attributes of small watermelon village.
It has quantity of individuals, more or
less whp ahin ahst e ,sa@ts g
note in public print. One of these, with a
personal mention thirst, engaged the at
tention of Mr.. Bates at an early hour yes
terday morning. He stepped in suddenly,
wearing long linen duster and carrying o
palm leaf fan, and said ST am going
away" aGlad to hear it, said Bates,
who evidently did not comprehend the case,
or else he felt pleasure that the visitor was

reckon dey won't put you in de paper

man laughed at the simplicity OF Bates,
but he efts memorandum for the reporter,
to the effect that sour old and esteemed
friend, the courteous and ever popular
Washington Smith, the well-known shirt
dealer of Cross street, left the city last

expected to be absent some weeks, and
that he should have new stock of goods

decided to purchase tall hat and red
necktie ID New York if successful in his
undertakings. !" Here, said Mr.. Smith,
