WASHING A MERE PASS TIME.

DAWSON, GA May 9Th, 1888
MEssRs. U. L. WEsToY & Co.
1t affords me great pleasure to recon-
mend your Washing Machine and Wringer.
l have given it thorough trial and am
pleased with it. 1t not only washes clean,
but makes the labor of washing a mere
pass time; and, besides, one can wash the
finest laces or coarsest quilts and blankets
with as much ease and facility as a pocket
l would not be without
mine for any consideration.
Very Respectfully,
Mrs. T. j. BLACK.

MEssRs. U. L. WESTON & Co.
Gentlemen AT the solicitation of your
Mr.. Weston | carried home a few weeks
ago one of your Hawley Washing Machines
upon trial. We gave it fair and impair
tial trial and pronounce it wonderful sue
cess. l regard it the only machine that
ever saw that will wash and not iniure the
clothes. 1t does its work rapidlyan saves
a great deal of labor. Every family should
have one. My old colored washer-woman,
Immediately after trying it stated that if 1
would let her have the machine that she
would do the washing of my family the
balance of the year for nothing, thereby
saving me some $18 or $50.

Food for Thought.

Hope is the brightest star in the
armament of youth.
1t is wisdom to think, and folly to
sit without thinking.
The weakest kind of fruit drops
earliest to the ground.
Heaven will permit no man to Sc
cure happiness by crime.
To indulge a Consciousness of good
ness is the way to loose it.
No man was ever so much deceiv-
ed by another, as by himself.
Had there never been a cloud,
there had never been a rainbow.
Few advise how to make money,
many how to spend it.
A proud man never shows his
pride so much as when he is civil.
Trust that man in nothing who
has not a conscience in everything.
The one prudence in life is con-
centration, the one evil dissipation.
The usual result of complaint is to
excite contempt more than pity.
Sorrow is not selfish, but many
persons are in sorrow entirely sell
fish.
Nothing except battle lost can be
half so melancholy as a battle won.
To live long it is necessary to live
slowly; to live happily to live wise
ly.
We should never throw off polite
ness even in our conflicts with coarse
people.
The gratitude of most men is but
a secret desire of receiving greater
benefits.
Humility is a virtue all preach,
none practice, and yet everybody is
content to hear.
Moderation is the silken string
running through the pearl chain Of
all virtues.
Select that course of life which is
best, and custom will render it more
pleasant.
A silent hour under the stars may
whisper to your soul great thought
Of eternity.
If we find no faults ourselves, we
should not take pleasure in observ-
ing those of others.
Those who have no patience of
their own forget what demand they
make on that of others.
Man cannot dream himself into a
noble character, he must achieve it
by diligent effort.
More helpful than all wisdom is
one draught Of simple human pity
that will not fvrsake us.
Let friendship creep gently to q
height; if it rush to it, it may soon
run itself out Of breath.
True goodness is like the glow
worm it shines when no eyes, ex
cept those of Heaven, are upon it.
To enjoy good thing exclusively
is very often to exclude yourself from
the true enjoyment of it.
Good fortune and bad are equally
necessary to man to fit him to meet
the contingencies of life.

Men are born with two eyes, but
with one tongue, in that they shonld

Only that is truly beautiful which

My wife has had very strong prejudice
against all kinds of patents for years, and,
especially, washing machines SO strong
was her prejudice in this direction that
even after l had bought one of your
washers and carried it home | found it
difficult to prevail upon her to try it. Her
mind was made up from the beginning not
to like it, but to her great delight, after
once trying it, she is prepared to say that
it is all you claim for it, The washer is a
remarkable success, and, in my Judgement,
every house-keeper should get one Just as
soon as possible. 1t saves a vast deal of
labor and trouble, and am satisfied that it
saves at least one-half the soap

