SHORTER CHAPEL NOTES.

Rev. Robert L. Pope, 3. D., Pastor.
The Rev. John A. Greggs, d. D.,
president of Edward Waters College,
Jacksonville, Fla, brought our congre-
CATION eloquent and helpful messages
last Sunday, both morning and eve
ming, and splendid crowds flocked to
hear him. Our loss was that his stay
in Denver was too limited to deliver
his illustrated lecture on 1.-THE New
South" Monday evening.
Mr.. VIM. G. Campbell, Miss Ailene
Campbell, Mesdames Brookins and
Fluellen were received into the fellow
ship of the church.
The ushers furnished us a long list
of visitors who worshipped with us
last Sunday but the list is misplaced
at the time of this writing.
One among the most praiseworthy
traits in the character of Shorter
Chapel is the disposition on the part
OF its members to weep with those
who weep and to rejoice with those
who do rejoice.
During the last few days our church
has given three surprise parties and
one reception. The surprises were to
Mrs. Unity Hall, who after having
given the community twenty-five
years of genuine service, left Satur-
day evening for Chicago, her future
home; Mrs. Rena Colston, 1927 Down
ing, who lost much of her household
goods through recent fire, and to
Brother and Sister Garrett Harris,
2516 Washington, who have been in
poor health for several months. The
beautiful reception was rendered Mrs.
Jennie (Hicks) LeNoir, our chorister,
who left the city Wednesday evening
for Nashville, Tenn, where she will
begin work as member of "The Fisk
Jubilee Singers"
Mrs. r. l.. Pope and her mother,
Mrs. Elizabeth Crane, left Tuesday
over the Burlington for Pensacola,
Fla. Mrs. Crane grew constantly
weaker and her physician advised a
change of location. We shall follow
her with our prayers.

DAY NO1 DISTANT
 WHEN COTTON RE CONSUMED IN |. 5.
Col. Harvie Jordan Relieves Within 20 Years American
 Mills Take Crop.

Norfolk, Va, Dec. 12.-Practically the whole of the great American cot ton crop will be converted into the finished fabric in American mills twenty years from now if the present annual ratio of increase continues, de- clared Col. Harvie Jordon, president of the Southern Cotton Growers as- sociation, today in an address before the Southern Commercial congress. If this prediction should be fulfilled, he said, the ultimate annual value of each crop would reach the enormous total of $5,000,00O,0
 "The South now occupies the lead ing position in cotton mill consumption throughout the world," said Colonel Jordon. Ut consumes annually more lint cotton than all of the textile mills of Great Britain, more than all those of New England and the bal ance of the United States combined and more than all the combined countries of Europe" A few years ago, he asserted, 75 per cent of the raw cotton had to be exported while now foreign mills under peace condi- tions could not expect more than 50 per cent.
 Pointing out that it was the country or section which manufactures the raw material into the finished fa- brio that secures the maximum of value from such product, Colonel Jor- don declared that the present medium yield of the South's cotton crop, sold for it's full value for the first time since the civil war, would bring grow CTS $1,250,OOO,OO He said present high prices of the staple was due largely to the Federal Reserve bank ing system and the cotton futures

HOLIDAY RUSH
 IN FULL SWING
 AT POS1OFFICE
y'lristmas Packages Should Be Mailed Now to Insure
 Delivery on Time.

Have you mailed your Christmas parcels or your Christmas letters yet?
 Or are you postponing that duty, until the latest possible date, to add to the4Ere6ts crush of business to be l,ardled by the postoffice clerks and carriers, and to be disappointed when you learn, perhaps, that the parcel or letter had been delivered fl'e day after Christmas?
 There are some folk here, as there are elsewhere, who are already for
 d sg their Christmas parcels and letters. Quite lot of this business has already been handled at the Pine Bluff postoffice, some of it inbound, and much of it bound from this city 1o destinations near or far. But in all likelihood, the usual 90 to 95 per cont. of the Christmas business will be thrust upon the postoffice depart ment in the ten days Immediately be- fore Christmas, and the greatest bulk in the three days or four days just ahead of that great holiday.
 Postmaster John Wilbourn yester- day stated that every arrangement has been perfected for the local post office to handle whatever bulk of business comes to it. Extra clerks and carriers will be employed, as may be necessary, and especially will there be need for considerable in- crease in the force handling the ra~cals post mail. MT. Wilbourne is- sued also the following formal state ment, which includes instructions as

