If Our Citizens WiU Work T °e®ther , We Can Secure Other Regiments I After Departure of the Third- All citizens interested in having soldiers stationed at Camp Northen during the coming months, are invit ed to meet at offices in rear of the. City National Bank at 10 o’clock tomorrow (Monday) morning. The soldiers being here means much to the trade of our merchants, and the money spent here circulate from this point in all directions through the whole State. A prominent officer of the Third Georgia regiment, U. 8 V , now locat ed here, told me that he much oreferr* ed to remain in Griffin than to go to Athens or Augusta, Und the same offi cer farther said that Col Ciook, chair man of the railroad commission of Alabama, said when visiting here that Camp Noriherilwas the finest camp he had Many regular army officers, as well as volunteer officers, have praised our camp and there is ample room on the - ground for four or five regiments, there being about 45 acres between the Southern railway and the woods, that have never been used by the soldiers. Thia part of the camp is well drained as all the rest of the grounds are, and would maLe a beautiful site for a winter camp. It is not too late to act in this mat ter. Many citizens seen by me have promised their co-operation. The war department is anxious to get the bent places at which to station their soldiers. This is the best place. Let all who are interested come to the meeting, and let us all pull to gather in this matter. Very respectfully, David J. Bailey.

In Jackson the area of infection is gradx ually increasing. There is now a case within 100 yards of the state capitol. The state board of health this morn ing issued the following appeal lor aid from the general government, the governor telephoning hie approval from Brandon: “To the President, Washington r In consequence of yellow fever and quar antine there is already great deatitu* tioo in stricken communities of this state. At this place 90 per cent of the white people are absent and sever al thousand negroes are out of em ployment and subsistence, many being cordoned in originally infected dis tricts. Local and personal contributions have ceased, so that the situation is one of increasing distress. Under a state statute the board of health is au thorised with consent of the governor, when occasion demands it, to call up on the general government for such financial and medical aid as the neces sities arising out of any epidemic may require. We need provisions for about 6,000 persons here and at other places, for about 30 days, also money to pay nurses. “J. F. Hunter, M. D., “Chairman Executive Committee Mis sissippi State Board of Health. ‘•I cordially approve the foregoing. "A. J.

' , “The world will hear and pass unheading on, And no one ever understands,” he said. A thousand hearts grew hushed to hear the song.

Henry Walker There is a genuine seal in shopping now The sunshiny streets are bright with the gayest of shop windows, foil of temping novellies that truly makes money feel heavy in one's pocket. Os course the display that attracts most attention still continues to be*cfiat of woolen goeds, braids and trimmings, and next after this the public interest turns with great livliness to the study of furs. Every week the braids devel op new phases, and the last outgrowth is a rough surfaced, black silk passe menterie, with jet and steel beads out very fine, and worked into the edge in the center of the trimming, in a light little pattern There are also scores of varieties of appliques that no dress loving woman could pass over in si lence. Many of the appliques are cut from what is called suede cloth, in oak and vine leaf pattern. As Ibis cloth is quite thick, its edge is beveled, and then all the ramifications of the leaf vines are outlined in stitching, or fine bright beading. Still another, and most popular ornamentation for new gowns is heavy black, cream, or even Russian lace, in simple pattern, and worked up with sparkling beads. The braids are all important, (or the reason that on them, and on the narrow band of fur, we are going to depend wholly for the garnishment of winter dresses. Far and passementerie will labor side by-aide at the noble mission of decora tion, and if any woman thinks this arrangement sounds sombre, it is sim ply because she has not yet seen any of the very lovely new gowns. • e * The first meeting of the fall session of the Boynton chapter, Daughters of the Confederacy, held yesterday after noon in the parlors of the Y, M.

I shall never forget it. If I live to be a hundred years old that moment will always stand out as plainly as it dees tonight.” She sighed and nestled a little closer, looking longingly up into hie honest blue eyes. After a moment’s silence she urged: “Yes, but John, dearest,you haven’t told me when it was.” “Ob,” be answered, “I thought you had guessed it. Surely it ought to be easy enough for yon to do so. It wa when you camo to me last fall, if you remember, and told mo that you bad decided to trim over one of your old hats so as to make it do for the win ter.” Then the celebration of the seventh anniversary of their marriage became formal and uninteresting.
