Supper Parties,

The informal old-fashioned supper
party, at which all the viands are
placed on the table, is being revived,
especially for Sunday evening. No
servant need be in attendance, perfect
freedom reigns, each guest feels at
liberty to contribute his services,
toasting bread, making some delicate
concoction in the chatting dish, mixing
salad, or brewing the coffee or tea.
These spreads may be before or after
evening service, or after the theater.
A mother can do more by having such
affairs for her young people at home
than by any amount of preaching or

TO ROSEMARY.


When the blest Mother Mary,
In Nazareth far away
Worked for the little Christ child,
BY the brook, at dawn of day,
She took. his tiny garments
And spread them in the sun
Upon the plants of rosemary,
And dried them one by one.
The dainty leaves were mindful,
OF the linen sheer and white
And held 1T to the breezes,
And spread 1t to the light;
And lo-a subtle fragrance
Was left upon the plant
And to this day the rosemary
With spice is emanant.
F1-
Dear Maid-Your mother Mary
Gives you this name so sweet,
For in you the fragrant rosemary,
And the sunny child soul meet.

HOLIDAY SHOPS
Where You Never Think of Going
By Mary Warren

Where the jewellers and the fancy
goods shops are crowded to suffocation
and you have reached that stage in YOU
Christmas shopping when you dom
know what you want and don't like any
thing you see, turn straight about and
go to tirst-class hardware store. Last
holiday season | checked almost every
man off my Christmas list in such a
shop, and also found several gifts for
women = nutcrackers, trays, white
handled steel dinner-knives, scissors,
etc. If hardware store scissors do not
have silver handles, they DO have sharp
blades.
The hardware store can furnish desk
shears and desk sets more desirable and
less expensive than most iewelry shops
offer. There is cutlery of all kinds, of
course, and of quality not always
found in department stores. There are
skates and scales, carving sets for the
head of the house, fishing tackle, field
glasses and opera-glasses and photo
graphic supplies.
In brass and nickel there are chatting
dishes, tea-kettles and coffee-machines,
alcohol lamps, casseroles, large and
small, baking dishes that are for serv-
ice, not for show, cooking bowls in nests
of assorted everything that a
would enjoy.
For gifts for women big china store
is always my first point of attack, re-
of course, that these are
gifts which must be given by hand,
since express charges would bring up
the total expense alarmingly. Any
purse can be fitted, the range is from
the twenty-five-cent syrup cup to the
set of Haviland china with its edges of
creamy gold. Shopping is easy here.
Before us is table full of different pat
5erns of ramekins; nothing but rame-
1ins on the table. Next is the showing
Of marmalade pots, every pattern and
price. Then come fruit plates, hot
,ake dishes and chop plates. There
ire pitchers to make ones mouth wa
er; and what woman ever had enough
pitchers?
For women who do not keep house
here are beguiling bedroom sets-a
.hina tray, pitcher and candlestick and
/ cut-glass tumbler. A breakfast set
With its big tray and every conceivable
Iish in beautiful china is expensive, but
What pleasing gift from a whole fam
ly to a Observation-Disclosures
Hardware Company can suit you in any
# these things.

which he inflicted upon the boy was not
severe, but only such as was necessary

Bloodhounds.

Williams & Brasfield, of Woodland
Mills, who have couple of fine blood
hounds recently purchased of Geo. w.
Simpson, of Dyersburg, have been train
ing the young animals regularly, and
last week gave them test in real
race. The dogs were put upon the
trail and chased a colored man five
miles, overtaking him without leaving
the track. The species is of the best
bloodhound variety, and no doubt these
animals will be brought into requisition
when the necessity demands it, They
are a valuable adjunct to any COM
munity.

PREFERS DEATH TO ARREST.
Everett Hynds Shoots Himself When
About to be Arrested.

Dresden, Tenn, Nov. 29.-On las
Thursday Mr., Everett Hynds, a young
farmer residing in the northern portion
of the county, was united in marriage
to Miss Elsie Killgore, daughter of the
Democratic nominee in this county fol
Trustee. Saturday the bride and groom
drove to the home of Mr.. Edward Alex
ander, relative of the bride, residing
four miles southwest of Dresden, and
whose father was buried two days be-
fore, to spend the night.
Saturday night Sheriff Brasfeld re-
ceived message from the Kentucky
authorities to arrest and hold Hynds, he
being wanted in that State on a charge
Fof bigamy. Hynds was married to a
Kentucky girl some time ago, leaving
her, and it is alleged had never procured
divorce when he married Miss Killgore.
Sheriff Brasfeldnd Deputy Dunn pro-
ceeded to the Alexander home with a
warrant for Hynds arrest, arriving there
at IL O'Clock, after all had retired. He
called to Hynds, who, it appears, rec
ognized the Sheriff S voice. He arose,
procured his revolver and shot himself,
the ball going entirely through the body,
Hynds dying almost instantly. The
Coroner held an inquest and pronounced
death due to self-infiicted wounds, but
ltould not determine whether the same
vas accidental or suicide, and there re-
mains doubt in the minds of many as
to whether he killed himself Intentional
ly or through an accident Many hold
to the theory that he did it on purpose,
knowing the charge he would be forced
to face in Kentucky, and that it means
y long term in the penitentiary and his
final separation with his new bride.
The bride is overwhelmed with grief.
For several years she has been recog-
nized as one of the county's brightest
and foremost young school teachers.
She is quite popular wherever known
and comes from one of the county's best
families.
The body of Hynds was buried Sun
day near his old home in the Twentieth
District.

WHERE THEY STOOD.
An Extract From the Annual Ad-
dress.

