J. S. HUTCHERSON, Atf.. Reidsville. SOME GAY BIRDS RAI'IENT WILL, RESEMBLE LILLIES OF THE FIELD. Back to the Old Style, Men Will be Able to Rival Women In Dress Display. If the lenders of men's fasmons arc to bo believed there promises to come soon tho most bizarre sodsi in mas culine raiment which the history of fashion has known since men laid aside knee -breeches, satin waistcoats and lace jabots. Men are going iu for colors anything but somber and cloth ing cuts anything but conventional. No less a personage than Frank A. Vamlcrllp. president of the National City bank of New York, led the rebel lion against conventionality In purple n i if 1 line linen, and this long before nn I tire began 'to turn leaves gay colors and suggest that rich red and brown ties are good to the eye. When-the Ing licncli seasou was at Its height Mr. Vanderllp uppcarcd at the Nassau . hotel wearing evening clothes of pure white serge,:-'Men In black dinner coats or blue scrgo with white flannel trousers sat up to take notice, but women followed after in admiration the full length of Long Beach's '"peacock alley. All JiyWhita The trousers were thes t regulation dress cut, and tho waistcoat followed .the usual V shaped lines; The rent of tho cont followed conventional lines, hut the back was quite sbort'aml point ed. White silk facings 'wrfe used on lapels' nnd collar, and1 white, linen, a white silk .bow tie and soft white leather shoes completed the makeup. Comfort cannot account for the strik ing design of the new evening clothes which Caruso, the tenor, Is wearing. These are made of royal purple broad cloth and cut upon conventional, lines, with tho silk braid stripe down the trousers legs. The coat Is cut a trifle smaller In the front, the better to dis play a startling waistcoat of old fash ioned brocade In flower patterns. With this Caruso wears a silk tie. Certain Victorian tendencies are shown in the fall fashions .for men, Waistcoats of gayest patterns and rich est fabrics are being offered at all the smart shops where apparel for men Is Rold. Many.. of the new cravats are; also large butterfly effects, but the! band around, the neck Is not quite so wide as In the Victorian period. The seal or eyeglass hung on a ribbon Is becoming quite a familiar adjunct of masculine dress especially among the older beans. Striking Color Combinations. But perhaps It Is more In color com bination than In fabric or cut that the masculine taste now runs to striking effects. Hosiery and cravats must uintcli to n nicety, In vivid blue, green and crimson, to say nothing of half n dozen striking shades varying from violet to deep purple. Sometimes the socks ore plain weave. In color match ing the silk tie. Again, the tic will be a solid color and the socks will show a paler shade of the same color, with a small figure or stripe matching the tie. A third combination shows a stripe, green and black or brown and green, so fine that both tie and hosiery look like old fashioned changeable silks of the Victorian age. New materials for waistcoats are gor geous In the extreme, nnd the once se date figure of conventional design 1s giving place to broad-stripes, Interlac Ing rings and even flowers, a bright figure on n neutral ground. Jewelry now matches the prevailing tone In neckwear, hosiery, suitor shirt. Often all features of the wardrobe correspond In color. A very popular color combination Is dull olive green with nn almost Invisible amethyst stripe in the fabric, lavender striped shirt nnd tie, .socks -matching the cuff links and nniethyst scarfpln. See those new diamond rings in Reed's window. The very latest settings..- 1 Minor's Fall Opening. Prettier and in more endless variety than ever. This was the uriairimous verdict of the great throng of ladies who visited Minor's opening Tuesday and Wednesday. The opening; displays at this favorite dry goods and millinery emporium are growing in popular- favor all the time. It is entirely within the bounds of reason to say that Minor has this autumn all the fads and fancies beautifully reflected in the stock on display. All the leading shades and styles are there and the ladies they , just hovered over those counters, ad mired, tried on and gave their orders from early morn until dewey eve, the scene being one of beauty and anima tion. Among the shapes that are at tracting most attention this year are perhaps the turbans, the Russian and beaver effects being especially strong. The large hats are dreams of picturesque lovlincss and largely of Moire, velvets anp bengaline silks. the trimmings are largely in fancy feathers, furs and flowers. But, it is worse than futile for prosaic man to attempt a description of this beautiful display of millinery. The ladies have had the opportunity of seeing for themselves just , what Dame Fashion lias decreed as the proper thing for this season. All the new shades and shades are shown, nol only in importations