I stopped for the night at a house overlooking the Cumberland river near its source in Kentucky, says a writer in the Detroit Free Press, and after supper I had taken a seat on the front porch and was talking with the owner of the house, and my host temporarily. "Is the young lady who waited on the table your daughter?" I inquired after a short and desultory colloquy 011 the crops. "Yes; purty likely gal, ain't she?" he answered, with a fatherly pride. "Very handsome; much more so than most of the girls I have seen in this section," I answered frankly. He pulled his chair over closer to mice in a confidential way. ''Do you Udow much about gait?*' he inquired almost in a whisper. "Some little by observation. I've known a good many during a long and more or less eventful life in that respect/' ' Did you notice anything out of the way about my gal?" "Not that I can recall."' "Didn't notice that she was kinder fergitful and awkered?" "No." "Xer quiet like without much to say to nobod)?" "I noticed she didn't talk much." "Ner hadn't," he corroborated, "fer'a week or two. Didn't strike you that she had a wonderin' in her mind, did sht?" "No." "Ner a handkerin' after somethin' that wuzu't in sight?" _ "No" "That's odd you didn't," he said with a puzzled expression: "me and the old woman has been a noticin' it ^ f pr fpn dnva nr mnrp." o ''We ain't riglit shore," he whispered, "but the symptoms, is powerful like she wuz a goin' to be took down 'r I with matrimony.

Let the farmers, pes essed of fore i sight, energy and business tract te 1 consider the value of the wheat crop I 0.

With several roller mills in the county and a large one nearly ready to j grind in the city, wheat will demand j cash almost as readily as cotton, j The ambition of the farmer is to biing his cotton crop up to a oOO j bale to the acre. The same land i properly prepared will make 20 to 30 bushels cf wheat. It requires a man and horse two days to prepare the land and put in one acre of wheat. It takes six times as much labor to plant, cultivate and gather a cotton crop as it does wheat. The wheat land will also produce a late corn and pea crop and with the addition of a little I manure, the land will be improved. Let the farmers consider this question from a business stand point. With these mills going up, wheat will bring ready cash. How He Lost His Job. An exchange tells the story of an old colored man who asked a white man if he could give bim work. The white man asked the Negro if he had I a boat. When the Negro replied, "Yes, boss,'1 the white man respond ed: "Well, you see all that driftwood floating down the river!'' "Yes, sab," was the reply. "Well, then," continued the white man, "you row out in the river and catch that driftwood, and I'll give you half you get. The colored man worked hard for a while, when all of a sudden he stopped and pulled for the shore. On being asked the reason for his return, he replied, "Dat wood is jest as much mine as 'tis his. I ain't gwine to give him any, and so I'm out of work agin." A Naval Hero's Story. From the Times Herald, Chicago, 111. Late in 1SG1, when President Lincoln issued a call for volunteers, L. J. Clark, of Warren, Trumbull Co., Ohio, was among the first to respond. He joined the mortar fleet of Admiral Porter just before the memorable operations on the Mississippi River began. It wa9 at the terrific bombardment of the Yicksburg forts that the hero of this story fell with a shattered arm from a charge of i schrapnel. After painful months in the hos- | pital, he recovered sufficiently to be sent to his home at Warren, Ohio. Another call for troops fired his patriotic zeal and Clark soon enlisted in Company H. of the 7th Ohio Volunteers. In tne army or ine Potomac, he was in many engagements. Being wounded in a skirmish near Richmond, he was sent to the hospital and thence home. A WOUNDED HERO. Soon afterward he began the study and then the practice of veterinary j surgery. Seeking a wider field than J the Ohio village afforded, he went to | Chicago where he now has a wide ! practice, is a member of Hatch Post. | G. A. R. and lives at 4935 Ashland Ave. Several years ago Dr. Clark's old wounds began to trouble him. He ! grew weak and emaciated, and his . friends despaired of his life. He finally recovered sufficiently to be i out but was a mere shadow, weighing only 00 pounds. The best medi ; j cal attendance failed to restore his i j lost strength and vigor, i "A friend gave me a box of Dr. ! Williams' Pink Pill9 for Pale People," i said Dr. Clark, "and they helped me | so much that I bought a half dozen | boxes and took them. I soon re! gained my strength, now weigh 100 . j pounds and, except for injuries that , j can never be remedied, am as well es , i ever. I 1 j "I consider Dr. Williams' Pink . I Pills for Pale People the bett rem3 ! edy to build up a run down system, j and heartily recommend them to - | everyone in need of such aid." )ODS t, t:es., lage. Prompt and P Delayed Locals.

