there is considerable activity among

The construction OF this line and Its
connection iwth the telephone ex-
change is another step In the pro-

is being made by the residents Of the
rural sections Of scurry County
The extension Of telephone service
to the farm is valuable to the mer-

Most Of the dressmakers and most Of
the fashionable shops Of America have
held their autumn openings and have
shown the American public just what
they were able to get in the way OF inn
ported frocks from Paris. And 1t is a
very interesting showing.
Considering the fact that war has kept
Paris spellbound for two months. the
number Of imported models that have
reached this country is remarkably large.
and It is q tribute TO the perseverance
and ingenuity Of our American buyers.
Az to the beatty Of the clothes that
Paris had prepared for the autumn be-
fore war began, there is difference Of
opinion. 1t cannot be denied that the
fabrics used are far more beautiful than
fabrics have been for many a year past
And there are many beautiful features

newest French clothes that exploit the

The V-shaped neck line is almost uni

verdict for the defendant In "set off
plea.
The company had sued DR.. Mercer
for 1891 alleged to be due on the
purchase of certain property on Long
Island. DR. Mercer had agreed to buy
five lots, to cost $435, He paid $40 so
on the purchase. and later learning
that the property was not what 1t
had been represented to be. he de-
clined to make further payments.
Upon the evidence adduced by wit

only disallowed the claim of the com

DR.. Mercer gets what he paid into the
company.
Other similar cases are pending
and IL is likely that most of them
