FARMER IS SHOT
 BY TWO NEGROES

Plumerville, March 8. - Evi dently fearing that they were about to be captured, two ne. groes, who are believed to have escaped from a convict camp. shot down and fatally wounded C. M. Beavers, a farmer living five miles northeast of here. about 9 o'clock this morning. The shooting occurred about half a mile from Menefee on public road. People heard the shot and went to Deavers' assistance, but the negroes escaped. A posse in charge of Sheriff T. c. Hervey is searching for them. At a late hour tonight the posse had not located them.
 MT. Beavers was walking from his home to Menefee, where he expected to catch the $40 train to Conway. He was late and trusting that the train was late also, was hurrying toward Men efee when he overlook two ne- groes, one yellow man, weigh ing about 150 pounds, and the other, small and very black. He was running when he overlook the blacks. He asked them if they had seen or heard the train go through. One of the negroes replied that he had not and guessed he (Deavers) would not, either" With that remark, the large negro grabbed Beavers and commanded his companion to shoot him. Roth were armed.
 For some reason, the smaller negro did not move fast enough to suit the other and the latter quickly pulled his gun and shot Beavers. The shot entered the farmers body just above the heart and penetrated his lungs.

Mrs. Stew ens' portrait occupied a promi- nent position, draped with white ribbon and ribbons bearing the names of subscribers sent in by this local Union to the Union Sig nal and Crusader Monthly.
 The general sentiment of those present was that there is no paper like the Union Signal, and no up-to- date White Ribbon CT can afford to do without it.
 The spirit of the program was all that could be expected of such live subject as the prohi- bition press, and one who stands at the head of the organization.
 The result of the meeting and previous effort was P subscrib- CTS to the Union Signal, and 37 to the Crusader Monthly.

House Furnishings.

Lightness of color. with a distinctive
touch of black, should be the effect aimed
for i'm furnishing all houses this spring.
Brown and gray. with hardly more than
thread of black may be called the
newest combination but in many cases
black is eliminated. AS an example of
this fad some curtains being made now
for the living room of a fashionable
country house are soft-gray silk, with
large self-toned pattern. Running through
the groundwork of this. so it shows
dominantly in only one light, is a soft
brown, and three inches from the edge
down the sides and across the bottom
is a band of black velvet ribbon two
inches wide. The draperies have a val
ance, which is treated in the same man
ner.
White dimity draperes. or other thin
materials, frilled and tied back with
black velvet ribbon are charming and
add greatly to the artistic effect of a
room done in yellow or green
Decorators still show a preference for
materials and wall papers that match
But inexperienced housekeepers cannot
be too careful in employing this treat
ment, either for living or bed rooms 1t
is characteristic of all such patterns
that they are bold and striking and only
a place that is large can be so finished
without confusing the eye. \ plain wall
and bold materials better for anv
room less than twenty feet long and
twelve fifteen wide.
Another effect to he avoided when both
paper and hangings are selected is secur-
ing different patterns each of which is
bold Even though the color schemes
may accord. the finish will not be har-
monious. It Is by no means necessary
to have fiat wall. as decorators saw
lin order to use gayly lowered or bird
pattern hangings. but there must be no
question to which one is subordinated
have in mind now a bedroom in a
country house that has walls hung with
gray paper in ribbon effect
The ceilings are low and no border is
used. The hangings are of cretonne CAV
with pink roses in large design
\ good thing for an inexperienced mr.
chaser to remember is that cotton holds
color better than linen. because the nat
ural thread of the former is hollow and
so soaks up the dye while linen. being
solid. does not take in the color, merely
holds il the outside.
At no windows now are curtains So
hung as to cover the name Either
through drapery or valances the window
is left exposed.

CORRECT EANGINGS FOR
SUMMER DINING ROOMS

Three materials suitable for dining room
windows Of summer houses are net mad
raS and Self-coored heavy silks. THESE
are almost necessary to give soft ef1ects
TO dining rooms, because the furniture as
a rule is so stiff. OF course, India silks,
mu1Is and dmities arc too lght-what
decorators call too thin to he mar
monious and brocades, tapestries and vel
vets would be unsuitable for house de-
signed to live in during the warm months.
Elaborate ways of draping curtains for
such a room are not in good taste, for the
reason that all the other lines are severe.
OF course, there is no objection to loop
ing back the side widths, but frills and
double looping, that might be charming in
sitting rooms or bedrooms, are not 10 be
considered in the family dining room.
For all summer houses the best drap-
cries are those which fall toward the win

give free view of the outside world.
Even when hangings are used as blinds to
draw across windows at night. valance
NAV be used, though then separate rod
Is required. The valance is put on the
outer rod and the material goes across
the window. \ heading, or the hem it
self. serves to run the rod through.
Rings are undesrah BILE when the valance
is on rod by itself. for the under cur
tain shows through the nterstices. When
the hangings are not drawn. one rod is
sufficient, and with lightweight materials
the rod in the hem Is prettier than the
rings.
Unless ceilings are high. draperies that
hang just below the sill are long enough.
They are simpler and less formal in ef-
feet, and better suited TO the usual
summer life. High ceilings require draper
les that come To the floor else the pro-
portions of the windows to the height of
the wall are unsymmetriCal 1t is some
thing like a tall girl wearing a short
skirt-awkward and ungraceful-and to
carry out the smile, long draperies with
a low ceiling are like little girl in a
skirt that is far too long.
