Why Phil HODGE Deserted His Bride
the Deg A ser the Wedding.
CINCINNATI EnQuirer.l

Ten years ago, in Lewis County, Ky.
young lawyer named Phil. Hodge married
Miss Addie Sillet, amid flowers. music and
the hearty congratulations of friends. At
early dawn Hodge left the house. and in
passing out he met servant of his wife's
father to whom he said: Tell your master
/ am gone forever" The new made father
in law, upon receiving this message, hurried
TO his daughters room, where, to his amezs-
ment. he found her still in her wedding
robes, with hair disheveled and veil torn of,
and in state of great excitement. 4 severe
spell of fever followed. but never, in her
widest delirluni, did she hetray the cause
of her agony, and thus it has remained q
theme OF conjecture ever since. To friend
! the other day, she, for the first time told the
! cause Here Is
HEB STORY:
LION Toilet and 1 have been raised to-
gether. l had received most marked atten-
ton from him, but never dreamed of mar
ryiDg him, for he had mother and sister
depending upon him for livelihood. Phil.
Hodge, whom / had known a few years,
courted me. | accepted him, and my ad-
miration for him tempted me TO believe l
loved him. The night of our wedding. Lon
and were sitting a little apart from the
1 crowd; our conversation was only OF our
selves and confess ] then felt Lon loved
| me and he was more of my happiness than
had ever dreamed. Phil. Hodge overheard
a few words and saw our earnest manner.
When he came to my room he found me
dressed still as | was when left the psrlor,
and showing his surprise, asked me what
was the matter with me, 10 which | au-
swered, as indifferently as possible, Moth
ing We exchanged several commonplace
remarks, after which he asked me, quite
harshly: 'Addie, did Lon Toilet ever tell
| you he loved your l answered, No.
| What was your conversation tonight His
! eyes were upon me; dared not tell aught
but the truth they seemed TO pierce me
| through.
I TOLD THE WHOLE TRUTH,
and when / had finished he said with cold
ness, calmness and stubborn resolution,
'Addie. You love Lon Follett; he shall marry
you. We will never meet again. / begged
him on my knees not to leave me, but it was
of no avail. When the dawn came he kissed
nee goodbye and with God bless you,
passed out from me forever, My feelings
were indescribable; the room was horrible
in its darkness: my mind lost its reasoning
powers; and thus l passed many weeks
Through a mutual friend heard from him
often-of his wanderings, desolate life. and
death on the frontier. Well have our blight
ed lives paid the penalty of a false step.
When Lon heard of his death he came i'm
mediately to see me. l refused to see him.
Then he wrote me long letter, telling Of
his love, his never forgetting me an hoJsl
these long years, And / have consented &c
marry him; but we will not meet till oul
wedding night, January 8, 1879"

THE CoIoRED ExnDUs FROM LOUISIANA
a private letter from Grassmcrc, ConcDrdia
Parish, La. April 81, gives some interesting
dctalis concerning the exodus Of colorcd
people fr"m that extensive cotton plantation
nciShborhood. The writer snys:
"Fhc Kansas immigration fever struck the
c"iored people on the plantations of Tensas
River, .At Tuesday, and several families
moved out to tho landing from CLAYTON \
place, Indian Villagc and kimball's Bayou
Place. This was an incentive to those Mt
W cicnma and Windcrmerc and the majority
| OF them followed. There arc now $50 on
tho landing; so Mt Rifle Point Landing, and
200 at Vidnlia awaiting transportation. Tho
crowd here has had no recruits since Wednes-
day night last except one family. Tho cmi-
grants are from Tensas River Woicama and
Windermcre, with strngglcrs here and there
from Lake st. John and tho Island AS vet
nonc have left plantations OF Pittsfeld Grass.

remain on Windcrmcrc, Weicama and Clar.
mont plantation has lost twenty-five working
hands, and Pnnola about The sumo numbcr
Eerrida has lost none. nor has any of the
plantations on toward Vilalia Spukon

TWO or three families remain, while Smart

none nl MI.
In order to enable them to move the nc.
grocs have toa great extent sacrificed their
property to designing mon. They have sold
COWS for SIS and So, hogs for 81 and ~,
chickens for cents and 10 cents each, horses

80 high horo that designing mon who wished
to buy tho property Of tho families had omis-
sarlos in advance, frightening tho negroes BY
tho most ridiculous stories, while they fol-
lowed and bought at ruinous figures. 1
think, however, the movement has now about
spent its forco. The whites concluded it best
to shut off all means of transportation, and
have thus far succeeded but several who have
observed tho situation closely hayo concluded

listen to no reason, and are absolutely deter.

Business has been quite good for the
last ten days Farmers are nearly all
through putting in their small grain,
wheat is up and looks well considering
the dry weather.
Miss Bernice Virgins is recovering from
a severe fit of illness. She was taken sick
early last spring and confined to her bed,
all summer. AS cold weather came on
last fall she began to feel better, and has
been able to be around all winter, al
though rather feeble. Under DR.. Hoyt's
care she is recovering rapidly.
W. H. Owens starts Thursday with two
! car loads of cattle for the Chicago Mar.
ket
The Walnut boys seem bent on keeping
Saturday as day of recreation. There
is horse racing every Saturday afternoon,
and last Saturday large crowds came in
to witness the sport. There was betting
going on, as is usual in such cases, and we
understand that mony changed hands in
some instances.
The Methodists are making arrange.
ments for building church. A meeting
was held Saturday for the purpose of ap.
pointing Trustees. The church will be
built on the west side of the town.
J. Fl. Anderson has commenced work
ON his new dwelling house.
Miss Mary Ingalls, has been confined to
her bed about ten days with severe head.
ache. TWAS feared that hemorrhage of the
brain had set in in, one side of her face
became partially paralyzed. She is now
slowly convalescing.
Competition seems to be the life OF
trade. Since Burns and Owens got on
flour for sale we can get it twenty-five
and thirty per cent. cheaper then we have
been paying. There are now three foul
stores in this burg.
Mr.. Pratt, of Pleasant Grove Olmstead
County is making arrangements to build
hotel in town. If necessary arrange.
ments are made he will commence imme.
diately.
The town presents a different appear.

meeting was held in Masters Hall. The
services in the Congregational Church
were discontinued to give opportunity to
