powder which may nave fallen.
The whole face, except the eyes. the
eyebrows and lips, should receive a

Not until after the war was the
peanut recognized as commercial
commodity. In seeking for some new
crop through which the condition OF
farming in the south was to be bene
fited the farmers hit upon the pea
nut and they have cultivated it with
increasing success during the past
forty years.
The crop in 1908. it is said, brought
to the southern farmer $4,000, 900.
That $12,00O.000 was worth picking
up. In certain sense it is side
issue. a by-product; but it is bust.
ness that is still in its infancy. The
world is constantly demanding larger
nut crops. The food value of the nut
is getting a wider recognition every
year.
What the south needs is 10 give
more attention to the peanut and to
crops like the peanut. 1t NEEDS to
give more attention. moreover, to the
pecan tree. You can get crop OF
peanuts every year. 1t takes about
ten years to get merchantable crop
from the pecan tree. The difference
is that once the trees begin to yield
the value of that crop increases year
by year largely from its own inher
ent labor; whereas the peanut crop
has to be planted every year. The
agricultural department has issued
pamphlet on the peanut and 1t sug
gests that in the boil weevil district
peanuts will make more profitable
crop than cotton.

NEED OF MORE COTTON MILLS.
Several Are Being Constructed In the
South and More Are Promised
for Texas.

!. A few years ago ID. "A. Tompkins.
author Of Cotton Min Processes and
Calculations, made a collection OF
cloth samples and arranged them to
show the value Of cotton when con-
verted into cloth. He used the figures
half million bales, good North
Carolina crop, and reckoning 1t as raw
material at the normal average Of elk
cents per pound or $50 a bale, shows
it would be worth $4,000, 900. He
then says: Half a million bales OF
cotton in the shape of ten-ounce duck
would bring S5.00e,0OO. or nearly
21a times in value in the raw state.
The crop of the country-say II, 1,000,-
900 bales-if manufactured into this
goods and sold at this price, would
show a gain over the raw price OF
over $400. 100000, or over five dollars
per capita for all the people Of the
United States. To manufacture the
entire cotton crop into duck would be
a misfortune somewhat akin to selling
the entire crop in its raw state, but cot
ton may be made into mum erous other
forms, to produce even greater values,
would bring the wealth of the cotton
crop to many millions more. The ar.
gument resolves itself into a question
of proper education and thrift, to turn
a possible cotton crop into thousands
of times the money now realized on II
by the people who produce it,"
His argument is for mcts cotton
mills in the south and there are more
mills being built in southern states
and more are promised for Texas.

Learning About Horses.

An old horseman remarked recent
ly: IF man wants to learn about
horses. he must learn from horses" A
man tc be successful must be with
horses and be close observer OF
their moods, manners and makeup. A
colt should be trained from the first
moment that he is helped to his feet.
If taught to yield early to mans re
straint and guidance he will never
need breaking" To follow his mas.
ter's wishes will be second nature.
Never speed a colt too young. and
when he is given speed, permit It for
short spurts only as he can bear 1t.

to keep his cream sweet. Although It

favor Of plating hog houses so that the

taces the south. This arrangement
saves windows. which is point worth
