His Newt CateChism
LAtlanta Constitution. J

Bobbie was sitting quietly in the shadow
of the well house reading a dime novel.
His mother called out to him five times to
bring in some stove-wood, but he was so alb
sorbed in the tale that he imagined he heard
only the Indians calling for more wood to
pile around the white Lily about to
be burned Mt the stake. But his father
came around under the well-house shadow
and demanded to know:
What book is that sir 2?
Bobbe remembered that the old man
couldn read and that he was awfully down
on dime novels, to boot so he replied
i" It's my new catechism, sir -
Exactly - said the old man, and point
ing to the picture on the back: What S
that picture thar, sir? '
Why, that's the angel in the burnin'
bush, pa; | thought you know that
It's a nasty, sinking dime novel, that 5
what it is ~ interposed Boobies ma.
And the next minute Bobbie was spin
ming round like fellow hung with a shirt
collar, and the old man was tanning him
with slipper, and asking Bobbie all these
hard conundrums:
That a new kattykism, Ell ? And the
angel in the burnin' brush heap, Ell And

And when the old man finished and Bob

to the hOrse-lot and remarked that ne fel

Mr.. Slueher, probably the largest
man this State ever produced, died
last Friday evening, about one mile
from Greeuevil!e Mr.. Slu>her was
only 10 year, old, and when young
had very severe attack Of rheuma-
tism. which drew him out Of shape
If Mr.. Slusher had not been crippled
he would have been nine feet high.
His boot was IS inches long, and one
of his hands was about the size of four
ordinary ones. He could sit on a chair
and pick up anything three feet from
him. His head would measure about
IA inches around. He measured y feet
around the chest.
The coffin containing the rmains
was 81 feet long, % inches wide, and
p feet deep. He was buried at Mount
Bethel last Saturday.-GreenepiLte In

Home Interests.

An exchange says: When you get

you TO pay for it, you often get accom-
mediation from the merchant or me-
chanic of your town or neighbOrhood,
who waits till it Is convenient for you
to pay for it. But then, again, when
YOU have some funds on hand, DO you
think of this and go and spend your
money with those who accommodated
you, and thus keep the home currency

do you make up an order, getting

After an enforced silence of a month,

has been no dearth of news in and
around our lively burg" for the past
weeks. There can no longer be any
doubt that there is great deal of law

are If almost daily occurrence. The
" good work. over which a certain
youth was 80 exullaut a few weeks
ago, is now really going on, at rate
that should satisfy even him. \ week
ago IA negro was lodged in Jail for the
murder Of his wife Two or three
others are also in for committing a
deadly assault upon two harmless old
people few miles out of town. A
negro woman was accidently killed a
few days ago, in scutfle over loaded
pistol.
j. NJ. Cross, citizen of our county,
was shot near his home few nights
ago; and died instantly. David Fnt-

MOURNER ALA MODE,

l saw her last night at a party
1.-THE elegant party Mt Mcad'sI,
Ard looking remarkably hearty
For window so young in her weeds.
Yet | know she was suffering sorrow
Too deep for the tongue to express,
Or why had she chosen to borrow
So much from the language Of dress?
Her shawl was ms sable as night;
Her gloves were ms dark as her shawl;
And her iewels-that flashed in the light
Were as black MS a funeral pail;
Her robe had the hue of the rest
How nicely it fitted her shapel
And the grief that was hesviug her breast
Boiled over in pillows Of Grape
What tears Of vicarous woe,
That else might have sulled her face,
We're kindly permitted to flow
In ripples of ebony lace
While even her fan, in its play.
Had quite a lugubrious scope,
And seemed to be waving away
The ghost of the angel Of hope
Yet rich as the robes of queen
Was the sombre apparel she wore
Pm certain l never had seen
Such n sumptuous sorrow before
And | couldn't help thinking the beauty,
In mourning the loved and the lost.
Was doing her coniugal duty,
Altogether regardless OF cost.
One surely would say a devotion
Performed at go vast au expense
Betrayed an excess Of emotion

THE SEEKING OF GOD should be the
prologue to all our affairs; we are en-
Joined first to pray, and then deter
mine: Thou shalt make thy prayer
unto him; thou shalt also decree a
thing, and it shall be established unto
thee.n The interesting Providence in
our concerns is the highway To success.
The reason that we mi-carry is because
we consult not God, but determine
without him, and then we have no
reason to complain Of him for not
prospering our way when we never
commended our affairs to his conduct.

Property Holders.
Ever since Col. McGuee assumed
charge of the Memphis aud Charleston
Railroad, he has been anxious to ex-
tend his road through the city Of Mem.
phis to the banks Of the Mississippi, so
that cars could be ferried over the great
river, and sent on through to Little
Rock. The City Council granted the
charter, but the property holders on
the proposed line objected, aud it
was feared would restrain the
work 10y an injunction from the
Chancery Court. But plan was
devised 10 avoid this little
annoyance and was carried out sue
cessfully. On last Saturday night
wurkmen of the NJ. and G.. II. II. be-
gan vigorously to lay down their track
from the old depot through the city to
the banks of the river. All of Satur-
day night, all Of sunday aud Sunday
night. the work went vigorously on,
and early Monday morning cars were
run over the track To the river. The
road having h--u put in active opera
ton and the track laid, tue officers OF
the road have been ad"ised that an in
junction can not interfere with the
running of trains. The improvement
Is a valuable one to the road. HertO-
fore II has cost ten dollars per car 10
transfer freight over the Mississippi
from the old terminus of the road
now il can be done for very much less,
and all handling of goods is saved
Cars can now be run through from
Norfolk to Little Rock, and the ad-
vantage to the Virginia and Tennessee
through line will be very great.
