market and no section hauls more
farm products to market than Lost

marketed principally in January Feb
ruary and March when roads are bad
and much needed. Petitions are being
circulated asking our commissioners
to do this when the Atlanta road is
completed and our citizens are sub
scribing work and etc. to help our
commissioners do this work. Will
they not help us?.
While we are enjoying the har-
vest of good crops we should not
forget them or those who are not.
We mean those persons near Ken

hail, we believe it is nothing but
right that our county commissioners
should exempt them fro intakes this

veIls Now Often Discarded.

Wells are very much less worn than
they used to be in past seasons. They
are less easy to wear with very small
hats, for the simple reason that they
may easily touch the eyes or at least
the eyelashes; but, since the extreme
1y small hat is specially reserved for
the very young woman, she may well
permit herself to meet the full glare
of daylight in the street without any
softening veil. Besides this, some hy-
<ienic people pretend that the veil is
harmful both to the complexion and
the sight, and, while it is also true
hat the contrary opinion is held, the
devotee of fashion will follow her own
personal opinion without bothering
her head about any other.-Paris Edi-
ton Of New York Herald.

HARMONY ALWAYS A POINT
Sharp Contrasts in Living Room Some
thing to Be Avoided by the Up
to-Date Homcmaker.

A room is really a picture, or at
least it should be composed with due
regard to its esthetic possibilities. The
walls are the background of which
doors and windows are a part. The
furniture is in the middle distance and
the family furnishes the foreground.
1t is evident that if the wall paper
is figured conventional designs are al
ways best and the designs should be
worked out in varying tones of the
dominant color This dominant color
may be any that lends itself charming
ly to interior decoration. 1t should be
soft, rich and beautiful in its varying
shades.
1t is not enough that it should blend
with carpets and curtains or contrast
harmoniously with them. 1t should be
favorable as background to the per-
sons who make the main part of the
picture, it should bring out the flesh
tones. or at least not spoil them, and
it should not clash with the colors of
the garments worn by those who pass
their time within the four walls of the
room. Moreover, it should simplify the
lighting problems, whether the posi-
hion of windows or the effect of cleo
trio lamps is taken into consideration.

Time is the decisive factor in the
accomplishment of any great purpose
The races have accomplished most
and of lasting character in the past
who possessed the greatest patience
in wording out their problems of
whatever sort. The Chinese, the
Egyptian and the Aryan races are the
greatest in this respect of all those
who have Survived the wreck of
matter and the crush of worlds" They
have builded for the ages because
they were not in a hurry about it and
preferred thoroughness in the work
manship that required infinite time
and patience, to immediate results,
rushed through in a hurry, with the
least expenditure of time and patience,
and, therefore, all the more subject
to the gradual mutation of wear and
tear. The New York East river bridg-
es and the subways are works of the
character that required time and pa
tience, and were built for the future
as we'll as for the present The
growth of character and the material
evidences of growth are always a slow
and tedious process. in the individual
as in the race and nation. The Ma
tional Negro Business league was
organized in Boston thirteen years
ago. Its growth has been progressive,
and the good it has accomplished by
precept rather than example has been
more far reaching than its organizers
could have dreamed of. 1t has had
but one president, two chairmen of
the executive committee and two
treasurers since its organization, al
though the membership has steadily
increased in numbers and improved in
character. The business activities of
the race have been vitalized and ex-
panded with the years, so that where
they were but few they are now to be
found in every nook and corner of the
republic, modest indeed but full of
the promise Of large growth The
business league has blazed the way
for them, and will continue to do so,
If our business men are wise enough
to keep it alive in the future, when
they no longer need to be led in the
way they should go.
