A DAY OF ACCIDENTS.
Last Friday was a day of *c :i
--dents.
The result waR one man killed, one
with a leg brok< n and an Ah r wi h
an arm broken.
While driving a epitited h rss
Mr. J. L. Hooten was kicked below
the knee of the light leg and the
bone broken. The at ci lent hap
pened in front of Mr. R. T. Watkin*
dwelling on Third street. Friends
hastened to h : s assistence and ! •
was carried back to the livery stable
where the broken limb was set by
Dr. Ellis. The wound is h severe
one and the community at large ex
tend their sympathies.
Dunng the day while Mr, JJ.
Kelley, the conttactor tor J, R. Car
michael's largo carriage repository,
wes doing some finishing work in
the second story fell fimn a scaffold
and his light arm was broken mar
the wrist joint. Dr. Lee was called
and the bone replaced. While this
was a painful hurt it is hoped that it
will soon be well and not give Kelly
but little trouble.
MR WELCH KILLED.
During the same day Mr, Walker
Welch, who lives about six miles
north of town, was cleaning a pistol
and a cartridge was exploded, the
ball entering the abdomen, mak -
ing a wound from which
its victom died on Sun*
day morning. Mr. Welch was one
of the first young man of his com
munity and one who was loved by
all who knew him. This terrible ac
cident is deeply regretted. He leaves
a young wife, a sister to Mrs. J, R
Wright of Jackson, and a widowed
mother.
Our deepest sympathies are ex
tended to all these unfortunates in
their troubles.
THE COTTON FACTORY.
The movers to the cotton factory
mentioned in these columns last
week are still at work but will give
nothing out for the press, We
have caught enough, though, to al
most warrant the assertion that it
will be built, More later.
Did you ever buy a horse and not

Not so with Ayer’s Sarsaparilla; you

Wedding Bouquets.
An English fashion for wedding
bouquets is what they call the
“spray bouquet.” It is of enor
mous size and is made to be sus
ended from the waist at the side,
lying the bride’s hands free for
the prater book, which an English
bride invariably carries. The
effect of the beautifully grouped
flat arrangement of flowers is very
charming against the rich white
satin or brocade of the bride’s dress,
and the decorative effect is still
further heightened by long loops
of white satm ribbon which mingle
with the flowers and maiden’s
hair fern and hang in a graceful
cascade down the entire length of
the skirt.
Willing to Compromise.
“No,” said the young woman,
“it can never be. I wish I could
have spared you the pain of this
refusal, but let me say—”
“Don’t say you will always be
a sister to me, Miss Kerleigh,”
howled the disappointed man.
“Anything but that”
“No, Mr. Wellalong,” she said
gently, “I am hardly old enough
for that But I might be a—a
niece or something of that kind;
you know.”—Chicago Tribune.

CAUSES OF 6ABHFULNESS.
f avion* Reasons Advanced to Aceount
for the Unpleasant Affliction.
Bashfulness is what is known
medically as a functional disorder
—that is to say. it does not depend
upon any actual disease, but is
due to some temporary interfer
ence with the natural action of
the brain. When the natural ac
tion of the bain is thus interfered
with, we say it is inhibited.
The first chief cause of bashful
ness consists in a man’s attention
being directed to himself. The
man who is quite at ease in his
office —bashfulness is most often
an attribute of the male sex —be-
comes self-conscious in the draw
ing room and very shy.
Although capable of joining in
the conversation, his witty re
mark is forestalled because he is
too slow in giving utterance to it,
or too timid to hear his own voice.
The ordinary action of his brain is
inhibited by his self-consciousness.
The second cause is emotion. The
extreme bashfulness of many men
when they are in love is prover
bial, and the surprisingly few mar
ried men who suffer from bashful
ness is noteworthy.
These causes are, however, usu
ally insufficient to produce bash
fulness, but there must be some
further necessary condition. Many
conditions predispose to it. For
example, a highly nervous tem
perament, deficient moral courage,
with which is associated lack of
self-assertion. These may be re
garded as constitutional causes.
Another predisposing cause is
defective education. The general
education may have been neg
lected, or the want of opportunity
of acquiring self-confidence in
society may have been experienced.
Bashfulness is to youth.
“Modesty is the graceful, calm
virtue of maturity, bashfulness
the charm of vivacious youth,"
and unless a young man takes ad
vantage of opportunities of enter
ing society, he will retain ‘ ‘an air
of bashfulness which is in reality
the want of habitual intercourse
with the world" (Waverly). As
long as 1570 Ascham wrote that
“If a young gentleman be bash
ful ancl soon blush, they call him
a babishe and ill-brought up
thyng." Deficient social education
is therefore a cause of bashful
ness.
Habit also predisposes to it. A
mere indisposition to exert one’s
self, if indulged for too long a
time, many eventually result in
confirmed bashfulness. This in
difference may be due to a want
of sympathy with the surround
ings or may have its origin in un
alloyed selfishness for many
bashful men are extremely selfish
—or may be due to vanity. The
man who is the life of the taproom
because there he .can do no wrong
is painfully ill at ease in the so
ciety of his equals, and the be
havior of Hastings in “She Stoops
to Conquer" is an example of this.
Lastly, excessive smoking or ex
cessive drinking and immoral or
unhealthy pursuits of all kinds are
sometimes the cause of bashful
ness.
Fashion Notes.
f* Black and white lace is finding
a place in the dinner and reception
gowns for the approaching social
season.
The redingote train, developed
from a redingote or princess back,
is used on afternoon gowns for the
house.
Little violet velvet toques are to
be worn this winter, with perhaps
a tiny edging of sable, and a group
of shaded velvet roses at one side.
A tea gown in striped brocade—
white, pink and sea-green—is
charming. The entire front is of
point d’esprit, draped with con
summate grace. The outer gar
ments include an imposing full
length carriage wrap, in faced
cloth, with inserted sleeves of emi
nence velvet.
Collarettes of bright ribbon
plaited, or of two ruffles of silk
scalloped on the edges’ and button
holed with colored silk, are worn
to brighten dark house dresses,
and long bows of chiffon, shirred
and tucked into shape, come in all
bright tints for indoor wear.
Changeable silks art used for
skirts. The favorite trimming on
simple taffeta petticoats is three
ruffles of pinked silk overlapping
each other. More elaborate im
ported skirts are finished with a
wide raffle of black lace edges and
insertions over a colored silk
flounce.
Anew mode of skirt is adopted
for a dinner gown of striped bro
cade, showing black in alternation
with dahlia. The skirt is not
trained, but laid in full plaits all
the way around. The waist has a
sash of dahlia velvet confining a
full corsage of black chiffon. Of
the latter material there is a bertha
encircling the shoulders.
Undoubtedly.
