Anderson MailV Ckver Coluumiet Relate* Firat Ix>v? Experience I was coming' seventeen when love first shot its arrow into my gizzard. 1 had seen mv then future wife but twice, but 1 knew then and there that I would die if 1 did not marry her at once. As to me, I was not a thing of beauty, nor a joy forever. I was not acquainted with store-bought clothes. J had a jeans coat and u pair of jeans britches, and a pretty little striped calico shirt. I wore ft No. 8 shoe on my right foot, but it took a No. 0 for my left. I was then slightly pigeon-toed, and was some what stooped from plowing a fast mule. As to her, she was a bunch of dewdrops, ft f>late of sunshine, ft v*se of liliea, ftnd her lips looked like rote buds, and her stockings of tan radi ated real beauty, and displayed real art, but then it took an accident or a calamity to see above a girl's ankles. I fell for her hard. She was buxom, and wore No. 7 shoes, tut feet never stood in anybody's door when love was knocking at the door. Well, 'she told me I could come to sec her on Saturday night. I was so happy I thought I'd die. It seemed 3 weeks from Friday afternoon till Saturday night. I begun to doll up about 3 p.m. I first made a trip to the creek. I washe<J all over with lye soap. My akin shone like a moon beam, and my whole body was red but clean. Up to that time I had never been introduced to underwear. In fact, none of our family was ever burdened with any excess of clothes. So I got a pair of sister's old black stockings and cut the feet out of them and put them on. I blacked my shoes with soot and shined them with tallow. 1 got my daddy's razor and scraped my face good, but did not dull it any as my beard was soft and tender, all three of them. I then got some lard and plastered my hair to my head so tight I had to pry it loose next morning with a case knife. I found a little bit . of lily white and I rubbed that on my cheeks with a little red calico rag. Man, that pinkness brought out un discovered beauty. > 1 then went to the blacks'mith shop and got me several little pieces of iron that rattled like money and put them in my pocket. It was stylish in those days to rr.ttle your money if " you had any. s My britches struck me about four inches above my brogans. _ My coat fitted me so -tight I looked like a balogna sausage. My shirt had the collar made to it and I had sweated it down two weeks before. I had caught several smelling bugs at the creek #and tied them up in my hand kerchief, so smelt fairly well con sidering everything. My next job was getting out of the house without any of my broth ers or sisters Seeing me. I had nev er tried to dress up before, and if they had seen me life would not have been above the knee, but sort er to one side. I managed to walk sideways and sit kinder backwards so that didn't hurt much. I began to get excited about that time. I tried to think what I would say to my sweetheart. I walked a while and would then run a while, and I studied up several nice things to say ? like this: I. am so glad I met you, you are so pretty, I ara glad I met you.. I seen you yester day but you never seen me ? anso forth. But on I went. I got there. I walked up the steps. The thermome ter was below freezing, but I was above melting. Never sweated so in my life. My mouth was dry, my breath was short, my tongue was glued to my throat; my stomach hurt, and my shoes began to pinch my toes. The old man came to the door. I said, "Is she here." He said, "Hell, ?no brat ? do your maw know where you air tonight? Daughter's gone to a party IX. you happen to be looking for her." Slam went the door. I went homo" with a broken heart, and never have had any use for that man or that woman since. Woman Saves $2,224 in 35 Years. Spartanburg, Jan. 13. ?

A familiar figure disappeared for ever from Chester's streets Tuesday afternoon when Harvey Brunson,* vet eran colored drayman, pas*ed away, after having lain in a state of coma for several days following a stroke of paralysis. Although he had been al most totally blind for years, Uncle Harvey had -stuck to his job with a courage worthy of a Knight of the Table Round; and the public probably did not realize, until they think about it now, what a sublime bit of heroism was being enacted before their eyes by the old man who had to grope and feel his way laboriously and tedious ly; yet was ever at his post, with a smile on his face and a song: of hope in his heart. He was one of those "Millions, who humble and nameless The straight, hard pathway plod ? Some call it Consecration, And others call it God." While handicaped in the race of life by what many would regard as an insuperable obstacle to material pro gress, Uncle Harvey had supported himself and family all these years upon the fruits of what he earned from day to day, and asked for no special concession or favors on ac count of his physical infirmities. ?
