BETSY HAMILTON'S LETTER. A Sketch or XAfo in the Backwoods. ?t h Atlanta Constitution.' ? ? . It bad been whispered around that Jake LofUs had flirted Malindy Jane -?' Trotman^, and was a hitchin' of bis ridin' nag qp ? at our house j but they didn't f_ know that when Jake's critter was a ..cl^awljx' of our fence, Malindy Jane was "inginnerly in the house. The Trot mans is not the sort tbat sounds a horn and tells they business to embody, and fortbat very reason some folka tries to find out ther affairs. Malindy Jane she kep ber sowfu' bid and never let none of the neighbor gals but me and Caledoney see it, and Jake begot so he taken the nigh cut, and gin v' ^tfjdKss Freshours and old Arminty the dodge when he went to see her, and they sot it down tbat he had quit gwine, and v that it was all busted up betwixt 'em, or, ?KMebbe," says old Arminty, "atter all he baint never coted tbe gal." B& But w.hen,t-he Trotmans let in to white jKwashin' ther"house and fence, aod then let iff on the' trees around tbe bouse, they' knpwed in reason it meant a weddin'; but tbar wasn't nothin' like findin' out forsartin. So Arminty tuck, it on-her? self to go over {bar and stay the: liver long - day. She binted and. Muted: but all she getbered from Malindy Jane's maw was - that tbe dock lowed lime was healthy. Caledony was a tellm' it at our. bouse, and she?lowed that when gran mammy Eve was a leavin' so much cu'osity tc Arminty she never forgot pie Mias rlto. man. She left her sense enough to come ahead of her. They didn't only wkite IHwash, but they scbnrec; and fixed up tel tney didn't skacely know" they own place, but Malindy Jane was l.be onliest gal the old folks had and she didn't git married everyday. ' To be sbo if they 'd had ther own sesso - about it,- they, never would have picked SBjput Jake Loftis; but who in all the land could they have picked out for a bus* ^J: band for ther gal, Maliiidy Jane. Tho day was" sot, and she axed me and GaiedbDy. to wait on her. Oal she 'come ?ttlrt? outhouse and* we allwenf; together. She fetched her yaller bufi-moslin (mine's ofPn the same piece)': and lowed me ami her could fix and .dress alike. Sp we wheeled in and starched our yaller '..buffs so stiff they'd, stand alone, and ironed 'em slick enough to see your face iu 'em, and we tuck the artificial off'n our last summer hats and stuck 'em whar the overskiri was tucked up to one side, and we tacked a tow of cedar all around the bottom of the frock and put a piece under our breastpins and a piece iu our hair,, and I wishtyon could have saw us. I tell you we was fixt Aunt Nancy lowed .-."Gals, for all you do, don't out? shine ithe bride." ??k Buddy he hitched the steers in the : waggia and sot iu the cheers, and we all : Went, even to maw. We went soon so aa ' to help Malindy Jane fix, and bless you when we got thar the bouse and yard was plum full. They had been a comin' ever sense a hour by 'sun. I won't be sartin. but I think everybody that confef fetched a baby and a bench-legged fice and a flop ye?rea "bound. ' We^uns allere fastens /'Old Scrouge" and ."Trip," and- never Je'&,?foller.... HBfeAt'ferl fixt the artificials in the fashion on Malindy Jane's head-and lent her my ? heck-ribbin, (it's good lock to marry in sump'u borrid) I taken a peep in the set tin'room to see who all was thar, and behold thar sot the Simmonses big as who but they, and I know in reason they wasn't axed nor Wanted; and who should be hiked up on a bench all in a row but them tore down Freshours' chill an grand as you please, and still for the fust time in they lives, and ther faces waa raily so clean I didn't skacely know -em. They had shorely been put to soak the night , afore.. Ther.skiu.was as shiny and slick as a peeled ingou, and ther har plastered down tight, with saff soap, and they looked1 plurn satisfied. Over in tbe corner sot the three old maids/Miss Bubch Beasry/Mjss Patience Potter and ole Arminty Pendergrass. ' Miss Bunch is a? broad as she's long and as good a3"she\ broad. Miss Patience is as' long as a bean pole and as good as She's long and is funny enough to make a dbg kill bissef a laugbin'. "She wears a' short frock to try to make her look* short, and all the colors of the rainbow to make her look young. Pap lowed she lookslike Joseph's coat Ole Arminty was a set tin' right Bide of 'em. Now thar was three old maids as different as tbe ele- ; S" mant and the monkey and. the tiger. So blka needn't say old maids is all alike. And widders lacks a heap of bein' all ?alike,; too. The widder Comings was thar, and you wouldn't have knowed she - was.a widder. But the widder McAllis? ter played fisbin' for Jove, and put on a eight of air?. She tuck keerto let ever? ybody knjw she picked the turkey and bakea tbe tatercustards and half-moon pies. - Jake he was the last one to come. He bad his head drjppih' with, lard and scented with cinnamon draps, and his new shoes was so tight be couldn't skacely walk. I wonder if a feller ever got mar? ried without havin' on tight boots or shoes? ". , .Some town boys was out in .the entry ra-giglinV Cal loWed if she'd a been Malindy Jane they shouldn't er been axed, one of 'em in per tickler, I disre member his name. She lowed he thought kase h e lived in town that was;all he needed. He had the ensborance to laugh at country boys with , ther