 COTTON CONTINUES

Although the New York and New Orleans markets were closed today in observance of Columbus day, the Liverpool market closed strong at an advance, and on the local market new high records were again made. Aver age receipts were bringing 16 3-4 cents, with 1880 to 1885 being paid in a few instances. Receipts are gradually lessening and several farm CTS have already reported that they have marketed their last bale.
 Cottonseed on the local market is steady and unchanged today at $45 pc rton.

He gave a hopeless glance upward
 Directly above him a runaway aero plane was in rapid descent. There remained for him but one resource. He was standing upon a manhole cover. Quickly seizing it, he lifted the lid, jumped into the hole-and was run over by subway train!-Ex.

Market eggs in Il standard egg case.
Never haul to town over rough roads

You will have larger number of

In keeping eggs, provide dry, cool.

Irish Linen Sets.

Among the newest temptations
to buy at the counter where the
table linens are sold are the
luncheon napkins made especial
ly to go with Irish linen lunch
con sets. Many IL hostess has
been puzzled to know just what
form of napkin to use with the
Irish linen sets. Madeira nap
kins, though d,,inty, are hardly in
keeping, and the conventional
dannlsk napkins are no more so.
But now we find the solution in
the form of linen squares, edged
about by an Irish lace picot.
Many of them are simply this
and no more. Others are decOrat-
ed with an ornate monogram or
conventional design ut one of the
corners. While these may be
bought ut a shop for something
like So or 50 a dozen, they can
be very simply and easily made
Mt home; for the merest novice
can learn how to make a picot
Or Armenian edge; and that same
novice can quite simply roll it
on linen squares of correct lunch
napkin size.
