SEWER AND LIGHT QUESTION.

We call the attention of the people
of Marietta to the seriousness of the
contest that is to be waged for the
next three weeks and which will be de
cided in the bond election on the first
of May.
in connection with the water plant
we have constructed sewer system.
which is not yet complete and fo'
which it is proposed to issue addition.
al bonds. We think the bonds should
be authorized and that the people
should be unanimous on the question
OF perfecting the sewer system, which
is necessary for the health of the city.
There should be no division over sew
ers, for the patrons of both water sys-
TENS are using them and both would
be shut out should the use of the sew
ers be enjoined through failure to in
st2l septic tanks.
We regard the fight over the cleo
tfic light business as of secondary i'm
portance, and as purely a question of
n
drink the water that he considers
pIrest and best. He will buy the cleo
trlc light and power that comes cheap
est. The public service corporation
has announced a cut in it's water rate
and will use every effort to retain its
mold. We may expect that it will
right very vigorously to preserve it's
lighting system That course is natu-
raj and it must be taken into con-
slderation in estimating the profits on
the city's plant, if one should be in
stalled.
We have no doubt that if the city
had no competition in either water or
lights the results would be satisfac.
tory from financial standpoint. but
under competition money is going to
be lost by somebody. 1t is possible
that before the fight is over more
money will be sunk than would STAND
between the two sides in any effort to
adjust the situation now.
We think it would be well for the
Board of Water and Lights to take tho
'+' NNNi NP NAhll the NCuHCSdW BAnpT
Co. and see what the present plant
would cost and what income could be
immediately obtained which would
supplement the income from the city's
water system, which is not yet self.
sustaining.
On the one hand we have an adj.
mirable Board of Water and Lights
and Council of splendid business
men, and on the other hand we have a
great enterprise just entering upon
what We believe will be a successful
career. 1t is being put on a much
broader basis than ever before and we
should regret to see fight between it
ana the city, if one can be avoided
We urge both sides to make an earn.

trouble and waste.

LOST MOUNTAIN.

Planting will commence in ear

1t would certainly be gratifying
to the citizens out here if the coun-

Jury and have the hills cut down
between Mud creek and Noses

road.
Mr.. Wiltse Arnold will close
his school here next Friday and
will go to Macon where he will

regret to lose such d worthy
young man from our community.

fashionable white pique shirts.
Black velvet sashes arc considered very
stylish, caught with a diamond buckle,
using very lightweight velvet
CoIlarIess necks are used for lingerie

The newest Dutch collar closes in the
back and has a five-inch pieated tabot
over the front from the neck edge
Many Of the new laces show combi-

last lace is extremely fashionable
The latest mode brings in black vel
vet evening coat, with sailor collar and
cuffs and long, tasseled revers of white
satine.
Some OF the new shawl-shaped stoles
are made of a new material very much
Ike plush. and they are usually seen in
the soft taupe shades.
Bugles and jet, which have always
been associated in our minds with ele-
gantly gowned old ladies, are now seen
ornamenting fippant evening frocks and

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR HAIR BRUSH.

The hygienic condition in which both
brushes and combs are kept so influence
hair and scalp that IL the former are
not constantly freed from dust that
which they contain win be directly ap-
piled each time either article is used.
Each time after it is used a brush
should have it's bristles freed from dust,
just as a busting cloth is cleaned after
being used. A good housekeeper would
not dream Of putting away a busting
cloth without shaking it, but the same
woman will put down her hair brush
with no thought of its being unclean.
To free the bristles from dust, strike a
fat surface, such as bureau top or table,
with the tips Of the bristles, the brush
back being in normal position. Then

NEWEST HEADDRESS
GIVES PRETTY EFFECT

The evening dress of this season calls
for a fancy headdress. Heretofore the
coiffure has been elaborately dressed, and
handsome combs. barrettes. and bandeaus
were de rigueur. Now. however, the curls
and puffs are still used, but are adorned
with fancy bands or almost concealed by
a dainty cap of lace, net. or beads. The
latter is the very newest fancy of the
moment, adding picturesqueness to the
simplest costume. The girl with limited
allowance need not despair at her ina
bility to buy the pretty things which bring
big prices at the hairdressers or the mill
merry establishments, for II she is at all
ingenious she can make a number of
them at small expense by watching the
bargain counters at this season. piece
of tarnished lace or embroidery, n strand
of beads or imitation pearls, some short
lengths of ribbon, a fancy galloon, or
ornament in sequins, a spray of flowers
any of these should be seized If marked
reasonably. for they can be made to
do wonderful service in fashioning the
new headdress. The very smartest cap
is one of embroidered silk net, which fits
the head close with tiny brim that is
of gold beads and is narrow in front,
springing out at each side.
A particularly lovely cap is one of coral
beads strung on silver cord. Near the
bottom a ribbon of cloth of silver is
twisted through the beads and forms
round ornament in front. A simple band
but very effective one is made OF silver
tissue which is run through three round
buckles of silver. The latter might easily
be formed of cloth of silver over paste
board foundation.
a. very beautiful baRdeau seen recently
was OF pearl beads strung on a lattice
work of silver wire. with a white aigrette
that ornaments one side, sweeping to the
back. Some very inexpensive decorations
are made of dull gold or silver galloons,
which are sewn with beads to represent
different colored jewels.
green and gold ornament is alto
gether new. II consists of a bandeau of
metallic ribbon. which has a pointed
border OF gold and decorated with green
berries like jewels. These pretty things
are worn at the smartest affairs Of this
season, and will be seen at the summer
resorts later. so the woman who goes out
at all should have her eye out for any
thing odd she may convert into head
dress different from those worn by her
friends This is her opportunity to show
her artistic ideas. The more original her
are the more admired they
will be.

rub across the table edge with the bris-
ties, saving across, as it were II there
is doubt in her mind OF the need Of this
treatment, one cleaning in this way will
convince her.
Once a week is, as a rule. often enough
to wash a brush. More than that is apt
to make the bristles limp, and il they
are to be kept stiff never must they be
placed in very hot water.
There are specially prepared powders
for cleaning bristles, but a few tea
spoonfuls Of borax in a basin Of clear
water are excellent. To cleanse a brush
il this preparation, hold the bristles
down and shake them under water. To
dry. the brush should be placed on end,
that the water may run out quickly.

HANDSOME MODEL OF
AN ALL-BEAD GOWN
FOR EVENING WEAR.

Beads, beads everywhere, would seem
to be the cry this season. for there is a
perfect craze for beads Of wood, beads
OF glass, which are used in all sorts of
ways to adorn dress materials. TO make
hats. evening caps, and other hair orna-
ments. They are not only sewn on chif-
ION and gauze and other fImy materials,
but the French have a way~af baking
porcelain beads in the goods by a process
that gives beautiful and satisfactory re-
suits. A very handsome gown for wear
at a dinner or the theater- is illustrated
to-day made entirely of gold beads. The
foundation slip is in the prevailing en-
pire style with the high waist line. From
the shoulders in the back there extends
nearly to the hem of the tunic a panel
embroidered in white beads and edged
with band of black velvet an inch in
width, this in turn being bordered with
jet bead fringe. Black velvet finishes the
sleeves, which are slashed and trimmed
