Last Friday afternoon about clock

fifteen years old, was driving along the
public road near Cratic. The wind was
blowing pretty hard, and, just as he

square across the buggy seat, tearing
the buggy to pieces and killing the
young man instantly Several parties
saw the accident and he was carried to
the home of his mother, Mrs. Avant
who lived about mile from where the
accident happened. He was buried the
following day at the Farris Cemetery,

the late Dolph Cunningham, and, like
his father, had many friends. Mr..

Fire on First Street.

The bottling works on First street
conducted by the Davidson Produce
Company, were damaged by fire last
Friday evening. The blaze started from
the upper part Of the building while
Mr.. Davidson and tile employees were
at supper, and the cause of the fire,
therefore, is not known. There had
been no fire in the building during the
afternoon. The ERE company started a
stream of water through the front after
some effort. They finally climbed on
top Of the Head building, on the corner,
and soon put the fire out. Mr.. David
son had practically sufficient insurance
to cover his loss, but the amount Of
damage has not yet been ascertained.
In few days after the appraisers have
made an adjustment, the work Of re-
pairing will be done and Mr.. Davidson
will resume business.

Cotton Prospects.

Tiptonville, Tenn, June 27.-The
cotton crop is in avery fine condition in
Lake County. During the past week
there has been rain in every district in
the county, which has very materially
improved the situation. Cotton blooms
we're found as early as the goth, which
is at least ten days earlier than last
year. The size Of the plant is very
irregular, owing to spots Of ground fail
ing to come to stand until rain came.
These places have just been chopped
out the first time, while the main crop
is blooming. The crop is clean and in
good state Of cultivation. The weather
is warm and cloudy, with occasional
showers.

BEFORE
The WEDDING.

THE WEDDING.
Every bride should have the moral
courage to refuse all social engage
ments for one week prior to her we'd
ding. Also she should refuse to shop
or bother with any trousseau plans
these last days.
She should so arrange her fittings
that all her clothes are ready at least
two weeks before the date, and the
last week should be given to quiet and
rest.
Certainly the bride that is not worn
out with bother about clothes and a
round of entertainments has at least
some freshness and romance to carry
to the altar.
The elaboration Of many a wedding,
coming as it does upon the shopping,
the house furnishing, the round of
entertainments, and the packing, has
caused many a girl, tired out physical
ly, nervous collapse that may ar
que ill-health all her married life.
Everything considered, the tired out
lines on the brides face as she leaves
her old home, and the good byes and
confetti, for the first stage of her
life's new journey, does not argue a
happy beginning.

Santa Claus dances, two waltzes and
two two steps. for here is where the
real point of the Santa Claus dance
comes in. The first, middle and last
two might be the Santa Claus
dance.
Either in the middle of the. room
where the dancing is to take place or
else at one end there should be
tree as big and gorgeous with lights
and popcorn and tinsel and artificial
snow as possible. And presiding over
the tree there must be a real Santa
Claus. Some good natured relative
or friend, perhaps the host himeslf
will surely be willing to play this
necessary part.
for each guest, as elaborate or as
simple as the wish and purse of the
hostess make desirable. But what
ever the gifts are they should be
such that the tree looks like a real
chiIdren's Christmas tree For the
feminine guests there may be little
books nothing could be prettier than
q dainty copy Of the Might Before
Christmas" or some other Christmas
Jingle or ballad-tied with red rib
bon; gay paper cornucopias filed with
bonbons, boxes of note paper or little
dolls in the form of pincushions or
tea cozies. or perhaps some of the
charming little French fashion models
or Dresden china figures. For the
men various little gifts-paper knives,
stamp boxes, silver or gun metal pen
ellis, scarfpins, PEN knives-can be tied
in hobby tissue paper bundles and
hung to the tree with bits of red or
holly covered ribbon. To each of the
gifts should be fastened a card bear
ing the name of one Of the guests.
Santa Claus presides over the tree and
gives out the gifts whenever there is
a Santa Claus dance.
Now for these dances. For the first
one have half the men gather about
the Christmas tree and each one
choose any of the women's gifts he
cares for. Santa Claus gives out the
gifts asked for, the man reads the
name attached. presents the gift to
the owner of the name and takes her
for his partner in the dance. The
men without gifts take partners from
the girls without gifts.
In the second Santa Claus dance
half the girls gather about the tree,
choose the gifts they want, get them
from Santa Claus, and take their own
ers as partners. The next Santa Claus
dance brings a gift-and a partner
to the rest of the women and the
last dance finishes the distribution of
the mems gifts. The gifts could, of
course, be disposed Of in two dances
one for the women and one for the
men-but four dances simply make the
fun spread out over the whole even
ing. The cards bearing the names of
the persons for whom the gifts are
intended should. of course. not be visi-
BILE to those choosing the gifts. for
half the interest of these Santa Claus
dances comes from the fact that those
choosing the gifts are also choosing
their partners. Santa Claus might use
the introduction of any guests who
have chosen gifts for partners they
have not met.
