The barber looked at him two or three times and then asked him what he wanted. "Jim," said the other, after fidgeting about for a minute, "yo' was ingaged to my sister, 'Linda." "I was, sah," was the reply. "Yes, sah, me an' 'Lioda was engaged an' I was gwine to become yo'r brudderlaw." " 'Linda seud word." "She did?" "Voe 'T.inda wanted me to stop and tell yo' suthin'." "I hope the deah angel hain't dun got sick ?" "Ob, no. She jest done got married to Bill Lee dis mawnin's an' she axed me to stop an' tell you." "Wh'what! Yo'r sister 'Linda done got married to dat nigger Bill Lee !" shouted the barber as he waved the razor around his head. "Yes. She dun changed her mind 'bout yo'." "She did, eh ! Boy, has 'yo got a flatfooted, black-hided, 'possum-faced sister named 'Linda? Great big gal, wid turnip cull'd eyes an' a mouf as big as dat doah ? Sings like a mewl ?n' makes a track in the mud like a elephant ? Has you got sich a sister ?" "I reckon so." "Werry well, sah ! Yo' return to dat sister and' give her my compliments, an' tell her I was married mo' dan two weeks ago, an' dat she ain't dun fooled me worf shucks! Good mawnin', sah? call again." He Was Kind, but She Was Clever.?She is a clever woman, a past master in the art of strategy. So agree all who rode down on the street car the other morning. She got on a south bound Clark street limits train at Belden avenue. Every seat was taken, and almost every strap had a man or woman suspended from it. She looked about hesitatingly for an instant, but every man was wonderfully interested in his paper. Then she took hold of a strap almost in front of a young man, a very young man, who was blushing guiltily as he pretended to read. While the young man blushed and the woman thus hung her handkerchief fluttered, accidentally by all appearances, to the floor. The young man looked up just then and saw the white bit of cambric. The feeling of chivalry which he evidently was tryinor to stifle would not be stifled longer. He arose aud stooped for the handkerchief. This was the woman's opportunity. While his back was turned she gently slipped into his seat. When he turned about and saw what had occurred, he almost collapsed. But the woman did not. She took her handkerchief out of his hand, smiling innocently. "Thank you," she said sweetly, "You are very kind."?Chicago Journal. A Cold Rebuff.?To a young man who stood smoking a cigar on a down town corner the other day there approached the elderly and impertinent reformer of immemorial legend. "How many cigars a day do you smoke?" asked the licensed meddler in other people's affairs. "Three," replied the youth as patiently as he could. Then the inquisition continued. "How much do you pay for them ?" "Ten cents each," confessed the young man. "Don't you know, sir," continued the sage, "that if you would save that money by the time you are as old as I - ? that- hior hnilrtinir am jvu V.UW.U ....... o on the comer ?"

Williams, Esq., at this place last Monday. The reports of the president and secretary and treasurer show the mill in a prosperous condition. The net earnings for the year closed July 1, 1899, were $30,023.90, or about 23 per cent, on the capital stock. An election for directors resulted in the old board being re-elected, with T. S.

Will Sanders, who has for a long time been evading the officers of the law, was captured here last Friday night by Policemen Carroll and Williams. He was wanted in York county, S. C., for retailing and was turned over to Officer Dobson, of Yorkville. We regret to chrouicle the sad news telling of the death of Mr. John J. White, of Bessemer City. He died at his home last Tuesdfly evening at seven o'clock. Mr. 'White had been sick for sometime with typhoid fever and for the last few days his life had hung in the balance.