from the old world . but in pattern hats from Fifth Avenue and other fushion centres, as well as a great many creations from the store's own work rooms. Not only is the millinery department attracting Iha greatest attention but the cloak and suit department is also a popular branch of the establishment in connection with the opening. Many ucW and attractive garments are being shown. There is also a special showing of dress goods and trimmings and the ladies grew quite enthusiastic over the novelties in these goods. Reading Club Begins Work. The T. A. It. Club held its first meet ing- of the year with Mrs. McGehee on October ". A most interesting program was presented: "Introduction to American Literature," by Mrs. McGe hee; "Writers of the Colonial Period," by Mrs. Jimitpn Oliver, and ."Life of Benjamin, Franklin," by Miss Sallie McUehecl Mrs Oliver told us that the first original American poems were written by Anna Bradstreet, who was the grandmother of Oliver Wendell Holmes. Miss McGehee gave one or two interesting selections from Fran ti ling "Almanac." His life was a very interesting one, and his witty sayings will always be enjoyed. After the program, the guests were invited into the dining-room, where a delicious lunch was served. The table was decorated in white carnations and ferns, with silver candelabra holding white candles. Cards containing questions, the an swers to which were names of famous writers, were at each place, also a white carnation. The guessing, was very en joyable; and after many thanks to our president for so enjoyable an afternoon we said good-bye, to meet again on next Tuesday with Miss Sallie McGehee. Retires After 23 Years Service. Mr. W. T. Williams, affectionately known by the people all over Rocking ham county as "Uncle Billy," retired from the position of superintendent of the county home Wednesday after an almost continuous service of 23 years. He retired voluntarily, and has moved to a farm in the Lawsonville section where he will spend the balance of his life in quiet. "I'ncly Billy" was tho only official the county ever had who could hold on to his position regardless of which po litical party was in the saddle. His con duct of the affairs at the county home gave entire satisfaction to everyone, and no party dared turn him out of his position. He was a Democrat of the strictest sect, but he was so earnest and so oonscientiousin his espousal of Dem ocratic principles that he had the good will of everybody; - - - - Here's best wishes to "Uncle Billy" and hopingthat he may be spared many years to enjoy a life of peace and grat itude, and that he may have the .bless ed consciousness of having performed his every duty well and faithfu'ly. Mr. Layton Ford succeeds him as superintendent of the county home, and he has already entered upon the discharge of his new duties.

W. Brittain. a Model farm PENNSYLVANIA LINE WILL CONDUCT ONE An Expert in Charge Will Lecture at Granges and Farmers' Institutes. In line with tbe endeavors of the railroads east and west to develop tbe resources of the territory lying along and near their rights of way Is the establishment of a model farm by the Pennsylvania railroad nt Bacon, near Seuford, Del., ou the, Delaware rail road. The company recently purchas ed there a farm of fifty acres nud will conduct It us nu experimental station for the benefit of the farmers of the Mary land-Delaware-Virginia peninsula. It is believed that by exploiting the advantages of that section there will bo a marked Increase In the number of those who desire to pursue the work of farming. In the all of 100S James McCrea, president of the IVunsylvauin, made a three days' trip over the rallroud lines ou the peninsula. He saw thousands of acres In one of the richest agricul tural districts In the world idle, with adjoining farms flourishing and their products in grea demand In all of the largo markets of the middle, and east ern states. Success on Long Island Road. Knowing the success attained by the Long Island railroad with its two ex perimental farms, which have been in operation about four years, Mr. Mc Crea suggested that. a .-committee look into the natter of establishing an ex perimental farm on the peninsula, where the railroad could show, the agricultural possibilities of the laud. Tbe committee's report was favorable, and the railroad bought the farm at Bacon. According to the last census, there are 3,!M(!.800 acres of land on the pen insula, of which 2,0ri.S.'J',i9 acres are under cultivation. There are 28,35 farms on the peninsula, nnd it has a total population of 'about 000.000. To Induce more farmers to cultivate the l,8.r8,rj01 acres of Idle laud is one of the reasons for which the Pennsyl vania railroad is to undertake tho op eration of the experimental farm. The co-operation of the farmers, is already assured, ond the state agricultural col leges, agricultural boards and horticul tural societies