THE SPRING FASHIONS.
. Few Suggestions That Will Help
the Farm Woman to Dress Eco
nOmicalIy and Well.

The clothes this year require plenty
OF material. Combinations of serge
and taffeta are still used; with the
exception of t~affeta, however, the ma
terials are soft and pliable, depending
for their fullness on the large amount
of material, gathering or support from
beneath.
The Suits: have the same general
effect that they had last winter, in that
the skirt of the coat comes about a
foot below the waistline. Most of the
peplums, however, instead Of being
gathered at the belt. are plated, the
plaits being placed usually just back
Of the hip in an apparent bunch, Civ
ing the straight back and front effect.
This at first thought would seem to
be u-nbecOming, but really it makes thu
thin. look stouter and conceals the
stoutness of those of generous hips.
A good tabernacle suit is alWaysin
good taste, but for the person who
cannot afford the very hest tailor OF
does not i X to wear a suit over two
seasons, the wool suitings in mixtures
OF black and white, the serges or tat
fetas with the pronounced flare at the
hip, or the semi-tailored dress that
takes the place of dress and coat had
best be chosen. Gabardines are still
worn and are especially good for coun-
try people because they shed dust.
The collars are full and high, but doubt
less as warm weather the low
ones will be worn. Most of the coats
arc single-breasted, the sleeves sim
ply sewed in the old-fashioned way and
rather large at the wrists. The skirts
ale full and short with double and
treble rufies on some. Box plaits are
used again. Fur is not used on the
summer garments, but bands of tafeta
pr velvet seem to be popular. Some OF
the skirts are fitted around the waist.
but the majority of them are gathered
or plated into the band.
One-pieca dresses are still popular
the light wool, and silks, being rather
plain and haring. The light materials

CONVENTION IN
GOLOSBORO
THE BARACA-PHILATHEA SUNDAY
SCHOOL CLASSES TO MEET
APRIL 1870.
DR.. CHAPMAN TO ATTEND
H~CpdersOnyiIIe to be Represented in
Greatest Gathering of Organized
S. S. Classes i'm North Carolina.

The program is about completed for
the coming Observation-Disclosures conVen-
tion which meets in Goldsboro, April
27-30. This will probably be the
greatest convention Of organized Sun
dav school classes ever held in North
Carolina. The sBaraca-Philathea move
ment for several years held its con-
yentions on the free entertainment
Man. but when the number of dele
gates in attendance approached l,9oo
it was seen that there is no city inthe
state able to meet the strain, and now
I entertainments is, offered in private
homes at a dollar a day or at reduced
rates in hotels. Some of the strong
est Sunday school leaders 4of our
whole country have been secured.
Among the speakers from a distance
WGo have accepted invitations to take
part are DR.. J.. Wilbur Chapman,
world wide evangelist, DR.. !Chas. d.
Buila, superintendent Of the Wesley
Adult Bible Glass Department OF the
nj, e.. Church South and Miss Henrietta

WOIlO-WluG bd1 dCd-1 at 0AAOA'
MANY prominent leaders of social and
Sunday school work i'll North
! i'll take part, among these Delng MIS-
J T. Alderman, Henderson, proml-
nent social worker and teacher OF, the
oldest Philathea class in the South;
Hon. w. A. Devin, Oxford, judge OF the
Superior court; and a number Oh
others who are known throughout the
state for the part they have played III
her social and religious life.
The Baraca-Philathea movement IS
! UNIQUE in the Sunday school world.
Il is interdenominational but strives
to build up as thoroughly as possible
each denomination. 1t seeks no con-
troll and. exercises none. There are
nc obligatory dues; and it is rapidly
becoming more popular, even with
these who are interested in denom1na-
tiona1 work alone. It's growth is phe-
ncmenal. there being more than ll,OO0
Raraca, and Philathea classes repre-
senting nearly 100000 members.
Their are more in North Carolina than
in any other state in the Union, Tor II
is estimated that there are 65sOOO or
$4,000 members in this state in
than 1000 classes.
All Baraca and Phflathea classes,
city and county unions, are urged 10
send delegates to this coming great
convention. Sunday school workers,
regardless of what their relation to
| the Sunday school is are invited to be
present and help in the campaign to
but the Sunday schools of our state on
a more efficient basis. Correspond with

MY cow Has THE HOLLOW TAIL.

