SOME CLEANING HINTS
METHODS THAT WILL BOTH Rem
ovATE AND PRESERVE.
Use Spirits Of Wine, With Warm Wa.
ter, to Freshen satIn--Proper Care
Of cIass-Washing Soda
for silver.

To Clean Satin.-Take equal proper.
tions of spirits of wine and warm wa
ter, sponge the satin on the right side
with this, working down the material
and not across It. While still damp,
iron on the wrong side.
Another plan Is to clean the satin
with the following mixture; Four
ounces of honey, the same quantity Of
melted soap mixed with one egg and
one winegIass of gin, using stiff
brush. When the satin appears clean,
rinse in cold water; press between
clean cloths to dry or hang up to
drain.
Iron while still damp, and thorough
ly dry before folding.
Care of Glass.-There is nothing
that repays one more for careful wash.
ing and drying than glass. First one
must have a bowl of warm water soft
ened with dissolved soap, which
makes very good lather. Too hot
water should not be used, as 1t might
crack the glass.
Have bowl Of clean water to rinse
the glass in after washing it and If
very fine polish be desired on 1t have
third bowl of cold water with little
ammonia in It, Wash each article sep
arately, rinse it well, and dry with a
soft glass cloth, which should be made
of linen or little, fluffy particles will
stick to the glass and spoil the ap-
pearance.
When it is washed and dried polish
with a leather kept for the glass. or
with a silk handkerchief or with some
soft tissue paper.
How to Clean Silver.-Have an alu-
minum pan containing about two gal
Ions Of cold water. In this dissolve a
piece of washing soda about the size
of an egg, and heat the solution to
boiling point. Drop into this the sill
yer to be cleaned, taking care to keep
the whole at boiling point. Let the
silver soak for three or four minutes.
Lift out with a wire spoon or long
handled fork, wash in hot soap suds
and wipe quickly with perfectly dry
towel The pieces so cleaned will be
as highly polished as when new.
This process will neither injure
plated nor solid ware. When all the
silver is finished, If there are any
pieces that do not look white and
clear, rub them with little dry whit
ing and a dry buster; then polish of
with soft, dry cloth.
To Wash Feather Boa.-Prepare a
soap lather and one or two lukewarm
rinsing waters. Place the boa in the
soap lather and wash 1t by squeezing
between the hands till quite clean.
Rinse 1t well to take out all the dirty
water and soap.
When this is done, squeeze the wa
ter out of the feather and roll in a
cloth, which will absorb the moisture
Take hold of the boa by the ends and
twist each in the opposite direction,
thus giving the natural twist to the
boa. Fasten piece of tape to each
and tie these to a line to prevent the
twist from becoming undone. Shake
the boa to separate the fronds, and
leave it until quite dry, occasionally
shaking 1t to keep the fronds apart.
The drying process should be done
in warm place, so that it will dry
quickly, and the fronds thus become
fluffy, when it Is ready for curling.

Under the gate house has been found
the semi-circular vault. II is thirty feet
| in diameter. It is believed that this
vault is another line of communication
concealed behind thin shell of masonry
The surveyors who tested the walls are
of this belief owing to the fact that while
the walls are solid. there is one place
where the masonry is very thin, and
| echoes hollow to blows from hammers
or the knuckles
The tunnels have been explored for a
short distance beyond the three masked
entrances. Their course has been inter-
rupted by cave-lns, which can be traced
from the surface. At one point in the
first tunnel on IN eek side there are
indications OF anol Underground apart

1t is the neighborhood belief that the

fabulous amount. 1t is known that
Joseph Bonaparte was always we'll sup

has it that he kept gold hidden in the
leaden statues that stood in the park in
front of the villa, and that these statues
unaccountably disappeared.
Il is the belief that they, with other
treasure were placed in one of the hid
den vaults and there lie to this day.
The passages will be cleared, bricked
up and restored. The whole park will
be restored, and even the skating rink,
built partly into the Delaware, forming
circle, will be made as it was in the
days OF the chateau's glory.
Some furniture from the old chateau
was saved, among which were three
mantels of Carrara marble, presented
to Napoleon by the Pope. They were
transferred to the Beckett house, where
they are at present. They will be re-
moved to the restored chateau. The in
terror decorations will be restored ir
cordance with pictures and old prints
OF the historic dwelling in the hands of
the architects. From the banks of the
river it again will rise up through the

ture stolen for a modern age, from the
days OF the empire, way back yonder.