arc'- enthusiastic sup porters of the project. It Is argued that points on the penin sula 100 miles smith of Wilmington nre, in point of transportation facili ties, as close to the markets of Rait f more, Philadelphia. .'Wilmington and New York as -the Long Island farms are to New York city. Tin; railroad officials say It Is possible for the farm ers to get their products into the large markets In excellent condition, De liveries are made hi one day In central Maryland and. Pennsylvania. Farmers' Immense Market. An Immense market Is enjoyed by farmers of Maryland and Delaware. It Includes practically all of the country cast of the Mississippi river, made pos sible by o preference freight train service that has created a wide de mand for fruits and vegetables grown on the Delaware-Mnryland-Ylrglnla peninsula. This demand Is greater now than can be met. and the railroad is taking steps to aid In Increasing the number of fanners to supply It. To develop lis experiment station tho railroad lias appointed as superin tendent H. S. Lippincotr. a. graduate of the-Agricultural college nt Cornell university. lie lias done practical farming at bis home in Burlington county, N. .1., and in North Carolina. Superintendent Lippincott has taken nn interest for years In experimental work, and lie intends to visit the granges and farmers' Institutes on the peninsula, that he may become person ally acquainted with the farmers from Wilmington to Capo Charles. lie will be prepared to make addresses, visit fairs nnd make exhibits of some of the products raised on the farm and thus demonstrate the Interest which the railroad Is faking,.

Night Riders in Stokes. That night rides, are holding forth in Stokes county was the information re ceived in Winston-Salem yesterday. No notices have been posted, do threats have been made and it is not believed that any organization is back of the movement, but it is a fact that a band of men have been visiting the barns at night where tobacco was being cured and "rocking" the buildings in an ef fort to frighten the farmers. They visited the barn of Mr. T. S. Boyles, who lives near King and .at tempted to frighten him. He wouldn't frighten, however, and they left! Last Thursday night they went again and began theii dirty work. Mr. Boyles was ready for them. lis had his gun. And he chased them away, firing at them. It is believed that he "winged" one, for following one of the shots, a suppressed sci'eam was heard. The details of the affair are scarce and could not be secured yesterday. It is not known what the object of the marauders is. It is possible that they are trying to keep the farmers from marketing their tobacco until the price advances. Again it is possible that it is merely a crowd of boys trying to have some "fun."-Winston Journal. Fair Prospect Bright. Plans for the great Danville Fair to bo held October 13-16 are progressing rapidly and everything points to a large attendance and a success from every standpoint. All of. the big exhibition buildings have been erected and are now being painted. The fence around tho ground has been completed, ' Indications are that all of the space will bo occupied, and to prepare for any emergency, tentative contracts have been made to enlarge the present build ings, if deemed necessary. Yesterday Manager Loyd received the signed contract from Ferrari's Big Wild Animal Show. Among the other contracts signed is one with the Moni tor and Merrimac shows, which call for two spaces, one 43 by 125 feet and the other 2 by 100 feet. This is the same show that was presented at the James town Exposition. Among other arrangements made for the comfort and convenience attending the fair is an agreement with all of the Woman's Christian Temperance Unions of "the city to keep rest rooms with couches tor the ladies. The Associa tion is having erected a building to be used as a dressing room for ladies, which will bo charge of competent col ored servants. Newspapers Help the Town. It ought to be a privilege to support the home paper instead of acting as it owes one a living. "There are some towns that would give many promises to secure a live publication, but as soon as the paper is launched, leave it to sub sist as best it can. The newspaper boosts everybod's business in its town. It never fails to advertise the advant ages of the community, and this adver tising helps every man in the town in directly. The best asset of any community are its newspapers. What would a com munity amount to if it did not have them? Could you imagine, Mr. Mer chant and Mr. Header, people flocking to a town to do their trading who had no opportunity of judging the town by its publications? How much business would you get if the local newspapers were not constantly boosting home en terprises? How long would you remain out of the bankruptcy courts if your neighbor did not help support your home papers? As we see the the matter, it is