Be Played by Fiddlers
Mountain Men Don't Think At

In Open Commpetition.

GAINESVILLE GA. March IS
The Habershatn Fiddle and Bow asso-
citation has held a meeting and resolved
to send at least three representatives
to the Atlanta Old Ffddlers convention,
TO be held at the Auditorium April 1
to 3.
The association is composed of about
40 of the most famous fiddlers in the
north Georgia mountains, men who
have played at barn dances and corn
stockings since the Civil war. Squire
r. L. Ransdale, president of the socie-
ty, is convinced that the Habersham
contingent will bear off the first prize.
I'm pretty certain those Atlanta
folks will like our brand of music" he
said today. Some of them rich ones
who come up to the mountains in sum-
mer say they'd rather hear real I'D

Devil and Tom Walker than all that
opera the papers talk so much about. 1
reckon we'll send Uncle Andy Taylor
and Dave Webb, and maybe Ltge Trim
BILE. Those three can put it over any
f1ddlers in this section jerking real old
time music out of a fiddle. l may de-
eide to do little scraping and patting
myself, and, anyway, I'm going to be
on hand"

Says the Lakeville Journal "As an nounced last week Highway Commis- sioner Bennett will come to Lskeviffe on Friday, May 2nd, as the guest of the Lakeville Business Mems Association. The Commissioner will inspect the roads in this vicinity and in the evening be present at a meeting of the Business Mems Association to be held at Roberts Hall. Invitations have been extended to Sharon, Canaan, Lime Rock and Salisbury and delegations from all these towns are expected to be present. Sails bury is getting way behind in state roads and unless immediate steps are taken to better existing conditions-the town will be isolated from tourists. State roads are now being constructed from Millerton to Hillsdale and from there to the Massachusetts lIne-also up the Housatonic Valley. From Canaan to Hartford there is a state road sspracti- cally all the way but at present 1t is al- most impossible to motor from Salisbury of Smith Hill. The same conditions exist toward Millerton and Sharon. At the meeting on May 2nd, there will be a general discussion of the needs of better highways for this section of the state by representatives present from the various towns and in this way acquaint the Commissioner with existing needs.

Oriental Ruq Dyes.

The dyes employed in the coloring of the materials that go to make up ori- ental rugs have always been the de- spair of westerners. We are told of one strange method of making the dyes of ancient days. It seems that in some places the custom prevailed of making holes in the beds of brooks during the dry season, in which, when the rain fell, all sorts of vegetable and mineral substance were deposited and left to act upon one another until the dry sea- son arrived. when the contents of the 'holes were removed by the dyers, who, grinding all together indiscriminately, made shades that vied with the pi- geon's breast in beauty and with the clouds of sunset in variety.

Connecticut Suffrage News.

All preparations are now complete for the great parade in New York city next Saturday. The Connecticut women are to meet under the banner of the State Association in Twelfth Street just west of Fifth Avenue about 3 o'clock. The procession is expected to reach this point at 2:30 p. m. and suffrage demonstra- tions are getting reputation for excel lent organization and punctuality, which IS not likely to be damaged on this oc- casion.
 On the west side of Twelfth Street also in Fifth Avenue the members of the Connecticut Mems League for Woman Suffrage who are intending to march in the parade will assemble at the head quarters of the New York Mems League. The women will disband at 57th street and 7th avenue in order to attend the mass meeting in Carnegie Hall. Last year the hall was so crowded that many of the Connecticut women were unable to obtain entrance. This year ten boxes have been secured for the women who wish to have seats retained beforehand.
 While the Connecticut women are not undertaking to present any kind of a float, neither color nor music will be lacking to their division. For the music the Wheeler and Wilson band of Bridge port has been secured. +...l
 Some changes have been made in the suffrage campaign and this week the campaigners are in Ansonia. They re- port great enthusiasm not only there but also in Norwich and New London which were the scene of their recent activities.
 The suffrage exhibits that Miss Emily Pierson now has for the propaganda work in the campaign towns, are suffi- cient to fill six large show windows-an automatic toy which shows the San Francisco woman placing her ballot in the ballot box and obtaining from the municipal government the due attention to the needs of her home-proper collec- tion of garbage, etc. The connection between the possession of the ballot and the care of the home is most obvious, and usually makes deep impression on the observer.

By Jinqo.u

The term'"By jingo" was many years old when it gave birth to the jingo. It was originally used as Il conjurer's ex- clamation, My jingo," and it appears in Motteux's translation of Rabelais published in 1894, where the French original is ''par Dieu.' Goldsmith also used it both in the Vicar of Wake field" and ''She Stoops to Conquer" !"
