I went up to Pinson’s Station, in
Watters District, yesterday and
spent the day at the hospitable
home of the “biggest mau in
Floyd,” Dr. Nixon. I was there
as the guest »f that sterling young
democrat and popular soldier citi
zen Farris Nixou —the son of his
ncble father.
*
* *
Quite a number as Romans were
present, and they, with the fair
maidens of Watters and stalwart
sons of the prosperous farmers of
■hat rich section, [made a gather
irg from which gaiety and fun
followed in as great a volumn and
as pu r e a stream as did the crys
tal waters from the great spring
among the rocks at the foot of Dr.
Nixons rearer lawn.

It seems to me now that this was
me of the most satisfactory days
of my life. Out there in the coun

tied through the growing corn and
romped over the green fields ot
cotton, then laden with the song
of birds and the odor of flowers
came out of the whispering treezes
to blow through our whiskerr.

I am not going to tell how I spent
the entire diy, for Co). Erwin Price
Dr Nixm , Adolphus Harbor, Oscar
McWilliams, Henry Steward, Gtw
Johnson, W. M. Bridges, Frank Kane
and aome of the other boys had quite
an argument over the tariff and ex
changed views on Free Silver for an
hour or two and I made the best lis
tener in the field.
* *
*
Then I lay on the big flat rocks
ar,mud the big spring and jotted
down this memoranda from Gus
Johnson who was catching flies and
fishing in the spring:
“Gee >V hiz! Put thisun down as a

We were enable*! to do this most

FOR WOMEN FOLKS.
AT WHICH SH RINE?
A pretty fashion of marking all
personal linen, is to select some tiny
dower—the moss rose bud of Marie
Antoinette, a violet, or a clover—and
weave it into one of the corners of a
handkerchief or on other garments.
To be known by a certain flower is
quite a fad with some young woman,
1 the perfume of the violet, a branch of
I the flowers, a bedroom in violent
' hues, and a dainty kerchief, with a
- tiny flower delicatedly embroidered,
I serve to show to friends that my lady
i worships at a violet shrine.

' REFORM IN PENMANSHIP
The fashionable penmanship is
threatened. The women who. at
great pains and even the laying
) o some dollars, have mastered the
I accomplishment of covering one
sheet of Irish linen with eight words,
three dots to “i’s” and seven crosses
to “t’s”, till the page looks like a
problem m geometry or the lettering
I on a bill of fare on the walls of a
t Chinese restaurant, will have to re-
I form if the crusade which has started
. among society women in New Oriean 8
succeeds. It seems that the fashion
, ble penmanship reached such extra
ordinary heights in its present crazy
quilt patterns that people who re
ceived invitations to dinner from
their most intimate friends often
condoled with comparative strangers
1 on sudden irisfortunes instead of ac
cepting tor the dinner. When it got
> to that stage a few women determin
■ ed to drop the fad and start an inde-
> pendent move for legible penmanship,
i That is all very nice, but what the
i girls want is a reform iu the penman
i ship among their masculine friends,
so that when a girl is at the seaside
and he writes that he will come at 9
• o'clock in the something or other, she
will be able to tell whether the char
acters spell “morning’’ or “evening.”
! It makes a heap of difference some
times.
’ CHOCOLATE VS WATER.
A French woman has been trying
to emulate Dr Tanner in his sixty
1 days’ fast, with this excention that
she used chocolate instead of water
With a view of testing the sustaining
( powers of chocolate, she lives upon

HER QUALIFICATIONS.
A story is told of the second Mr?.
1 Asquith, that when she was 17 years
of i.ge she was greatly concerned be
cause she had oulv eleven offers of
i marriage, while her elder sister, now
. i Ladv Ribbesciale, at the same age
' had had fourteen.’ Later she told Mr.

asked what Lev qualifications were,

the latest form.
To announce the birth of a baby
the visiting card of the mother should
be sent to relatives and friends, with
the tiny card of the infant attached by
narrow white ribbon to the upper left
hand corner. In the past the name of
the child was engraved upon the card
but the later form dictates simply ‘‘A
Little Son or Daughter,’’with the date
of birth added. This leaves the name
with opportunity of change until
christening.
SENSIBLE MODERN WOMEN,
A well-known aesthetic recently
advised women .never to pass a
mirrow without looking into it and
observant persons perceive the
wisdom of this injunction. When
one is shopping for instance f u |i
lengnt merrors are frequently en
countered and a passing glance is
sufficient to rev,al the disordered
veil or hat the strpe of braid torn
from the bottom of the gown the
bow or flounce awry or any other
defeat in the toilet; and it is then
an easy matter to remedy the
shortcoming which it neglected
would stamp one as lacking i u
proper regard for tidiness.