The following article was handed in
by the superintendent OF press work ot
the w. G. t. u, Of this city, with re-
quest for publication:
4 No one will deny that Carmack Is
tragic martyr-death crystalized the Pro-
hibition sentiment of Tennessee-sen
ment which had been strengthening
year by year sentiment which had
been enhanced by the well-known atti-
tude and the heroic work of the Ten
nessee Woman's Christian Temperance
/ Union, led by that Southern General,
Mrs. Silena M. Holman, president.
/ When others talked of high license,
segregation, the dispensary, and local
option, the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union and Mrs. Holman talked
only of Statewide Prohibition, and saw
in Statewide Prohibition alone the re-
lief and the protection needed for the
! homes of Tennessee; not only for the
homes in rural districts and the smaller
cities, but for all cities in the entire
| State domain. There are, no doubt,
those present this morning, aside from
lowed day by day the reports of the
proceedings of the Tennessee Legisla-
ture, noted that the halls of the his
toric old State building resounded day
after day with the echo of the passing
feet of the 'State-widers, and that the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
came and went with the systematic throb
of a pedulum.
1 need not speak in detail of the tre-
mendous battle, of the unwarranted po-
sition of Tennessee's Governor upon
this great, burning question, other than
to say that the voice of the people of
Tennessee rather than the veto voice of
the Governor prevailed, and in the
words of the great headlines in the
Nashville Tennessean of July 1, 1909:
Licensed saloons in Tennessee forever
closed at the stroke of twelve. During
the conflict, and after the breweries,
distilleries and saloons were closed,
there was the usual alarm-cry that Pro-
hibition would ruin the business inter
ests of the State. The liquor men af-
frmed that it would cause falling off
OF more than a million dollars in reve-
nue. of the State; that the ten million
dollars invested in breweries, distiller-
les and wholesale and retail liquor
stores would be lost because no indem-
nity was provided in the law, and that
Nashville alone would lose about quar-
.er of million annually from the Ii
;ense fees; but the wisest men of to-day
know how to reckon the profit and loss
with the liquor business, and
lave more abundant opportunities than
,ver before to study Prohibition mathe-
natics. These wise men have proved
hat no real profit and vast amount of
eal loss result from the traffic in strong
rink, and they are fast winning others
o walk in wisdom 'stways. Mrs. Lii
ian M. n. Stevens.

Boy Commits Suicide.

Trenton, Tenn, Nov. 27.-News
reached here this afternoon of the sui
eide by hanging of John Turner, the
14-year-old son of Thomas Turner, liy-
ing in the Sixth District of Gibson
County, about seven miles out from
Trenton on the Trenton and Eaton road,
near the little country store called Lex.
Just after dinner the boy, John, and a
younger sister were playing together
when he became angry and began to
fight the girl. His father reproved him
and gave him whipping. After stand
ing around few minutes he went out
of doors and was thought to be in front
of the house with the other children.
The father, upon going to the barn soon
afterward, discovered him, the son, sus-
pended from the rafter overhead by a
plow line. Everything went to show
that he had been very deliberate in his
plans, which worked so successfully.
His neck was broken, but the body was
not yet cold when found. Thomas
Turner, who is the father of the boy, is
highly respectable citizen of the COM
munity in which he lives, having for

to General Diaz, were shipped from

City.
One of the leading features of the
visit of General Diaz to the border.
besides the significance of the ex-
change of visits with President Taft,
was the laying of the cornerstone by
the president for the monument
which a grateful nation is erecting
in the border city to Juarez, the
patriot. The monument costing
$117, 900, is well under way,its
erection having been brought about
by popular subscriptions, headed by
$4,000 by President Diaz. APP
propriately, it is being erected in the
city where the president rallied his
shattered army and started back on
his triumph march to the capital
after being driven once to the border
and almost forced to flee to the Uni
ted States as an asylum of life. The
monument takes the form of a
marble shaft ~surmounted by a
of the great soldier looking
he did when he was in practical
exile in the border city.

BATTLE WITH
HIGH GRADERS

MANHATTAN, Nev. Oct. 16.-The
gang of high graders, which today
succeeded in getting away with a
haul of rich ore at the Stray Dog
mine near here after wounding Dep
uty Sheriff Martinson, was discover
ed at work 800 feet below the sur
face by the sheriff's posse. The high
graders passed to the Stray Dog
through the Plamanez and thence
through the Union Nine mine. The
lease from which the ore was taken
has been closed.
A Waterman say the light in the
shaft and notified the officers, who
waited at the mouth of the shaft
for the members of theegang toscome
out. A demand of deputy Sheriff
Martinson for their surrender was
answered by a fusillade, and the Of
ficer fell with a wound in his scalp.
The officers returned the fire and the
robbers dashed for the nearby tim
Der, dropping one sack of high grade
ore in their fight. Fifty shots were
exchanged in the battle and it is be-
lieved that one of the robbers was
hit. Dense darkness prevailed and
no description Of the number or APP

WORK OF DISTRICT.
Copper Flat steam shoyels are
readily continuing output at rate of
about 100000 tons of ore. At Nc
Gill the concentration is keeping even
with shipments and continuing good
results obtained in the past in saw
ings. The fourth reverberatory has
been blown in and will enable closing
down of one for needed repairs, with
out curtailment of output of last
month.
GIROUX PROGRESS.
Upraising from the 1000 in the
new Giroux shaft is within 45O feet
OF the surface, where concrete foun-
dations for the big hoist are going in
and some machinery has been placed.
The frame for the collar of the shaft
has been completed and six sets of tim
bers lowered. Concrete will be put
about these. Upraising has been
at rate of $50 feet month in lime
stone, a record for a five compart-
ment shaft. With sinking under way,
this will be bettered. Rapidly of the
work is in large part due to in
genious aids provided, which count
also in economy and excellence of the
work. Grading is going ahead rapid
