Ellison & Co., of Liverpool, on the past cotton season, and by Latham, Alexander at Co. on the same subject. The crop report of the New York Commercial and Fi? nancial Chronicle is, also, included. This work is very valuable to all handlers of cotton and to the news? papers in editorial work. The publishers should ?>e thanked Members of County and Local Unions Take Notice.

No more appropriate costuming has been seen on the stage in recent years than that presented by Florence Da? vis in the successful comedy drama, A Question of Husbands." The cos tumes have been selected with a due and well conceived appreciation of what may be called the ethics of dressing. This Is also true of the stage properties, all of which are owned by Miss Davis, and provided especially for her personal purposes. They are elaborate to a degree so far as relates to their application in the unthreading of the plot and they aid in properly depicting the actual scenes In such a manner that She scenes themselves are practically created into a fact. The acting of Mise Davis, who is a handsome woman both on and off the stage, has been invariably commend ed. This is especially the case in Question of Husbands," wherein the naturalness of her interpretation is the greatest charm. The dressings and stage properties in the play wherein Miss Davis Is the Whcn^lSnce your buildings are painted with GIBRALTAR PAINTS. (IN ALL COLORS.)
