The Unioyt Shoe Company has ju3t received a very elegant line of shoes for men and women. The display in their how case is the prettiest we have seen. They certainly believe in keeping strictly up-to-date in the shoe business. Don't buy jour shoes until you have seen this Jine line of shoes. Some have asked why a maintenance fund is necessary to keep up the library. This fund pays insurance and repairs on ihwbnilding, furnishes tire lights, water and fires, employs the jiuitorto sweep .And clean the building and the Libiarian to attend to the books, see that the rules Are observed and to assist you in finding the book you any need. '* ? ? The Company Gels The hand at hast. We understand that Mr. J. AnderKU Brown secured an option on the r. Moore property, including the flynn lota, sold and unsold, and that Ihe has sinco sold the property to the Union Cotton Mills. Mr. Duncan will now clear up the property and grove and beautify it. It has for Nt been an eyesore in front of the e, but that wjdl soon bo a thing of I put. Mr. Brown is one 01 wi< finaet real estate men wfi ever ran ferose.

Yes, tho farmer, or rather tho country folk, are misrepresented, by many writers, aud becauao, they do uot kuQ<v how to write about them, I reckon. The country people are not the ccn'se, vulgar, Useless, uncultured, unre fined and ignorant that some fpuld make them appear, and few meii there f^re who work their wi/esard daughters like b'h^ci while they, the men, loaf. On the fa\ m, one can see the ver due of nature, bear all kinds of birds singiog, various iueocta singing, have the horse?, mijM, cattle, swine, and all kinc's of poultry to h* interested in, though some trouble to attend to, but we are paid, for wo can have all | thejo without hiring or buying (and j the nteu cua tako tl;e pirIs to r'd i j behitd their owu animal If they 1 ? f.

Bight outside the yard, cr a little further ell' in that body of woods are many, cr right down yonder where the brook is rippliDg along you will find them, they can cros3 the creek on a foot log, tramp further and s ill find them. The birds will be cheering you on the way. Then comes wild berries from June to December. We have much to be proud of. B )th the country and towns (or cities) have advantages, somo prefer one and some another, but wc should not "turn up our nosss" at either, it is vulgar, but as that girl said let there bo "no visible line" between the cjunlry and tne town iuiK8. i Jiae tno town folks, most all that I know, and these ire quite a number. And the country paoplo 1'ke to see the town people 2om8 out into the country, for even a ihort while, and I balievo they are ilway3 treated right. The country girls know when one is "behaving" and when the town * boys" ere in the country they are treated very nice by the girls. Sometimes we are almost ra? do to be jealous and have to fight the monster. Wonder if the town g'rls are as considerate of the feelings of the country boys when in their companv, as the country girls are of others. Very few country girls are the "hoity-toity" kind who tries to bo an "Eillo Tower," or who does not knew their acquaintnice or recogriijn them when they meet, or pass them, though you may Si:d somj who appear to be so.

Hey Denver. ?^ Millinery Opening Day. Yc-sterJay was "opening dn?" at tbe Mutual, at McLures and at the Company Store. Mi-s Tinsley will have her display later. AVe hi d gone around to see j these visiorsot loveliness and written up a nice long article about Hum when the foreman culhd ^ut too much copy on hand. Then came u j .b of trying to cut out something soas to make room for at least a mention of the openings The Mutual was a* vision of loveliness from the fiool doer to the miliineiy department. Ttie trimmings, drapeiis, palms, ferns and beautiful drrss g. odwere arranged in the most artistic and cotcliy manner, and crowds of people, the ladies predominating, were throng inn me aioic an uay uiKing m Use pretty sight. The decorations of the millinery department were in keeping with the excellent taste to be found in the front, and acme sixty-odd hats of every conceivable shape and design suitable for the teas.n were attractively arranged about the room. 'J he floral decotatious were suburb. We cannot, enter into a description of the hat*. Suflice it to say there were a large number of beaut ies trimmed in a very artistic manner and vei y stylish. Miss Thorn assisted by Misses 1 ticks ai d WiHie were kept quite busy showing these deauties to their lady vistto.s It would take a column to give a write up of the display iu this one mammo'.h store. McLuro had a very attractive display of millinery, and one of the prettiest show windows we have s^en. Crowds have been congregating all day before this window. Iu the rear is the millinery department where you can flnd all the latest, nobbiest and stylish hats on , display. The decorations, w hile not so j elaborate, are vepy F?dty and anistically arranged. Red and white are the colors while natural fl >wers with a big lunch of sweet violets lends a delicious perfume to ths room. The pretty display of hats was arranged about the room to produce the best effeot and the whole presented a pretty picture, with a hoop ^v.vum ?i Mitruui or 10s: s near tho ceilfng from which red and w hite streamers reached to Ilia shelviug around tha room while pretty riblpns foil from tho center to the it or, Miss Fannie Clark, assisted by Miss Maggie Sp are, is in cha'ge of t his department There was a nice display of wash goods in front but the rush of customers soon hud this in confusion. At the Union .Cotton Mills Depart-j uaeut Store, Miss Foy, of New York, I was in charge, assisted by Mos Ada Hancock, had .been so busy selling hats that they opty had time to get a few of their bemttih.J hats on di-play. They have sfimo chai using creations, and what are or, display are about as pretty as we ever A&w, tUuy weie not only showing them hut selling them. They were as Wusy as bees when wo called. There were several beautiful white creations that were irresistible, besides one or two imported beauties that will make some of the ladies envious when thpy see theip \yotn by others who got there first.
