Over tlio C ;,. ,.: I AN EYELASH TONIC Every day T have several requests ' trom readers tor something that will really make the eyelashes long and thick. A great many young girls also want to make them darker. This is .very difficult since the eyelashes would have to be dyed, but there is a splendid tonic which will make them long if it is faith fully used. Vaseline has been frequently recom mended, but as this is a mineral prod uct it contains nothing that will actu ally nourish the roots of the hairs. Olive oil, or castor oil, being vegetable pro ducts, have nourishing properties, there fore either of them can be considered a tonic - Castor oil also possesses the virtue of making the lashes a very lit tle bit darker. But here is a formula which contains three nourishing ingredients; cocoa but ter, laoline, and sweet almond oil. Tho formula is as follows:' Cocoa butter 1 dram Parawax 4 drams Lanoline 1-2 dram Oil of sweet almonds, 4 drams Rosol oil 2 drops Tou can mix these ingredients your self by warming the oils and waxes until they are blended, then stirring them together as they cool. It produces a thick cream which should be rubbed over the eyelids and into the upper and lower eyelashes. Like most beauty treatments it is best to do it just be fore going to bed. It can be used on the eyebrows if they are too thin. As for darkening the lashes, a dark brown eyebrow pencil can be used. 111 ' M' III & Ii s VJ - rh - iJ T i v t &, -A; v - " v .-, - , ; v ' k ; ' . -v. yrl aressmaicing lessons. &c. ana is an- . : wiiiiysumaii s wguruus pro- doubtedly a book which every woman 'Lest tne hlU "itroduced by request by who wants to dress well and wants to Townsenrof Harnett, passed the House see her family well dressed should hava ?"nd na A favorable committee report .trice J.U cenis a copy in the Senate.

Alexander Spends Ten Days Hunting in North hampton County. Hunting and hospitality prevail in Northampton county, according to E. U. Alexander, well-known Mecklenburg man, who has just returned from en joying both with friends in that coun ty, bearing back with him a sizeable deer which he brought down and a 20 pound wild turkey. Deer are so plentiful in that part of the State that, according to an ar ticle in The Roanoke Times, published while Mr. Alexander was there, two of them roamed up into the town of Rich Square and were there shot by citizens of the town, and the newspaper re marked at the time that unless some steps, other than mere hunting of deer was devised, their depredations . would assume serious proportions. Mr. Alexander went to Northamp ton county to visit his daughter. Miss .Paulina Alexander, former teacher in the schools of this county, but now a member of the faculty of the Richl Square school. He was gone for ten days during which time hs spent many whole days in the fields and marshes of the county. "We did the most of our hunting, on a farm of 11,000 acres." remarked i Mr. A'exander. "Tfce land is almost perfectly level, except for some expan sive lepressions which are often over flowed by the Roanoke river. The rows in fields devoted to crops run for a mile and a half as straight as a string. While I was on this plantation, I saw three peanut threshing machines run ning during the whole week I was there. I wouldn't undertake even to estimate how many hundreds of bush els of peanuts were produced on this one farm. These threshing machines hull the peanuts, the tops and the . hulls being thrown together in stacks for feeding purposes. Farmers say there is no better feed for stock and cattle. In addition to the vast amount of peanuts raised in that country, cot ton, corn and all other major crops are raised :n abundance. "We think wo make pretty good crops around here on some of our best land," Mr. Alexander added, "but we are not in shouting distance of the peo ple of Northampton in the per acre production. The owner of this 11,000 acres on which I hunted works 135 horses. "Deev, wild turkey, geese, ducks, fox and other species of game uncommon i in this part of the State are as thick as flies almost down there," said Mr. Alexander. "We spent our time largely hunting deer. Perry Tyler, the most famous deer hunter in the Eastern part of the State, was our companion. He used three dogs, the stock of which has been in the Tyler family for over 100 years. They are expe rienced deer dogs and hunt nothing else. They seem to be of the usual hound type, but they are so carefully. trained that they are not interested in other game except deer. Tyler has named the three he now owns Joffre. j Balfour and Margaret Wilson. SHOT FINE DEEE,. "When they hunt deer, there is gen erally a large crowd in the party and they are stationed in a line across the swamps at intervals of about a quar ter of a mile apart. Being a stranger in that part of the country, 1 was giv en the most favored position when the deer was jumped, the hunters seeming to know pretty well which way a deer is likely to run. It always run3 with the wind in order to keep the scent of i the trail as near it as possible and in ! order also to keep the wind from cut-: ting its breath. The hunters figured j it our right on our expedition. The i deer was jumped and ran within shoot- j ing distance of where I was stationed. I brought him down with one shot which went tc his heart." Mr. Alexander also brought home with him a fine wild turkey which he bagged, although It required the aid of ! an experienced dog to chase the in- jured bird several hundred yards after it was brought to earth by Mr. Alex ander's shot. The turkeys are killed when they are called, the hunters hav ing a special device which sounds identic illy like the therenodies of a gob bler. When they circle around the hunters concealed in a pen and par tially covered over with leaves, they are often shot down in great quanti ties. The men who hunt down there, said Mr. Alexander, no matter though they ! have lived in that county all their lives, ! always come out of the extensive i swamps and large wooded areas before nightfa'l. These are so endless that men who lived on the same plantations have been lost for two or three days at a time in them. i Mr. Alexander was impressed with ' the native cordiality of tho people or the county and their reception to strangers which, he said, was a uni form s-pirit displayed toward all visi tors co that county. The Mecklenburg man said that he ?.te dinner during the ten days he was in the county at as many different places and that at every on of them wild turkey was the fea ture of the hill of fare, turkey being about us common on the tables of the people of that section as bacon is here- PurcelPs Women's Garments' of Quality PurceTs A STIEFF PIANO FOR CHRISTMAS Pay a small amount down.