homemade .jeans, and all he was fit ten fur was to wear fine Sunday clothes that wasn't Said for. He strutted around mighty igoty and smoked and chawed terbacker, and took his sweetened dram, tied his :. cravat in tbe fashion, pulled his mustache, and placed- With: bis watchchain, and when he. laughed. at them boys he laughed at his betters. One good, honest, hard workin' country boy like Iky Bob Person, Cap Dewberry or Jake Loftis is . worth enough of his sort to build a fence from here to town. Yes, everbody knowed when Jake got tbar by the cinnamon drapa. Brother Cole was axed to marry 'em, and as many, couples as be has joined he don't know his piece; he had to read it, and they belts candle and driptthe taller a inch thick on the po' old man's coatsle'eve, and then atter all he come nigh marry iu' 'em by.tbe wrong names. Caledony and Iky Boberson stood to? gether, and I and Cap Dewberry, and when we tuck our stands, Malindy Jane j she got-on tother side of Jake and Broth? er Cole be wiped his specs and sot into readin' and spellin' out bis words. "The couple which now stands afore us for the occasion and benefit of being jined in wedlock, will please jine they right bands." Old Miss Patience Potter squeaked out in a loud whisper: "Lindy Jane, you air on the wrong side of Jakey." Then Brother Cole belt his paper up and read on: . "Will you, John Loftis-" "Jacob, not Johnsays Miss Patience. "Well, then, we'll proceed to continue. Will you, Jacob Loftis, take this 'oinan, Malissy Ann??'* "Ma-lin-dy Jane," says Miss Patience a little louder. Then in a loud whisper : "For the lands sake don't git 'em roar ried.wrong." V "Well," says he, "fling on a piece of light'ood, or bold mo a torcb,-for I can't see." Some of 'em grabbed a torch and helt it high. Then list as fast as one word could follow tother, without stoppin' to git his breatb, he went on: "I pronounce you man and wife fur ' better or fur wosser Baluteyonr bride and . if any present has any re-jections let 'em i^peak now or forever atterwards hold ther H&t)e you're dismist amen ar." I Thea old man Trotman stept out and lowed: "Git yohr pardners and: go into tber house 5 to supper; the ole 'oman's got a bite to eat in thar, and sich as it is you're welcome to it." So we locked arms and marched in to supper. The table was plum full, nothiu' wasn't skace nor skimpy. The bride's cake was sot on a block of wood that was kivered over with letter paper cat in fringe to hang all around the aige of it. It bad a thin whitewash over it, and was dressed off j with little sprigs of cedar stack ia a row all around and a long stick of pepper? mint candy stuck right straight up in the middle, and I tell you it sot the table off powerful. They bad a taller Gandle at each eend of the table and a pinr light in the fireplace. Atter supper we sot in to play in' kissin' games. Ole brother Cole had done all he could?he had jined 'em in wedlock and be had et his supper. The games was a gwine on and all was a laughiu' and bavin' fun, some playin' "William with a trembling toe," "Clap in and clap out," "All around the mulberry bush," and some was "Fisbin' for love," when brother Cole knocked for silence. "Bretheriog and ei&tering,'' says he, "let us unite in pra'r and be dismist ar." Atter he was gone Aunt Nancy lowed: "There air a time fur all things, and that ar prayer were very on-timely. Brother Hagin wouldn't have .done sich a on timely thing as that" Bat they soon got to playin' and laughin' louder'n ever and ha vi u' a power of fun, and all looked happy 'cept Miss Trotman. In course she was a feel in' bad about Malindy Jane a marryin'. The women folks all had sump'n to say to her ?about it. Ole Arminty lowed in a reli? gious tone : "Ah I Ivte'll you, Miss Trot ? man, I haint never married, and all of | 'em can marry that's a mind to, but mar? ryin' air a mighty solemn thing." "Yes," says Miss Trotman, with tears t her eyes, "it's a solemn .thing to : marry .'1 "Yes," saye Caledony, "but it's n heap solemner not to marry." "I bound for Cal," says pap. And that sot 'em all to langhin'. Betsy Hamilton. "S ? ? T" Dutch Gap Canal, The experiment of widening General Butler's Dutch Gap Canal by means ?f j the hydraulic process, is pronounced a success by the engineers under whom ! the work is being carried on. The canal is now used by nearly all the Craft going to Eichmond up the James River, and it will soon be able to admit of the passage of the largest seagoing vessels. It curtails the route to that city by five miles and a quarter. The widening process is a new one, having been used in the Mississippi river recently, for the first time. A steam pump at the shore forces water from the river through a hose, and the stream is directed against the natural walls of earth with such force as to. undermine and wash them away. .-The current of the James has been so strong since the freshet as to ca^ry the earth washings to deeper water, thus preventing the filling of the I channel. ? ? It' is said that eleven States now 'allow women to'vote in school affairs. i _- There is said to be three cents worth [of gold in every ton of sea water. I ?There are 40,000. persons in New York dependent upon gambling for a living. . * * . ? Marriage is the, natural lot of all things terrestrial. Even-' Corns have to be pared now and again. ?

