Women Painters and Sculptors, a group
of small bronzes loaned by the Gor

Valley;" Mary N. McCord by "Portu
gese Quarters;" Martha Walters by

"The Novitiate," and Anna Fisher by
an unusually good "Moonlight."- There
are two still lite studies of special note,
"Roses and Violets," by K. Harden
bergh, and "The Turquoise Vuse," by
Alice Tucker. The latter has a rare
quality with a rich combination of color
so much enjoyed by the modern painter.
Ellen Emmet Band has one of her por
trait studies.
Among the paintings loaned by local
patrons are, "The Brook," by J. IT.
Carlson; "Mackerel Fishing1 Boats," by
Hayley Lever; "The Brass Cleaner' by

These furs, though contracted for months ago, have just been delivered and represent the latest fash
ions in a season in which furs are admittedly supreme. They are perfect pelts, carefully selected and
in no way to be compared to the average "summer sale" furs.
We guarantee the savings are exactly as represented; We guarantee the quality of every piece.
Our latest information from the markets is that all furs have again advanced from 20 to 25 . When
we duplicate these furs our prices will have to be considerably higher. We know of no merchan
dise which is so certain to advance and which is a safer or saner investment than a handsome
piece of fur bought in this sale.
The collection includes: Coats, Coatees, Capes, Stoles, Collarettes, Scarf s, Throws, Muffs
and Beautifully Modeled Sets. Developed with rare taste by skilled furriers of Hudson Seal,
Lynx, Beaver, Nutria, Fox, Squirrel, Mole, Mink, Sable, Martin, Wolf, Muskrat and other
fashionable pelts. ' ' r , .
Now is fur buying time if you want to choose from broad assortmentsif you desire superior
quality if you consider a saving of 20 worth while this sale is a golden opportunity.

mahogany. Kverythlng In the republic
Is equally aa cheap as those articles
named, and as a consequence nobody
has to worry over the high cost of
living. .
Incidentally, Cant. Fagan declares
that a marine officer assigned to the
Haitian army Is the highest paid mili
tary officer In the world. The base
pay of a captain In the marine corps is
$2,400 per year, but the additional pay
received from the Haitian government
brings this to J5.400 per year. A few
years' service In the Haitian army,
with living costs as low as they are
would class marine officers along with
John D, and Henry Ford, so far as
shekels are concerned.

JOE SMITH ALMOST
FORGOT HIS CATTLE
Joe R. Smith, Jr., of Fayettevtllc,
Timii,, came down to the fair with a
fancy bunch of white-faced cattle and
full of enthusiasm about them. And
well might he be proud to clean up so
many ribbons In such strong competi
tion, for It was a Clans A-l show for
Herefords as well as Durocs. But ho
strolled amund to the hog show ring,
foil In with C. It. Hmlth. Tom King,
Tom James, Pr. Crlslor, W. K. Herrin
and K. R, McKnlght.
Now it so happens -that Mr. Rmlth
keeps a pack of 35 fox dogs, and some
how or othor If there be three fox
hunters In a crowd of 1,000 men, the
three, although strangers, soon will be
.together. And so It was Tuesday night.
It was not 20 minutes before one of the
dogs had struck, and for an' hour there
was a series of mental fox chases
around the arena, and Mr. Smith forgot
what his white-faced cattle had won.
