Trade Conditions and Prospects.
From Dixie's Textile Trade Review.
Contrary to exportations generally
held by cotton mill men throughout the
South, the cotton goods market has re
mained practically at a standstill for a
month past. Indications of an early
'peace have as yet had no marked in
fluence in improving the tone of the
market as i-yards either prices or de
mand, but undoubtedly the feeling of
assurance prevalent last month that
the Southern mills are on the thresh
old of prosperous era,has been strength
ened by the opt ning of peace negotia
tions and the likelihood of their being
brought to a speedy and satisfactory
close.
One reason for the slackness of (he
market may be found In the fact that
during the month of July the large Job
i Linir houses of the North are. as a rule,
[stocking up from the mills, thus giving
an appreciable stimulus to trade, while,
on the other hand. August is more of a
retailer’s month, during which the small
dealers buy of the Jobbers, and the lat
ter ai» no longer making purchases
from the mills. This condition will, of
course, continue until the stock of goods
in Jobbers’ hands has been measurably
i depleted.

Proof Against Drowning;-An Au

Our ycuag friend Nat Wicker, of
Wicker if Pilcher, was never born to
be tfrovrnad. There Isn’t a cleverer
young gentleman In Augusta and be
has friends on every hand who delight
to know that he Is making a »uc;erj of
his business venture.
It is related of our young friend (ha*, j
not very long ago. he was out boailns I
with two other men.
Now, Mr. Wicker can’t swim any :
more than a rock. Thar*- was alarm,
sud plenty of it, to him, when the beat
turned over and the party waa dumped
into the water. The other men could
swim and struck but for the shore. Mr. ,
Wicker didn’t lose his presence of
mind. If he coiildn’t swim, he could
walk, he concluded. The hank wasn't j
to far away. He felt for the bottom, j
When he touched It. he kept his bead
and walked on the bottom shoreward,
arriving safe and sound on terra lirma
before the strong swimmers did.
A novel attache to one of the hand
somest houses on the Hill is a frog
who performs the very novel duty of
mosquito catcher. Regularly every af

lengthen, this fine specimen l of the rep

the walk and up the steps Into the
broad front gallery. There he awaits
the mosquitos, upon whom he has de
clared most deadly war. The ben: fits
derived from having this quern' servitor
around are undeniable, for while else
where I here are to be found the usual
»ummer ao ompsniment of gnats, mos
quitos and candle flics, there are here
absolutely none.

ispoke of It as an Infliction that had to

lof them was although not in every - as ,

'th'-nklnv of it." Tills followed by a
heavy sigh.
Then one 1» gan to tell how she rlls
illkfd the accommodations, or rather
lack of accommodation*, at tho sum

edly pood food to be had; another told
inf hew Impossible II was to find a de-
Islratilo hotel where they would take chit

fact that a summer vacation meant on

of repealed dressing six times or more

A Summer in Augusta.
“1 believe I had a nicer holiday than
any of you, and ( did not go away at
all. Jack was too busy to leave, and
it seemed positively sinful to let him
bear the heat and the fatigue lvoe
alone while I was away pleasuring. '• lr
tue is ils own reward, you know, and
I had mine.”
-Tell us about it” was chorused.
-Would you really like to hear, about
my novel summer? Well, to begin with,,
I did r.ot need any now clothes, us f
simply was going to stay at home, and
so I was not tired out tn the begin
ning, with shoping and flressmnkenrs.
The clothes of the summer h< fore, with
a very little altering, served every pur
pose beautifully. Then I decided the

The Bummer Crmp.
This ltd sine illr to tell of thr group

• d h< uc on the Hill back of th* lake,
j never le-rtnlttlng Ihcmnrlve* to enter
I Hi, town, and making tielieve th. y

I Their auppllca v ere brought them nnd]
cm ke.l by a negru man. who atrHlght
jened up the camp and h.-lped lo put up
the shelter* f,,r an occasional night
I r ut of doors. The hoy* lived on the

'.- Uih splendid appetltle* that they eat
; With relish plain bread and meat they
[would have scorned at iheir mothers'
velMppolnted tables. It did them ev
ery lilt a* much good aa an expensive
[trip to the mountains would have done.
1 They hid an occupation for rainy day*

himself to some special study aliout
which he fell a trifle uncertain. Rain
or shine, no matter what was going on.
two hour* every morning were devoted
to study. On unpleasant days th * study
hour* wore longer. The consequence
was that when the boys went up for
their fall examinations, they passed
them with great credit.
Everyone of them always speak of
that summer as being the most il»-
lllahtful they can remember. As th-v
| put it 'You see there was so much fun
on foot we did not get tired of study.
Then the study hours kept us from
being tired of play.
A Change of Occupation.
Perhaps after all the greatest rest lies
in occupation, provided the holiday oc
cupation Is entirely different In char
acter from that which (ills one’s days
the rest of the year. An experience,
last summer, of two young newspaper
women of New York might be Imitated
with profit by others, who could vary
the scheme of action to suit their own j
particular tastes. These two young
women wanted a long, quiet, unlnte- 1
rupted summer, far from the haunts
of newspapers, so they rented,' for 42
u month, a log cabin in .1 beautiful
hill region, which was furnished with
odds and ends from the studio of one
of them. The passage money from
Nev; York was supplied from the
amount saved from the summer ward
robe new clothes not being necessary
in the wilderness. As I,utter was only
Kl cunts a pound, and eggs ten cents
a dozen, 41 U week covered the living
expenses.
Two weeks were spent In gardening
amt two weeks of labor were put on
the house, the girls declaring the un
usual work easier than tramping the
streets all day and writing half the
night, doubly easy that they had en
