injured in an aocident at Belmar,
N. J. This was the first known
of accident here, and Mr. London
has endeavored to get particulars
from the North all evening, but
at 6 :30 o'clock had received no

Mrs. John R. London, and was
well and favorabN known here.

Mrs. John R. London, of Rock

visit to Mrs. Fitts'.and it is feared

"The garter fastenings worn on
the arms by the women in connection
with Ions gloves has led
some Milwaukee ministers to severely
denounce its use, one declaring
that it makes arms look
like other limbs. All the same,
women like to be noticed and admired,
and the arm garter holds
prominent place,-Augusta Argu<*.
What a shocking admission !?
What business have these ministers
to know what the "other
limbs" look like ? Hut there is
no telling the length to which the
clergy will go in the investigation
of a subject in which they are interested.
We suggest, however,
with great dillidence, that either
the Milwaukee minister, had a
poor sense of proportion, or the
proportions of the "other limbs"
they had in their mind's eye were
but poorly developed. Hut, of
course, the clergy know more
about th?R subject than we do.?

The Agitation for a Cout ,
Fair?Idea by no Meani, ,
Abandoned.
From the Kershaw Era.
The county lair, so strongly
urged by the Lancaster News
and the Era, has tailed to ma
terialize for this year, but the
project should not be abandoned.
It should be kept agitated until
it becomes an assured fact. We
can think of nothing that would
be more successfully in bringing
together once a year the people
from all parts of the county,
and such an annual meeting of
all the people would result iu
bringing them into a closer bond
of sympathy ami relationship
wl'li each other. Besides this,
an exhibition of products of the
soil, stock and manufactures
would promote attention to the
production of the very best.
Hut spasmodic and disjointed
effort will never result in a fair
being held in the county and we
would like to see some of the
leading spirits of the county take
hold in earnest and push such
an enterprise to successful completion.
We are sure that much
good would result from it.
Exchange of School BooksInstructions
by Supt. Martin.
State Superintendent of Education
Martin has issued a circular
letter of instruction to
oanty superintendents of education,
calling attention to section*
of the text book contract. The
letter is as follows :
My Dear Sir: Allow rae to
call your attention to sections 5
and 10 of the text book contract.
The publishers agree to take all
text books of any series, or of
any edition, in the hands of pupils
in exchange. The only re
strict ion is that the book must
have been in use during the year
1906, and of course it must be
ol like grade and upou the same
| subject a* the one for which it
is given in part payment. This
means,of course,that books which
are in use in the schools may be
exchanged. The ret ail and exchange
' prices printed in our
bulletin of 16 pages are official.
A careful reading of the contract
and other matter in the
bulletin will enable you to an
swer almost any question which
may arise.
I hope that you will exercise
supervision over the subdepod
tories, and see that they understand
the contract.
Sincerely yours,
(> H. Martin,
State Supt. Education.

Should we not at least wear good garments on the
outside ? The outside is the part the people see first
when we meet them. She who wears a good "outside"
is the one who is more apt to get on the "inside."
Looks help. Besides, its a comfortable feeling
for one's self to get into a warm feeling, good
looking over-garment about this time of the year.
Do you not need an over-garment ? Our prices will
