Definition OF Suede.

This name, given to kind OF I'M
dressed kid leather, Is simply the
French word for Sweden" The vel
vet finish is supposed to have originate
Ell In Sweden and it was applied at
FIRST to kid and not to calfskin. The
process of making 1t involves bufting
on an emery wheel the flesh side Of
the leather, so as TO produce SORT
of nap or ye'vety surface. Some max.
ers of leather adopt a different proc.
ess, buffing or securing off the grain
side of the leather to produce the nap.

Josh Billings.

The humorist whose pen-name was
"Josh Billings" was Henry Wheeler
Shaw. He lived from 1915 to 1885.
He turned off many shrewd sayings,
bits of quaint philosophy and pointed.
jokes, but they were rather damaged
by the laboriously bad spelling In
which they were written. This style
Of humorous writing, quite popular In
the United States half a century ago
has about gone out Of vogue. Today
Josh Billings is little more than a
name.

STREET PAVING UNDER WA

The work Of paving South Main
street was begun Monday morning,
the city taking up all iron pipes
connecting with the water main to
replace with lead pipes, This is
done because the lead pipes will not
rust out and the iron pipes would
have to be repaired, which would
necessitate the tearing up of the
street.
Mr.. John Thompson, Jr., Of Nash
vile, has the contract for the paw
ing. The work is to be completed
by August 1 Of this year.
The paving project includes Main
street, Maple street and Liberty

A letter informing him that he had
been left $4,000 by an uncle In New

premature death Of house-painter in

the time and so astounded was he that
he fell fortunately without sustaining
serious injury.
