She was clad in her bridal dress
She knew he was ready to greet her,
And she longed for his fond caress.
Twas the robe she would wear Oh the
morrow,
And she wanted her lover to see
How fair was his chosen flower
How beautious his darling could be,
And hope with her glittering fingers
Babe her look to the life before,
And she smiled in the mirth Of her spirit,
AS she stood at the study door.
Years passed-three short years of glad
ness
And the stream of her young life flowed
Like the stream of laughing rivulet
When the sunshine knows no cloud.
And again doth she stand on the threshold
Where she stood on that happy night,
But her eyes are no longer laughing,
Her dress is no longer white
And the sorrow that plays o er her features
Is as dark as the robe she wears,
And a wreath of undying flowers
To lay on the dead she bears.
For he never again shall greet her;
He shall rise to receive her no more !;
The voice which she loved is silent
As she waits at the study door.
Then her step was SO firm and eager;
1t is now so subdued and low;
Then twas he who had stopped to kiss her;
She must kneel TO kiss him now.

DALLAS DOTS.

Our little village is again freed
from Bacchus and its fruits. Men,
women and children and even the
vegetable creation seems to be infa-
ted with an amount of gratitude that
is beyond expression, even the
streets and houses, both animate and
inanimate nature, looks cheerful and
gay. God forbid that these parts of
creation should ever be again bur-
dened with such nuisance. Our
very efficient and courteous Ordi-
nary has affirmed that he will not
during his reign as Ordinary license
any one to do that which degrades
themselves and cause others to do
things detrimental to the interest
and good name of our county. All
is peace and joy and quiet. Long
Heart overlooked this important
item. | can, Mr.. Editor, invite you
to come, and tell all your friends to
come and visit Dallas without fear of
molestation or insult. All is now
we'll. So MAY IT BE.

LAWYER AND WITNESS.

A story is told Of very eminent
lawyer receiving a severe reprimand
from a witness on the stand whom he
was trying to browbeat. 1t was an
important issue, and in order to save
his cause from defeat,it was necessa-
ry that MIR. A should impeach the
witness. He endeavored to do il on
the ground of age. The following
dialogue ensued.
How old are you 2
'Seventy-two y years of age replied
the witness.
Your memory, Of course, is not
80 brilliant and vivid as it was
twenty years ago is it ? asked the
lawyer.
Il do not know but it is, replied
the witness.
State some circumstances which
occurred, say twelve years ago, and
we shall be able to see how we'll you

Il appeal to your honor if / am to

tion,' the judge replied.
well, if you compel me to do it, 1
will. About twelve years ago you
studied in Judge BIS office, did

yes, answered the lawyer.
We'll, sir, remember your father
coming into my Office and saying to
me, 'Mr. D, my son is to be ex-
amined tomorrow, and | wish you

also, sir, that from that day to this
be has never paid me that sum. That,
sir, | remember as though it was but

THAT will do, sir, meekly said the
lawyer.
Il presume it will, answered the
witness.

ON the very summit of the Rocky
Mountain range, at spot from which
one stream rises to flow into the Pa
cifc ocean and another to aow into
the Atlantic ocean, a gold mine of
great richness has been discovered.
A shaft has been sunk eighty feet,
and has yielded $1,000, besides a
large amount of ore still to be work.
ed. Three veins have been discov-
cred, one of which is thirteen feet
wide and very rich. The core is
eighteen inches wide, and will assay
from 81, 900 to 50 900 a too. The
entire lead covers 5000 feet, and is
the most valuable mining property in
Montana. 1t is owned by N. 5.

A Hart county paper says: We
have in Hart county, Kentucky, a
man by the name of VIM. Bowman,
who was thrown away in the Appal-
achee Mountains. North Carolina,
when an infant, and was found by
an old bear and adopted as cub.
AT the age of about ten years he was
captured, tied hand and foot, and
then his captors found that he could
not talk, nor could he be persuaded
to take any food but milk, which he
sucked from a bottle, showing that
he had lived solely by the nursing
of the bear. Bowman is now
farmer near Omega, and any one
doubling the truth of this statement
can have it verified by seeing him.

