tumorous JjrpartmrtU. THE COMMODORE'S CUE. In the early days of steamboating on the Ohio river, they had only stern- i wheel boats, and old Commodore McCulloogh, of Cincinnati, conceived a scheme to build and launch a palace "side-wheeler," which would, by grace of her beauty and size, "run the sternwbeelers out of the trade." He carried his ideas to a successful ( and beautiful finish, and sent her on her initial trip and she came back $800 loser. The natives along the river would not ship on her nor would they ride on her nor trust their live stock on her. They "couldn't see the wheel go round." So the Flora Belle made trip after trip, burning from $800 to $1,000 worth of coal and taking in perhaps $200. The newsDaDers took it up and it was street talk about what a "frost" the Flora Belle was. Everybody from banker to bootblack knew the tale. At this time the old National theatre, on 8ycamore street, was the bon ton theatre of Cincinnati, and its gallant men and lovfely women thronged the per- 1 formances. One night the commodore attended, and as he entered there was 1 a series of nudgings and whisperings. ' "There's the commodorb. There's the owner of Flora Belle." The play was one of those "Bertha, the Sewing Machine Girl," dramas, with a "hyperbole" heroine, and there | was one scene in which the lover proposes marriage. "No," said the heroine, "I can never be your wife, Harold. You are rich, you are a millionaire, while I am only a poor sewing girl. . If I marry you, all my friends will say it was for your 1 money, and I love-you, darling, for yourself. Get rid of your money, my darling, and I will be your wife." And she made her exit in tears. The lover walked up and down the stage, wringing his bands. "How," he cried, "how can I win her? How can I get rid of my 1 money ?" 1 That was the old commodore's cue. He rose up in the center of the par- 1 quette and shouted : . "Buy the Flora Belle!"?Denver Times. ?] A Courteous Greeting.?A gal- ] lant old American soldier, who at one , time was well-known in Kansas, had < many idiosyncrasies, not the least of ; which was an irrepressible dislike for | young lieutenants when first sent out from West Point. The name of this soldier was General Starr, and at the ' time of which we write he was major ( in the Sixth United States cavalry, ( though during the civil war he bad been a brigadier general. In 1874 General Starr was in com- j mand at Fort Riley, and one day an orderly came to his quarters with a . message that Lieutenant Morrison, just ; from West Point, was at the post ready to pay his respects and report for duty. ! In response to this message the old : general was starting for bis office, when ' his wife, a motherly old soul, plucked 1 him by the sleeve and said : "Now, general, promise me that you won't be rough with that young man. "Rough ?" said the old man, smiling ' amiably upon his matrimonial companion. "Why, I'll be peaches and cream unless the young dog riles me." Reaching his office the general was confronted ^with a dapper little fellow, as spick and span as though he had ' just come from the hands of his barber and tailor, while be bad the halfsupercilious air that seems inseparable from the first stages of military education. Looking the young lieutenant over ' for half a moment the old general said with great dignity: "How do you do, Mr. Morrison ? I am pleased to see you." Then as a flush gradually moun- ! ted over his weather-beaten 'features, 1 be added: "I am always glad to see vou voung men from the military acad emy. You?you? (here the general ended with a roar) you think yourselves so d smart?"?Kansas City Journal. _ i 1 In the Wrong Place.?Old man , Drew?"Hi" Drew, they call him in ( his own town, 40 miles from Chicago? , is a man of generous impulses; but , sometimes a little lacking in foresight. One day in February he came into , town on the sly, says the Chioago Times-Herald, to buy a birthday gift for his wife. J He cast about vigorously and struggled in a valiant way through the crowds, finally being washed ashore in the doorway of a hardware establishment. Despairing of fighting his way any farther, he made up his mind to purchase right here. Martha wanted a new stove, aryway. So he allowed himself to be taken , in hand by an energetic salesman, and , had soon purchased for $21 an article that was guaranteed to cook anything and everything, all at one time. He had it expressed out to the village, and by cunning strategy succeeded in getting it set up in the kitchen on Tuesday morning without Martha's knowledge. When she saw it she hugged him and beamed all over with delight. Then he went out and killed a young Bucking pig and two chickens, and prepared for a royal spread. Suddenly a blank look passed over the old man's face. - * * * _ - t\ on " 'YVby,' wnat's me matter t/re>v r exclaimed bis wife. "Look here !" said he. "Here I've been and brought a gas stove for $21, and there ain't no gas for nine miles!" Where She Fell Short.?"Ah," he said, gazing down into her deep, velvety eyes after the end of their first quarrel, "you are my heart's delight; my soul's refuge." "I'm so glad," she answed. "Now if I could only have some influence on your liver, life might be one grand, sweet song for us, after all." fUsceHiuicous fading. I j IN COUNTIES ADJOINING. Summary of the News That Is Being Pub- | llshed by Exchanges. , CHESTER?The lantern, August i 14: Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Newbold, I who have just been sorely bereaved, i are now in anxiety over their baby, I who is very sick. Mrs. C. E. 1 Tenant, of Cornwell, has a chicken i that has no eyes. There is no place 1 for eyes, the skin and feathers being j continuous over the place where the eyes should be. Last Saturday, when . Mr. Tenant told us about it, the chicken was about a week old, and { was healthy and doing well. It will be < a curiosity worth taking to a fair if it i lives. Saturday morning there 1 was a deplorable tragedy on Mrs. . Stienkuhler's place, about five miles < east of town, in which Mr. W. T. 1 Stroud's hands were stained with the t blood of bis neighbor, and Mr. John J Peay lost his life. According to the c most reliable report we can get, Mr. 1 Stroud was passing Mr. Peay's house, t on his way to town, when the latter i accosted him and asked him about ' some report Stroud was charged with < having circulated. After a few words 1 Peay struck, or attempted to strike, f Stroud, who jumped out of his buggy i at the opposite side, the mule started 1 off, and the two men engaged in a ' "running fight," as it was described by ( Jerry Boulware, an old colored man, i who was the only eye witness. When y they got into the edge of the field, y Stroud drew his pistol, then Peay s picked up a stick, the former fired, and * and the fighting continued, Stroud ( retreating or being forced back. Shots t were fired at intervals by Stroud, four 1 in all. About the third shot, Jerry < thought, Peay appeared to be getting i tired or weak, and at the fourth his ( head sank forward and he fell. Stroud { then ran off, coming on to town and e surrendering to the sheriff. The first 1 shot, it is supposed, plowed a furrow t over the top of Peay's head, and the < other three entered his chest, and < either of the three would have been i fatal. We have not beard Stroud'3 i version of the affair further than that i he says Peay knocked him out of the t buggy with a stick. Mrs. Peay aud j her two children bad gone to Edge- i moor to visit her family, the Clintons, t when the difficulty occurred, and Mr. t Peay was preparing to go. Mr. Stroud < has a wife and one daughter. y V?ASTON?Gastonia News, August" J I4"v Mr. J. Frank Jackson, of Clover, ? * ? T?- T \IT t was Dere yesieruuy.^- xj\. n. ??.

