If not, and you want something nice and re i freshing these hot August days, sup -1 pose you t r ier a dozen or two doz en bottle cases, and put them in the refrigeraior or the ice boy. Try it, and my word for it you woA regret it, nor will you be without it again while the heat of summer lasts « * * For the first time in life my daughter,Miss Edna, has gone vis iting and will be absent from home more than one night. Gone, and al ready the house begins to feel lone some like, although she left but this forenoon. She has gone on a vitit of two wetku to her great grandmother, Mrs. Jane Vandiver of Alexis Ala. She ie *the oldes< livimi great grand child on both sides and is a purty tolerble smart little girl of nine years if I, bei daddy do say it.

EVANS FOR GOVERNOR. Not Gen. C. A. But John Gary of South Carolina. Columbia, S C.. August 14. Coun ty convention of the reform, or 1 illmau fact on, to which delegates were elected in reform club primar rien last Saturday in accordance with what is known as the Colleton plan, were held in all counties or the state today, and delegates were elected to the reform state convei ■ tion which will meet here August 16th. to nominate reform candi dates for governor and lieutenant governor and probably an entire state ticket. Reports from the conventions are meager, but tne election of sufficient delegates to nominate John Gary Evans by an overwhem ing majority was a foregone con clusion. The reports generally indicate that between 80 and 50 per cent of the 55,000 reform votes east in 1892 participated in Saturday’s club election.

FOR WOMEN FOLKS MAUD MULLER—UP TO DA’IE. Maud Muller on a summer day, Calmly fanned the flies away. The judge came riding down the road And checked his hone near Maud’s abode. ••How is it Maud,” he slowly spake, “That you are out without your rake?” “Why don’t you do as in the lay, And rake the meadow sweet with hay?” ••The meadow,hay and even the rake,” She sighed "are but a poets fake.” •• We fln de siecle maids, 1 wot, Rake nothing but our Psyche knot.” The judge with idol smashed in twain Proceeded ou the road again. SO HE WOULDN’T FORGET IT. Pei haps it might be better for Mr Smith if he were more observant or possibly more something elec, says the Detroit Free Press. The other morning when he started down town his wife gave him an important letter io mail, and when he retuaned in the evening it was in his pocket. ‘ Henry,’’ enquired hie wife, jiut as hi had settled comfortably, “did you mul that letter I gave you this morning?’’ “You don't suppose, love, that 1 would carry it around with me, do you?’’ he replied as palavering as he knew how. ’ I don’t suppose anything else,” hi said, suspiciously; “where did you mail it?” “Right around the corner in that ox, love; I did it at once, dear, so 1 would be sure not to f orget i'. ” She jumped up suddenly, “Henry Smith,” she exclaimed ‘‘give me that letter. They moveu that box around on the far side of the square a month ag< ,” and Mr. Smith swore softly at the.postoliice authori ty. . A DISTINCTION. ‘‘Yes, I suppose you may call Eben a successful man. He does a good business, but in my mind lie isn't prosperous.” So said Mrs. Tracy to her sister, who had con gratulated her on the purchase by her husband of a mill which he was thought to have bought at a bargain, says the Cincinnati Tri bune. “Well,” returned her sister, “it seems to me everything he touches comes out just right. He’s the busiest man in town.” “That's just it,” retorted Mrs. Tracey.“ He’s busy and he succeeds in his doings, but that isn’t pros pering—not as I understand it. You see,’’she continued, “when we were first married he leased the little wooden mill down on the stream, and got along first-rate. He wasn’t over busy, and we used to ride round together every after noon and have lots of company and good times. “But he began to make money and buy more wool, and more mills to take care of it and more storehouses to put it in, until it takes about all his time to get it from one mill to the other. Some times I see him on Sunday, but he is generally busy resting up to start fresh again. He’s about as much a slave as if he were chained ju a galley. ” “Yes,” but he does make mon ey,” said one. “Well, perhaps so, but it all g >es to buv more wool. If anybody hankers for lots of wool in this world that’s one thing. Eben has any amount of wool, but when it comes to getting the real solid goodness out of life and enjoying it, he’s forgotten how to do it. Really, as I look at it, Eben is the most unprosperous man in town.” ENGLISH LADIES WEAR PANTS Considerable commotion was crea ted in the neighborhood of Totten ham Court road la«t night by the ap pearance of many ladies, arrayed in tunic., knickerbockers, gaiters, and —the words must be written —stock l ngs of various hues, seated on bicy cles, who dashed up in vigorous style to the doors of the Ideal Club and entered therein. The occasion was a reception to in augurate the formation of a lady cyc lists’ federation, which is intended to promote cycling among women and to them from tHe tyranny of long skirts, By its aid, also, they hope to make themse vee in iependent of the staid, old fashioned innkeepers who refuse them admission to dining rooms be cause they have discarded petticoats for if will provide them with bouses of all of their own, where they will, to all intents and purposes, be their own mistress. The federation will also help lh( in (<>|buy machines ou the hire system, and generally to make members as good as if ii-1 better than men. The reoeption was well attended and very successful. DEVICE OF A CLEVER WO MAN The Leghorn hat is conspicuous at the summer resorts just now The summer girl wears one with almost all of her afternoon frocks. A novelty about, the Leghorn hats this season is that they are trimmed in entirely one color. An ingenious summer girl now at Rich fled Springs has already appeared in seven different Leghorn hats. Her friends have been specula ting on the number of trunks nec essary to contain her wardrobe and they have decided that it took at least one trunk simply to bring h'<i Leghorn hats to the springs. In this they have been mistaken for this gayly attired .summer girl brought with her out one Leghorn hat and seven different sets of trimmings. One day she appears in u Leg horn hat trimmed with lo ps of baby blue chiffon and two Prince of Wales t'ps in the same color. The next day the hat will be overgrown with pink rosebuds, which will wind themselves in and out a band of pink chiffon ro settee. On other occosions the bat is trim med with bachelor buttons and tulle to match. With a white gowu it appears laden with white lilacs and loops of white moire ribbon. Some days it is adorned with black violetsand black chiffon.in fact, it is made to harmonize with almost every gowu in her wardrobe. It takes but a few mintes to re trim the hat, and it enables the young woman to have seven hats for a comparatively small expendi tuie of mouey.The Richfield guest 8 are busy holding consultations over the extravagant amouLts of her millinery bill.
