The year's crop w:ts i!,nidtnt. and lit tle of the pro At h: , ('en stained in the boll, for the ripenig pcriod had been dry and lie'sed vith sunshine. As Hillyer was about to enter the front door of the warehouse after breakfast leseem Truitt slouched to ward him from a group around a little campfire between two cotton wagons. Jerking his long thumb over his shoul der, and hitching up his suspender less trousers at the waist, he drew the merchant to one side. "Heard Hillhouse say you was out lookin' fer George ldst night," he be gan awkwardly, "an' I *lowed thar'd be no'harm in havin' a word with you. That's all right 'twixt me 'n' George, squire. He told me jest now he never knowed what he was about an' that he's sorry. Shucks! he never hurt me, Mr. Hillyer. Besides, I'd let that chap maul me in the face as much as he likes after the friend he's been to Jeff. Ef he's done my boy one favor he has a hundred. My wife feels jest like I do about George, an' ef she was to hear rd got 'im in trouble over a little thing like that last night she'd quit me." 'o thar won't be no charge agin 'im, then?" said Hillyer in relief. '-Not a bit," said the mountaineer, un consciously stroking the jaw George Buckley had bruised the night before. "The marshal come to me jest now an' axed me ef I wanted to make a case, an' I told 'im he was crazy, that me 'a' George was jest playin', an' some o' them dern niggers 'lowed we was fus-. sin'." "I'm glad you feel that way, Truitt," said Hillyer, and he went into the of fice, sat down at his desk and began to read his mail. Two citizens of Darley made the warehouse tileir business headquarters, using the desks without pay. Henry Hanks, a tall, lank, married man about fifty-five years of age, had a desk in one corner of the office. He wore a long brown beard, was dyspeptic, yel low skinned and nervous. He was a Confederate veteran who had, after theJ war, developed a surprising capacity for making money out of the unfortu-l nate section he had bravely fought for. He was a well to do note shaver, and! sold farmers their yearly supplies at an enormous profit. Anything from a cooking store to a yoke of oxen wash considered good security when once de scribed in the "iron clad" mortgage note of which he was the inventor. HeI never wore a vest, and the pockets of his thin coat were always bulging with notes and accounts which he carried on his person to-have them ready at a mo ment's notice when he ran across a de linquent. The other citizen was gim Kenner, a jovial cotton buyer, a bach elor about forty-five years of age, who was the very life of the little circle. When he had business to transact he could be as long faced and serious as any one else; but even then' his humor was apt to bubble up and burst at the very moment no one was expecting it. His chief amusement was' in teasing Hanks, whom he sarcastically called "Old Liberality," or "Lib" for short. He spoke with a 'whine that always ended in a rasping laugh that was very infectious. Hanks had never been known to smile, and yet a close observ er would have seen that, in his own way, he seemed to enjoy all his asso late's levity. It was a chilly day andj there was a good fire in the long wood stove, and the two men bent over it. George Buckley sat on his high stool1 at his desk at work on his big ledger. "Say, George," whined Kenner, as he threw a cigar stump under the stove and leaned back in his chair. "Did you ever hear that tale Bill Gower is a-tall in' on Lib, about his burn out when he used to be in the junk business'?' George smiled indulgently and said, without looking round, that he had "Lib made his start in the junk busi ness down at the fur end o' the street," said Kenner. "Jest after the surrender thar was a lots o' scrap iron an' the like lyin' around, an' he made money buyin' it up an' shippin' it to iron foundries. Then he added wheat an' peas an' corn as a side line, an' one fall when he had a purty big stock of everything his shack tuck fire. A wind was a-blowin' an' things looked shaky. A line o' bucket passers was formed to the nighest well, an' we was doini' pur ty fair work when Lib come 1opin' down the street, makin' a noise like a hoss full o' water. When he seed what we was doi' he got awful rattled an-' yelledfor 'us to 'tote out the stu~ff.' I wasn'tnigh 'im, but Bill Gower says when some o' the crowd laid heid 0' the wheat sacks Lib yelled at 'em,4Let the wheat alone, it's insured; toteeout the scrap iron!" George laughed at this recital, ibut anks simply swung his foot backSand forth and chewed the end: of hisiyun lighted cigar. To all appearancesthe had not heard a word of what !bad been said. "We put the shanty, out," said,Ken? ner, "but Lib didn't-'help a bit. He was hoppin' about.-likee a chicken twith its head off doin' its --last dance. ~We railly saved his life. I believe AhJe'd 'a' dropped dead in his tracks efthe'd 'a' lost by that blaze:that night." *Ef thar's anybody that loves a nickel more'n you do," grunted ',the note shaver, "I'd like to see 'im..

