Evans Show Windows.

We wish to call attention to the
L. NJ. Evans Cos show windows.
An artistic picture greets the eye
when one looks in either window of
the Dry Goods Department Of the
store.
The first, shepherds are seen watch
ing their fiocks by night. The rough
country, a stream, the starry night,
the flock of sheep and the shepherds
are all realistically shown.
In the other window a snow storm
and a church at Christmas time
makes you feel like you are north of
fifty three.
This work Of Misses Daniel, Benson
and Jones connected with the l.. M.
Evans col rves special mention.

strap.

Silk braided cord is very popular
tied around low wastline on fur
coats, as we'll as on silk dresses.
A new form Of knickers was NO.
on the Avenue during the week. The
wearer, a woman Of middle age, CON-
pleted her costume with wool hose
and brogues. The skirt Of her cos
tune of tan wool material, was
slached on either side three narrow
tabs connecting the back with the
front. Underneath the skirt was
pair Of rather full knickers with
tight cuff just below the knee, made
Of the same material.
o
Capes are worn by many smartly
gowned women.
Fuchsia colored gowns are the ex-
ception rather than the rule every
where.
Metal girdles for fur coats and for
dresses of all types are on the in
crease.
Drop earrings are being worn to a
considerable extent by women and
girls Of all ages and types, for street
IS well as evening.
Colonial slippers, with their tongues
Of American broadtail, have a strip
of the fur outlining the vamp.
Spats in high colors matching the
suit with which they are worn, are
making their appearance.
s. .
Pearl necklaces are still in the
foreground despite the vogue for
sautoirs, cordliers and neckchains.

CHERAW
Near the Confederate Monument In
the family enclosure Is the grave OF
ROBERT KENDALL

He came to Cheraw from near
wadesboro and was prominent mer-
chant He was Mayor OF Cheraw IN
1858 at the time the town hall was
built. While the building was In
coJrse Of construction a tornado
came and blew It down, filing Second
street between where the hall now Is
and the Cheraw Hardware store, with
the debris. It was during his term
AZ Mayor that the Carolina Central
Railroad was built. This road Is now
the seaboard from Wilmington to
Charlotte. The railroad people made
a proposition to come by Cheraw II
30 much money should be subscribed
The Mayor turned the proposition
down without cvcr submitting 1t to
the Council, consequently the road
went via Hamlet, Rockingham and
wsdebsoro and virtually dug a ditch
AZ ound Cheraw, cutting OF its most
rro.rable trade. If the road had come
via Cheraw the town would probably
be as large as Charlotte by this time.

The Christmastide is drawing near,
When parcel post looms high,
The clerks and postmen plead with yor
MAIL EARLY" is their cry.
OF course you want your friends to gel
Their gifts by Christmas day,
And Uncle Sam will back you up
If you mail them right away.
But il you keep on waiting
Until the last few days,
Therell be congestion in the mails
And terrible delays.
Just think how disappointed
The kiddies all would be,
If your presents came too late
To hang on the Christmas tree.
Your gifts need not be opened
If paster you will use;
Don't open until Christmas"
Is a seal that you should choose.
I wonder if you realize
The hardships of the clerks,
If you neglect to mail THIS WEEK,
And thus your duty shirk.
And picture the poor postmen
Laden down with shoulders lame;
For altho tbs Merry Christmas"
They must all work just the same
So remember, friends, MAIL EARLY
If your spread the Christmas cheer
MAIL EARLY, and MAIL OFTEN
And delays you need not fear.
