PARIS AND NEW YORK FASHIONS.
The Question of Style Outline Practically
Settled the Latest in Skirts, Sleeves and
Coats.
Inside the great shops cue could
almost be convinced that, by some
species of magic, the season had
been advanced several weeks.
Certainly the filmy fabrics, with
exquisite, artistic lloral designs, the
delicate laces and dainty em
broideries, which elicit constant ex
clamations of admiration from the
threngs of fair visitors, seem to be
long more to midsummer than to
early spring.
There are also spring and sum
mer suits and gowns on exhibition;
and though these forced blossoms
cannot be expected to represent the
last word of Fashion in tiie matter
of details and accessories, they in
dicate the spring trend in their out
lines. '
In Paris, tlu- struggle for su- J
premacy between the princess and I
empire ttyles has ended in j
triumph for the p r i needs'
gowns for general wear and :
street toilettes. Hut the empire,
though subordinated, and relegated '
to house and evening ivear. will j
still h" a distinguished factor m j
modish attire. i
The princess, or corselet, skirt is j
the prime factor :r present, and in 1
its various moditication is employed!
for all types of toilettes, from the
simple morning suit to the daintiest, '
most cloud-like of lingerie frocks.:
The skirt in which the princess j
effect is achieved by gores which j
continue from hips, whence the i
seams are lost in voluminous folds,
is the sort c!ni-n for suits of mo
hair, pauama, tine French ch-viot ,
and allied fabrics, as well as for
gowns of l.ennetta and the heavier j
varieties of silk or satin. j
For voiles and other sheer fabrics,
or for very soft, light weight silks,
such as radiums, and foulards, the
priucess effect of the skirt is develop
ed with shirring or tucking, while
in lingerie frocks the tucks or shirrs
are employed, and a pointed girdle;
is outline I with inserts of lace or'
embroidery. This idea is disdinctlyj
new. ;
Theciicular Bkirt, since its be
setting sin a tendency to sag at
the sides has been overcome by
various devices, born of the genius
ot designers, is more popular than
ever, and the plaited skirt with hip
yoke is still in the running
Two coat styles threaten to
monopolize the favor of the modish
woman, the glorified bolero and the
pony coat. Each has, apparently, a
mission of its own: the bolero is so
intimately associated with the prin
cess skirt as to be almost inseparable
from it, and the pony ooat is most
frequently seen in company with
circular skirt.
The street suit or gown will con
tinue to be short; dressy frocks will
have a short sweep at the
back, while for ceremonious toilettes
a train of medium length is cor
rect. Sleeves will be of fclbo"? or three
quarter length, the newest elbow
sleeve endiug just above, instead of
below, the point of the elbow.
The long sleeve is used only for
coats or strictly tailored suits or
shirt waists.
Fashion has made a most lavish
and varied provision of trimmings
this season, and two or three kinds
on one garment will frequently be
employed.

ton Co for this illustration of mod

Every

Physicians tell us. that all
the blood in a healthy
human body passes through
the heart once in every two
minutes. If this action be
comes irregular the whole
body suffers. Poor health
follows poor blood ; Scott's
Kniulsion makes the blood
pure. One reason why
SCOTT'S
EMULSION
is such a great aU is because
it passes so qtiick.lv into
the blood. It i; partly di
gested before it enters the
stomach ; a double advan
tage in this. Less wor!;
for the stomach; quicker
and more direct benefits.
To get the greatest amount
of good with the least pos
sible effort is the desire of
cvervone in poor health.
Scott's Kniulsion does just
that. A change for the
better takes place even be
fore you expect it.

In sneaking of this leport Mr T
K Bruner, secretary of the State
Board of Agriculture, said:
"This record is remarkable for
the surprisingly low number of
sheep. The State is well adapted to
the production of sheep, and it is
well known that they are less ex
pensive to keep than dogs. It is
too well known that thousands of
acres of grazing lands are open,
scattered from the coast to the
mountain tops, that these lands are
capable of sustaining, with but
little additional feed in the winter
months, hundreds of thousands of
sheep, yet we are confronted with
the statement that there are in
round numbers but 200,000 sheep
in the State. Virginia, just to the
north of us has nearly 500,000 and
Pennsylvania, where land values
are much higher than in this State,
has more than a million.
'Should not our people turn
their attention to this iudustry.
VALUABLE TO MERCHANTS.
The Experience of a Bunch ef Kansas Busi
ness Men. j
The story is told of fifteen mer- j
chants of Topeka, Kansas, who last
year, banded together, pledging
themselves against investing in any
graft advertising, such as calendars,
hotel registers, blotters, yarn sticks,
fences and bill boards, and the re
sult according to their figures was
$5,000 saved. They found that
newspaper advertising gave them
the results, and was less expensive.
And this the historv of other
places and their merchants. What
medium reaches those who want
goods, is the question, and it is
more anil more iounu to oetne news
paper, which seldom is confined to
one family of readers but coes about
and is persistant with its big letters
and hgures, its designs ana pictures
which all proclaim bargains and the
articles which every member of the
family needs.
And it is not for one lnv that
these ads so prrsii-tently demand
recognition, but day nf'er day,
throughout the year," until every
reader, every jmrson in want nf any
thing, looks to the columns of the
newapajwr, nut. i any mu'i on the

Same Bits of Information About Denton,
Davidson County.
Recently the Davidson Dispatch
contained "an interesting & ketch of
iVntnn uhieh isiust over the line
j from Randolph, i Davidson county
j from which we make a few extracts.
' Denton is comparatively young,
I datinu from the year the post
! Oilier' was established. S M 1'ea
Icock was the first postmaster. In
18SO the first store was opened by
B I Ilarnson and J M Daniel.
They did business for several years,
when it was continued by Mr
Daniel, who still does a thriving
nieicantile business there.
In 1S80 Dr A Anderson, of Davie
county began his practice at Den
ton, his only posfessiona at that
time being 3.00 in tunny, a few
medicine bottles and a bay horse.
He puteveiy eneigy into his prac
tice in MoiitgcHiit rv, Randolph an
Davidenu countie!-. To day be is
the lnrgeM properly owner 111 tlia
section'." Dr Anderson built the
first refiiiei.ee at Denton.
The peculation ot Denton num

good ivlier mills and several prosperous-
mi leiintile enterprises and

railroad in e! tin- development that
will take place in the Miriounding
country, (iood facloiv sites can be
had i u tile town and raw material
is eery where in abundance. There
is a billion feet of the finest timber
in the iciuity. Asa farming sect
ion this section is as rich as any
in Davidson. All the farms are
plentifully supplied with water and
the country is healthy. 'Fhe rail
road will be ready in a very short
time the grading having already
been done, and Denton will be the
terminal for some time to come.
The people are all "home folks,"
! which means that they are splendid
citzens. Theii community is great
ly lilest with natural resources, and
now that a railroad reaches it, it
will come to the front very swiftly.

to home hunters and manufactur

ache, constipation and liver trouble
is De Witt's Little Ktuly Risers.