Iampkin re fused to he'p the heathens fer four year afterwards." Hillyer turned round in his chair and smiled. His face had a healthier glow and his eye a deeper twinkle than usual. To look at him one would not have suspected that he had passed through a storm the night before that had almost shaken his soul out of his body. "I've always thought you'd insist on your rights," he said, to Kenner. "An' the truth is it's the only way to get on in business." "Well," answered the cotton, buyer, "I had to hold folks down. Mr. Hill yer. I was a green hand. but I reckon I ripened. purty quick. Thar was a young storekeeper next door to me, Joe Gibbs. as sharp as a brier. He could multiply four figures by four figures in his head an' give you the answer in a minute. He used to tell me who would do to credit an' who wouldn't, an' I always relied on his judgment. "But. Lord, I cayn't set here tellin' yarns all day. I'm goin' to handle a sight o' cotton 'fore sundown: it's roll in' in like a circus parade." The day's business had really begun. Mountain men came in with samples of their cotton or grain. Bascom Truitt had an armful of the snowy staple. "Thar's a whole gang o' ten wagons from beyant the Tennessee line," he said to Kenner. "They want to know what's yore best figure." Eenner pulled the wads apart at the window and answered: "Seven-eighths is the best I kin do, Bas. If they take my offer git 'em to drive it up to the side door. I've rented space fer 500 bales here. I hope they ain't water packed or got any dead niggers stowed away in 'em. Slavery's over, an' we never did buy 'em by the pound nohow." Truitt smiled. "They'll let you have it," he said. "They want to tank up an' go back home." He was turning away when Hanks detained him. "Thar's several in that gang that owe me fer supplies," he said, pulling out his bunch of notes. "Bas, tell 'em I'm prepared to cash the'r checks." "All right, Mr. Hanks," said the-long mountaineer, "IVlA tell 'em." Kenner went 'out to receive the cot ton, and Hillyer followed to indicate the space Kienner was to use. This left George Buckley and the note shav er alone together. George was writing when Hanks stood up and leaned on the desk near to him. He cleared his throat and chewed his cigar for a mo ment, then he said awkwardly: "I hain't much of a hand to talk, but I've been wvantin' to say some'n' to you eer since-'yore pa got in his* trouble, but somehow I couldn't git tg it. I jest feel like tellin' you that I'm yore friend. an' ef it had been in my power I'd 'a' helped you out o' all that mess."' "I thank you, Mr. Hanks," George returned, with a. flush of gratitude "I'm glad to know you felt that way." The old man coughed and stroked his beaid with his s'erawny hand. "I've been watchin' yore progress, George, ever since Hillyer tuck you up. I reckon I was more interested in it on account o' my bad luck with my own boy. George, Bob hain't wuth his room in hell, nur never will be." George avoided the eye bearing down on him when he answered: "Of course I can't dictate to you, Mr. Hanks," he said cautiously, "but I think you are wrong about Bob. I think he will turn out all right when he's a little older. He's in with the so iety set here and half of them have well to do parents, and the truth is he doesn't kn-ow how to begin. I think he wants to, bu" "He's always after me to put up the money fer 'im to do business on," sneered Hanks. "Now, wouldn't I be a daddratted idiot to put money in his hands when he hiin't got enough energy to keep wood cut to run our fires at home? He's got to fust show that he's got business capacity 'fore I'll resk 'im. He's the biggest trouble I ever had, George, an' when I see what a man you've made o' yorese'f on yore chances it makes me mad enough to kick 'im. Oh. he's jest rotten: I hain't got no money fer 'im to dabble with, but I'm here to tell you ef you need a stake at any time all you got to do is to call on me. As I say, I've watched George flushed as he thanked the old man again and assured him he was not in need of money. Kienner came in ubbing his hands. He was followed by Hillyer with a telegram in his hands; he seemed excited as he spread t open on George's ledger. "Tarbell & Co. offer $1.05 a bushel fer our entire lot o' wheat." he said. "Wa' yore judgment, George -is it sell or not "I'd let 'er