TRADE AT HOME.
While the newspaper* all over the
country are agitating the idea of tra
ding at home, it will not be amis* foi
them to express their “Innard”
thoughts of the merchants, the pro
fessional and the business men ail
over this brom) land of our* who are
violating the good old trade at home
idea. Tlie United States Is wealthy j'
and owns the largest printing plant I ‘
in the world, and control* other pri j
vate printing house* throughout the i
country. Ami the United State* ha* :
entered into competition with the
home printer on a basis he cannot ■
begin to compete with. The United
States print shop print* return cards'
on envelopes free of cost. All you
have Io do i* to order them through '
your postmaster and dear Uncle
Sammy deliver* them at your post
office free of charge for the cost of
stumped envelope*. And dear old
Sammy goes out of the way to get
these profitless job*. lie send* out
thousands of dollar* worth of adver
Using matter, asking for work at a |
price that would starve the home prin
ter nay the home printer cannot buy i
the blank envelope* anywhere near
the price Uncle Sam want* to supply i
them at. Printing envelopes is a
part of every home printing office's j
legitimate buslneks, and no one ;
should send away to Washington to |
get this work done because It is
cheap. You don't like to see your
customers sending away to Shears !
Sawbuck for good* because they are
cheap, but some of you yourselves
don’t mind getting envelopes that ■
way. Practice what you preach and
let the money stay at home. Hence
forth if you want to see If the firm
you have in mind is cheap, notice his I
envelopes. If they are government
printed, you can mark that house
down as a mail order house. Same

The Menlo High School Journal.
Yes, the same irnmicable Peracles
of Menlo is at the helm again, and
any turbulancy of the educational
waters, whether imaginable or really
■ real, have folded under all rough
| edges and in one sense there is a
I great calm; that Is to say that all
i uneasiness and Baalimic prophesying
has disappeared, and as the little
i I’allilean ship when the Nazarene
.stepped upon the deck and with a
j mild rebuke tlie forces of nature
I promptly obeyed and immediately in
the desired haven, so with Professor
Ransom's recupancy of our beloved
academy as principal, with a faculty
of accomplished and efficient ladies.
! we feel assured that the labors aim
J and worthy ambition of the fathers
Ito build up a model school will be
the product. This is the fountain
that will send many sparkling brooks

Menlo has awakened to the reali
zation that while her bills grow de
licious Elbertas from which there is
much profit; and the incomparable
Shinbone ridge yields forth quanti
ties of iron oar and fine mineral wa
ter which lias such wonderful healing
| qualities of which we proudly boast,
still the school is by far the most
important factor.
The school opened on Monday.
I September 16th, with 161 pupils, but
there are 177 on tlie roll now. We
have 31 boarding pupils witli us from
; Rock Springs, Broomtown valley, Ce
dar Grove and Cherokee county, Ala.,
which we gladly make room for. We
have four literary teachers and an
up-to-date music teacher, viz: Prof.
Ransom, Miss Rosa Wyatt, Miss
Phillips, Mrs. Anderson and Miss
Pendergrass, respectively, who puz
zle our brains with grammar, non
sense and learning (ironically speak
ingl from eight o'clock in the morn
ing until four in the afternoon. This
is the beginning of our fifth week,
and if you have any doubt about
our doing good work, just come and
see, for the doors are always open
and a hearty welcome is extended to
all. Quite a number of the people of
this place have visited our school
since it opened, and those who came
Friday were Mrs. Jennings, Misses
Maggie and Effie Leath and Mrs.
McCoy.
Prof. Ransom has a black board on
which he has recorded the names of
all the high school pupils and marks
each week's study, which he keeps
hanging in the hall public to all
who pass through there. 1 wish 1
had not told you and perhaps you
would have passed it by unnoticed.
Tlie school was excused from their
lessons after the last recess Friday
p. ui. and the time was consumed in
organizing a school society. The
officers were elected and committees
appointed to arrange a program for
the first meeting which is to be
held two weeks from that time. We
have not named our society but that
will be done later.
For fear of taking up too much
space we will bid you adieu for the
present, promising to call again next

Dr. J L. D. King paid our school
a visit a few mornings ago and the

There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local
disease and prescribed local remedies
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be a constitutional disease
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, man
ufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., To
ledo, Ohio, Is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to a
) teaspoonful. It acts directly on the
; blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dol
lars for any case it fails to cure.