Oar Trip to the Sand Hills Having spent the most of the year ! at the case sticking type, we availed ' ourself tf a slack in work last week ! to visit our old fii-hing grounds in ; the lower portion of the county and for several days our party feasted ; upon the delicious fibh which have; made' the waters of Black creek and j Edisto river famous the county over. Unlike most fifhermen, we landed the biggest fish while the "small fry" j escaped from our hooks. The crops in the section which we ! visitel were all fine, especially corn and peas, and large crop9 have been harvested and housed. The people in that section are all hard working ; and industrious farmers who live at j home and board at the same place, j They are good livers and very gener- | ous and hospitable. The corn crop of Mr. Paul Clark is deserving of special mention. He ; has about an acre in corn which for luxuriance and fruitage surpasses j anything that we have seen. He ; believes in the intensive system cf farming?that is he has found from i experience and practice that the best | results can be obtained by reducing the acerage and manuring it highly, j He is progressive in his business affairs and practical in his ideas, j therefore he is successful. Meeting cf County Board cf Com-! missioners. We believe that the law makes it j obligatory for Magistrates to submit | their books to the County Board of Commissioners for (xarnioation. This : provision of this law has net been fully complied with, and at the meet- i ; -c a. r> j 1. l? a. lug Ol me xiuuru iusl ?tea. umjr iijc books of three of the Magistrates were submitted to the Board, conse- j quently all Magistrates who fail to have their books before the Board at { the January meeting will be reported | to the grand jury who will institute i legalproeeedings. A word to the wise i is sufficient. During the session of the Board there was a lively discussion over the claims of Magistrates for : holding inquests over dead bodies, Coronor Craps claiming the fees { where inquest are held within fifteen miles of thecourthouseasthe law did not warrant Magistrates holding inquests within that radius, and only in j exceptional cases of an extraordinary nature anywhere in the county.

Thomas, is desitious of obtaining a complete roster of the State troops or reserves who served in the civil war, so as to embrace them in his report to the General Assembly. | There were about eight regiments of these troops, making eighty companies. There are now on tile in his office about fifty companies of this class. There were two companies from this count}: One commanded by Dr. "Bill" Geiger, and the other by Capt. Tom Quattlebaum. Have the rolls of these companies been sent in. For Less Honey, ? Chief Justice Waite, who delighted to tell legal stories, says the Chiacgo Times-Herald, once told this story about Evaits and Conkling: Roscoe ConkliDg came into Mr. i Ev&rtb' office one dav, when he was i a young lawyer, in quite a nervous state. "You seem to be very much excited, Mr. Conkling," said Mr. I Evarts, as Itjscoe walked up and j down the room. ' Yes. I am Drovoked?I am pro I Yoked," said Mr. Cockling. "I never I had a client dissatisfied about my | fee btfore." "Well, what's the matteiasked i Mr. Evarts. "Why. I defended Gibbous for ; arson, you know. He was convicted, ! but I did bard work for him.

II. Ohloy, Ex-Secretary of State of West Virginia, writes an open letter. i Charleston, W. Va , Mar. 0,18'js. ( To whom it may concent: "I most heartily recommend Pe-ru-na ( as of great benefit in cases of catarrh. It is especially beneficial wherever the mucous membranes are affected. As a tonic it certainly has no superior." W. 11. Oiii.ey, Kx-Sceretary of State. Hon. W.^Il^ OriLEY^ ^ ^ J i Pe-ru-na ha** cured thousands of ob- ( stinate cases of catarrh, and is perhaps the only efficient remedy in existence for catarrhal diseases; but there are 1 countless multitudes of people who are still struggling with catarrh and need help To such as these the unqualified recommendation of Pe-ru-na by ExSecretary Ohley is directed.

If all newspaper stoiies are true, ] lawyers meet with many reverses in i their attempts to browbeat feminine witnesses. One of the latest exam- ? pies comes from the Cleveland Lead- c er. r ' Now," said the lawyer who was 1 conducting the cross-examination, ? "you will please state how and where ] you first met this man.'7 "I think," said the lady with the sharp nose, "that it was?" j "Never mind what you think/' in- r terrupted the lawyer. "We want j facts here. We don't care what you \ think, and we haven't any time to s listen to what you think. Now c please tell us where and when it was g that you first met this man." I The witness made no reply. f "Come, come," urged the lawyer, r fc'T iinctiirtv f/\ llA mint - I jl uruiauu an c*uo ^i iu i uv; ?|uv<k - c tion I have put." j ' The witness will please answer the question," said the court, in impressive tones.

I can't talk without think- ! iQS-" ! So they called the next witness. _? . . i Fat Enough. ( i A Twenty-sixth ward citizen who j was raising a fine hog in the rear of j ' his residence, was notified by the j 1 board of health to remove the animal ; 1 outside of the city limits. Not wishing to move, and thinking the hog ; not fat enough to kill, he sent word ; to a colored man who Lad a small j farm in Montgomery county to take the pig to his place until it was fat euough to kill, agreeing to give one nali of the carcass for the trouble. Situ took the hog how<\ and tLe ; next morning brought half of it ba(k I to the Maimunkor." "Why, Sauj," said the owner, "I told you to k(ep the hog until it was j fat."* "He war fat enough for uic: dar'3 j yo' half," replied Sam.

I had not had tiuie to read the lapers, and picking up a dozen or o liore, I placed tberu under my arm w tnd boarded a car. I left it at the b ntrance to the Capitol grounds, and vas hastening toward the building, vhen an elderly man, who it was a ;vident hailed from the rural die- n rict9, accosted me. g "Air you a-goin' to the Capitol?" V le asked. "Yes," I replied. ^ "So'rn I," he said. "That is a privilege every man in ^ his country may enj iy,'' I answered. "Yes, I guess that's what we fit er," said my new acquaintance, and ^ hen he added, "What air you in ;uch a hurry for?'; ^ "I want to get rid of these papers," ! answered in a reckless way, poinlng to the bundle beneath my arm. 3" "Hum, young man!" said the man, ? is gravely as an undertaker, "why lon't you remember you're a man 8 low, and stop sellin' newspapers.be- 8 lave yourself and be elected to con- D jress, and become a great man, like Dand Webster?'' , c Mrs. J.