An Irishman put up the following notice: "Whoever is caught trespassing upon these grounds will be given forty Hashes on his back. Half the penalty to the informer." ? At the recent term of the Edgefield Court Wilson Stevens, colored, was con? victed of the murder of Henry Steiffer, the peddler, and sentenced to be hanged on the first Friday in August. ? A new bank will be established in Greenville during the summer. The (capital will be furnished by some of I Greenville's prominent business men in connection with Western capitalists. I ?A Georgia man has taken an in? genious way of draining a swamp. He bored an artesian well hole through it to a depth of eighty feet, the last fifty being through rock, until a vault and continu? ous opening were found.- The water is disappearing rapidly, and the area of | land reclaimed pays a large profit. ; ?Mr. Owens, the marble and stone, cutter, has received a letter from Simeon Moore, a colored man at Ninety-Six, Abbeville County. He asks Mr. Owens to prepare for him a tombstone of a cer? tain kind, and promises that he will for? ward the money as soon as the work is done. He explains that be wants the stone for the grave of his old mistress, Mrs. Charlotte Moore, who was born in Powhattan County, Va., in 1789, and died in Abbeville in 1868. He desires the inscription to tell the dates of her birth and death and add "A good mis? tress, an humble Christian and loved by all who knew her.. There is no trouble in the grave." Simeon explained that he himself is 77 years old and expects to follow his beloved mistress, for whom his affection has survived sixteen years, be? fore long, and desires to honor her mem? ory and mark her grave properly before he dies.?Greenville News.

In August, lfifil, nearly three years ago, my son, who was at that time living at Clinton, Ga., camo over to see mc with the Had intelligence that his wife was in the last stages of consumption and that her physician had pronounced her case hope? less. I went immediately over, and I felt that nothing could bo done. She was coughing and spitting incessantly, and at times would discharge from her lungs a large quantity 'of pus or matter ?could not sleep or retain anything on her stom? ach, and was, in fact, in the last stages of the dis? ease. This was about the time you began to ad? vertise Brewer's Lung Restorer, and as my son expressed a desire to give it to his wife, two or three bottles were procured and with scarcely a vestige of hope we commenced giving it to her in small doses, gradually increasing the quantity un? til the prescribed dosu was reached. She began to improve after a few doses and continued to do so daily, until she was finally restored to life and health, and is to-day perhaps in better health thau ever before. Sho is subject to colds, but a few swallows of Brewer's Lung Restorer (which sho is never without) relieves her immediately. I con? sider her restoration to perfect health a miracle, for which she is Indebted to Brewer's Lung Re? storer. My son is almost a monomaniac on tbe subject of Brewer's Lung Restorer and never lets an opportunity pass where he thinks such a medi? cine would be required, that he docs not speak of it In most glowing terms. Not long sir.ee a North? ern gentleman on his way to Florida heard of this cure and was induced by my son to give it to his invalid wife, and she was cured A3 if by magic." Brewer's Lung Restorer contains no opiates. LAMAR, BANK1N Jt LAM AR, Macon, Atlanta and Albany, Ga. Brewer's Lung Restorer for sale by Wil hite & Wilhite, Anderson, S. C. March 20,1SS4,5&<ow. CANCER The development of the treatment of Cancer with Swift's Specific seem so won? derful, that all so aiHictcd should write us. CANCER FOR 14 'YEARS. Spartanburg, S. C, March 14,1884. I have for 14 years been a sufferer from a ruuning sore on my face that everybody called a Cancer. I have nsed over $300 worth of medicine and found no relief. About four months ago I bought one bottle of Swift's Specific from Dr. H. E. flcinitsh, and since have bought five others, have taken it, and they have cured me sound and well! My face is as free from a sore as anybody's, and my health is perfectly re* stored. I feel like forty years had been lifted off my head. Hours thankfully, ELIZA TINSLEY. Mr. B. F. Burns, Hope, Ark., says, un* der date of Jan. 22, 1884: "I have taken five bottles of Swift's Specific for a sore on my temple?said to be a cancer. I have been wonderfully benefitted and will soon be a well man." Mr. W. R. Robison, Davisboro, Ga., writes, under date Jan. 3,1884 : "I amfcjet ting on finely, the ulcer is gradually heal? ing. I feel that 8wift's Specific will cure the horrible cancer which has been feeding on me for over 20 years." Mr. W. H. Gilbert, Albany, Ga., says: "A gentleman named Moore near this city had an eating cancer on his face, which had eaten away his nose and his under lip, and had extended up until it had nearly reach? ed his eye. The cancer was eating his gums and had rendered his teeth so loose that be_ thought they might at any time drop out,' He has been taking Swift's Specific about three months, and its effect has been won? derful. It has driven the poison from his system, the cancer has healed greatly, bis teeth have become strong again, and he thinks he has been rescued from an awful death. He is the most enthusiastic man I ever saw." Our Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free to applicants. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., Drawer 3, Atlanta, Ga. N. Y.
