Street dresses unquestionably make a
feature of the autumn fashions. This
one is exceedingly smart and so cut and
planned that it will be becoming to almost
every figure. There are long unbroken
lines at the front to give an effect of
height, yet the severity is mitigated by
the curved seams at the back and sides.
The closing may be made at the center
front with the edges meeting or slightly
to the left of the front with the edges
Tapped, but, in either case, it is finished
with high collar. In the picture, one
of the new crepe suitings is trimmed with
satin and the effect is very good one,
but this is a dress that will be much
liked for serge, for gabardine, for broad
cloth and for all materials of similar
weight. Later, it will be handsome for
velvet. There is an inverted plat at
each seam which extends to little above
knee depth and which provides graceful
freedom and fare. while the body portion
and the upper part of the skirt are plain.
For the medium size will be needed
yds. of material AZ in. wide, 6 yds. 36,
5R yds. a., with IL yds. of braid. The
skirt is 4 yds. wide at the lower edge.
The pattern No. 1881 is cut in sizes from

what that Is for. It is aimed at
Senator Lee NJ. Russell and its
fathers hope that this will do him
harm in his race. But the people
OF Oxford and Lafayette county
know who is behind such moves
as this. IL is the same, identi-

been after him all the time. To
say they are low and mean is
saying little. They will stoop to
anything. They have no time
for Brewer-no respect for him;
they hope, vainly hope to hurt
Senator Russell. There are a
few men in Oxford that continu-
ally harrass this man; they have
bounded him for years and each
and every one that is behind this
are no more the equal of Senator
Russell in morality, uprightness

than IS the meanest man in the
land the equal morally, intellect

Nelson's door. He had been dead more
Than TWO hours. Three automatic re-
volvers and some ammunition lay on
