Working on Road System.
Delegates from various sections of
Iredel county appeared before the
board of county commissioners at its
regular monthly meeting to ask for
road work. The last series Of $125, 900
of the $4,000, 900 bond issue having
been sold, the people Of certain sec
tons of the county not yet pentrated
by the good roads are getting anx-
ious for their roads to be surveyed
and work ordered. So far not much
over half of the $4,000 0 has been
spent and the, county is pretty well
covered with roads and by the time
ali the money is expended the county
will undoubtedly have one of the best
systems Of roads in the South.

TOLD BY THE LITERARY MAN

Tennyson like Mrs. Browning, was
careless regarding his manuscripts:
Some weeks after leaving his lodgings
in Mornington place. Hampstead he
wrote from Bonchurch, telling Coven-
try Patmore that he could not find his
book of eulogies- long butcher-led-
ger-like book" and asked him to make
inquiries. Patmore went to Morning
ton place and. being allowed to search
the poets old rooms he found the book
in a closet where Tennyson had kept
his tea and bread and butter. It was
the unpublished manuscript OF I'm Me-
moriam."
Herbert Spencer, the philloscpher,
once attended the Derby. Francis Gal.
ton, who was his guide, took notes of
the jaunt: All went well, except that
Spencer would not be reused TO en-
thusiasm by the races. He said that
the crowd of men on the grass locked
disagreeable like flies on a plate; also
that the whole event was just Ike
what he imagined the Derby to be. :"
Even the costumes of the men who
shouted the odds was only what he
imagined them to be!
Alfred Austin, the late poet. laureate,
was lucky in his work as journalist.
For many years he did his daily task
at home with the assistance Of a tel
egraph wire run into his study six
miles from the London Standard office.
His instructions came over the wire
and his editorial article went to town
by train. Sometimes he would telC-
graph the whole article.

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS FROM
CRIMSON RAMBLER.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner -
Here, are several suggestions to moth
ers who have small children:
First-Mothers will find their little
ones sleeves short the second, sum-
mer; make them with cuffs, letting
the upper portion of sleeve. which is
gathered, extend to the bottom of the
cuff, putting it on by hand
The next summer simply rip the
cuff and set it on the bottom of the
sleeve part, thus lengthening it by the
width of the cuff
Second-When making suit with
a sailor collar for little boys, sew the
shield on to an underwaist; then sew
the front of the underwaist upon the
front of the pants and see the time
saved, not only in making. but in put
ting on, beside having no trouble
keeping the shield in place
Third-When making dresses for
growing girls. allow for one or two
inch tucks; loosen and 1ehgthen your
stitch on the machine. run the tuclSs
close to the top of the hem. change
the stitch and hem up as usual. The
tuck. being on the wrong side will
not show, when necessary to lengthen
the dress draw the loose thread out
and you will have no ripping of the
hem.
Fourth-If the feet of stockings are
good cut out the hole. that Is, cut off
the stockina above and below the hole,
turn the top piece wrong side out,
slip over the leg and sew with loose
tension on the machine, or by hand,
with back stitches. open the seam
and fasten each side: some stockings
may have legs too short to allow
men6ing In this way: but most can be
done SO, and will wear longer and
look heater than II darned. and will
do nicely for everyday We5sr fer little
folks.

fortunately noticed something wrong