slide like a sled on a snow mountain," spoke' up Kienner. "Good ness knows thiar's enough profit in it at that. You bought the Charleston an' Atlanta lots under eighty." No one spoke for a moment. Hanks was paying only slig'ht attention to the conversation. He was seldom interest ed in what did not personally concern "I jest want yore judgment, George," said Hillyer in the proud tone a man might have in addressing a successful son. Buckley's eyes held the eager look of the. young speculator as they met the old man's excited stare. "I don't like to express myself," he answered finally. "If it were my money [ would, but it is yours." "Well, yo're welcome to a fool's ad vice," put in Kenner, deeply interested. I've watched the market for twenty odd. year, an' you'll hit the ceilin' in his'thing if you don't git out while you got a chance. Why, Hillyer, anybody can see" "George," the merchant broke in. with firm earnestness, "-I am simply sking you for yore judgment. I want that an' nothin' else." "Well, there is nothing else for me to do but give it, then," said Buckley. If it were my investment I'd hold "Thar, thar, you old skinflint," cried Hillyer triumphantly as he slapped Kenner on the shoulder. "You cayn't scare that boy to death; he's got grit; he'll hold on till it thunders." "Yes," retorted the cotton buyer, "an' George will be like the little boy a-hold ' +h calf-he'll ha vellin' for sme "I jest fe[t ic tcIin' you that Pm yo1 friendl." body to come help 'im turn loose.' Hillyer's face was beaming. He sa down at his desk. and, taking up telegraph blank, he began to writE Kenner pointed to him as he touche George on the arm. "Got back hi senses at last," he laughed; "be's goir to take that offer." Hillyer looked up with a smile. "Goodale & Banks, Nashville, offere me 10,000 bushels by this mornin's wir at $1.05 a bushel." he said. "I'm goii to nab it 'fore Tarbell & Co. find on whar 'ift's at." Kenner whistled softly, growled ou something to himself, and went out o the room. Hanks turned from the wir dow and leaned on George's desk. "D you reckon yo're safe on that?" h asked, and, when George replied in th affirmative.-he said slowly: "By gun you make me want to resk a little my se'f. Somehow it seems to me yo could turn the thing yore way, jes with that dern steady eye o' yore'I But I reckon I'll stay gutside.

At present ou heart seems fuller of the disastrous cot fiagration that occurred in our- tow last Thursday, than of anything else hence, it is more natural to accord tba the first place in our communicatio this week. Between three and fou o'clock Tbqrsday afternoon, our usua quietude was broken by the alarm c fire. All rushed out, and 'found tha the mill and gin operated by Mr. J. E Boswell was in flames. As far as -w can learn, the fire was due to nature causes, and owing to the inflammabilit of the surroundings, combined with th dry state of everything, the work c the fire-fiend was rapid, and despite c every effort used, all was soon over and quiet restored. Then it ;was w realized the great calamity' that ..ha. befallen our friend and fellow-towns man. Mr. Boswell. There was no in surance and the loss was considerable though we are not prepared to stat the amount. We feel assured that Mr Boswell, with his great pluck an energy, will soon recover from th blow. He knows no such word as "fail' and this calamity will only incite hit to still greater effort. We believ we speak truly when we assert that h has the sympathy of all. Friday eveninir about seven o'cloclk was again heard the shrill whistle C fr. J. C. Land's engine, the churc bells began to ring, while men, wome and children shouted iire! Mr. Editot ou would not believe that as small place as Foreston could raise such racket. Indeed, there was much cot fusion for a while. but. owing to proi: and decided action, the threatened fir at Mr. Land's gin did not amount t anything more than alarm. We shoul be glad tc. know that there would neve be another fire in Foreston. Great quantities of cotton have bee brought here this fall, and both gin have done a rushing business-a grea part of the time, running day an night. A protracted meeting was begun, i the Methodist church, last Monda, night. but to our regret, the pastot Rev. E. K. Moore, was suddenly calle' away Tuesday night, by the death c his wvife's mother..
