It is true that there is yet an 18 year lease on the W. & A. rail road, but now is the time to stay the waste that is not only threat ened but is actually taking place. With these . four parallel lines enumerated, and the terminals at both ends destroyed, what will the property at the end of the lease be worth? No one will want it for it has been shorn of it’s value. Able men m the legislature ought to and woulc( find a remedy for; these impending dangers. We have each men in our coun ty.

A pretty sofa cushion is made of two squares of linen (14 by 14 inches), ornamented at the four Corners on either side, with: a de sign in “cut; work” embroidery; a broad insertion of lace unites the two squares, the handsome crimson brocade of the cushion being reveal ed through the lace. The New Centerpieces. Centerpieces and doilies are most- ! ly lace trimmed this season, not with renaissance laee, however, as has been the case now these many seasons. Some very fine pieces of the renaissance are still to be found in which there are noticeably few of the rings which made that lace so heavy. The Austrian handmade lace, known as crepon, has almost completely usurped its place. There are also some centerpieces decorated tvith white Irish embroidery and some made of Chinese grass linen, embroidered in the rose, dragon and cherry blossom designs that have long been familiar on fans and other trophies of the orient. Some of the grass linen pieces have the white groimd, with blue or white embroidery of white. There are ! scarfs as well as centerpieces in ^uese imDortations. “Uncle John” is a man who drives tourists to see the famous •Stanford tomb..
