The Home.


 There is nothing that is as cheap, that will add so much to the beauty. pleasure and com fort of our homes. be they ever so humble, as a little paint, white wash and paper in the Spring, especially when all nature is putting on her best and newest garb. Think, how much pleas ure you. for a dollar or so can, af- ford that poor little tired wife who from day to day is forced to look with weary eyes upon the same old dingy, faded wall, by pasting over it some nice, beautiful and cheerful pattern of paper. We believe she will ap- preciate it next to . new gown or bonnet. We believe even you will be pleased with the fresh, beautiful and cheerful styles of wall paper that the New Drug Store will show you this Spring.

The Sellars Recital.

MT. Gatty Sellars, the London Organist-C Composer was greeted on Tuesday night last by a Him. ited but enthusiastic audience, and the music lovers of Brinkley feel that they were especially fortunate in having secured the services of a celebrated artist.
 While Mir. Sellars is only really at home on a large organ, the effects he was able to produce and his wonderful technique was admirably displayed on a small upright piano, while the chime effects and the trumpet calls were a.decided novelty. Added ito this, the charm of his own compositions. and the arrange menu of the program in general, taking as he did works from 8 few we'll known masters, show ing variety of style in compost tion, was entirely pleasing, and the audience showed their appre- citation by enthusiastic applause and several encores. It is a compliment to the good taste of Ia Brinkley audience that Mir. Sellars was so recieved, for love of music in the real sense of the word is greatly a matter of ed- ucation and natural musical sense.
 Mir. Sellars was assisted by Mrs. Thos. Dunlap, who sang in her usual charming way one of his songs The Survey of the Cross, " and by MT. s. P. How ard in a beautiful rendition of the Rosary" on the cornet. and in the. trumpet calls and fan-fares of the Coronation music which closed the program.
 The recital was given under the auspices of the School Im- provement Society, and it is un fortunate that the time for ad- vertising was limited. as the re- cital was arranged hurriedly. but considering this fact Brink ley responded iu way that fully justified the young ladies in any time and energy expended. We hope our city will always well come opportunities of this char acter, for it is not often they come to our door.

To the Farmers of konroe
 County

We wish to urge upon you and to emphasize the importance of widening your cotton rows which are, as a rule, too close with or without the boil weevil. Let the width of the rows be governed by the heigth of the cotton us- usually grown on the land giv- ing them the distance that the cotton grows tall. Under boil weevil conditions it is very im- portant to let the sunshine in to destroy the immature weevils in the squares which have fallen. ProcureIgood seed before plant ing time. Respectfully,
 H. F. CAssELL,
 Special Agent.
