HOW THEY FINALLY GOT MARRIED.

One long summer afternoon there came
to Mr.. Davidson's the most curious speci-
men of an old bachelor the world ever
heard of. He was old, gray, wrinkled and
odd. He hated old women, especially old
maids, and wasn't afraid to say so. He
and Aunt Patty had it hot whenever
chance threw them together; yet still he
came, and it was noticed that Aunt Patty
took unusual pains with her dress when
ever he was expected.
One day the contest waged unusually
strong. and Aunt Patty left in disgust, and
went out into the garden.
That bear!' she muttered to herself,
as she stopped to gather flower which
attracted her attention.
what did you run for ?' said q gruff
voice behind her.
ITO get rid of you."
''You didn't do it, did you p:
"No; you are worse than burdock
burr"
you won't get rid of me, either"
81 won't eh?" te
"Only in one way
'And that?''
Marry me-"
"What us two fools get married! What
would people sayp'
That's nothing to us. Come, say yes
or no; I'm in a hurry
"Well, no, then"
Very well; good bye, shan't come
again"
"Stop bit-what a pucker you're in. !"
"Yes or no''
81 must consult"
CAN right; l thought you were of age.
Good bye"
"Jabez Andrews, don't be fool. Come
back, l say. Why, l believe the critter
has taken me for earnest. Jabez Andrews,
I'll consider"
81 don't want any considering I'm go
ing. Becky Hastings is waiting for me.

Patty. All right goodbye"

Drunkenness No Excuse for Murder

from inc Lexington DlSputchI
There is no possible way of finding
out whether man gets drunk to do
murder or not, and If he does murder
when he is drunk, the protection of
human life from violence and blood
shed, which is ofparamount and prime
Importance to the well-being of peo-
pie, ought to place the criminal before
the law just as if he had not been
drunk at all, keeping in view the fact
that we can not tell whether his pre-
meditation took this form of express
sion or that other Of doing murder with
"malIce aforethought' when he is
sober.
We must take to the shedding of
blood for blood, drunk or sober and do
away with all these nice shades of dis
tinction in the degrees Of murder In
the death of man al the hands of his
fellow. When murderers, of whom
there are many at heart, come to learn
that nothing short of the absolute and
plain necessity of saving their own
lives will justify the killing of anoth-
err, under the law, then, and not until
then, will the crime of murder abate.
This, and this alone, will guarantee Sc
curity of life in so far as law can do 1t.

ED. SPIRIT: AS we have not seen
anything from Green township in the
columns of your valuable paper for
some time we thought VIC would. drop
you Few lines.
Farmers are looking rather dispon-
dent; crops are looking poorly except
wheat and that is suffering from the
drouth.
The prospects for tobacco crop
never was as poor in this country; when
you meet farmer and ask how his to.
bacco plants look the answer nearly in
variably is, ooh, they are played out,
and l have planted my ground in corn,
that did expect to plant in tobacco -
Some will say, 81 may have plants
enough if it rains soon to plant an
acre"
The only thing at present that is
causing much excitement is roads
There appears to be quite stir at pres
ent in regard to having some alteration
and grading done on the road from
New Castle to Baresville.
On last Saturday week there was 8
meeting in New Castle for the purpose
of consulting in regard to the proposed
new road. Baresville was represented
by fifteen or twenty delegates. Dares
vile is very favorable to the road and
make very liberal offers.
1t is claimed that Baresville is oul
nearest point to the Ohio river by two
miles and the best road. There seems
to be some difference Of opinion in this
vicinity, in regard to the best route fol
the proposed road. On last Saturday
evening there was meeting at the Ir
win school house (more generally
known as Benwood) to consult in re
gard to the road. Baresville was vel
represented. There is another meeting
called at Baresvflle on next Friday. W.
suppose this vicinity will be well rep
resented and some road, probably
agreed upon. Baresville seems determ
ined on a road from this vicinity.
Business in our town has been toler
ably brisk this Spring. Merchants ant
mechanics appear to be busy. Th,
prospect for fruit is good.
