MILD STYLES
FOR THE MEN
The Inconspicuous Sex viii no Long
er be In Conspicuous Attire,
Says New York Style Settlers.

Recently The Gate City, gave the
sterner sex of the city an idea of
what the fall styles in mems cloth
ing will be like. This evening. New
York mems outfitter will talk for
the interest of the young man who
is contemplating buying his new fall
and winter glad rags, real soon.
Enter the mildly dressed man.
Once again civilized masculine in
habitants of the cities will go about
the streets with hats that will not
look too small, shoes that will not
look too large and shoulders that will
tell no lie. This fall, at least, the in
conspicuously dressed man will not
appear conspicuous by reason of his
inconspicuousness You have the
word of the tailors and the clothers
for 1t. Hear them:
Every fall tendency in clothes for
men is toward the conservative.
The masculine person who would
exhibit good taste in his clothes will
buy himself a single breasted sack
suit OF brown or gray cheriot for
business purposes. 1t is bit too
early for the goods to be laid out for
those who gaze through windows, but
it may be said authoritatiyely that
the window gazerg have a pleasant
surprise coming. The weavers of
cheviots have turned out some IA
brics extremely easy to look at and
a rough guess by a layTnan who has
seen both is that the browns will
score over the grays.
And no Flaps
Which means the suits will derive
their brightness from materials rath-
er than from the cut. There will be
no flaps over the pockets. The coat
will be of medium length with full
"slkirt" The waistcoat Will have five
or six buttons, but no lapels. 1t will
be less pointed in front than taat Of
last year. The trousers VIII be a
medium peg and, preferably, with
no cuff
For fall wear with that kind of suit
a telescope hat to match the color Of
the suit is to be the thing. AS white,
draws on, however, the discernin:
young man takes to himself a DERBY
If he has the nerve, the derby viii

black will be in perfectly good styl
with any color of suit.

CITY COURT NEXT MONDAY
Adjourned Term Will Convene Two
Days After Proclamation Says
1t Will Be Abolished,

The proclamation issued by Ordi-
nary Chatham following the cleo
ton of October 9TH declares that
the City Court of Dawson will be
abolished by the operation of law
on next Saturday, December 10th,
and Judge Edwards has called an
adjourned term for next Monday
December 18th, two days after the
date proclaimed for the court to be-
come defunct.
Readers of The News are familiar
with the contentious growing out of
the election at which the question of
abOlishing the court was submitted
to the people, and it is not neces-
sary to recount them here.
The converting of the City Court
next Monday will clearly join the
issue, and it is safe to say that the
legality of the court will be attacked
by defendants and the supreme court
called on to settle the question of
whether or not it has been abol-
ished
Judge Edwards, who was appoint
ed by Governor Brown to succeed
himself, and Col. w. H. Gurr, who
was appointed solicitor, have both
taken the oath Of Office before the
Clerk of the Superior Court for a
term of four years each from De-
cember 10th.

DEATH OF A FAITHFUL NEGRO.
Captain McWilliams Pays a Tribute
to "Uncle" AIeCk Brown.

Uncle" Alex Brown, colored, was
born in Harris county March q,
1926, and died in Terrell county,
Georgia, near DOverel, Dec. /, 1910,
aged "a years, months and 10
days, and was buried at DOverel on
Dec. 2. The writer and other white
people would have attended the fun
eral had it not been so intensely
cold for US old people to be exposed
to the weather.
Uncle" Aleck was born the prop
erty of Major Brown, from whom he
took his name, was sold to DR.. Geo.
w. Cobb in 1916, and in January,
1852, removed with him from Har-
ris to Randolph county, near Cuth-
bert, and in December, 1857, came
to the forks of Notchaway creek,
where he lived when emancipated.
Being ever polite he was always
well treated, both in slavery and
since emancipation. He lived with
the writer Is years, and after going
to his own home continued to visit
me almost every week when he was
able to travel. He lived much in
JuC past, anu SPOKE Ol JLG hIuu Il eat
ment given him by both Major
Brown and DR.. Cobb. Everybody
liked Uncle" Aleck, and he could
get a square meal at the country
home of every white person in this
section Of Georgia. But the old
man has gone to reap his reward
He was a good and true friend Of
mine, and l did what l could for
him while he was living, and can
write 'requiescat in pace" over his
grave.
He leaves several children and
grandchildren to mourn his de-
parture, and many white friends
will very greatly miss the faithful
old colored man. Your old friend
bids you farewell.

THIS NEGRO IS A FINANCIER.
Secured Advances on Next Years
Labor From Number of Farmers.

Labor From Number of Farmers.
Developments since Walter Smell
son. son of Ham, was put in jail
on the charge of having stolen a coat
reveal that he has decided talent
as a "financier," and with proper
training would no doubt advance
to a place worthy of those who do
the buncO ga e in the circles of high
finance AS it is SnelsOn must con-
fine his operations to very limited
sphere and base them on nothing
more than his labor as a farm hand,
but even at that he has been re-
markably successful.
Among his exploits he has raked
in Shekels from a half dozen farm
ers from whom he received ad-
vances with the understanding that
he would work with them next year,
and there are doubtless others yet
to be heard from. From them he
secured sums ranging from $50
down to s., and on top of it all
morrgaged his daddy's COW, which
was already bearing the burden of
two such instruments, to a Dawson
firm and secured $12 worth Of
goods.
Snelson's nerve is all right. and
so will his muscle be, no doubt,
when he finishes a task at road
building after the court gets through
with him.

TIE 1,rlr.l1pr1c PUZZLE.

The National Association for the
STUDY of Epilepsy meets in Baltimore
on May Z, at which time many OF the
leading scientists of the country VIII
discuss various phases of epilepsy an"
will outline methods OF treatment
Perhaps no medical body in the coun-
try aims to do more needed work than
this company of physicians. They are
dealing with one OF the most puzzling
of all diseases and they are discuss
ing a malady which is as much a social
problem as 1t is medical mystery
An epileptic is one of the most dis
tressing members OF society. His only
chance of life depends upon proper
treatment. TO contine an epileptic in
q general insane asylum is to foinent
the symptoms of disease and to weak
Ell an already diseased mind, but to
leave the epileptic untreated in the
midst Of society and to allow him 10
marry and to propagate his kind Is
crime against civilization. How to care
.
for him and how to cure him in insu-
.tutions established especially for him
is one of the great questions OF moo
ern medicine. The scientists who
meet in Baltimore are solving TINS
puzzle in manner that promises thn
cure of many epileptics and the assuf-
ance of minimum danger to society
from the addition of epileptic children
ia our population. They deserve the
praise of every man who loves his
fellowmen.
This meeting is particularly inter-
esting in this state. not only because
Virginia is one of the nine states IN
| the Union which have established
| separate institutions for the care of
| cpileptics, but because a Virginia ply
sician. DR.. W. f. Drewry. is president
of the association. DIR. Drewry is in
large measure responsible for the
great advances made in this state IN
the treatment OF insanity. and thc\hon'
or conferred upon him in his election
as president of this association is as
much an honor to Virginia as it is a
reward to broad minded, true
hearted scientist.
