Memorial Day.

On June 3rd we, Daughters of the
Confederacy, will, to the best of our
ability, carry out Mrs. Graham's plans
for Memorial Day.
We beg that the people of the town
and county will come out, and in their
usual generous way. help US provide the
feast and honor these men, whose deeds
make the most glorious chapter in all
history. The children and all who wish
to accompany them, will march to the
cemetery carrying wreaths and garlands
of flowers to decorate the graves of the
soldiers who have ''passed over the
river"
We hope every veteran in the county
will attend and lay simple flower on
the newmade grave, that lies so near
those of their comrades, as a testimon-
ial of their love for the one who inau-
gurated this day among US, and whose
CHEEKY presence we miss so sorely.
After the march back to town there
will be music and the memorial address
by Mr.. j. D. Johnston, of Roanoke, and
the delivery of the Crosses of Honor by
the little daughter of Mrs. Graham, to
the following veterans:
William Robinett Richard Hankins,
Hawkins Kinder, l. R. H. Stephenson.
Next dinner and last a rest in the
amusement tent, where the manage
ment will give one of their excellent
picture exhibitions.
This is our program in the rough,
next week we will give the details.

Evening Gowns.

Transparent effects will be the fea-
ture Of evening gowns for the spring,
and gold and silver lace will continue
to be prime favorites.
Bands of velvet and of satin will
also be used as trimmings, but they
will be yelled with chiffon on the
smartest gown.
The evening gowns will have the
short kimono sleeve, and an under
sleeve of fine tulle or chiffon.
The draped fichu will also be used,
and the effect to be desired is that
quaint fancitul touch Of the antique.
The fichu will be made of trans
parent material, jraped about the
shoulders to form V, both in front
and back, and will terminate in a big
bow at the waist line. This bow will
be made of the same material. On
some of the gowns a big soft rose, or
big bunch of grapes in the same
color tone are used.
Many Of the waists have {. slight
pouch effect. The empire waist is a
favorite model.
The train of the gown may either
be pointed or square paneled effect
which falls below the shoulder line
and gives the appearance of height to

4 PUZZLE TEA.

HOstesses are ever on the lookout
for something new to amuse their
guests at afternoon parties. Every
one cannot afford an expensive enter
tainment, and the following simple
ideas may be Of service to such as
these:
There is a childish game called
Glands, bodies and legs" in which
heads are drawn on paper which is
folded over The slips are passed
around, bodies and legs being drawn
in their turn and comic pictures re-
suit when the paper is unfOlded.
For your puzzle tea cut figures of
any description from advertisements
in magazines. Cut off the heads,
bodies and legs, keeping these mem
bers separate from one another in
different trays. Each guest is furn-
ished with cardboard box or lid in
which to keep the puzzles and sheet
of fOOlscap paper as we'll. The host
ess than hands around the tray of
heads and each person selects one.
When the heads are distributed it is
explained that every one can 90 and
search the tray that contains the bod
les and try to find the correct one.
"A SOOu UlS DOW1 Ol paste is ready on
the table with several brushes and
the first person who succeeds in Sc
curing a body to fit, rushes to the
paste pot and with dab of the brush
sticks the head and body on to the
foolscap and is then eligible to
search for the legs. When the cor
rect legs have been pasted to the pic
ture, which is then complete a fresh
head may be sought, and so the puz-
zle making goes merrily on until tea
is announced. 1t is we'll to have a
large quantity of cut up figures so
that the guests may not find it too

APPEAL FROM CHINESE WOMEN

A most touching appeal, which
comes from 100 of the unfortunate
girls of PeIin, China has been sent
to the English Anti-Opium Society.
These girls were born in good fami-
lies, but were sold TO the creditors
of their fathers, uncles, brothers or
husbands for the purpose Of obtain
ing money to buy opium, or because
these male relatives had .ost their
property through opium. IN the pc
titiOn these poor creatures say to the
Honorable Society,": eve cry, we
weep, we grieye, we strike our
breasts as we tell you, Honorable
Society, what we suffer to-day and
what has caused us to suffer. We
know that as a rule there is no other
class of people in the world who can
not receive the full protection of
their countrys laws, except our
selves, we are living by this lowest
kind of occupation. We cannot en-
dure to speak directly of our occupa-
ton, but we are sure that your honor
will be able to know who We are, be-
cause there is no other class of man
kind who have such grievances and
cry in the way we cry. The greater
part Of our relatives, yea, almost
Of them, were
driven to abandon us to this dread
full enemy, Opium-they were obliged
to sell Us or pledge us to their credit
Ors for the purpose of obtaining
money to buy opium. Their liberty
has been lost to their enemies, es-
pecially the enemy, OPIUM they
abandon us, they esteem us of less
consequence than their enemy, the
opium. We are poor women, we
hope your honor will pity us and
your government show benevolence.
We, ourselves, have already been cast
into wide, shOreless sea. We have
been abandoned by the whole world,
and there is now no use saving us
out Of our miserable position.
This appeal has to co with the fact
that while the Chinese government
has forbidden the cultivation of
opium, England insists in sending
it into China. Recently the Chinese
have held several great meetings pro-
testing against the English opium
trade, and even these Chinese women
are now taking part.-Woman's Ma
tfOnal Weekly.

the greatest number of pictures is

After tea another puzzle is intro
duced. Envelopes are distributed
and each person on opening it, dis
covers a quantity of letters taken
from the came called word making
and word taking"
These letters represent sentence
which is written on paper and put
into small sealed envelope which
fits into the envelope containing the
loose letters. The box lid again
comes into play for shifting the let
tiers about in the effort to find the
words to form the hidden sentence.

To Loosen Rusted Screws.

One Of the simplest and readiest
ways Of loosening a rusted screw is
to apply heat to the head of the
screw. A small bar or rod of iron,
flat at the END, if Redeemed on the fire
and applied for two or three minutes
to the head Of the rusty screw will,
as soon as it heats the screw, render
its withdrawal as easy by the screw
driver as if the screw had been only
recently inserted. AS there is a kitch-
en- poker in every house, that in
strument, if heated at it's extremity
and applied for few minutes to the
head of the screw or screws, will do
the work of loosening and the ordi-
nary screwdriver will do the rest
without causing the least damage,
trouble, or vexation of spirit.

To Keep Leather From Cracking.

TO Neep LtaInef FFOm CFackIng.
A good way to keep leather furni-
ture from looking old and to keep it
from cracking is to go over it with
olive oil, put little Of the oil on a
soft cloth, not using too much of the
oil, and then go over it with dry
cloth. 1t is not necessary to go over
the leather but once in three or four
months, just enough to keep it soft.

Fails to Open Building and His
Dead Body and Those of His Wife
and Daughter Are Found.

Monmouth, H., Oct William
e. Dawson, his wife and one daugh-
ter, were found dead in their beds
today, the skulls of each crushed in.
Dawson was the caretaker OF the
First Presbyterian church and when
he failed to open the building for
services today four men went to his
home and found the bodies.
There were no evidences of a
struggle and the murderer is believ-
ed to have killed each with a single
blow The police have no clue.
Bloodhounds from Decatur were
brought to Monmouth. Several
routes were followed but nothing
definite was obtained.
The police believe the murders
were the result of Crude of more
than twenty years standing. Daw-
sons life was at that time threatened
when his testimony is said to have
sent a companion to the penitentiary
for twenty years. Little credence is
given to the robbery theory.