SUPPORT YoUR COUNTY PAPER.

The Louisville Courier Journal
says-"One of the frat duties of a
good citizen is to aid as far as he
can in supporting his county paper,
for that paper can do more to pro"
mote the moral, intellectual and ma
terial interests of his county than any
or all other agencies. Show US a
county which literally supports a
good newspaper, and we will show
you a county whose people are intel
ligent, enterprising and prosperous.
A good newspaper hourishes only
where the people of the county are
known abroad for their intelligence
and their prosperity in all the pur-
suits of life. About the best county
to move from is one which does not
support or supports indifferently its
newspaper. About the best county
to move into is one which does sup
port and sustains it's newspaper"

"a suit for $4,000 damages was in-
stituted in the Common Pleas Court,

against the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad Company. He alleges that
he bought ticket over the road, and
entered a car at Paris, Tenn, to
come over to Louisville. At Dan

car by the conductor, named Balch,
although he had presented his ticket,
and offered money 10 addition, to

considers himself injured in reputa>

THE PRINTERS EsrArH.

The printers dollars, where are
they A dollar here, dollar there,
scattered over numerous small towns
all over the country, miles and miles
apart-how are they to be gathered
together9 We imagine the printer
will have to get up an address to
those widely scattered dollars some
thing like the following;
"Dollars, halves and quarters,
dimes and all manner of fractions
into which ye are divided, collect
yourselves and come home Ye are
wanted! Combination of all sorts of
men that help the printer to become
proprietor, gather such force and
demand with good reason your ap
pearance at his counter, that nothing
short of sight of you will appease
them. Collect yourselves, for valu
able as you are in the aggregate,
single you will not pay the cost of
gathering. Come in here in single
file, that the printer may form you
into battalion, and send you forth
again, to battle for him and vindicate
bis credit"

THERE is too much fault finding
and snarliug-too little cheerfulnesS

the reason why there is no more
happiness here. If everybody went
singing and laughing through life
what happy, comfortable world this
would be. Laugh and grow fat, !"
is an old adage. That's it-that's
the way to smooth the rough edges Of
life. Aye, "laugh and grow fat )"
and if you can't grow fat by Iaugh>
ing, laugh anyhow. IT'S a superior
tonic and won's nurt you. If you
have a sore throat, or boil on your
lips, or bad teeth, and can't laugh,
smile; smile with your eyes; gestic-
ulate or gyrate in token of the joy
that is in you. Whatever you do
don't snarl, don't look grum, don't

the prose out of lie, and pave your
passage through this world with
happiness and bright, sparkling sun.

JAMES GILMORE
Still Refuses TO Give Up the Stolen
Money.

James Gilmore, the United States Express
robber, was brought to this city Saturday
night, and relying on his promise to show
the officials in what place he hid the money,
special train over he Southern Railroad
was engaged for 5000 to take party to
Crittenden, Kentucky
AT o'clock yesterday morning the train,
bearing Gilmore, J. J. Henderson, Superin-
tendent of the United States Express Com
pany, Detective Larry Hazen and Andy
Mitchell, Of the Adams Express Company,
left.
Several stoppages were made before the
party reached Crittenden, but Gilmore
failed to identify the place where he said
the money could be found. When a place
indicated by Gilmore was searched, and
they failed to find it, he made the excuse
.hat they must have been mistaken as to
his bearings, and they had better go on a
little further. This was continued for some
time, unil it got to be monotonous. III
nally Crtiendel. was reacl.ed The same
old search was made, the ground was dug
up, but still the much-coveted wealth
eluded his eager gaze. BY this time ii be-
came patent to every member that Gilmore
had made dupes of them. The only thing
for them to do was to return, and this was
done the train arriving here at half-past 10
o'clock last night.