FROM whence come all the Paisley
 shawlsf Are they Paisley or has A some clever manufacturer put forth a material initiating the essen- tiaily Paisley colors and designs? It would hardly seem that the hidden away treasures would be sufficient in number to account for the very general display and the prevalence ot the ma teriai, yet the colors a1e so soft and beautifully blended, the fabric gives such evidences of the peculiar quality which we know as belonging to these sha wis that it is little difficult to think ot it as new product of the loom, but whatever the source, how ever the material is obtained, it evi- dently has an established vogue.
 The various autumn sporting events are matters satorial and recent meet ings have shown a great many gowns and hats both trimmed with shawl motifs. A notable one worn by leading society woman was evidently made from the genuine India shawl, not even the Paisley could have re- suited in such wonderful colors and effects The gown was in the Moyen Age style and the bodice was made entirely of the shawl. The sleeves. the narrow belt and the skirt were of black chiffon velvet and a very narrow fringe edged the skirt. In the sides of the skirts were pockets of black edged with the shawl material. The costume was an exquisite one, the color effect real delight. Ii the India shawls or Paisley shawls can be utilized with such result, they are welcome. As finishing touch there was worn turban ot greenish blue velvet trimmed with a band of India embroidery touched with gold. and a very long straight scarf of sable was worn over the shoulders. The colors of the India shawls and os the Paisley which initiate them. are re ally marvellous. They are blended as only the East can think of blending tones and they give result that is so rich and exquisite that they can be most successfully used.
 A great many of the treasures that are now being cut up have been kept in lavender and camphor for many years but the present generation knows nothing of reverence. What it wants IL ldACS, WllAt tt C0ts OSuA&C At SCtZCS upon. The young wife who deeply wounded her new mother-in-law by cutting priceless lace into strips to trim dancing gown has great many prototypes. In fact there are few ct the mothers-in-law left who wcull be shocked, vet it seems a pity to cut and to mutilate thing so beautiful as the real India shawls or to hack lace into bits when the manufacture meant 50 many hours of patien,e and of tedious toll.
 Fur trimmings were established caily in the season. Sporting events have only emphasized their use and fur trimmed suits are shown on some. shawl collars on others, others again show the fur used with greater reser- vation and in less quantity. On almost every gown is found touch of em- broidcry, whether of silk CT of wool or cf beads. One oi the novelties that fingers in the niud is interesting. cellar end cuff sets of flannel or broad

Postmaster's Suggestions.

IVStduUSUAb cuSBtStAUuSs
 "In anticipation of the heaviest Christmas holiday business in the his- tory of the Pine Bluff postoffice the executive force is preparing to take care of its patrons in the most satis- factory manner possible.
 By cooperating with us the pub lie will not only tighten our burdens The following suggestions are pub liehed for the benefit of the public generally:
 Mail parcel post matter early in order to avoid the rush. Parceis do not travel as fast as letter mail and the sender should keep this fact in mind and allow for some delay in transit due to possible conjestion.
 "All parcels must be securely packed, wrapped, and plainly ad- dressed They must bear name and address of sender. Remember that a street and number does not suffice for a return card.
 "Breakable or fragile matter must be crated in order to prevent its being crushed in transit.
 Valuable parcels should always be insurel. This will indemnify the sender in case of loss or wrong de- livery. Preserve all receipts issued on insured matter and write the rame and address of address on the back thereof immediately after it is given you.
 Parcels may bear the words, Not to be opened until Christmas or pimi- lar inscriptions. Letters or communi- cations are not permissible in pack ages, but card of Christmas greet ings may be enclosed.
 Tt Is the desire of the postoffice force to make the service as conven- tent as possible for our patrons. In turn the public is requested to exer- else as much patience as they can in being waited on at the various win dows. Just keep in mind that no one will be neglected If 1t Is in our power to prevent It."

