When Mr. Thomas Thompson was court.
| ing the widow who became his sixth wife,
said he, taking pinch of anuff and look :
Ing wise, 81 tell you what expect of you,
my dear. You arc aware that / have had q
good deal Of matrimonial experience.
Ho-hum! it makes mo sad to think of it.
My lot in the cemetery is almost full, aud /
may truly say that my cup of misery would
DO running over at this moment il it wero
not for you. But to business. Iwas about
to romark that dane, my. first, could make
better coffee than any other woman in tho

for tho preparation of that beverage"
"My first husband frequently remarked"
began tho widow.
"And there was Susan" interrupted Mr..
Thompson. "Susan was the best mendor
that probably over lived. 1t was her de-
light to find u button off, and, as for rents
in coats and things, have seen her shed
tears of JOY when she saw them, sho was SO
desirous of using her needle for ther repair.
Oh! what woman Susan was!"
"Many is the timc," began the widow,
"that my first hus-"
"With regard to Anna, who was my third,

into tho window, or bearing to my plate a
particularly nice article OF slapjack, with
the remark, 'tbats the incest ono yet,
Thomas. Eat it while it's hot Some

tions arc quite ovcrpowcring"
lie applied lis handkerchief to his eyes,
and the widow said, "Ah! yes. l know
how it is myself, sir. Many is tho timo
that see in my lonely hours my dear first

"Tho pride aud JOY of Julia, my fourth,
and | may say, too, of Clara, my fifth," iu-
terrupted Mr.. Thompson, with some appa-
rcntly accidental violcnco of tone, "lay in

From tho Rome Cou:icr.l
kSill Arp.

After giving his experience as farmer at
"thrashing" time, and idcns upon the value
Of money, Bill Arp, in recent letter to the
Constitution, has this to say, which We
think so pertinent that wo make an extract,
not having room for tho whole letter:
l think understand these law makers
purity we'll It's to their intrust to make
money scarce. You SEQ they arc very
kecrfui not to reduce their own salaries,
tho ono dollar Will buy three times as much
now as it did whom they voted themselves
six thousand dollars year. Its no wonder
they "stand for re clcctiou." Human udtur
would stand forever on such hand as thut
But We, tho people, are Tho sutflroEs, for if
they don't reduce salaries they they can't reduce
taxes. We are iiGGsS iGsSs like then, mules TINT

Tho day long at the crack Of the whip, but
the wheat is all for the white folks. sup
pose we will git littlo {. tho straw. Times
use to was when the people called mau
from his retirement and axcd him TO serve
them oul; nowadays a fcller can hold ON to
on offs until no thinks it belongs to him.
Hc don't wait to be called, but he gifts there
frst-ahoad Of everybody and you can hear
him mumbling, "I'm in and III bo
burned if | aint goin' to stay in. Two got
somo pursonal friends and con get the
niggcrs and scalawags and you may 90 to
tho dovil with your convention"
You sec thoy control tho scalawngs by
kecpin' 'em in office, and scaawags control
the niggers and they all mix up hash to-
gether aud call it independence. This hash
party is q CROWN bigger and bigger, and
if our people don't mind will absoro q heap
moro sorebacks than Toombs. Bob pcvol
would work iu wagon with driver behind

could get in tho rear and butt it around like

sotne how or other like Bob--as man
not as very great man-fo for in my opinion
one man amt much greater than unotho

quantity Of conccit and impudenco. Time

The Mississippi plan of collecting tax>s
on drinks differs from tho Moffct system.
Books Of coupons arc sold by tho State
Auditor to all liquor dealers. When
drink is sold, tho consumer receives cou-
pon, which entities him to receive from, the
State, in payment Of his taxes, ono cent.
Il two drinks arc to be paid for, he receives
an orange colored coupon good for two
cents. Ii five drinks blue paper good
fiyo cents. Not only docs tho State enjoy an
income from tho tax on drinks, but tho
consumer has reasonable chance of paying
off taxes With coupons.
