T lost over S5, OOOin the flood, y said a big farm owner iA the Mississippi bottoms to the AR eCy man Monday: Water is all over all of my land yet, but whats the use of being down in the mouth? We must push on, and to make the biggest crop we have ever made. 1 got a lesson from tho way you Brinkley busi- ness men put your shoulders to the wheels and pushed things ts tho front for the first six months after the cyclone. Why if you people had have kept up that kind of pushing and pulling together you would have had the greatest town in Arkansas by now. Organization and staying together counts. That's what has made Marianna the best town in all Eastern Arkansas. They stand together there, they have paved streets. fine build- ings and are!forging ahead faster than any other town 1 know of. If they of Marianna haa the advantages Brinkley has. they
 blt hcre stopped the man by telling him about Brinkley going to wake up and get together in another long. strong pull, such as we did for the five or six mo ,ths following the cyclone. l told him how we had just re- ceived S65, O00.00 from sale of the Piney Drainage bonds. how the sewerage system was going in, how the $500, ,000 Bayou De- View drainage district to the west of town, was about an as- sured thing, that on these mat ters there was not the usual fric- tion among the banks, that our banks stood together and shared equally in every matter where the public interests were at stake. that there was kindlier feeling among our citizenship. etc. that it wasn't going to be long before there would be some of our citi- zens who would appreciate the fact that organized effort counted and they would then again orga- nizs for the work just as we did anI fro which we saw such such onderf1lly satisfactory results from following the cy. clone. Said he, Folsom, stop, stop, right now. or else I'll be after joining you Brinklsyites in this patient and expectant watch you so bravely and sanguinely maintain = this watch for over whelming prosperity.

Just About Town.

Say, take this pom and print it-it has more in 1t than d whole page of politics, said a certain Brinkley man, whose patriotism and faith in the bird of citizenship is unquestionable. The statesman does ths speaking, The editor booms the town,
 The lover does the popping.
 The damsc turns him down,
 The poet does the dreaming.
 The farmer clears the woods
 The eagle does the screaming,
 But the stork delivers the goods.

The whole mass will be sWeeter
when drying is complete If the leaves
be stripped from the stalks. The stems
sometimes take on rank odor. lhat
stripping is by no means tedious, anu
the loose leaves should be thrown on

For a week or more they are lelt
out in the air and sun to do the WORK

leaves are crisp, and OF course break

BAR PINS IN HIGH FAVOR
Either Metal or Gems May Be Used
for This Hair Ornament Just
Now So Often Seen.

In the realm OF brooches the bar
pin reigns supreme. The round, high
brooch of former times is superseded
by the long, straight pin that forms
bar of shining metal or cleaning
gems.
Principal among these reigning ia
vorites are the bars formed of row
of tiny pearls, or of brilliants set in
costly platinum. Their severe sim
plieity gives to them distinctive dig
nifty, which adds piquancy and style
to the costume.
More elaborate bar pins have rows
of alternate diamonds and sapphires,
emeralds or rubies; or pearls are
combined with the colored stones.
A beautiful pin shown at one of
the elite jewelry shops has a row Of
pearls and amethysts in alternate
groups of two and three amethysts
between four tiny pearls. The gems,
all of the same size, are inclosed by

CHARACTER IN HAT

FEELINGS OF THE TIMES.
Sketches in Group Show a Revival Of
Modes of Other Days, Some of
Which Were Remarkably
Pretty.

If we look upon dress from a psy-
Geological point of view, We shall al
ways find much of the expression and
feeling OF the times portrayed in the
headgear of the period. There is
character in a hat! Study closely
tn attractive group of sketches you
have before you, and see the revival
of the modes of 1898 to 1S00-see rev.
olution, lawlessness and chaos in the
spirit and in the temper of each. To
day we have the turban, taken up
originally by the republican ladies of
fashion in 1899, when a Turkish am
bassador came to Paris. They some
times planted a republican cockade at
the side instead of the aigrette, but
both were worn and are worn. (See
Fig. H.

Buttoned boots and slippers are now