Detwiler conducting the funeral. Sunday morning, about 10 o'clock, Fred and Ruth Long, 10 and 13 years old, the children of Mr. N. R. Long, of Knoxville, Tenn., who are visiting relatives here, told their mother they were going to King's Mountain to spend the day. It was taken as a joke; but they were missed later and Mr. Bynum Long took the train for Kiug's Mountain. He saw * them from the platform two miles west of Bessemer standing on the embankment. A team was secured at King's Mountain and they were met at the Dilling Mill and brought back to Gastonia, having walked a distance of 12 miles from 10 to 2 o'clock. The Gazette, August 16: Our mayor has mauy accomplishments, and now he has shown his proficiency in another l:-" * * *y-v i ntni-oantinn nf Vnrt LIUU* ilb tuc lUiGtovvvivu VTA A v*w street and FraDklin avenue, the ground is underlaid to an unknown depth 8 with hard granite rock. In order for * the sewer pipe to pass through, it ^ would be necessary to blast all the * way. Besides the great expense of 8 this it was very annoying to the resi- f dents of that part of town. The may- ? or put his brain to work to find some 1 solution to this problem of sewerage, * without going through that rock. He c devised the following: "Let the 1 sewers come up to the corners of the \ streets and there stop. The sewerage will then run back to the intersections 1 and flow on off." He told his plan to 8 Mr. White and be submitted it to Mr. ' Ludlow, who said it would work O. K., j and that is the plan the engineers are ' following. So the town is saved at 1 least $2,000, and the residents of that 8 neighborhood annoyance by the fertile ? brain of our patriotic mayor. 1 Mr. John W. Reid received a. "compli- x ment" the other day which he failed * to appreciate. 'Squire Garrett, Mr. 1 Wiley Rankin and some others were 1 standing in front of the court house ' on Monday, and not far off was another group of gentlemen pleasantly 8 chatting, and among them was Mr. I John Reid. After looking in that di- ( rection for a little bit, 'Squire Garrett , remarked: "Ain't that Marion But- ' ler? It looks something like him. I 1 wonder what he is doing here." It so J tickled Mr. Rankin, who loves a joke, 1 that he had to call Mr. Reed over and ' repeat the squire's question. Mr. Reid J did not seem to altogether relish * the "compliment," but thought the 1 'Squire's eyes must be getting bad, and ( it was a case of mistaken identity and 1 he could prove an alibi on every 1 charge. Mrs. R. P. Smith, ever active in every good work, is making her influence felt in her new home in Asheville. We clip the following 1 from the Asheville Citizen of the 10th inst: Mrs. Smith, wife of Rev. R. P. Smith, the evangelist, made an inter- j esting report on the religious condi- 1 tion of the Cherokee Indians on the j western North Carolina reservation. Mrs. Pearson and Mrs. T. H. Cobb t were appointed a committee to visit 1 the reservation, this summer if possi- < ble, and prepare a report on the needs i of the Indian children as to Christian 1 teaching etc. Saturday night, about two o'clock, Policeman Carroll heard a pistol shot in the rear of Ander's & Floyd's stable, near the Narrow Guage railroad, and cries of "police." He hurried to the scene and saw a negro running off and was told that he had shot at bis wifp. He called to the < negro, Pete Allen, to halt, but he coutinued running, whereupon Mr. Car- i roll fired bis pistol. The negro returned the fire but continued running I harder. Policeman Carroll, in compa i ay with some others, chased him iuto the country where he eluded thein and escaped. < CHER0KEJ2?The Gaffiiey Ledger, i August 14^NMiss Francis Parish, of i Iforkville, is visiting her father, our < ;enial "Cal."" ;?

When the train ar'ived, instead of being pushed out of he baggage car in a coffin, Bob step- { led out of the train. Of course it \ vas a surprise to Bob's friends to find bat he had not taken his departure to ' .he bourne from whence no traveler ;ver returns.
