MY VISIT.

My mind was made up and hastily gath
ering together few things and taking my
valise in hand | soon found myself at the
railway station and aboard the cars bound
for visit to my newly married friends from
whom | had just received news that they
had Just secured a cottage and had fixed up
quite a home-nest. and by the last mail
they had so kindly remembered their old
bachelor friend as to write letter asking me
to make them visit. | smiled to myself
many times as | would recall the past. and
how very unsophistcated they must bezsSkt
how awkward they must appear as host and
hostess, but soon the brakeman calls out
"Marietta" and as | had sent no letter to
herald my coming, l set out alone for
street and in less time than | have been
talking to you | was being received by
both Fred and his little treasure of wife,
who were just preparing to sit down to tea
in the dearest cosiest, little dining room
twas ever my fortune to enter. A chair was
soon placed for their visitor and friend and
surely no one will take o1ense when | say
| was never so elegantly entertained in my
liie-and again, no one must laugh when
acknowledge | was mentally resolving to
hunt out companion to sit opposite me at
the table and to prepare and arrange such
delicaces and tempting It'd bits, as there
enjoyed, for Myra assures me she supefin
tends and directs every thing herself, and
surely every thing was beyond compare,
and to be an invited guest in that house
was indeed an inestmable treat. 1t is in the
omestlc affairs Of every day lite that re-
gain the best insight into true character.
| confided in my friends and asked them to
help me set up an establishment like I'M
to theirs, which seemed to me little less than
. an enchanted bower, even now as visions OF
the tempting rolls, biscuits, buckwheat
cakes and waiiles which, would almost melt
when put in my mouth, the delicate cakes,
delightful meats and withall the happy
faces of Fred and his wife would remind
one of little harem where we could al
ways find comfort and rest, they both assur-
ed me of their hearty cooperation and |
shall long remember the smile that played
over Myra' face when she assured me that
all would be well if | would always buy my
groceries from McClatchy's store, for they
have learned he keeps only the best of Ba-
king Powders Fresh Canned Meats, fresh

A MYSTERY SOLVED.
Skeletons Found in an Old Gold Min,

Skeletons Found in an Old Gold Mine.
Seventeen years ago Miss Bagwell a
daughter OF Mr.. Willis Bagwell, disappear
ed from her home near Villa RIGA. AT the
time of her disappearance she was eaciente.
The last seen OF her was late one evening,
riding mule, two men accompanying her,
going in the direction of the old Villa Rica
gold mine. Her prolonged disappearance
was unaccounted for 1t was surmised that
her enraged father had sent her off to hide
her shame. Years rolled on and no tidings
came of her whereabouts and the matter
was almost forgotten.
Recently, work on the old Villa ltica gold
mines was resumed, and on Monday last,
workmen while exploring an old shaft some
70 feet deep, came across tie skeleton Of a
female and the skull of a child. A gold
breast pin was also found, which was ident-
flied as the one worn by Miss Bagwell at
the time she mysteriously disappeared II
years ago Whether she was foully muir
dered or committed suicide, is unknown.
A great deal of excitement was occasioned
by finding the supposed remains OF Miss
Bagwell and the Coroner is making thor
ough Investigation, so we learn from a re
liable person.