WuMAN TELLS DETAILS
 VILLAS ATROCITIES
Mrs. Barnett Dannis Writes From Chi huahua City of Outrages by
 Bandits.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 11.-Details of Villas actions while he was in con- trol of Chihuahua City were recited in letter from Mrs. Barnett Dannis, whose husband is the proprietor of a general merchandise store. The let ter asserts that Villa was given one million pesos after he had threatened to burn the city. Villa also made threats to relieve all Americans in Mexico of all their property and valu- ables. %~
 "Three times I went to Villas head quarters and asked him personally not to disturb our household effects," Mrs. Dannis wrote. "Villa treated me with utter contempt. He said everything the Americans possessed would be taken and that orders had been issued to the men that what could not be taken should be destroyed.
 "We stayed in hiding four days, during which time Villa took possess ion of property valued at $400,000, and burned all other property belong ing to Americans that he could dis cover. Chinamenl were killed by scores." .,s zse

cloth in mat .e, light blue, pink, rose, purple, corn flower blue and the like, beaded or embroidered in colored worsted. These big collars are making
 feature of the seasons dresses. They are very smart and they are very gen. orally becoming. Usually, they are accompanied by deep cuffs and the embroidery most liked is the semi oriental style which consists of small conventional figures arranged to form a border or corners and the work is done with such heavy thread that it fills up with rapidity. It would be easy to make set and the wearing would completely transform a plain gown into handsome one.
 This is season of embroideries and of rich effects and of splendor of one ssrt or another. Among the later output is a great deal of jet embroidery. We are searching every known period and every known country for suggcs- tiens this season. Spain is yielding her quota. To great extent it may be modern Spain but the Spain of the more primitive time also serves pur- rose and the most wonder full combina- tions of color ard brilliant effects meet one at every turn. It is little unjust to say that we reflect any period in this year of nineteen sixteen. We cull from this source and from that, we seize upon any suggestion and make it our own, we modify, we change and We adapt, and, truly when such process has been undergone the fashions may safely be said to be our own. Jet embroideries are having great vogue for the handsomer one piece dresses. A beautiful gown of smoke grey velvet is made rich with the jet and jet is employed as it has not been for many years. It is spon- sored by the house of Paquin and whatever Paquin puts forth will surely be artisticaly used. As has been stated in previous letters, each de- signer of repute is apt to exploit some fancy of his or her own and Paquin is ardently urging jet.
 Whether the source is Spanish or more truly Oriental, there is a great tendency toward the use of yellows and of rich blues and of the colors that seem to belong to the semi-oriental countr ies. A very charming afternoon gown is, for example, made with a long waisted straight hanging corsage of black satin embi oidcred in big, long stitches with mustard .colored silk, and the skirt that is joined to it is of mus tard colored cloth laid in plaits. A smart costume of coral .colored cloth shows the entire corsage stitched to form an all-over design in blue silk. A gown of black chiffon velvet is elaborately trimmed with bright green velvet and embroidered with tinsel in coppery shade. A smoke grey velvet is made rich and beautiful with em. broidery in dull gold, and so the story goes. It is scason of color and of metal threads and ot jet and of beads and ot all that sparkles and glitters. If only the effects are used with reserve and are not O. erdone we shall see a season of real beauty.
 Materials are combined most inter. estingly. From the house of CaIiot comes three-piece costume of black serge combined with old blue vclvet,

that is most effective. The skirt and the jacket are of the black serge, the Russian blouse is of the blue velvet with sleeves of black serge and the seams on each side of the front of the skirt are piped with old blue. The skirt is finished with a wide hem machine stitched with old blue silk in repeated rows and the jacket shovs long points of old blue velvet both at the front and back that are edged with rabbit skin. It is beautiful costume, essentially gentlewoman's costume and it gives evidence of tho way in which rich color effects can bs obtained without in the least sug. gesting anything that is gariah e
 Not alone are materials combinedj material is combined with fur. "A very smart afternoon costume is, tor example, of dark green velvet and mole skin. The narrow panels of the skirt are joined to still narrower panels of the fur, there is a sleeveless blouse of the fur that is draped over a corsage of velvet and the elbow sleeves are edged with bands of fur: Fur is cut and handled and treated exactly as is cloth. It is not confined to street use, it is worn within doors. The costume referred to is gown designed to be worn beneath top coat if the day is cold or with a fur scarf if the day is mild. A very beau. tiful visiting costume combines sklre ot black velvet with a draped jackee cf white miniver fur. This jacket l: full at the sides and draped and treated as would be the most pliable cloth or velvet. It makes a very beautiful effect with the full velvet skirt and very handsome oostume. but must, of course, be worn over blouse of light weight.
 Velvet is to be extensively worn fos gowns and for coats and it is combined with almost every known material: The fur already mentioned is beautiful in contrast, but so alec is Ceorgettc crepe and it would be impossible to find two more widely different, wh.e the silks and satins all are good in contrast and velvet also makes good effect in combination with broadclotni withserge and with velouraal of whicp are favorite wool fabrics.