Thc Alexandria Gazette says: Charles
Tatsapauch. aged fourteen years, son OF
MIS-. susanna V. TatSapaugh, who lived
with his grandmother, Mrs. Price. on
Cameron street near Fairfax, was drowned
in the river on Saturday morning last.
The unfortunate boy with several compan-
lons-Cook. Rodier. Proctor. Nogelgesang,
Rutler, and Peverili-went across the river
I'm small boat belonging to the schooner
Annie Bell. which is lying at Queen street
dock, and after roCing about for some
time started TO return. Taisapaugh,
who was in the bow, it Is said by
some OF his friends, was knocked over
board by the sudden careenng Of the boat,
caused by the swells from passing steam
er, when near thc channel bank on the Ma
ryhnd side OF the river near Shepherds.
Al the boys, however, seem disposed TO
give different versions OF the sad affair. and
another account makes it appear that the
whole party were "skylarking," during
which Tatsapaugh and a comrade named
Proctor fell into the water, and the lat
ter was fortunate enough to seram-
bic into the boat, while the former
sank. Upon the return OF the remainder
OF the crowd to this city they Kept
the matter quiet through fear. and when
questioned as to the whereabouts OF their
late companion they pretended they had
left him at Fishtown. They finally, late in
the evening, impaired the sad intelligence
TO his relatives, and though search for the
body was forthwith instituted and contln-.
ued throughout yesterday, it was notfound
until this morning, when it was discovered
floating in the river near the powder
magazine. a short distance above the spot
where the drowning occurred, by some
fishermen.

Narrow Escape Of "a Party OF Pleasure
Seekers from Drowning.
fBlacksburg Time

Last Sunday James Boiling, Frank Rich
ardson, Miss Mary and Miss Dele Scott,
were passing near the suspension bridge
in the Graysontown mill-dam, near Snow
vile, in a small boat. BY some movement
the boat was capsized, and all four pre-
cipitated into water fifteen feet deep. Mr..
Boiling swan to the shore. MIR. Richard
son made an effort to save the ladies, and
became so entangled that all were about to
drown. Ed. Richardson, Tilo Bill, and
John Taylor, seeing the condition OF affairs,
manfully plunged into the river and swan
to the rescue. BY desperate courage and
llbor they succeeded in getting them to the
bank Miss Mary Scott was in an uncon-
scious condition, and was revived by the
hardest labor. Mr.. Frank Richardson was
little or no better of. Miss Dele Scott was
also much strangled, but not so nearly eX-
hauSted as the rest. II was very narrow
escape. and but for the heroism Of the gem
tlemen named all would doubtless have
been drowned.

WRITING OF LOVE AND CONSTANCY WHILE HIS
FRAUDULENT PROCEEDINGS WERE GOING
IPhiladeIphia Times.I

philadelphia Times.l
J. A. Dean. OF the United States army,
stationed i'm this city, obtained a certified
copy Monday. in the Office OF the protho-
notary OF the CommOn-Pleas Courts, of the
records in the late proceedings in the Nick
erson divorce case. Among the papers
were included copies Of all the dispositions.
Nickerson's letters to his wife, and the
Courts decree setting the divorce aside.
The papers will be used in the coming
court-martial.
The letters covered several pages. They
were all written after proceedings in di-
yorce had been entered. Nevertheless,
they nearly all begin with "My Dear
Wife, and close with reference to Nick
erson as husband. Many OF them are
signed "Selden," one OF Nickerson's
names. He dropped the name when he
entered the army, and uses 1t only when
writing TO near relatives or intimate
friends. The subject-matter Of the let
tiers is just such as devoted husband
might write to loving wife. Grave SEN
fences about the more serious concerns
of life are mixed up with airy gossip
OF the naval and military aristocracy OF the
capital. One letter contains a breezy ac'
count OF General Sherman's Inspection OF
military posts. an official iaunt in which
Nickerson was included, and which he
mistook for big gO-as-yOu-please picnic
The letters everywhere breathe the m0St
ardent affection. Running all the way
through them, too, are expressions OF love
for the Majors child, who was abroad will
her mother. Yet all this time Nickersor
was rushing through his fraudulent di
yorce.
Leonard II. Fletcher, Nickerson's coun
sci, said yesterday that ne had heard moth
lug Of his client since Judge Thayer haC
declined to consider a compromise. III
did not know where the Major had gone
he declared. but said that he did not beley
that he would ever see him again.
