WHILE ROUGHING IT
( Uncle
Zeke Has Some Funny
Experiences.
NEARLY CHOKED TO DEATH
BY A WOMAN'S FOOT.
Should Watch Where He Gees and : ow
He Sleeps.
I lmve been out on thp rnst)i>
fc;r ft few dayH among the fjood
ple of Pickens, nnd T do not h"titrte
to tell you that I hnVo been
enjoying uij-self.
The weather was delightful, the
roads in prime condition, and
everybody 8eem?>d like homefolke.
Those sociable, friendl)', evorydnv
tort of pooplo, who warm up the
"Gocklog of the heart" and make
you glad you met them and hope
to moot them again.
i nave oiten hoard agents, when
relating their experiences, teil of
the bIuis and insult* they have received,
and the general all-round
cuBBe<inoS9 of the people they meet.
[ have none of these to relate, 1'?r
I have found tliut folks generally
4. A ?
irnat m j auout na 1 trout them,
and if the snub comes 1 can blame
myself for inviting it to a great
extent.
Still a llustlor lias some very
queer experiences?some fanny and
some otherwise?and I, trust tii.it
the readers of the Sentinel-Journal
will pardon me if I relate one of
my own.
A 1 <*
-rt. iiumour 01 years ago 1 was
rustling a paper in a sparsely sottlod
community. One day I found
myself a long distance lroni town
with night coming on and a storm
gathering. I pulled in at :i wayaid?
cabin andcallod for accomoda
ti^ns for the night.
^Tlie lord and master was a good
natured soul and a character in his
way, and allowed I was welcome if
I could put up with their fare. 1
replied that T ought to stand it
for a night if they could stand it
for a life time.
After leading my horse to a
"leanto" I entered the cabin and
proceeded to make ii menfcul inventory
of my aorroundings. which
consisted of the old man, the old
woman, two kidn and one bed.
Not a very encouraging outlook for
u tire?l man.
Ah the night wnn cool there wan
a running lire on the hearth, but
with u joalous eyo on a pillow laying
on a box in tho corner, and
wi'll II llPilUU Iilutui" niiOMA..! 1
wad not dieposed to worry ovor the
situation.
The good wor^an aaid nhe would
make a ''shako-down" on the lloor
and lot the stronger have the bed.
But. as she was complaining with
the toothache aiul a misery in the
DRCKanci was not ieeling v^ry well,
I would not agree to the proposition,
and told them I could get
along very well in a chair l>y the
fire. Something I had not the remotest
idea of doing.
When it came the hour for retiring
I wont out to see how my
horse was progressing with his
corn, and on returning to the house
f found the family tucked away
snugly u bed. The old man \va8
in front, the two kids in the middle,
and the old woman next to the
wall.
Soon the music started, snores in
four different keys filling the room.
Quietly slipping off my shoes, and
taking the pillow, I lay acro.su tho
foot of the bed with my overcoat
over me. l was soon sleeping as
sweetly as though in rose
blankets and eider down. I low
long I slept I do not know, hut
I awoke with a feeling of suiTocation
and n toriible choking
'sensation. The (ire was burn
ing low, casting it? dim and ghostly
lighl iti fantastic figures on tho
walls, giving tho room a wild and
weird appearance, and in niy imagnation
I was In tho hands of garroters
and robt>ers.

nightmare, or 1 bad rolled unoonBOioualy

What "We" Signifies.
Anexchange explains it thin way:
Somebody who wants us t<> explain !
what is the editorial "wo" signifies,!
says its meaning varies to suit the
occasion. For instance when you
rend that "wo" ox poet our wife
lionio today, we refers to tho oditor
in elioif; when it's "wo" nre a little
late with our work it includes the j,
entire ofliee force, oven tho dovil
and tho towel. IT "we" are having
a boom, the town is meant; 'we1
received over 700,000 emigrants
last year, it embraces th? nation.
but 'we' hnvo got hog cholera in
our midst, only refers to tlio illness
of tho man who taken tlio paper
two or three years without
paying for it.?Ex
Yes, it is true, and wo hnvo a
devil of of a lot of hog cholera in
Pickens county, too.
