which we tax ourselves, the postmen,

crochet yarn has been converted into
this pretty and convenient affair for
the dressing table. The hair at each
side is tied with a little bow of rib
bon. There is hole in the top of
the head into which small hairpin

serves to suspend the head. The
small holes provided for sewing the

Using chain stitch the heavy yarn

more attractive than fancy shapes and
they are much prettier when undeco-
rated.
In spite of its airy and fragile ap-
pearance, marabout wears very well.
1t is very much less expensive than
fur. If one has only small amount
of money to invest in neck piece

better showing than furs at the same
price. Neckpieees may be had at

the same price. Extra long and fine
pieces, or a liberal use of ostrich
trimming, brings the price up. For
SIS a very fair-lookinE set may be
bought either plain or with some os-
trich trimming.
In the fancy colors and in white

Amber is at the topnotch OF pop
ularity. This is significant in view
OF the fact that champagne is the pop
ular spring color in Paris for gowns,
suits, etc, and that tan is so well

In point of fact, however, amber
has been slowly but surely winning
public favor for year or more Start
ing with a mere spark, this favor has
increased to a fame, then become a
blaze and now bids fair to finally
amount to a positive conflagration.

REv.J.M' BRIDE
WASSUSPENDED
PREACHER AT THE METHODIST
CHURCH AT PoWELToN WILL
BE PROHIBITED FROM PREACH
ING FOR PERIOD OF ONE YEAR.

A dispatch from Montgomery has
the following to say of one of Thurs
days events before the body of Me-
fhodist ministers there: Rev. John J.
Mcbride. who has had charge of a
church at Powellton, Florida, was for
1nally suspended for one year for pre-
varicating by the Alabama conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church,
South, at its second days session on
Wednesday evening, and it unanimous
" voted to recommend that all con-
nection between Mr.. AEcBryde and the
Methodist church be discontinued for
twelve months.
Mr.. McBryde was suspended by the
presiding elder Of the district several
weeks ago and charges were brought
against him In the conference We'd
nesday. After the minister htd been
suspended It was stated that the
charge against him was that he had
nnisrepresented a matter which con-
cerned the Methodist church. He can
neither be used as a. supply minister
nor appear in an yservice OF the Me-
thodist church during the period OF his
suspension.
when Mr.. McBryde was called be-
fore the committee he admitted the
charge, pleaded guilty and requested
that the punishment be made as light
as possible, as conditions the same as
those he faced at the time would
never bring the same consequences
again.

Editor Pensacola Journal.
My attention has been called to a

county commissioners Of this county
upon a proposition of compromise
submitted TO them by the B1oUnt Con-

The almost necessary inference from
the publication of a single letter,
which was part of q. chain of cor
respondence, and of the failure to
state that proceeding that letter, there
had been negotiations between the at
torneys for the county and .he at
torneys for the Blount Construction
Company, is that the Blount Construc-
ton Company volunteered an offer of
compromise. Such, however. is not
the case, and I desire to dispel the
impression which might be made upon
the minds of your readers, that the

Blount Construction Company was so
anxious for a compromise that it pro-
posed one.
The suggestion as to the submission
of an offer of compromise came in Au-
gust last, from Judge John C. Avery,
the county attorney. The Blount Con-
struction Company had never thought
of offering a, compromise before that
time The result of his suggestion was
several conferences and some commu-
nications with him, which finally de-
veloped in the offer which was evil
denced by the letter published by you.
The Blount Construction Company
was not a. volunteer, but was invited
to make the offer.
