Painful Injury.

Mrs. Z. j. Hubbard suffered a
painful injury last week, While in
the attic she grew dizzy and fell,
striking her right arm against the
joist breaking bone just above the
wrist. Her hand is still badly
swollen and bruised but we trust it
will soon be all right again

METHODIST

Sunday was another great daJ
with us, we had l99 in S. S. and
counting Dr.. Linn there were just
200 present. The Bible Glass was
at high tile. 43 men present
and other classes were largely at
tended. Then following the S. S.
large audience gathered for the
morning worship. The male quar-
tette rendered one of lis choicest
selections: When the Mlst'S la We
Rolled away" and it was as fine a
selection as the men have offered.
Then DR.. Linn preached an hour on
the 23d Psalm. and he gave us a
MESSAGE that we seldom hear in a
town of this size. | am sure the
message will be long remem bered
by those who heard it, The people
here are proud Of DR., Linn, and
well might they be. for he is not
an ordinary man, by any means.
He occupies a prominent place in
the educational world, and if he
lives he is not thro growing; he will
reach a larger field than that he
occupies at present
Next Sunday morning | want to
continue the theme started two
Sundays ago, and il it is nice day.
I hope there may be large con-
ereeation at the IN ,rning worship

Two Elements That Mark the
New Fashions That Come
From Paris.
DAY OF THE TALL WOMAN
She is NO Longer Compelled to Wear
the Extremely Abbreviated Skirt
Of the Last Three Years
Evening Gowns Have
Dignity.

New York.-Any observant person
glaDcing over the masses of women
gathered in the large centers would
not say that there was any lack of
new autumn dressing. Hundreds of
new gowns were worn, and winter hats
made their appearance in mid-Septem-
Der, bu& the burden of the dressmak-
erS' plaint was that these models were,
as rule, bought from the shops at
reasonable prices and that the expen-
sive gowns which cost them such an
amazing sum of money were neglected.
The early autumn was perplexing
in regard to fashions. No expert who
saw behind the scenes can deny it. If
America had not been peculiarly pros
porous, if the stock market had not
been turning men into millionaires
with a rapidity that took the breath
away, the situation would have been
tragic to the importers.
You see, the prices in Paris have
never reached such a height in the
history of women's clothes. That's
big statement, but on reading the
itemized bills that were made by the
women of Europe during the first and