Gastonia's secoud team the Midgets, have tried their band ou two occasioos witbiu the last few days. The first game was played on the Oakland High school grouuds last Monday evening. It was a pretty game played well by both sides. The score resulted in 11 and 10 in favor of Gastonia. The features of the game, were Smyre's batting &nd Liueberger's home run. The Midgets tackled McAdenville yesterday and this resulted in a victory for Gastonia. The score was 26 to 24. The features of this game were the large scores on each side. At the noon hour last Saturday there was a blow amounting to a little hurricane at Bessemer City. The furious part lasted about five minutes, a storm of rain and some hail acnnmnonuinor if. A number of bin trees -& --- ? were snapped off like sticks 10 feet above the ground. The boiler room of the Southern Cotton mills sustained considerable damage. The roof was blown off and the south wall almost totally demolished. Beyond Bessemer the hail was severe. At Gastonia the storm moderated into only a stiff wind and a good rain. There was a shooting affair on Mr. Ephraim Holland's place near town last Monday morning, in which Mr. Holland and a cropper name Jim Weatherspoon were the active participants. A Negro boy, who is a brother of Weatherspoon, was plowing a mule belonging to Mr. Holland, and Mr. Holland went to the held and attempted to take the animal from the boy, also threatening to use a pitchfork which "lie carried. Weatherspoon who has been sick with fever, seeing Mr. Holland and the pitchfork and anticipating trouble, put a pistol in bis pocket and went down to where the parties were, and when he bad gotten at a close shooting distance, drew the weapon and fired at Mr. Holland three times, none of the balls, however, taking effect. Some of Mr. Holland's neighbors hearing of the trouble, armed themselves and went in search of the Negro, but he had fled. Dr. Miller Moore and sister, Miss Katherine, stopped off here last Friday and weut to Blowing Rock next day. Dr. Moore is a surgeon in the U. S. navy, and was during the naval fighting at Manila stationed on the Monitor * ? J ...:.w * iw. MonaanocK, ami reiuiucu ?nu Raleigh from Manila. Among the many interesting experiences he had, he was a guest at the banquet in New York when Captain Coghlan of the Raleigh made the remarks in a speech on that occasion with reference to the German government which caused such a sensation. At the time he was sitting by ex-Mayor Strong, and asked him if there were any reporters present, and was told that they were excluded. It is familiar to our readers how the entire affair was reported in the papers next day. HIS NOVEL POINT OF VIEW. The young man was either an optimist or the possessor of a Hurveyized steel armor-plated nerve. Perhaps he was a little of both. A short time ago he came to the conclusion that he would like to insure his life. With this object iu view he made application to a prominent company. After filling out the necessary blank he received an invitation to call upon the medical officer of the company and undergo the usual physical examination. In due course he presented himself at the office of the examining physician. Requesting the young man to remove his coat and vest the doctor produced a stethoscope and began his ex amination. All at once oe siuppeu and regarded the candidate with an expression of alarm. "Young man," he said, "do you think you can bear a shock ?" "Oh, I guess so," was the cheerful respose. "Fire away and let me hear the worst." "You have only one lung!" announced the doctor solemnly. "Well, what of that ?" retorted the candidate, with the utmost composure. "I never told you I had any more, did I ?" "What!" exc aimed the doctor, "do you mean to say you were aware of your conditiou ?" "Of course I was. Do you suppose a man could have only one lung with-J out being aware of the fact?" "And yet," said the doctor, "you apply to m respectable company for a policy of lue insurance. Do you expect to get it ?" "I certainly do. Not only that, but I think I ought to get it at a substautial reduction iu the premium." "Upon what ground, may I ask ?" "Upon the ground that having only one luug I am 50 per cent, less liable to contract consumption than if I had two lungs."?New York World. The Texas Floods.?A special of Saturday from Caldwell, Texas, suys: hit vera in the Brazos flood dis trict report that not less than 200 square miles of cotton bearing land has been flooded. Every acre of it would have produced a big bale. Basing the loss on five cents figures, the crop destroyed on these plantations was worth almost $4,000,000. It is claimed the flood has cost the people of Texas little less than $10,000,000. Thousands of mules have been drowned, all of the domestic animals have perished, and rented houses aud Negro quarters have been swept away. The gins are nearly all ruined, and hundreds of plantation stores, carrying big stocks of general merchandise, are under water. Not a bridge has escaped, and not a train has passed over the Santa Fe railroad between Brenham aud Miluno for a week. Charged to Colonel Wrenn's Cure.?The death of H. B. Plant recalls a quaint story which is told by a newspaper correspondent well-known in New Orleans. "Some years ago I was broke in New York," he said, "aud hearing that W. B. Wrenn, passenger traffic manager of the Plant system, was in town, I called on him aud asked for a pass to Jacksonville. The last time I called the clerk wouldn't | let me in, and banded me one of my cards, on which Colonel Wrenn had written, 'Keep this fellow out; if he bothers me any more I'll go crazy." That gave me an idea, and I made a bee line for Mr. Plant's private office. 'Mr. Plant,' I said, 'I want a pass to Jacksonville, Fla.' The old gentleman looked at me in amazement. 'On what grounds?' he asked. 'In exchange for treating Colonel Wrenn for threatened mental trouble,' I replied. Mr. Plant's face clouded. 'What kind of a game is this, sir?' he demanded, sternly. 'Colonel Wrenn is perfectly sane, sir, and I won't permit?' 'Pardon me,' I interrupted; 'but Colonel Wrenn is at this moment apprehensive of lunacy, and believes firmly that it rests entirely with me to avert the at attack. I have his written statement to that effect in my pocket.' 'Let me see it! Mr. Plant fairly shrieked. I handed him the card and got ready to run. As he read the inscription bis face relaxed. His piercing gray eyes began to twinkle. Finally he lay back in his chair and roared with laughter. 'Here, Mr. Smith !' he called to a clerk, 'give this young man transportation to Jacksonville and charge it to medical treatment for Colonel Wrenn.'"? New Orleans Times-Democrat. The secretary of agriculture has about perfected a plan whereby graduates from agricultural colleges can come to the department and do postgraduate work. Many of the agri cultural colleges throughout the country are turning out every year good men, who are often prevented from continuing the valuable lines of special work which they pursued while in college through inability to continue their studies. The secretary's plaD, which has received much careful thought and consideration, will make it possible for such young men to spend a year or two in Washington, tvnrWintr under the direction of the " v* r? ? beads of scientific divisions. It is not expected, says a correspondent of the New York Sun, that they shall undertake any original work, but carry on such investigations as may be assigned to them. It is proposed to pay men of this kind a nominal salary, barely enough to cover expenses, the pay being not so much to induce them to go to Washington as to afford an opportunity for deserving young students to advance in the special fields they have chosen while in college. Santiago Fever Situation.?A letter received Sunday by Will T. Hale, of Nashville, Tenn., from his son Charles, now in Santiago Cuba, gives some insight into the yellow fever situation there. He is an officer in the Fifth United States infantry. The letter says: "Since I wrote you last yellow fever has broken out here. It carried ofT four members of the regimental band in three days, and in two weeks we have lost 27 men out of our regiment. Four of these were of company M, the company to which I belong. "One night at 9 o'clock the physician made us get outside the barracks with nothing on but the Cuban atmosphere, our guns, belts and 100 rounds of am I ^ nnt nllnw lis to iuuuiiiuij. iic nuu.u m?.. ? __ carry a 'rag' out with us. The next moruing our company was divided into small squads in charge of a noncommissioned officer and scattered all about the country." Derided.?An Austin colored waiter told a Boston man at a hotel that iu eastern Texas a white man had married a Negro woman. "Was he not derided?" asked the Bostonian, in the classic speech of the "Huh of culture." "He was, sah," beamed the Negro. "Dey rided him out oh towu on a rail."?Household Words. FIRE INSURANCE.
