We are proud to know of ''Wax-
les" ability to glide with so much
ease over the sold, old story" we so
often hear about young doctors and
paregoric. We can't help envying
him for his good luck, but perhaps
ought not to, if we consider the
conditions he fell into so suddenly
last Sabbath eve. 1t was very re
markable to see how he could coil
himself, and his lady friends looked
after him with amazement, wonder
ing what such an everlasting bow
could mean. Very fortunate that
he was possessor of a little pare
goric. Now you keep it, "WaXie,"
and when next this dire visitor
"pops the question" in your glory,
Just step aside, take dose and rest
upon my belief. It will bluff him
Immediately. A little camphor is
said to greatly enhance its efficacy
in such cases. If sometimes, in
your midnight wanderings, you
chance to stumble unconsciously
against a cart wheel" as boys some
times do, and something more seri-
Gus attacks you, perhaps it would
be well to call in a doctor. Pare
goric might not prove so efieacious
in a case of this kind. would like
the best you can imagine to ac-
knowledge my mistake, but "some
how / can't" as a big girl would
say, who is one of the multitude
which calls itself Gilmore" Quite
small number for so large a mum
Der. Women are good creatures,
but somehow they win double on n
fellow when necessary.
Thomas DAILY has new suit Of
clothes. 1t is a beautiful gray, and
he dons it on extra occasions only.
Tommy, be careful with that pare
goric, else put on your bib and some
one will bestow the merited kiss
when you call again.
A social was given at the resi-
dence OF Capt. Ridgway some even
ings since, and Notwithstanding the
lnclemency Of the weather, it was
largely attended. Capt. Ridgway
and his lady are very indulgent,
consequently the young people took
huge liberties and enjoyed them
selves immensely. Miss Mollie
Reed, a very charming Young lady
of Prospect and sister to John
Reed of this place, the best fellow
in America, was in attendance.
Town Constable ID. McC. is erect
ing a magnificent building east of
the Square, but it is not sufficiently
near completion yet to tell what he
intends to keep in it.
Miss Lizzie Bridgforth, of Ath
ems, is also visiting relations 81 this
place. Hope she will make her
visit this time longer than she
usually does.
A sad disappointment befel the
boys and girls call fools day" OF
course they all expected their
aprons and hats full. but the p. NJ.
was out of humor that morning and
sent their April fools whirling to
destruction. But the cunning
~Waxie" being on hand, espied his
name during the muddle, and
promptly rescued the package,
which proved to be a rag doll very
elegantly dressed and exquisitely
perfumed with the most delicate OF
all perfumes. in some cases turpen-

We are glad to see the people OF
Elkton taking so much interest in
the church. A number OF the good
Methodists assembled Wednesday
at the II. L. Church and dccked the
pulpit with a very beautiful carpet.
Our preacher, Mr. Travis, must step

Mr.. Ezell returned from Nashville
yesterday. He reports the city dull
and goods cheap. Now for some
more high mathematics, a big stock
OF goods 10 be stored in the brick
then the thIrty-six inch yard stick
will everlastingly whirl. Don'i
