The Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, August 5', 1903. Aunt Siszio at Wedding. A Negro Dialect Story by an Old Time Darkey. "Howdy, Marse Jeff," said old Aunt Kizzie the other day, as she polked her head in at the store door, "how much do fif cens wuf dis meat come to?" I am a little suspicious of the negroes when they use the term "Marse." In old times it was common, but nowadays it is seldom used, and when they do call you "Marse" they usually mean it as a preface for the asking of a favor?a sort of propitiatory term. Aunt q tvniMl ftntflhpll- I iliMiCj jjluvtuvci, i? u vj? um darkey, and is somewhat of an exception to the rule. "Well, Aunt Kizzie, said I, "how are you, and what in the world are you dressed up . so for T for the old woman was togged out in all sorts of finery and her head done up in the gayest of old time plantation bandanas. 'Tse been ter a weddin' chile. My aunt's fuss cousin's sister-in-law's charter wuz marznied dis evenin at de cullud church.

Well atter while it wuz all over and Jim he retch down in his pocket to pay de preacher, but he taken second thought an he say Look a hear, Brudder Jones, I aint got de change, right now, but 1 I'll han you dat some time in passin'. But dat didn't suit Brudder Jones and he lowed, he did, 'Dat won't do Digger, I don't do biznis in no sech style as dat. I don't want de cash in passin', I wants it right now, en whats more I'm er gwine ter have it. Brudder Jones is a heap bigger den Jim, en he looked at him mighty vigeus liken sorter shuck him in de col* lar, so Jim he sorter consider and retch down in another pocket and fotch out a little terbacker sack tied up wid a shoe string an fish out fifty centy en gin it to de preacher.

Every one has heard of the woman visiting France for the first time who expressed her surprise that "even the young children spoke French so fluently." She was much like the Englishman described in a book of travel. He was very fond of traveling and took great delight in lionizing different cities which we visited, but in one respect be was a stanch John Bull. No power on earth could persuade him that when he resided in Florence, for example, he could possibly be called a foreigner. "No ma'am," he used to say; "the Italians are foreigners, but I am an Englishman!" i ^ , A Tiny Journal. Omeo, among the mountains of Victoria, Anstralia, formerly possess- j ed the smallest journal printed in the British dominions. It was not much larger than an ordinary sheet of note paper, and its title was the Eoho of the Mountains. During one severe winter Omeo was cut off from civilization by heavy falls of enow, and its supply of ordinary printing paper having been exhausted, the Echo of the Mountains was printed for some weeks on grocers' brown paper bags. . A Physician Healed. Dr. Geo. Ewing, a practicing physician of Smith's Grove, Ky., for over thirty years, writes his personal oTnomnnno wifK "EVilov'.

