"TuAT Hoe OF MINE."-The Greenbrier
Independent says this is the way il hap
pencd A few weeks ago lady friend OF
ours, OF this place, attended The dedication
ceremonies of the NJ. Z. Church, South,
at Ronceyerte. That laughter-proyoking
preacher Laughcrty Lalferty), editor OF the
Richmond Christian Advocate, having
delivered one OF his best dlscourScs, it
afterwards became the duty OF the Off
GERS OF the church to raise subScrlp-
ton from the congregation present to
finish the payment OF the balance
due on the construction OF the building
which had Just been dedicated to pious
work. The deacons faithfully entered upon
their duties, earnestly soliciting aid. Our
good friend was approached, and Sue de-
clared that she did not have dime about
her, and that she was not prepared to sub
scribe one cent. The deacons Insisted, but
she resisted. They were 'eXorab!e'; she
was ineXorablc. Brother Boude took the
stand and narrated an incident. 1t was
about Il porker. 1t was to this effect: A
similar appeal had been made on former
occasion at another point. The appealel
stated that unless donation was made the
party refusing would lose hog. There was
one obstinate party in the congregation who
held out, and would not contribute 'worth
q cent Returning home, his hog (he only
one he had) was found dead, lying with his
feet turned towards the skies. The seQue
to the story is this: Our LADY friend, above
referred to, returned to her home from the
meeting at Ronceverte, and sure enough hel
oulv hog was dead in the pen. This Is nc
Joke. Truth is sometimes stranger thar

NOT SUCH Fool AFTER ALA cer-

rented cottage here, and in Il day be was
satisfied that he had been charged an eXorbI-

was also his milkman therefore to this milk
man the eye-doctor, the first morning he
arrived after the discovery Of the swindle,
said Mine friend, vat ish the matter NIT
your right eye?" There was nothing wrong
with the mans eye, but knowing the pro-
fession OF bis questioner, he very naturally
took alarm, and he replied: "Nothing; bat
perhaps Eve taken little cold" sin two
months" solemnly went on the doctor, "you
will be blind in your right eye, but perhaps
can cure him." The Jerseyman: '.But
don't feel any pain; still, if there is any
danger, you had better treat me-" And he
did treat kim-I may say he treated him
very badly, for in week or two he actually
had the fellow nearly blind. Then he cHred
him; then followed the bill-a pleasant lit
tie document OF two or three hundred dol
lars-and when the amount of the rent Of
the cottage was deducted the German was
considerably in pocket. He smoked his
pipe and smiled serenely, as he murmured: !:

TAKING STATISTICS-DoING THE CITY-A SAD
MISTAKE" WE'RE GOING HOME"
The merchants excursion to Richmond
this week was big affair. Two long trains
pulled into the depot at Richmond, and de-
posted fully one thousand excursionis!s.
OF course everybody loves to go on eX-
cursions. Excursions are Invaluable aids
to statisticians. About nightfall we LETT our
seat to hunt water, and in that way came TO
make statistics. We counted the cars. then
the seats, and the people in the seats, over
and over again, and each time 1t came OUT
one seat less for us. We had to stand. we
collected and noted many valuable points
for statisticians-viz.,h how long the human
system can endure without water, ana now
soundly one can sleep standing, with PACK
braced against the stoye-pipe, etc.
But to return to the excursion. We ar
rived in Richmond at daylight. the dusti-
est, dirtiest, worn.out crowd ever cmptied
into Richmond. After breakfast every one
scattered off in various directions to see the
city. AS for us, we were escorted TO slX-
horse turnout and had a delightful drive
around the city in company with Major
Dame, Tom Evanssoi the Reidsville Times,
and an old friend OF Toms. After this we
visited our editorial brethren OF the city.
The DiSpatch was our general headquarters.
II space permitted we could 60 into de-
scription OF lis magnificent establishment
and handsome corps Of editors. but that
must lay over for some other time.
At 3 in the evening the cXcursionistS
were to take the train for the Fair Grounds.
where the banquet was to be given, and
trotting races, glass-bal shooting, etc., wit
messed. We ate no dinner, desiring to save
ourself for the banquet and go into it IN
good fashion, and at the appointed hour
started for the depot. On the way we
passed Tom Evans, and in company with
| him went on to the cars. We took seat IN
a coacn, cooked our feet on the back OF tho
seats, and soon both OF Us were in the laro
OF nod. We had slept half hour or SO
when gentle tap and "Tickets !" reused
us. We presented our Fair-Ground ticket:
to the conductor and be looked surprised
| He wanted our other ticket. We told hin
| we're going to the Fair-Grounds to get din
ner. He told us we were going to Dan
vile. Yea, it was even so. We had taker
the wrong train and were speeding home
We looked at Tom. Tom looked at Us
