WHOSE BUSINESS is IT.

(From American Lumberman.)
The development of this town is no
one mans duty; nor is 1t the duty
of any one group Of its people. The
individual must not hesitate to start
the work; his neighbors should not
hesitate to help it along. No one
element can accomplish desired re-
suit alone; neither win one element
alone be benefited thereby. 1t is the
interest of all, and the business of
all; one man may organize, but all
men must execute. The first duty Of
each is to enlist the aid of all; the
duty of all is to promote the interest
of each. The development of this
town is one mans duty; the towns
development is the towns opportu-
Mtg: The towns welfare is the whole
towns business. Let US get busy.

COLD WEATHER IN a..
UNITED KINGDOM

London, Aug. 23.-The crowds of
Americans who came abroad hoping
to escape the heat and leaving their
overcoats behind, forgot the fact that
if 1t were not for the Gulf stream,
England would be an ice-bound, unin-
habited Arctic region.
The present season is almost as
bad as that, for on account of SO
much ice in the middle of the At
lantic, according to scientists, the
Gulf stream is so chilled by the
time 1t reaches these shores it has
caused a summer such as even the
oldest inhabitance cannot remember.
Motorists in Scotland Highlands
nave been snowbound, tourists in the
Emerald Isle have been chilled to the
marrow by the icy North Pole blasts,
while hundreds of sightseers in Lon
don have been slouching about in rain
that would make Flatbush in Novem-
Der seem like a summer holiday.

PROPERTY OWNERS SUE
Fertilizer FACTORY

Currie G. Smith have filed in the
Chancery Court of Forrest county,
bills for damages in behalf of r. L..
Boone and Louis Ward for $500 each,
Frank McWilliams for 800 and Abe
Patterson for 5000, against the Me-
ridian Fertilizer Factory. In each bill
the declaration is made that the plain
tiffs have suffered damage because of
the operation of the Fertilizer Factory
in proximity to their property. In
addition to the prayer for damage they
claim to have already sustained, in
each bill is a prayer for permanent
injunction to restrain the defendant
perpetually from the further oper-
alton of its plant. The suits are
returnable before Chancellor Stevens
at the September term Of Chancery
Court, which convenes here Septem-
Der 23rd.

MARVELLOUS! MARVELLOUS!

The Philadelphia Record, known as
a conservative newspaper, prints the
following article:
"Leaping from the track as a Penn
sylvania express train whizzed by,
Miss Julia Horwitz had her skirt torn
from her body by the engine, but es-
capped uninjured. But the shock was
SO great she was unable TO utter a
word for twenty minutes, although
she did not faint.
Crowds of persons who were stand.
ing on the station platform witnessed
her marvellous escape. BELIEVING that
he had killed or injured the woman
the engineer stopped the train and
backed up to find that Miss Horwitz
had not received a scratch"
And she did not receive a scratch !
The skirt was torn off and the girl
was not scratched? Marvellous! Mar.

Travellers uSeu 10 WTlle lTOu iHuld
about Hindu swordsmen who could
cut a lemon in halves upon the out

enough to permit the demonstration
and not cut the cuticle beneath the

wonderful how those Hindu swords

wonderful how a traveller could lie

/ Whether OF not the woman's Or
carnations have had anything to do |
with 1t is not known, but fashions
barometer points just now to more
modest type of dressing. With a
sigh of relief, old fashioned people
exclaim cts high time"
The low-neck, short-sleeved, mar
row-skirted, thin-stockinged girl of
the spring and summer Of 1912, will
have become ancient history within
few weeks, If fashion manufacturers
have anything to say about it, and
the girl of the fail and winter of the
approaching season will be more mod
est in every way.
Her collar will cut her ears, it will
be so high.
Her skirt will almost trail upon the
ground.
1t will be WIDER too; not the scan
ty thing of this season.
Her hat will be tipped up in the
back, instead of stucily displaying
her face by its upward curve in
front
Her sleeves will be long and lace
ruffles will almast conceal her
hands.
Her ANGLES will be covered and
her shoes will be high.
Sash is in Favor.
Only a sash draped about the hips
and knotted in front, such as we
have seen Oriental dancers wear
will display her figure.
All of the deformaties which have
masqueraded as style for the past
six months will be the sward, along
with the hobble skirt, and will be car
ried from the scene to slow music
Perhapes the most startling limo
walton in the matter of style will be
the collar which the fashionable girl
of the fall and winter of 1912 and
1913 will wear. While it will be as
high as the length of the neck will
permit, it will not in any way re-
semble the monstrositities of the net
and celluloid which Rugged the neck
so closely, and which held their shape
by reason of the superstructure of
whalebone or featherbone upon
which they were built.
The new collar is known as the
Robespierre, and will be seen on
everything, regardless. 1t will adorn
the tairor-made waist and the even
ing gown as well, for if their is one
thing in which the American women
shines, it is the sublime impartiallity
with which she welcomes a new
fad and uses 1t at all times and on all
occasions. The new collar will come
in every color and combination Of
colors, from black and white to the
daring mixture of cerise and purple
green and orange, tan, browns, and
grays.
Must be Wished On.
This new collar, the writer will ex
plain, for the edification of thos'
who have never met it, is the copy o
the ones worn by the immortal Rot
. ey of France. along the latter par
: of the eighteenth century. 1t is hig
in the back, SO high that she VIII
: wears it win be compelled to dres
|. her hair on the top of her head, O
else tuck it down inside of the cola
where it win be hidden from sigh
1t has frill in front, and there
only one way to keep 1t from wrlnl
ling and whiting, and that's to wish
up, for no provision has been mad
in these collars for the use of whal