How He Would Do Il

AT the present writing we have
no desire to leave this vale of tears
and hurl ourself into Abraham S
bosom. But if we desired to do so
we would not lean up against a
loaded gun and pull the trigger as
many do. Neither would we eat a
solid meal of rough on rats, blow
out the eas, drink concentrated lye
sit down on the lay of a buzz saw,
smoke cigarettes, or call a Ken
tuckian q liar or a poor judge OF
whiskey. We would simply Get
out an edition Of our paper IN
which we would strive to the best
of our ability to print the plain,
sGuare-toed truth about everything
as we understand 1t, and then
calmly await the end'-Searcy

GOODS of Quality are the only
kind worth while. That's the kind
we sell. When you buy cheap
goods you are taking chances. The
only reason some goods are cheap
is because they are not worth
much. -. :. -,
WE sell nothing that we cannot
guarantee in every respect. We
rely upon h g satisfaction our
goods give our customes to keep
all our old customers and get some
new ones also. :. :.
WE buy our goods from those man

bos been cast in the democratic
Urinary election. Right soon the
nol]s will open and the battle Oh
ballots will begin. May the best
men win in every contest from
limited States Senator to constable
Of the township. This is the ear
nest wish of this paper.
The county candidates are a
lot of splendid citizens. While
the quantity of candidates this year
is much smaller than usual, there
is no lack of quality and high order
Of ability among those who are Of
ferine their services to the public
In a few minutes we are gong 10
the polls. We should like to cast
a vote for almost every man whose
name we will find on the ballot
which is, of course, impossible. We
imagine that many voters VIII
scratch their tickets with genuine
regret 1t is always SO. One can
not vote for all his friends. And
because one votes against the can
didate it does not follow that ne
does not hold him in highest es-
TEEN and have for him the most
Genuine friendship. The county
candidates have had a hard cam
paien. The weather and roads
have been miserable from the be-
tinning to the end of the cam
paign, We imagine that had some
of the candidates known what was
before them in the way Of weather
conditions they would probably
have hesitated before entering the
field. The man who wins an office
at the primary today will have
earned it. The man who loses will
have at least one consolation that
we can bring to mind, If he wants
to make crop he can get an even
start in the field with his neiehbor.
The long, hard winter, and the ter
rible time the candidates have had
on the canvass, will in the future
be used as good argument for a
primary later in the year--say af-
ter crops are finished.
This paper took no part in the
state campaign or expressed no
preference between candidates for
state or district offices, except that
it opposed the denomination of
Governor Donaehey for a third
term. We conscientiously believe
that Governor Donaghey is the man
who Is most hurtinss Arkansas,
and this paper attacked him only
through bis public record, which is
public property and open always to
honest discussion or criticism.
Governor Donashey may win in
the primaries today, If he does,
this paper will submit to that result
with the very best of grace. This
paper has never accredited to itself
wisdom superior to that possessed
by any majority. This paper only
reflects the sentiment Of its editor
after he has made an honest effort
to arrive at righteous conclusion,
and has not the slightest quarrel
with those who do not view mat
ters as 1t views them.
{" /" :.
Every citizen has the inalienable
right to vote as he pleases. We
are glad of that, In this great and
free America of ours the result of
elections should reflect the unbiased
and untrammeled will of the peo-
pie, expressed at the ballot box In
good conscience after q thorough
study Of conditions that surround
the election and the various cam
didates, Let the people rule. To.
day Is the day we vote. We're 90
Ing to do 1t now.
