Belt and silhouette,

The latest edlct is that the outline
of the fashionable dressed woman
shall be as nearly straight up and
down as may be possible, chest fiat,
no waist and as little hip as may be
at the sides. In agreement with this,
the belt is worn some four inches be-
low the waist and is so placed upon
the newest autumn coats. Many are
In patent leather. The belt is some
times lower at the back than in front,
sometimes the reverse. The former
position is more favorable to the
forward movement" of the lines Of
dress below the waist. Kid belts In
all the rich tones of Cordovan leather
are worn with gowns of any color, or
with coats in black, white or colored
cloth or broche. There never has
been greater freedom Of choice than
at present and the world Of fashion
is not niggardly in availng itself OF
this.

about four weeks after that drive to

house Of his pastor and said:

you think about it."

Have you courted herr"

Deacon, must l caution you again
about your profanity! Have you
spoken to her about marriage?"
Not a darned-I mean not q

Then, as gather from your words.
II you marry this widow it is selfish
sort Of marriage on your part"
why, I'd get good woman and
her property, and she'd get good

Such matches are made every day"
said the parson, "and regard each and
every one as an evil. Every marriage
should be based upon love. II you
should find yourself loving this wom-
an then 1t would be right and proper
to offer marriage. Unless this is the
case shall hope there will be no mar
riage."

me than a bump on a dead log"
And 1t is highly probable that the
widow Savage did some more think

and said to the pastor:

the good man, though there was . bit
Of doubt In his tones.
1t was two weeks later and the
widow was returning from the cav
mill, where she had been to order
some boards to repair her pig-pen.
She met Deacon Pennybone face to

And then, as the deacon was about

He turned to see a mastiff that was

didn't lose a second. He picked the
widow up and threw her over a picket
fence, and then sprang after her. The
mad animal came racing up and would
have made the jump had not big
club knocked him down and after
wards battered the lifa out of him.
After the marriage, which took
place month later. the deacon
asked:

feel that you loved me with all your

why, It was when you chucked me
over the fence!" she replied as she
gave him a kiss that lifted him OF

Bright Future For Tobacco.

Editor The Manning Times:
Dear Sir:-Will you allow me space
in your paper to mention few para
mount facts about tobacco.
l have spe3t about two weeks on the
different markets in North Carolina
since the South Carolina markets clos
ed. I must say that the prices are bet
ter than l ever saw them before for
all grades of the old belt tobacco. The
bright smile of Joy and satisfaction OF
we'll done seems to be the slogan for
every grower of the bright weed. [
have recently interviewed a good
many prominent tobacco men in regard
to the future for prices, etc. Every
Que seems to be very optimistic over
the outlook I think the farmers in
the bright belt OF eastern North Caro-
lima and South Carolina certainly will
realize high prices auother year The
crop in the old belt of North Caroliua
is hardly normal one and from what l
can gether, since getting here, the
Burley crop is the shortest in many
years, caused by long drought during
growing season. have learned from
talking with different people about the
situation that bright tobacco, such as
is grown in South Curolina that the
demand is getting greater each year.
I am told by good authority that Eng
land lacked about 100000 pounds OF
having enough to supply a trade in
China aioue this year. l have also
learned that good many of our con-
cerns r.. in America did not get any,

Wilson's.

TIE progressive citizens of the Will

notion the past summer that their
school house did nos fully measure ~
tn the requirements OF an up-to-date
communitv, so thev got busv and rails
ed S400 90 towards the building of q
new and commodious school house. By
raising that amount. they obtained
county aid 10 the sum of $4,000. They
die a good part of the work them
selves and as result they have built
one OF the handsomest and best equip
ped school buildings in the county.
There was not piece of timber on the
ground September the frst;now the fact
is that the new building has been COM
plered. painted both inside and out. and
the schml has bern running in the new
building at least one month. Where
is the community that can make bet
ter showing than that? This is the
sp.rit that should characterize every
community. What they have done.
others can do. Miss Lula May has
been their teacher fer the past two
years. and has now entered upon her
third year. Their success has been
largely due to the fact of having a
good teacher and sticking to her with
LOYALTY "a house divided against it
self cannot stand" If other commun-
tiles would only emulate those good
people of Wilson's, lay aside their diff
ferences, and all pull together, how
much better off the county would be.

natural conditions for growing bright
tobacco. certainly hope our farmers
will avail themselves OF this golden
opportunity and plant more and give 1t
better attention than in the past.
A word to the new people that may
be contemplating planting tobacco
next year. I will be back in Manning
again this spring by planting time. L
shall be delighted to help you solve any
problems you may have during growing
season, free of all charge.
A word about preparation OF plant
lands, kind of land TO grow your plants
on, etc. Pick you out place that has
medium moisture on the sunny side OF
a brarch or pond. Try not to hurn
land that is inclined TO be craw-fshy.
You can burn about $50 square yards
for four or FIVE acres Of tobacco. more
in proportion to amount of land you
want to : ant. Cover this plant land
with brush, wood and light wood and
burn thoroughly, then dig or pillow up,
take out all roots, ETC., rake of, lay OH
in small land with something that will
mark the ground. Mix yoar seed about
one and one-half to Two tablespoonfuls
OF seed to pint OF clean ashes and SOW
! oil
Put poles around the bed. tack small
strips across from pole to pole, about
four feet apart ard then stretch your
plant cloth over. I will have seed for
distribution in Manning at the proper
time. which I will mention through the
local of this paper later on.
Yours to serve.
