r THERE Is a sigh in the heart OF
/ most women for the passing sum-
mer, the lure Of the milliner's win.
d0ws just now will make them forget
It. The cool September Is greeted b.:
cheerful and gracious hats that reflect
and welcome the glorious days Of au-
tumn. Hats seem always anxious to
please--and always they succeed. for
It Is their privilege to present some
thing new each season, and that Is
what the restless sex is always look
ing for.
Here are f1ve hats. typical Of differ
ent styles, that reveal something Of
the new modes. The group begins
with dress Int at the upper left. This

stripes and figures. White and solid
cOlors in suitable cOttOns, ric-rac and
other braids, pearl buttons with
few tucks in the material, account for
the decorations used sparingly on gar
ments which are intended to be Sim
pie.
1t would seem that there Is small
chance for much variety Of design IN
frocks that employ SO few kinds OF
material, but it turns out to be other
wise. There are so many patterns In
the materials used, SO great variety In
color and so many color combinations
that Dever-ending succession Of de-
signs are produced. Besides, design
ers seem endlessly ingenious In the
shaping Of collars, belts, pockets, and
in the placing Of such simple finishing
touches as buttons or the management
of fastenings. A regulation apron
dress is presented In the picture; II
is striped percale in the slip-on style
and the simplest design. but Is typical
of garments Of this kind.

~ ALL the descriptive names
~ which manufacturers have given
to frocks and aprons for house
work, that Of "apron-dress" is the most
fitting. 1t describes exactly the uses
to which these garments are put, for
they serve both as. dresses and as
aprons. A great deal Of attention Is
given to designing them and they are
among the most salable Of all things
ready-made. Therefore manufacture
ers see to it that their lines are good,
their colors pleasing. and the mate
rails used In them sturdy and practi-
cal.
The apron dresses for fall show no
new departures in style, but their pro-
ducers are giving more attention to
at and to attractive finishing
than ever. The fabrics used are
the ones we are familiar with
fast-color percales in stripes, plaids
and fancy patterns, checked and plaid
ginghams and solid colors in ging-
hams and chambrays. In the percales
there are dark or light grounds with

Judging from reports from druggist,
who are constantly in direct touch with

has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healn,

soon realized. 1t stands the highest 70,
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one Of til.
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the Al;
tonshing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re
jected is because kidney trouble is 70
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose appica
tions are declined do not even suspec.
that they have the disease.
Dr.. kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles OF two sizes,
medium and large. However if you wish
first to test this great preparation send

Captain W. NJ. Dotson, veteran

crate wars, died here last night at
the residence of his daughter-in-
law, Mrs. Kate Dotson. Captain
Dotson was born at Winchester,

practically his entire life in Missis-
sippi. He was a cabin boy on the
frigate Mississippi during the war
with Mexico in .1847, when that
vessel participated in the siege of
Vera Cruz. During the Civil war
he served in the wenty-eighth Ar
kansas. but was later transferred to
the 48th Mississippi. where he at
tanned the rank of captain. Cap
tain Dotson claimed to be the only
man living who saw the laying of
the corner stone of the old capital
at jackson. He was somewhat
prominent IN political affairs before
the war between the states. served
as private secretary to Governor
Foote and was connected with other
state departments about that time.

OF Interest to Bigbee Fork
People

A drainage canal contemplated
to reclaim large areas of land lying
in Monroe county in the fork of
Town creek and Bigbee river has
been authorized under a drainage
law passed by the Legislature of
1920. The operation of this law
seems to visit injustice on certain
owners of land in the territory to
be drained. in that defective adj
vertising did not carry sufficient
notification to them.
A notice posted upon the bill
boards at the court houses of the
counties through which the canal is
to pass. setting forth descriptions
of the lands to be traversed, we
understand. is deemed sufficient
notice under the law to the owners,
and unless they make protest and
show that the drainage would not
be of benefit within a certain time,
such lands will go in under the right
of eminent domain and the owners
be assessed with the prorata cost
and their lands will be pledged as
security for payment.
We are informed that lands of
various parties living in Bigbee
Fork are included in the drainage
district and that the posting of
same is now on the bill board at
the county court house.
We don't know whether we are
rendering any service or not, but it
occurs to Us that it might pay par
ties owning lands in that territory
TO investigate and put themselves
in position to make legal protest
against including their lands if
they should so desire.

SUPERVISOR HARMON
THINKS DIFFERENTLY
Recommends Officials Should Re
bate Salaries
Editor Aberdeen Weekly:

Editor Aberdeen Weekly:
| read an interesting article by
Judge Dinkins, of Senatobia. in
your paper.
| beg to differ with him relative
to the salary law. | infer from the
article that all state. county and
district officers are justifiable in
taking what the new salary law
permits regardless of changed coin
ditions. As to the legality there Is
no doubt that il is right. Let's see.
When the salary law was passed III
1920. we were in the midst of the
World war Not one of the 1872 In the
Legislature was prophet enough to
foretell how and when the war would
end. The flood gates at Washing
like water down stream; it was cost
ing law makers five to eight dollars
day to stay in Jackson; labor was
from five to ten dollars per day;
bale of cotton would bring from
$3.50 to 5000; now labor is down to
VI " - pCi 0dfs DdiC "a SOltOlI
brings S35 to $50; the price of al
most everything has declined; still
the salary law goes on just the
same. Is it just. is it right? 1t
appeals very sensible to me that
any state. county or district officer
can render his service for % per
cent less now than when the salary
law was enacted. 1t was because
of the changed conditions since
the salary law was passed that
caused me to publicly announce
on the first Monday in February
that | was willing to contribute
$500 of my salary to curtail county
expenses. 1t was no political
scheme, as am no candidate for
rejection.
There was no response to my prop
osition. On the other hand | was
severely criticised. The statement
was made in good faith. | believe
under present conditions, it is the
duty of all officeholders to help re-
lieve the burden of taxation, even
if we should have to draw on our
own purse strings. Ny conscience
was clear back in February and the
light has not abated. so we will
just let her go.
Respectfully.
J. II. Harmon.
