JUNIOR LEAGUE.—A number of the
friends and well wishers of the
Rattenbury St. Tunior League attend-
ed the Sociable given by them on
Friday evening.. The President, Miss
Ethel Doherty, made a graceful and
efficient chairman, and in her report
showed an increase of fifty members
since the League was organized eight
months ago. The abundant supply of
refreshments demonstrated one of the
practical sides of Junior enthusiasm—
and the following programme—the fact
that brain and heart are also given to
the work :—Recitation, Don't X cie Tell,
Norman Webb ; Duet, Vira Hey*ood,
Jennie Shannon ; Recitation, Borrow-
ed, Elva Potts ; Recitation, The Dying
Missionary, Floretta Stevenson : Duet,
Clara Holmes, Aletha Foster ; Recita-
tion, God's Wife, Flora Cunningham ;
Duet, Grace Sheppard, Blanche Mc-
Keown ; Recitation, The Countersign,
Olive Helyar, Miss Eva Cooper acting
as Organist. Miss and Master Shan-
non added much to the pleasure of the
evening by giving two selections on
the Guitar. The Rev. Mr. Holmes
gave a brief address. The proceeds
amounted to over $5.5(1
FRow NEW ORLEANS. --The following
are a few extracts from a letter
recently received from Wellesley
Whitely, formerly of Clinton, now
of New Orleans, to this friends
here, which may he interesting to
some of our readers. After referring
to the annoyances incidental to the
pesky mosquitoes even at this time of
the year, he says :—I go to the Presby-
terian church, and doubtless you would
have laughed, as 1 did, could you have
seen the usher walkingup and down
the aisle fanning himsef with a palm -
leaf fan covered with a big advertise-
ment, in large letters, reading," Smoke
and Chew King Bee Tobacco." But
everything goes in New Orleans. Near-
ly every nation is represented here,
you see on the streets Turks, Greeks,
Americans, English, Dutch, French,
Chinese, Japanese, etc., and matey of
them in their national costumes. Half
of the city is French, and is called "the
old town." The modern part is mostly
settled by English speaking people.
The quantity of oysters consumed here
is enormous; they grade the streets
with the shells and when freshly spread
on they emit a very spicy ,pdor. The
old part of the town is very ancient
looking indeed, ani appears quite a
century behind the times. Most of the
buildings have colonades and fancy
porticos. City government is had, pro-
bably as corrupt as that of New York
or Chicago, or even Toronto " the
good." The mayor and over half the
aldermen and city officials have been
indicted, some convicted and the trials
of others pending. One official fatally
shot another a few days ago over cer-
tain disclosures. One big piece of job-
bery was in the construction of large
iron towers for elevated railway pur-
poses. They cost between two and
three millions of dollars and are worse
than useless, as they are, a standing
menace to the lives of the citizens, be-
ing liable to topple over at any time.
The streets are in worse condition than
I ever saw those of Clinton, especially
the crossings.

About two months ago We placed an order
for a line of Fancy Metal Belt Buckles, of
American manufacture. They were bought
for the corning spring trade, but we stipulat-
ed that if at all possible delivery was to be
before Xmas, as they are very suitable for
holiday gifts, they arrived on Wednesday
last.
They are American goods, made from a
white metal. Will not tarnish, are strong,
and as far as appearance goes, not to be dis-
tinguished from sterling silver. The designs
are new, tasty and pretty, just what will be
shown for next spring and suminer.
We also have Black and White all Silk
Belting in two widths to Wire buckles.
The Buckles sell at 25c, 50c, 75c, 85c. The
Belting, 2 inch 28c ; 22 inch 35 cents.
If desired, you may select your Buckle
any color of Ribbon or the Belting, and we
will make the kelt complete.
Belts are worn now, and will bo worn
next spring. One of these would be an ex-
ceptionally nice Xmas gift.
To all appearances the same as sterling
silver, at less than one quarter the cost.
