1. CANDY PULLING in GEORGIA.
AND HOW IT WAS VERY SUDDENLY BRO
KEN UP.

Il
a party Of Georgia girls had ar.
ranged to have q candy,pulling at the
residence Of Mr, Jones, the father OF
one Of the girls. Now, it happened
that Mr.. Jones had bachelor bro
ther living with him, q good natured,
kindly sort Of man, Int -aWfully
bashful in the presence Of women
particularly young women. Uncle
Dick, as our bachelor friend vas call
ed, had not been notified Of the can
|dy-pulling arrangements, the inten
ton Of the girls being TO monopolize
all this sweetness TO themselves
On the evening in question Uncle
Dick was busily engaged, in the best
room Of the house, changing his lin,
en-, preparatory toia business visittto
the village, little dreaming Of tLeca-

future. He had already dofIedl his

OF bevy Of young girls approach,

Nearer, nearer they came, This inva

Dick than an army with banners
In another moment the rustic Of tkeil
dresses fell upon his ears like deatl
knell. They were at the very TIRES
hold Of the room, and the door wa.
unlocked. Oh, horror of liorrors!-
What was this bachelor forlorn Il
Lido to be saved from the fate tia
seemed awaiting him. HE who hes

There was but one way out Of th,
lawful dilemma in which he fount
