showing steadily five hours, following a heavy
frost yesterday morning. live near the
Chickamauga battlefield now a national park.
My father was here in gray while the battle
ragged. and I watch with interest the many old
men who daily visit the park and wonder Il
they. too, were here.
/ like 20 read Mrs. Feltons page. I wish
she could just live and on to remind US Of
the past. for we are living in such fast age
that there are but few who seem 10 ever think
Of the past.

the bright side OF life. ! think II Mr.. Bach

annoyed so much By the children. He might
amuse the children and let the mother rest
awhile n he has nothing else to do.
I wish Rural School Teacher would teach

Our Household from RQGth Georgia, as am
the third TO report from TINS seeton to
NV way of thinking, there never was better
place made for the habitation OF man than
south Georgia. While the lands may not be
as fertile as some, have good clay foun,
dalton which is susceptible to fertilization. and
high state OF cultivation brings good results.
The climate is fine. We read OF destructive
cyclones wind and snow storms, but we seem
10 be favored. as we have no real disasters.
Today while I read OF everything killed by
snow. our garden is uninjured. Corn in low
places Is nipped, but not killed. From our gar
den we he'd for dinner today peas and straw
berries Fruit seems all right.
There is a northern man In our midst who has
beep coming here for several winters, when all
vegetation was dead. After seeing It this sea
son he says it's the prettiest country he has
ever seen. which /, think is saying a good
deal as he has Travelled extensively.
Our Household is improving all the time. Be-
fore closing / would like to ask Mrs. Pansy
10 write us often and tell us Of the country,
tbe peoule their customs etc, among whom
she may stop. Her letters have always been
interesting, but are since she changed
her mind
Like Mrs Jack, I follow Professor Parks

A covering for the head was custom
established from very early times, but
the hat, as we understand il today. was
invented by a Swiss manufacturer OF
Paris. and the first were worn in that
city on May "a, 1404 The inhabitants
of the northern chimes many centuries
ago began wearing a head covering, In
those days usually in the form of a
hood made of fur. 1t was not until
the Phryg1ans had conquered Asia
Minor that the people of warmer lati-
Minor wore any head covering The
Phrygians were the first to adopt the
fashion. and they did 1t in order to dis
tinguish themselves from the conquered
race with whom they lived. Their head
dress was a small. closely fitted cap,
which was also soon adopted by the
Roman free citizen.
Hats were first manufactured in Eng
land about 1910, and superseded caps,
or soft headgear. in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth AS the process Of felting is
ascribed by tradition to Saint Clement.
he was early assumed as the patron
saint of the craft, and the annual fes-
tival or the trade was appointed for the
23d Of November. Wool was the ma
terial first employed in forming felt
hats, but in time, as European trade
with America developed, the fur OF the
beaver, being finer and softer, came in
to use; hence, the term beaver was long
synonymous with hat.
The growing scarcity of beaver fur
led to attempts to substitute a cloth
formed of silk plush, drawn over a
pasteboard frame, about 1910. These
were not very successful, and hats of
wool or beaver-felt were common until

about 1910. The high cost of beaver at
length brought out the Improvement OF
silk hats to such an extent that the
beaver was entirely superseded, and the
fabrication of silk hats brought to great
perfection. ~
With the cource of fashion hats have
undergone a great variety of changes Oh
shape. The Puritan adopted the stee-
pie hat, the Cavalier a lower and broad
er crown; the Quaker hat low in the
crown with a broad brim dates from
the origin of the sect at the middle of
the seventeenth century.
The Hungarian patriot Kossuth intro
duced into the United States the soft
felt hat. Straw hats began to be worn
in America about 1900, the first impor-
tations being of tho palmleaf variety.
The history of hat making in the Uni
ted States dates backe to very early
Colonial days. In 1862 the assembly OF
pounds of tobacco for every good wool
or fur hat made in the colony. Della
ware in 1853, offered a prize of forty
shillings for the neatest and best hat
manufactured in the lower counties.
Soon after the close of the Revolution
the manufacture of hats had become Of
great Importance in Pennsylvania, and
from that time the industry has con-
tinued to flourish.
The silk hat, now universally known
as an article of dress, is Of COMPARE
lively. modern use. 1t was known in
Florence over a century ago, but its
manufacture was not introduced into
France till about 1925, and it's develop
ment has taken place entirely since
that time.

Steiner to Face

among the lot who broke away from

ago, and who was recaptured, served

in getting enough money together to
pay out the remainder of his fine.
Just as soon as he was released he
was rearrested Immediately on a war
rant charging him with Illegally
breaking jail, and was brought to
the city last evening at $50 O'Clock
by Deputy Sheriff Allen Brewton.
Steiner was greatly humiliated, be-
ing closely guarded and handcuffed
when he reached the city. He was
walked to the county Jail at his own
request. To keep him from communi-

wholesale escape of convicts, he was
housed at the city Jail last night. He
claims to be landscape gardener

ECZEMA TWENTY YEARS
CURED BY AN OIL

No matter if you have suffered for
20 days or 20 years, we as druggists,
know that your itch can be cured in
one day, and that sooner or later
perhaps very soon-your skin will be
as clean and pure as ever.
Wash your skin with simple COM
pound, the mild, soothing oil of win
tergreen, thymol, glycerine compound
known as D. D. D. Prescription.
The first day, the first night Of
restful sleep will prove to you that
we make no foolish exaggerated
claims. Eczema sufferers must re-
cognize that we certainly would not
make such claims, if within a few
minutes after trying the remedy you
could prove us wrong; we KNOW the
itch is allayed at once.
While we have always sold D. d.
d. Prescription at S1.00 a bottle, We
do feel that everybody ought to be
convinced at once. So we have ar
ranged with the D. D. D. Laboratories
of Chicago for a special offer-for
the present-a trial size bottle at
only 25 cents (for those who have
never tried the remedy. The Cry,,
