Jerked Arm Out Of Place.
After returning from the bap
tizing last Sunday afternoon, Col.
H. H. Dean started to take his
children driving when one of his
horses started to cuttiug up. Not
being able to get him to “go,
Colonel decided to take him oat
and give him a genteel “trimming
down” with a buggy whip. Ac
cordingly, he began to ply the
whip with telling effect when the
horse gave a sudden upward and
backward lunge at the same time,
which resulted in jerking the Col
onel’s left shoulder out of place.
Not being able to get a doctor,
several neighbors—nine in nnmj
ber, to be exact—got hold of the
Colonel, some taking hold of
neck, some his arm, some
body (none took hold of his
as he never allows that to
pulled) and jerked the arm back
into socket. He suffered consid
erable pain for awhile, but is ail
right again now, though he has
decided he doesn’t want to whip
any more horses.

The Firemen ToJMeet.
The firemen will hold a meet
ing tonight at the city hall to de
cide whether or not they will have
their annual picnic this year. The
company is now in first-class con
dition, the apparatus in splendid
shape, and the laddies say if
they do decide to give a picnic
this year it will be the best
thing of the kind ever held in the
“Queen City.” A full attendance
is requested for tonight.
‘‘AROUND THE WORLD.”
TJie Patriotic Daughters of the
Confederacy Entertained
Royally on Friday
Night Last.
If there be any person living
who thinks that the people ot the
South have forgotten the heroes
of the “lost cause,” they should
have been here on Friday night
and taken a trip “around the
world. ”
The entertainment given by the
Daughters of the Confederacy on
Friday night was a perfect success,
both socially and financially, and
will be long remembered by those
who were fortunate enough to take
the trip “around the world.* *
Loyely maidens, stately matrons
and handsome men were the or
der of the evening, and every one
that took a part in the entertain
ment covered themselves with
glory.
It would be impossible to men
tion each person individually, but,
suffice it to say, that every cos
tume was perfect and each wear
er respleudeDt in its giory.
First, on our trip we came to
Spain, which was at the home of
Mrs. C. C. Sanders. There you
saw the petite sonoritas of Spain
dressed m their native costumes,
and one would almost imagine he
was walking the streets of old
Madrid, so perfect were the deco
rations and so natural the par
ticipants looked.
Next, came Japan, at the home
of Mrs. Campbell Brown. There,
you viewed the young ladies of
the land of the Mikado. So nat
ural did they look until one was
compelled to bow as stately as do
the Japanese, and bodily sit down
on the floor, tailor-fashion, in
stead of taking a chair.
Then you were transported to
the “Land of Flowers, ” which
was at the residence of Mrs. S. C.
Dunlap. Each maiden was as
pretty and as sweet as the flower
she represented^aud one was com
polled to linger and feast his eyes
on the beauty of the situation and
drink in the fragrance and odors
ot the lovely flowers' that wafted
themselves from this sunny laud.
Last, but not by any means
least, came “Dixie, ” not the new
Dixie that you hear so much
of, but old-time, old-fashioned
Dixie—Dixie, around which lin
gers such fond and tender recol
lections. There you saw the| an
te-bellum costumes of the Jwomen
of the South, which were worn
by those who are today keeping
alive the patriotic spirit" of J the
New South and are endeavoring
to erect a monument to commem
orate the heroes who fought for
what “they thought was right.”
Mrs. T. B. Lewis’ home was con
verted into Dixie.
M&y the Daughters of the Con
federacy succeed in every under
taking as they succeeded in their
Trip Around the World.”
Weather conditions for the last
week have been highly favorable
or the prosecution of all farm
work and satisfactory for the de
velopment of crops. Wmter wheat
maintains its exceptional prom
ise. In Texas and California,
where the harvests begin in thirty
days, only an unusual calamity
can prevent a large yield.
Mi* to M.V. Your Sack Suit
Is really the most important one in
your wardrobe. It must stand harder
wear than any other—it is probably
seen by more people, and your per
sonal appearance frequently has
much to do with your success in busi
ness transactions.
2 hat is why we have devoted so
much more space in our store to Sack
Suits than usual this Season.
Our assortment is far greater^
both forfabric patterns, styles, shapes
and sizes. You can have the single
breasted three or four-buttoned Sack
—you can have the double-breasted
Coat in several styles and you can
haye black or blue Serge, black
Worsted or black or blue Cheviot or
the choice of an immense assortment
of fancy Woolens and Worsteds.
Our prices range as low as $io and
up to $zo } but in the middle prices,
$12, $15 AND $18,
we have by far the largest assort
ment and also a range of higher val
ues. If any of these Suits were made-
to-your-measure they would cost at least double what we charge.
