Jolley, who lives in the lower part of this county, is certainly a soon er; that is, he would sooner live a niar ried life than a single one. One week ago last Sunday Mr. Jolley's wife (lied and the following day (Sunday) she was buried. A notice of her death, it will be remembered, was published in tne last issue of this paper. Before the sounds of his wife's fuller al dirge had fairly died out Mr. Jolley engaged the services of a young man of the neighborhood to assist him in worning his way into the good graces of a certain young lady, with a view to obtaining her hand in m;'narriage. But it seepzs that the assistant worked too slow in the matter. At any rate, the prospects for roping the girl in did not look very bright, and as the week grew on Jolley grew anxious. When Satur day morning caine he shaved himself, greased his shoes and donned his Sun day go-to-meeting toggery and said he was going to start out in search of a wife and would not return until he found one. With a peach blossom pin ped on the lapel of his coat, he mount ed his horse and departed, feeling as gay as a militia dragoon going to a county fair. Before Mr. Jolley had proceeded very far lie spied a young lady in a collard patch gathering some greens for dinner. She was alone. The premises were un occupied and a half mile distant from any inhabited spot. The opportunity could not have been more propitious. Mr. Jolly dismounted and approached the maiden. The balmy spring sun shone down with peculiar softness upon the man and the maiden as they stood alone, face to face, in the garden, while the azure-hued harbinger of spring-tin:e fluttered and twittered anlong the long stem collards, adding sweetnless anld ro malIce to the occasion. Mr. Jolley ac quaintedl the girl with his business. The. maiden smiled, but said it was 110 use. A inlute later the matrimnonial candI date, with the ends of his mnarrow bones buried inl the collard-patch, hlis hands clasped in front of him and his eyes fastenled upon the blushinlg counl tenlance of the girl, plead with her pit eously for p)ermhissionl to go for the par son. 'Then the collards hung their heads ill shame and the blue-birds left in disgust. The young lady declared thlat she must hlurry back homne and fix dinnler, and she- did so, leaving Mr. Jolley to pull his knlees out of the mud and pursue his journey. He tackled several young ladies of the neighbor hood dur'ing the day on tihe subject, but was compelled to return home at night the same lonely widower that lIe wats when he left in the miorning. Bright and early Sunday morning he redoubled his energies anid set out in a new direction. .In his mneanderings about the country that dlay he chanced to stop ill at Mr. Elijah Brownl's. The old folks were attending church at Oak Grove, and Miss Julia, tile flushing (aughter, was found alonle. This was pie for Jolley. Services at the church were kept up rather later than usual that day. and as the hours wore away Jolley v-as gettinlg ill his work. It was the first timle they had mlet, but Jolley, being nlatulrally~ of a romianitie turni of mlind, thought thlat love at first sight would lbe as good as anly; or at least that it would beat 1n0 love at all. And so1 dhid Miss .Julia, for before the old folks returnedI fromi church she had uttered thlat "oneC sweet word" ves. ~Filially the parenits returned, and tile gallant widower genltly broke to thlemI tile news. It struck the family circle like an earthquake, but the-shoek was onlymomnentary. After thinking over it they conlsentled to the union. Mr. Jolley l(ost no time in straddling his horse and, und(er whip) anid spur, left inl searchl of a. mnister. Later ill theafternoon lhe returned ,aecomlpanLied by Rev. WX. E. Hic~ks, and1( thent anld there tIle samle mnister who, oneC week previous had officiated in the burial ceremionies of H. J. Jolley's wife, p)ut his official seal upon tihe mlatrimnonial unllion of H{. J. Jolley anld Julia Brown. The Revenne Reduction.