I used everything known to the profession without relief, until I commerced to use Foley's kidney Cure. After taking three bottles I was entirely relieved and cured. I presscribe it now daily in my practice and heartily recommend its use to all physicians for such troubles. I have prescribed it in hundreds of cases with perfect success." The Kaufmann Drug Co. Shutting Down The Plants. Lewiston, Me., July 31.?The extreme high price of raw cotton has compelled the Bates and Androscoggin Manufacturing companies, employing 3,000 hands, to order a curtailment of the output. Today, notices were posted on the gates of those two corporations notifying the employes that after tomorrow the mills would be in operation only four days each week until further notice. This is the first announcement this season of any extended curtailment in Maine. Brunswick, Me., July 31.?Orders were received today from the Boston office of the company to shut down the Cabot cotton mills here for two weeks. The order affects 1,000 operatives. The closing is said to be due to the high price of cotton. The Death Penalty. Little thing sometimes results in death. Thus a mere scratch, insignificant cuts or puny boils have paid the death penalty. It is wise to have Bucklen's Arnica Salve ever handy. It's the best Salve on earth and will prevent fatality, when Burns, Sores, Ulcers and Piles threaten. Only 25c at The Kaufmann Drug Co. Repartee in Church. The friendly and familiar atmosphere of the average small rural western church sometimes gives rise to embarrassments. Dr. David is a prominent man in a little far western church, and he generally takes a quiet little doze during the sermon. Sister Sarah is an elderly, long-winded woman, who likes to "exhort" after the preacher has concluded his remarks. Not long ago, at a night service, Sister Sarah arose and discoursed at great length. The listenI t r?? era Decame viaiuio itjoiivc. ?si. David arose and said, bluntly: [ "Si9ter Sarab, it would be an imposition to detain this congregation any longer." " 'Taint no impersition to you, doctor; you've tuck your nap," said Sister Sarah. Then the clergyman, with uplifted hands, said; "Let us be dismissed." All the Same to Eim. "Are you troubled with cockroaches or other insects about your premises, ma'am?" inquired the man with the pack who had succeeded in gaining an audience with the mistress of the mansion. "No, Sir!" she said, glaring at him. "We are not troubled by cockroaches or other insects!" "Don't mind 'em, hey ?" he rejoined cheerfully, shouldering his pack again. "Well, there's nothing like getting used to one's afflictions. Good day, ma'am. End of Bitter Fight. "Two physicians had a long and stubborn fight with an abcess on my right lung" writes J. F. Hughes of Du Point, Ga. "and gave me up, everybody thought my time had come. As a last resort I tried Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption. The benefit I received was striking and I was on my feet in a few days. Now I've entirely regained my health." It conquers all Coughs, Colds, Throat and Lung troubles.

"What is your name!" he asked. t "Mary Howe," was the answer, "and if you will remember it, I'll give you a candy boot for your doll." After talking a few minutes the girl asked, "What is my name!" "Mary Howe," he said. "That is right, and here is the boot for your doll." "Thank you," said Elwood sweetly. And then, after a moment's thought, added, "But my doll has two feet." The Wrong Suggestion. A good planter's wife "befo' de wah" was teaching a jet black house girl, just fourteen and fresh from the plantation, the letters of the alphabet. Betsy bad learned the first two, says Harper's Magazine, but always forgot the letter "C." "Don't you see with your eyes? Can't you remember the word see?" said her mistress. "Ye8sum," answered Betsy. But she could not. Five minutes later Betsy began again bravely, "A?B" and there she stopped. "What do you do with your eyes Betsy?" "I sleeps wif 'em mis'." Suicide Prevented. The startling announcement that a preventive of suicied has been discovered will interest many.

Bucharest, July 31.?Lack of work in Roumania is causing a renowned exodus on a large scale of Jewish workmen to America.

"Mamma," asked little Florence, the only sister of five older brothers, "when am I going to be a boy?" "Why, never, dear. Yon are mamma's little girl." "Ain't I ever going to be.a boy?" j "No, deai; girls con't be boys." ' "Can't God make me a boy? "No, God will never make you a boy." Florence walked away thoughtful- A ly, and that night when she said her I prater she added this petition: "If E i. i ? 11 i ! r you can c maKe me a ooy men mane j me a billygoat."?Woman's Home Companion.

TneKaufmann Drug Co. ^u Rearranging The Basis. "You are charging me 87 a week for board and lodging, Mrs. Irons;" said the gray haired person of the Dame of Harris. "May I a6k how you would itemize it? What part of it is for board?" "Five dollars," replied the landlady. "And 82 for my room?" "Yes." "Well, if you don't mind, Mrs. Irons," he said, proceeding to square up for another week, "we'll consider hereafter that I am paying you $5 for lodging and 82 for board. It will seem more as if I were getting the worth of my money."?Chicago Tribune. Recognizing a Long Felt Want. While lookiDg over his morning paper at the breakfast table Mr. Spotcash read in the miscellaneous information column the following item: "One peculiarity observed by visitors in Cuba is that no native, young or old, ever whistles." He laid the paper down, went to the telephone and called up his man of business. m "Mr. Hussel," he said, "at the earliest possible moment I wish you would advertiee for a young Cuban. I want him for my office boy."?Chicago Tribune. ? < Rheumatism. 9 When pains or irritation exist on any part of the body, the application of Ballard's Snow Liniment gives prompt relief. E. W.
