VELVET FOR ALL OCCASIONS
Most Popular Of All Winter Material,
for Tailored or Semi-TaiIored
Costumes.

And some in velvet gowns"
That line In the old nursery rhyme

news from Paris can be relied upon,
nearly all will be in velvet gowns be.
fore the winter is ended.
Plain and striped velvets are being
featured prominently among the semi
tailored and tailored costumes. Two
piece suits and the favorite one-piece
afternoon frock Of velvet will have q
place in almost every woman's ward
robe, especially if she be numbered
among the well-dressed class.
Suits of plain one-tone velvet, or
striped velvet showing two tones,
trimmed with fur or deliberately braid
ed, are very much in evidence. Some
of the smartest of these have high col.
lars that close about the throat in mill
tary effect, and these are often fin
ished with big rever on one side of
the front. 4.

Black and white is the color com.
bination of this becoming turban,
with touch Of gilt to enliven it. The
hat is covered with black velvet
draped on the left side, and knotted
In irregular loops and one long end.
Around the crown a scarf on white
satin is draped, the ends of this also
knotted and mingling with the knot
ted velvet on the left. Along the
bottom edge of the scarf is sewed a
narrow white silk fringe and around
the top narrow strip of gilt lace.
This is a hat which could be worn
with many costumes and be equally
pretty with all, owing to it's neutrality
of color.

Reversible Coats.

Satin coats are made in reversible
style, the lining being in a pretty con-
trasting shade. To give the necessary
warmth the satin reversible coat has
an fnterlining of some wooden ma
terial.
Black and gold, old rose and smoke
gray, light and dark blue, champagne

means of reverse facings in the deep

Material, Thus Trimmed, Makes Up
Into Dresses Of the Most Hand
some Description.
JULIA soTToMLEY.

Some, of the new cotton fabrics for
1912 are beautiful in the extreme, and
hit cotton goods into the realm of
fine dress. Rich embroidery is used
on them, and one of the new features
Is satin stripping or satin bordering.
On some sheer gray voiles, almost
silky in texture, there is a broad Dor
der of gray satin, heavily embroidered
in the same tone. This will make up
into handsome dresses, of which not
even the most elderly or most wealthy
need feel any shame.
More youthful and giddy is a light
cotton fabric with a border of satin
sheer in which the motif is stamped
on in gold, purple and other rich col
ors-a series of large iris In natural
tones.
Solid embroidery in color, combined
with openwork, is a feature Of some of
the new white fabrics.
The new linens are heavy in texture.
and come in large variety of color
ings. Gray is especially well liked.
and there are good blues, pinks, greens
and other shades. In the rough crash
finishes the pure white linen is not
seen as much as the colored and the
natural tone, but it is pre-eminent
among the lightweight linens.

Elliott.

George Elliott, who resided on the
j. H. McClintic farm near town,
sustained injuries last Wednesday
from which he died late Friday
afternoon.
Immediately after the accident
DR.. Guilford was called and at once
pronounced the patient in a critical
condition. On Friday DR.. Christie
of Quincy, was called with the
hopes that an operation would re
lieve the sufferer but council of
the physicians pronounced the case
beyond human skill and he passed
away as above stated. AS near as
we can gather, Mr.. Elliott with his
brother were riding horseback near
their home when the horse he was
riding became frightened and sud :
denly SHE'D, throwing Mr.. Elliot in
to a hedge fence. Some say his
saddle turned and his foot hung in
the stirup and that he was dragged
for some distance, Anyway he
was terribly lascerated and bruised
and for a time rendered uncon-
scious. He was taken to his home
and everything done to relieve his
suffering but to no avail.
MIR. Elliott was 36 years of age
and left a wife and three children.
The funeral took place from the
Catholic church in this city Sunday.
There is universal sympathy for
the bereaved widow and fatherless
children.

For several years there has been
a good deal of fun poked at the
farmer and all his family, but times
change and now the farmer and his
wife are rising to their deserved
level of acknowledged ability and
usefulness in the welfare of their
country. 1t is just as glorious to
make good buckwheat pancakes
and apple butter as to make good
souff1es and ladyfingers, and just as
uplifting to feed a calf milk and the

A New year.

Another chapter has opened in
the book of history. The chapter
Of 1911 with all its successes and
failures has been closed. For all us
there are recorded in its pages
some joys and pleasures and then
there are pages Of sadness and re-
gret. We are one year nearer our
eternal home than on the day when
the first of the 1911 chapter was
written. What have we done dur
ing that period of time? Are we
better today than one year ago?
Are we better prepared to meet our
final judge? Have we done what
we should have done to make the
Journey of humanity across this
part of their existence more pleas
ant and to better fit themselves
for the future? The chapters of our
book of life are being hastily writ
ten, the years are rapidly chasing
us off the stage of action in this
world, our allotted time here is
swiftly passing. Soon we will be
here no more. Others will trOd
where we have trod. Those who
are with us and those who come af-
ter us will live largely as our exam
pie has shown them. Then how
careful we should be in our daily
lives. Our lives are greatly infiu-
enced by those who have for centu-
ries been on the stage Of action
here and have long moldered into
dust, yet their influence stiIl lives,
some for good. others for evil. The
question with you now should be to
30 live. that when the summons
comes to join that innumerable
throng to that land from whence
ts- - - lelers has. returned that you
will be prepared to cross that river
that lies between and enter joy
fully into the land of eternal sun
shine. Then your life will aid 9th
ers who may follow to live lives of
usefulness here and forever be hap
py in that land beyond death.

not known and is hard to account
for, as SO far as known no fire had
been about the building. The Mon

could be done was to prevent the
flames from spreading, the fire hav-

before it was discovered. The barn
was filled with hay and there were
some household furniture stored in
the building. The loss on contents

All signs point to active and
prosperous business for the year
1912. Opinions from the leading
business men and financial sources
are quite encouraging. Now let us
all shorten our faces and get busy.
Business is usually what we make
1t and we should get out and start
something. Now who is to be the
first to inaugurate a policy of sys-
tematical advertising? Come around
and let us help you. We might
be able to give our customers
some valuable suggestions, not that
we understand your particular line
but on account of our long expert
ence and observation in advertising
methods, we are sure there are
occasions when we can dive
some pointers. If business GETS
dull with you it is good time to
cast about to see what is the mat
ter. About nine times out of ten
the dullness is because you are not
offering to trade with anyone. Re-
member you must offer your line to
the public if you want the public to
trade with you. Only thieves take
that which is not offered them.