The Millinery Openings.
. Friday was advertised as the day
I for display of the new millinery for
the fall and winter wear of our peo-
i pie, and others who have learned to!
, appreciate the excellence of millinery i
j fashioned by the deft hands of our,
artists in that line.
The day brought many people to
; town; a steady stream of women and ’
children were constantly passing .
. from one store to another, until all
:■ the places advertised had been vis
ited.
j Like the Queen of Sheba, they i
i I found that the half had not been '
told. There is an unusual abundance ■
of hats, street hats, church hats, au
tomobile hats, and wedding hats; in
■ the most stylish shapes, of the very ;
i latest materials, in the most fashion-1
able colors, from the biggest picture 1
hat to the elegant little bonnet suit- '
able for all ladies at prices ranging
from two to twenty-five dollars,
j At the popular store of T. Hiles &
I Co., Miss McWhorter and a number I
of assistants were kept busy waiting
lon customers who were engaged in
I the charming occupation of “trying"
and buying hats. The "trying" pro
; cess is the most difficult, however,
for Dame Fashion has decreed that
hats must set well down on the
head this season, and the enormous
size of the crown and the absence of
the bandeau causes the hat to come
almost under the ears, making the
woman under the hat to appear as
iif about to be swallowed by the
hat. But the hats are so lovely and
so stylish that the buyers will risk
all danger of accident and will be
! come wearers of these same artis
tic creations in silk, velvet, satin,
maire, plush, chamoie and kid.
One hat shown by Miss McWhort
er which was much admired was a
I large Gainsborough, made of black
moire, trimmed with one handsome |
I willow plume which encircled the ,
' huge crown, priced twenty-five dol-
II lars and was sold to a customer in
Rome.
Here also were found the Russian
i Hussar Turbans in beautiful furs
'■ both black and brown. Turbans with
crowns of draped silk were also on
’ exhibition, trimmed in wings and
jet buckles. Another hat which at
tracted much attention was made of
1 tan colored chamoie, trimmed in
r black aud tan with wings, and yet
another was of catauba calored silk
velvet trimmed in handsome plumes.
In the elegant millinery parlors of
Cleghorn, Henry & Co., Miss Potts
gave the throng of buyers the most
I courteous attention possible, and
. showed some beautifully trimmed
hats. Among them is a very large
hat of white kid, having the broad
-1 brim underfaced with black velvet,
trimmed with velvet loops, two white
wings, a jet buckle and priced SB.OO.
A child's hat of white French felt
was shown, having the crown of
white plush softly draped and held
. in position by plush covered buttons.
' Another misses hat which was much
> admired had the large crown made
1 of white ribbon basket work, with
’ the brim of white felt, trimmed in
1 loops of white ribbon and white buck
1 le. The favorite hat seemed to be a
’ large Box Turban of black velvet,
- trimmed with ribbon and a very hand
some ostrich plume of some new
' make up. which was held in place by
1 a jet buckle.
In the tastefully appointed parlors
’ a’ Hinton & Co. Miss Fox and a
number of helpers were constantly
engaged showing the large crowd of
prospective and actual buyers the
' fine and varied assortment of worn
en’s and children's headgear, prom
i inent among which was a big Gains
borough hat, trimmed with jet buck
les and two long, fluffs, beautifully
i curled and fashionably drooping black
plumes, priced $25.00 and sold to a
. customer in Griffin.
| Here also are found the Turbans,
the Russians in furs, the Nut Shells
in silk and velvet, trimmed beautiful-
- ly and reasonably priced for fine nia
. terial.
A peculiarly shaped hat having
f the brim slashed, and underfaced
’ with contrasting color and bent about
’in several directions, handsomely
trimmed in the new colors, and call
ed the Colonial, was much admired
■ by the ladies.
Another hat which received much
j attention was sold to a customer in
Atlanta, was of moire valour, was
trimmed in paradise feathers and
was priced $8.50.
. There are fine assortments of Mis
ses and children' hats aud caps at
all the stores.
