NEW NETHERs.

The Kind Of Stockings That Go With
Fall Shoes.
Whoever said that simple footwear
was coming back into. fashion was
much mistaken. To be sure, certain
styles of "fancy" shoes remarked
down 1ast winter, but other. .stX1es quite
as elaborate took their place, ,faffd, as
for stockings, never before have they
been so varied and so far from plain
or simple.
There is some thought that cotton
stockings, colored ones at that, may be
worn, for the price of silk stockings is
soaring by the hour. But just at the
moment silk stockings are made in
hundreds Of patterns.
Stripes form the most prominent
stocking decoration or motive. Some
times they are up and down stripes,
sometimes stripes running around;
sometimes they extend the whole
length Of the stocking, sometimes only
halfway down or halfway up.
There are checked stockings, too,
and plaid ones. and there are stock
ings with odd and irregular designs.
Then, too, regular clocking at the
ankles, in colors or black on white, is
q prominent feature of the summer
stockings. Clocks are especially smart
for wear with sport shoes, and they
add to the effectiveness Of low shoes
worn with short skirts.
One black and white combination
shows half inch stripes extending from
the toe to the calf, ending there In ar
rowheads. Another shows panel of
stripes extending the full length Of the
stocking, about four inches across the
front.
One Of the newer sorts Of evening
stockings show beaded embroidery.
This is in line with the vogue for bead
ed embroidery and sequins and span
gles that is so strong for evening
frocks.
Inserts Of real lace, too, in fine silk
stockings are used for evening. And
another evening idea is a white silk
stocking painted with flowers to
match a painted kid slipper. This, Of
course, is SO unusual that It may al;
most be considered freak style. But
it is interesting and is mentioned for
what It is worth.

Free-Hinnant.

A quiet home wedding of interest
occurred yesterday Wednesday, af-
ternoon at five o'clock, when Miss
Josephine Free became the bride of
Mr.. H. Lawrence Hinnant. The mar
riage took place at the home of Mr..
B. F. Free, on Bridge street, Rev.
w. R. Mcmillan, the brides pastor,
performing the ceremony. Only the
immediate relatives were present.
After the ceremony, Mr.. and Mrs.
Hinnant left for few days visit to
Augusta. They are expected to re-
turn to the city Sunday.
The bride is daughter of the late
Mr.. G.. B. Free, and is most charm
ing young lady who enjoys the friend
ship and love of a large circle of
friends in the city and county. Mr.
Hinnant is one of the city's promi-
nent young men. He is assistant
postmaster, a member of city council,
and a past chancellor in the local K.
of P. lodge. His friends are number
ed by the scores. The many friends
of this popular young couple wish
them mighty we'll.

Temperature Takes a Tumble.

The first real touch of winter ar
rived in town last Friday morning,
when the temperature suddenly tum-
bled to a point that flirts with frosty
mornings. The result was the call
ing in of comforting and friendly
blankets in numerous households.
More blankets were yet to be need
ed, however, for the mercury did not
stop. 1t kept on falling.
The present cold snap is probably
the tail end of a nationwide fall in
temperature In the vicinity of Ok
lahoma mercury went down to twen-
ty-nine degrees. The fall in tenn
perature is accompanied by a brisk
wind, which is probably the forerun-
ner of "gale," or something akin
to a gale.

tablish a National Farm Loan asso-

a complete organization will be form
ed, and will be prepared to receive
names of farmers who wish to Sc
cure loans through the rural credits
system, which proposes to lend the
farmers money in sums of not less
than $4,000 and not more than S1O,-

five years, and not more, than 40

readiness to put out such loans.

Our SubscribtiOn Price.

The Herald has not had a great
deal to say about the price of the
paper. We don't like to talk about
ourselves so much, but we are con-
fronting such serious situation that
we feel our subscribers ought to
know of it. When we say we are
confronting a crisis, we do not mean
merely this newspaper, but all news
papers that look to their subscrip-
tions for revenue The Herald has
been very fortunate so far in being
far-sighted enough to purchase news
paper when the price was low, but
that supply has been exhausted, and
print paper is now worth, or was
worth on September 27th, 6 IL
cents per pound, or $3.50 a ton. AS
recent as last spring we purchased
paper at $55 per ton. You can see
the enormous advance. And this ad-
vance is on the paper that is used
most, and therefore, the loss falls
the more heavily. Now, a sheet OF
paper large enough to print an eight
page, six column paper, similar to
The Herald, on weighs just one
tenth of pound, and, therefore, costs
just little less than three-fourths
of a cent. The former cost was just
a little more than one-fourth cent per
sheet. 1t is now costing us approx
imately one-half cent a week increase
on each Herald printed. In other
words it costs us 26 cents a
year more now to send you The
Herald than it cost us eight months
ago. And the end is not yet. Our
paper houses inform us they expect
newspaper to be worth ten cents a
pound before the first of the year.
The increase mentioned is on the
printing paper alone. Ink has ad-
vanced as much as paper.
We do not want to bore our read
ers with a lot of figures, but we do
wish to impress upon them that we
are losing money enormously on sub
scriptions at $3.50 year. 1t is alb
solutely necessary for us, in order to
make ends meet, to cut off every pos
sible loss. We cannot afford to take
any chances on loss by subscribers
failing to pay us. Every paper that
credits subscribers has a large loss
in this way. By cutting off every
subscriber not paid in advance, we
will be eliminating a large source of

DONE The only fire in the house at
the time was in the kitchen, although
the portion of the roof where the
fire was first seen was some distance
from the stove chimney. A ladder
was secured and bucket brigade
was formed, and a quick finish was
made to the fire, which was fortu-
nate, as the wind was blowing rather
briskly, and other houses would prob
ably have caught. No damage was
done to the furniture, and only
