There are many kinds of love as
many kinds of ltght.
And every kind of love makes a glory
in the night.
There is love that stirs the heart and
love that gives it resx,
But the love that leads life upward is
the noblest and the best.
—Van Dyke.

STYLIBH WOMEN.
It may be better “to be stylish than
handsome,” but one must first learn
to define style.
It is not wearing what other people
wear, whether It suits you or not.
It is not wearing incongruous or un
suitable costumes just because they
are the rage.
It Is not being overdressed or con
spicuous or always assorting the »M
--est novelty.
It is not wearing clothes that cost
a small fortune. Taste and a knowl
edge of what suits you outweigh dol
lars when it comes to Btvle.
It is selecting things that are be
coming and individual, seeing thiat
they arc 8 v ept ' n immaculate
condition, „..u carrying oneself so as
to show them to tl»e best advantage.

Negro Ragamuffins Caught
Fox After Exciting Chase
A gang of young negro ragamuffins
jumped a two-thtrds-grown fox under
a house on the 1400 block of Reyn

there followed a chase that, in point
of speed, skill and enthusiasm, would
put to shame a big hunt event of

Has Secured Permission
from United States En

It now appears Itiat it will hardly
j lie necessary to have a special session

1 granting the right for a ferry to Mr.
j Geo. S. Murphey, who applied for the
1 priviledge at the regular monthly
| meeting of the body last Monday
1 night,
j The river and wharf committee was
| instructed to view the situation over
| and report bark to a special session
of council and they went out on an
j investigating tour last Friday to get
data lo enable them to report to
' council.
However, it developes that council
gave the right to operate a ferry at
a special meeting directly after the
I flood and Capt. A. J. Twiggs al once
made preperatlons to put up one. He
; has progressed rapidly with the work
and will soon have it in operation
from Washington street, lie secured
permission from Col. Dan C. Klngnjan
of the Hntlted Slates Engineers, to
remove enough of the dikes and jet
ties to get through with his ferry and
everything is now in readiness fog the
transportation, which will be here
soon.
II is understood that no farther
movement will lie made lo establish
another ferry as the one in contempla
tion was to have operated from Mc-
Intosh street, just one block above
