Boy LIFTED BY A KITE-NARRow EsCAPE.-A
young lad at Lake station, Miss, had very large
and beautiful kite presented TO him, about SIX feet
by four in size, which he attempted to raise just as
the WIND was increasing and storm was threaten
ing. The wind drew the kite SO heavily as TO drag
the boy along Also To prevent losing the favOrite
he wound the cord around his body. At last the
gust bore kite and boy along in the rapid air cur
rents. The boy seemed to be about 100 feet above
the earth and the kite I've times that distance. At
last the young kite flyer caught IN the top OF tree
and was suspended seventy-fve feet above the
ground Hood OF rain came on, slackenng the
line abang the wind and allowing the little suferer
to be rescued. lie was found to be unconscious and
so bruised and marred to be scarcely recognized
but was restored the same evening and is now doing

10 issue marriage licenses Is serious
ly felt in this end other counties at
present, ard some langhahle scenes
occur occasionally whea soma emo
h anxious 10 take unto himself q
rib. The following Is related 10 Us
ss having happened not moro than
O thousand miles from WaSahachie;
A tall strapping looking fellow
stepped into tho County Clerks
otiico tho day aitor his roinoyal and,
proiiering tho customary dollar,
said:
"Soo here, Mister, want to buy
one Of thom 'ere licenses"
"You are too late" replied tho
Clerk, "I have been removed from
Office in CONSEQUENCE of not bolng
ahloto take tho iron clad oath, and
no ono in this county is authorized
10 issue marriage licenses.
"Now, como, Mister yer jokin',
aint ycr2' . ..." -.
"No, sir, it's q fact" a. u.
"But wouldn't yer lot fellcr

Cant do il, sir. i have no au-
thority to do So" -.-. - -.f..
lBlt, yer could date it back,
couldn't yer, stranger?, Como, now,

yop.". ...st .s as .-.
II was ovidcnt, from the soft, por-
suasive tono in which this was de-
livcrod, that tho applicant consider
ed it a clinchcr, but the Clerk rc
Piled e.
"Hhch obliged to you, sir, and
would like to accommodatoyou, but
the marriage would be illegal"
Getting somewhat excited, ho cx-
claimcd: @ ~. b..
"Lools here, Mister, what in
h-ll is q fellcr to do?'' '''
"Wcll, sir" replied tho much
amused Clerk, ''you will havo to
put off your marriage until another
county clerk is appointed" 77 'fr
. s"Put off hill and d-n," he cx-
claimed in towering rage, and re-
pockoting his dollar he made for
the grocery to drown his trouble,
and from which ho emerged some
time after about thrcc sheets in the
wind, with his coat of, hatin hand,
shirt open and nearly out of his
pants, and fairly foaming at the
mouth with rage, cxclaiming:
