We congratulate the church at Jackson Ga., on securing as paster Bro. Geo. H. Carter of Starkrille, Miss. We wish very much that Bro.

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.

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.

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.
