/ The Problem of a Tired Mother. ^7 ( T^ie funny papers have told, / time and again, how it makes a ' man feel to be shut up alone with the children even for a few hours* It’s no wonder that nerve troubles attack the mother for she has the children all the time. How can she help being nervous, especially while the little ones are making such con* slant drafts on her Energy ? No woman can endure the strain of her housework and two or three little ones unless her digestive powers are of an unusual order. She can’t man* ufacture force enough to stand the strain. We can suggest one thing that will surely help her and it isn’t a drug poison either. It Is Vinol, made by a remarkable j new process from that wonder ful remedy, cod liver oil, a true tonic. Money back if you don’t find this true. CHEROKEE DRUG CO DRUGGISTS William 8. Mali., .Ik. .iamks A. Willis. HALL & WILLIS, AT TORN BY8 AT LAW, STAK THEATKK BLDG. o y. a. c;. Notary Public in office.

Box Every woman admires pretty din ner gowns, and every jwoman should make it a point to look as charming as possible on sucii occasions as call for a gathering around the festive board. Our illustration shows a dinner gown fashioned of pastel-blue voile. The blouse waist is gathered to a deep yoke, embroidered with Corticelli filo silk in a spreading flower design, and the odd garniture that frames the yoke and extends down the front consists of black vel vet diamonds edged with narrow sil ver braid. The vest is made of nar row folds of voile and the tucked sleeves spring out into puffs ending r - 7/ . w in rufiles. The skirt ;is adorned with clusters of horizontal tucks and com pleted with a Vandyck-pointed flounce handsomely embroidered with Cort celli filo silk to match the yoke, falling over a gathered under-flounce of pastel-blue chiffon. The belt is of black velvet fastening with a silver buckle iu front. Entire lace blouses are.still^fashion- able, though some models show a lustrous doth or silk combined, this being noticeable when the blouse is to be worn with a skirt made of the same material as that used with the lace. Long basques or skirts of the lace, having the edges finished with the cloth or silk, are an innovation on some of these models. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Mrs. Landy Hames, of Union, is spending this week with her sister, Miss Inez Surratt, ft ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Miss lone Littlejohn has returned home, having been away three months teaching.

He said farmers were getting low-spirited on account of the con tinued rains and he, like the others, was wishing for dry weather, but was not despondent, for last year he hauled his first load of fertilizer to his farm on the 9th day of April and finished planting his cotton on the 29th, that he never made a better crop in his life, and the last be plant ed made the best crop. He also stated that he planted his first corn last year on the 15th of May. He planted it on unland and made as good crop as he ever did in his life. He said under no circum stance would he plant any of his main crop of corn before the tenth of j May. We insert the above because Mr, Black is a practical and successful ' farmer who every year makes his hog and hommany at home and as much cotton to the plow as any man in Cherokee.
