Miss Olive Kackley, who with
her Minstrels appeared az the
court house last Saturday night,
is not altogether new to Wa-Kee-
ney people. having appeared
twice before.
Her well trained company Of
fifteen Hill City High school girls
was one of the best ever pre-
sented to a Wa-Keeney audience.
and the appreciation of her unu-
sual talent was shown by the
vast number who attended, it
being the largest house of the
season. Any who secure her
services are to be commended,
and we hope to have the pleasure
of seeing and hearing her in the
near future.

Treasurer.
In connection with this financial
statement the committee wish to an
nounce that plans are under consider
alton for the calling of a public meet
ing to lay the facts of the case fully
before the people. We are informed
by the attorneys who have the case in
charge, Messrs. Ross & Townsend,
that about three hundred ($300.00)
dollars will be needed to carry the two
pending suits through the Supreme
Court and get decision on them. We,
the Negro, are ones who are immedi
ately concerned in this matter and if
we have men who are willing to give
their professional services for a very
scant consideration, we should see
that no lack of means are wanting for
court fees. In fact, we should do more.
The committee are of the opinion that
means will be forthcoming as soon as
the people are made fully acquainted
with cases and their Importance is
made clear. On account of the special
meetings that are now in progress in

Is it strange that Mexico, through its

Pocket Manicure Sets

JUDGING by the number of pocket
manicure sets that now are carried,
one might imagine that finger beau

portance than Is teeth preservation.
Hollow buffers, three inches long, of
celluloid, silver, ivory, pearl, gold or
gun, have spring equipped lids. which
fly open and reveal a case containing
tiny file, cuticle knife and orange stick.
What looks precisely like the barrel
of fountain pen when closed, but
which actually contains all the utensils
and materials necessary for polishing
the nails is made of black celluloid,
plain or silver embossed ebony or
enameled wood. Like the buffer mani
cure case, this pen shaped affair may
readily be accommodated in change
purse, but If hand bag is usually car
ried it is better to have one of the nail
sets, which come in case sized and
shaped like a mans pocket match safe.
These cases, made of materials similar
to those used for buffers and fountain
pen barrels, are compactly filled with
manicure scissors, a flexible nail file.
orange stick. cutiele knife and nail
buffer.
Finger tip shapers. which now Yac-
company every high class set of

whenever the opportunity presents
itself. for by this means. SO it is said
blunt edged digits may be made to
taper. These aids to hand beauty, COM
posed of silver or nickel plated metal
and chamois lined, are finger tip shaped
clasps equipped with springs. so ad-
justed that they may readily be adapted
to the digits of any kind of ordinary
size.