to the interest of every man in the community to help with his subscription, his busi ness and his influence the local papers. They help you. They help the town. Winston Journal. Mr. Rawley Galloway has gone to Winston-Salem for a visit to his rela tives. His condition is steadily im proving and we trust he will soon be entirely well from the effects of typo'd fever with which he recently suffered. ST. LOUIS GROWS1 CHANGES MADE Iljf CENTURY EXISTENCE OF CITY. . Once a Littlement, is Now the Country's Fourth City In -Population. St. Louisana are rejoicing at present over the completion of the first century of their city's incorporated existence. Naturally the thing that gives them the greatest joy is the comparison of the growth of tbe Missouri metropolis from u' little settlement to the splen did position of fourth among American cities. St. Louis now rauks after New Tork. Chicago and Philadelphia. St. Louis has always been noted for its chic pride. But as lu 1809 St. Louis had less than 200 bouses it Is not easy to understand now hw its lead ing citizens could meet on iije corners of its only two thorougjifnres and dis cuss It then as one of the most impor tant towns In the country. This some of them certainly did. They, left the record of their prophecies to be read now, when in tbe last ten years about half a million more people have come Into the United States across tho . At lantic than the total number of "the American people" in the year after St. Louis was first incorporated. Had Good Opinions of Themselves. With not quite 7,250,000 people in the United States and not quite a thou sand of them in St. Louis a hundred years ago, they were certainly the most important people in the world then. Even then the world suspected it. It was almost convinced that they could "take care of themselves" and build up their country. There is no doubt of it left when, with over 80,000, 000 people In the United States, St. Louis in one year of its twentieth cen tury growth has spent over $20,000,000 for new buildings. This Is several mil lions in cash more than the total amount of cash in the United States in 1800. In the St. Louis of 1809 the visitor by walking up one street and down an other could see every house in the town in less than an hour. It would be a strange world to return to, but some might still be charmed with it. There was no roar and no rattle In it or iu a thousand miles of it. There might have been so many as half a dozen coaches or family carriages of the kind George Washington used to ride in. but they were used only on state occasions. The two 'wheeled charette, or French cart, drawn by a single Canadian pony, satisfied the speed mania lu business during the week and sufficed for most people's pleasure on holidays. The very first of the first colonial families of the town used one of these" same carts while It was In process of arriving. It had ucquired a carriage in 1809 with out becoming ashamed of the cart or of the neighbors who still sat In It, with the blouse of the driver worn over his trousers If he wore trousers in 1809. ," v Wore Breeches, Not Trousers.. In -that year gentlemen of the best breeding aud family still thought trou sers undignified. They wore breeches, uot "pants." The breeches still had sliver buckles at the knees, and the shoes hud silver buckles. There were still old school gentlemen of great dignity who wore their dress swords wheu they promenaded in public. (.Jen tlemen of the Jeffersouian school fol lowed the "Jacobin" fashion of wear ing trousers with legs long enough to fall over their shoe tops, and the fash ion was gaining fast. It was supposed In some mysterious way to stand for liberty, fraternity and equality, and some Federalist gentlemen of the old school held out In their knee breeches against It as long as possible on that account. But they were not too haughty to stop on the corner and beg the lat est news from some one who Tiad" be come prominent by getting a letter three weeks old from Philadelphia or New York, The man who knew, tbe latest national politics was a promi nent man even if It bad been a month coming by mail from Philadelphia, They thought two weeks long enough to wait for a mall, but if tbey had to wait a month they enjoyed the news all the more when It came, Not Much Excitement Then. , With no payed streets, no water works, ho street lights, no Bteam whis tles, no phonographs, no living picture shows and nothing modern to excite It during the day, the town snulTod out its tallow candles soon after dark and went to sleep. It seldom grew as much excited about anything whatever as it now does every day on Broad way during the baseball season when the score is being bulletined. The greatest business excitement was seeu when some one caught the noise of songs and shoul Ing as it fleet of keel boats and ennoes returned from the Missouri er the Arkansas after six months rr more of trading.
