My First Joy-Ride. .—I was 19, Tessie Lou was 17; she was my sweetheart, and I thought I was her’n. It wa« August. There was to be a big all-day singing at Ebenezer church, 14 miles miles away, the following Sunday, and I desired with all of my soul to take Tessie Lou to that gathering. Come Thursday of that week, I asked Pa if I could use the buggy and old "Pete,'’ our slowest, tamest and gentlest mule to drive to the sing ing next Sunday. He w« sanxious for me to learn to sing, I reckon, so he studied a few minutes, bit 4 or 5 oat-straws in two, took a big chaw of ho-made tobacco, and nodded his head, but said: “You be careful with him and my buggy." Come Sunday: I was up at 5:30 polishing my shoes with dishwater grease, flattening my hair with lard, brushing up my old blue serge, and mashing the brim of my hat back in to shape. The chickens were shoo-ed out of the buggy, it was swept clean and dusted, old “Pete” was fed 6 ex tra ears of corn, and curried to a vel vet slick. Tessie Lou lived 4 miles away, so I was soon on my way. after the fight was over in the'day of election, except in the City third ending and the crippled boys of Charleston, where the polls shall were drsgged off the field, spudd Clark, were re-placed by some weak boys on the scrub teem, and every- boddy knowed right then that cedar lane would win. she kicked 2 gold post kickea in less than 30 minutes open at 7 o'clock in the forenoon, and in the Cities of Charleston and Col umbia where the closing hours shall he 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and shall be held open during these hours with out ihtermissidn or adjournment; and onner count of spudd and Judd Clark; the Managers shall administer to each were not in to keep them from buck ing thru the lines. ludd Clark went in for joe white in the fourth ending, and hell the left half-back to 2 fumbles, 3 kicks and 4 passes; these netted cedar lane only 33 tallies, but the homo team got holt to the ball in the last half of the fourth ending and kicked 2 fine golds in less than 10 minutes, and tied up the score as followers: person offering to vote an oth that he is qualified to vote at this election, according to the Constitution of this State, and that."he has nnt voted dwr^ • Mayer’s Mill.—G.

Within three days game, and it would of benn a. differ-.1 thereafter, the Chairman of the Board When me and old “Pete” drove up in front of Tessie’s house, there she was, dolled up to a Cinderilla fin ish. Pretty? Pretty? You hush your mouth. Smell good? I say— you're whistling. She got in by her- se+f, and then we drove on toward Ebenezer. Old “Pete” wasn’t feeling very well that day, but we made be twixt 3 and 4 miles in high. We talk ed about the pretty sun, the cute bug gy umbrella, and how nice old “Pete looked. -„ We never thought of sitting close to one another. I was so nervous and bashful, I turned real pink when I ran over a stump and Tessie Lou fell up against me. I apologized. I had a pocket full of raw goobers. We ate them in a few minutes. Then I brought out a handful of rhinky-pins. She enjoyed half of them also, and then I knocked her cold: I sneaked foot of my inside coat pocket) a big straked-stripedy stick of candy. She seemed to like her half of it very much. t- i We spent the day at Ebenezer and hoth of us sung a right smart. We et dinner with my Uncle Josh Brown. We had a big time talking and laughing and making faces. But we had to leave about 2:30 in order for her to get back home in time to milk. Old “Pete” was still sick, but we drove right on. I never thought of holding her hand or nothing till the next day. We didn’t have much to talk about, but I counted that one of the biggest trips of my life. Tessie Lou kicked me the next eek, and a year later, she married Ike Wilkins, and he never dodne a ny good either.