NY COW has got the hollow tail. Her
milk don't fill a one-quart pail, she
rrbs herself against a post and acts
like shed give up the ghost. | don't
see why she got this way; she gets
some shucks every day and now and
then we feed some bran, bout what
would fill a small tin can. Bill Smith
saws to give her corn, but that might
bring on hollow horn. Maybe straw
would meet her need, but | sold th&

It takes too much to keep them up!
No, Bill don't milk in a pint cup. But
Bill is just too awful nice; his COWS
don't never have no lice and yet he
dips them in coal tar, which cali go
irg much too far. It's nasty work TO
say the least. You'll never see me

this thing is thai my Gov may not see

GREATEST WOMAN IN HISTORY.

Who's the greatest woman in his.
tory?" was the query debated by Kan
sas school teachers recently. They
considered Joan of Arc, Queen Eliza
beth, Cornelia, Catherine of Russia,
Maria Theresa, Grace Darling, Flor
ence' Nightingale, Suan B. Anthony,
and half a hundred others. When they
came to deciding, all the names known
to fame We're ruled out. And to whom
do you suppose the judges awarded the
palm Here is the answer: 1.-THE wife
OF the farmer of moderate means who
does her own cooking, washing, iron
iEg, sewing brings up a family OF
boys and girls to be useful members
OF society and finds time for intellec-
tUal improvement."-Lutie E. Stearns.

are made full and fancy, long pointed
oVersklrts being especially popular.
The old-fashioned pipings, tiny ruffies
and plaitings, and velvet ribbons arr
used for edging the overskirts.
If you have a suit you wish to make
over you might dye it or rip, wash and
press it, make the skirt a little short
er, cutting it off from the top and gath
erlng the extra fullness into the waist.
Since combinations of check and plaid
goods are being used, you could have
a front panel of another color or use
a stripe or plaid for the whole skirt,
using the old skirts for bands and
for the skirt of the Jacket. Outside
pockets are much worn on the skirts.
The Waists are about the same as
those of last winter. The crepe de
chimes and crepes make beautiful, soft
waists for dressy wear, but there are
also very pretty patterns in the sum-
mer silks that could be used. The
palmer waists Of lawn, batiste, wolfe,
etc., are much trimmed with tatting or
tiny ~chocheted edging for collars and
cuffs. Large fancy repers, or collars
that come down owe the back, are
pretty and will freshen up many a
last years waist. Many Of the sleeves
to the waists have deep, pointed cuffs
reaching almost to the elbow.
As to hats, there are no two alike in
shape color or design. Bright colors
particularly shades of blue and old
rose, are much used for spring bats,
The small, close-ftting, high crown,
b~ell-shaped hat, trimmed with gayly
colored small flowers, or a single, large
one, as well as the small scooped eff
feet, are more popular for early
spring. The sailor shape is always
good, and the new spring sailor has a
rolling brim, and is trimmed with
bright ribbons, either in large bows
Or high wired effects.-Mrs. HUT in

Use of his name, but his friends will
Insist upon his becoming a candidate

Said Mr.. Britt: Judge Pritchard is
a man of great ability, of large expert
eDce in public affairs and a lifelong
Republican OF the William Mckinley
school. He is immensely popular with
ali classes and nc n doubts his win

fill, the presidential chair with great
credit to the country. He recently
presided over the board of arbitratorS
at Chicago to settle the dispute be-

anG SO demeaned himself as a member
OF that great body as to win the high

TRY It! SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CALOMEL
Starts Your Liver Without Maqina
You Sick and Can
Not SaliVate

Every druggist in town-your
druggist and eyerybody's druggist
has noticed a great falIing-off in
the sale of calomel. They all give
the same reason. Dodson's Liver
lone is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and peo-
pie know it, while Dodson.s Liver
Tone is perfectly safe and gives
better results said a prominent
local druggist. Dodson's Liver Tone
IS personally guaranteed by every
druggist who sells it. A large bot
tie costs so cents, and if it fails to
give easy relief in every case Of
liver sluggishness and constipa-
ton, you have only to ask for your
money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleas
an~t-tasting, purely vegetable rem
edy, harmless to both children and
adults. Take a spoonful at night
and wake up feeling fine: no bill
iousness, sick headache, acid stom-
ach or .eonstIpated bowels. It
doesn't grippe or cause inconvea-
fence all the next day like violent
calomel. Take a dose of calomel
today and tomorrow you will feel
weak, sick and nauseated. Don't
lose a days work! Take Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and feel fine,
full of vigor and ambition.
