I contend that the opposite is true. In ycur letter you request that 1 give you some specific information. I call your attention to the fact that Elbert II.

Ross wish to extend their thanks to the people of the town for their kindness during the illness of their little son Clarence Henrv Davis, a colored man was knocked down and badly injured, Saturday night, Nov. 27th trying to cross the track in front of the 6:30 train as it slowed down coming to the station. He was taken to Dr. Edgar Longs office where his injuries were attended to, and on Sunday morning he was taken to the hospi tal at Rocky Mount where he is being cared for. One leg was broken be sides other severe injuries. From very recent accounts he is rapidly improving. A large gathering of folks, al sizes, from the wee little ones to the "(rmwn-nns" were entertained last o - x Friday nght, Dec. 3rd., at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Billie Hurst, in hon or of Mr. Hursts' 55th birthday. Music by Miss McLean and singing by the young people also a violin and banjo duet by Messrs. Whit Hyman and John Brown were enjoyed by all. Refreshments were served at 10:30 at the home made candy was exceed ingly good. Messrs. J. W. and J. L. Hines spent dark green duvetyn, was made with flounced skirt and flaring peplum on the coat. A wide soft collar of dark fox and a barrel muff of fox accom panied the suit. Other effective de tails were the matching spats, the New York's social season is in full swing; it opened in a blaze of glory with the swinging bak of the Met ropolitan's doors late in November. This first night, as always drew the usual brilliant, opera-going audience wonderfully gowned id the soft shade so much favored for formal evening wear this winter. The white throats beautifully dressed hair, and gleam ing jewels distracted the attention more than once of even the dyed in- the-wool music lovers who are us ually immune to clothes when Caruso is to be heard. THE FAVORED PALE TINTS Among the prevailing shades worn by the gorgeous "first-nighters" were Dink, blue and white with here and there a stunning black frock, or one of vivid emerald green. This shade of green is an exception to the rule of white, or pastel shades, now so modish; there were several entire gowns in this shade at the opera and the most striking and artistie cos tume noticed at the Horse Show, some weeks earlier, was also of this green. It is wonderfully becoming to a woman with white hair and a youthful face.

When the coat is made of cloth; it may contrast with or match the frock One notices a box-back now and then h it the belt in some form is most generally favored. tJuttons are at tractive trimming, in novelty metals gold filigree, nickel, and the like. The majority of these coats are made with normal shoulders and set m sleeves al tough there are many rig- lan model. One especially pretty coat was of brocaded brown leather. Several leather costumes were no ticed at the Horse Show one after noon; they were worn by mannequins from one of ovr large dressmaking nsfshlisihir.ents. and created au'.te a bit of comment. Leather suits are a novelty and as sucn nre attractive, but in all probability they will not become popular with the general run of people. Scotland Neck Furniture Co. Cash or Credit Scotland Xcck.
