This calculation, he says, does not take
into consideration The losses yet to come
from the suspension of business. He esti-
mates that there are at Jacksonville 5000
people without homes, at New Albany about
S000 at Madison 1000, at Aurora 500, at
Lawrenceburg nearly 1000, and in the inter-
vening country $500, or total for the whole
district of p, 600. In a smaller degree the
same condition of affairs exists at many
other points both above and below Evans

that for some time to come every dollar that
can possibly be raised will be needed, and
those who are able and disposed to render
assistance cannot act too promptly.

Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1883-04-28
Babies Needed.

One of the most youthful couples
that were ever married in KentOn
county, Kentucky, were joined in
wedlOck a short time since. The
groom is George f. Kyle, aged
fourteen years, and Lizzie May
Hollingshead, aged thirteen years.
They were married at the residence
of the groom's parents, near South
COvington, in the presence of few
of their most intimate friends. The
bride is an orphan, and in order to
obtain license to wed, the groom's
father qualified as her guardian.
and he then consented to the iSsu-
ing of the license and gave his as.
sent to the marriage. The combined
ages of the twain is only few years
more than the lawful matrimonial
age in the grand old Common
wealth. The bride is not vOlupt-
ious looking girl, and in fact, resen-
bleS child that has not passed the
spanking age, and the groom is not
much her superior in this respect.
The bride was modestly and neatly
attired, and resembled a littl girl
that was dressing for her first atten-
udHCC al CIIluISIl party. Inc
twain were evidently quite fond of
each other. There was none of that
style of love generally displayed at
a wedding, and when the minister
pronounced them man and wife,
they faced each other for a moment,
and SUDDENLY the childish groom
embraced his diminutive bride. 1t
was rather strange sight, and
looked more like children's mock
marriage than a solemn reality.
The couple are not wealthy, and
their parents are only in ordinary
financial circumstances.

PerIIs of Work.

There were three or four Michi-
ganders at the same hotel in Mont
gomery, and all were amazed at the
sight of so many cOlOred men loaf
ing their time on the street. The
man from Iona county finally
thought he'd make a few inquiries,
and reckoning to stalwart black
who had spent the last two hours on
the curbstOne, he asked: "Have
you any work to dO?'
"NOt list now, sab"
"Have you ever tried farming?"
"Oh, yes"
land how did you come out"
mighty slim, sab. De white
folks down heah don't encourage de
black folks at alp
SLOWS that"
"WeIl, in de fust place, dar's de
rent OBJ de land. Dey might jist as
well froW off de rent, but dey won't
do it. Den if 1 get the land and sot
out to bOrry a, mule, nobody 'ud
lend me One."
"Suppose you had a mule?"
"Den whar would bOrry a plow?
Can't raise crap onleSS ye pillow.
Den when got de plow an went
ober to Kurnel Whites ter bOrry a
harness de Kurnel wouldn't be to
home, or he'd be usin' all de straps
he had"
Couldn't you make it go if you
had land, seed, mule, pillow and har-
ness p asked the Wolverine.
Il reckon l might, but l dunno.
'SpOsin' de mule expired or de har-
ness broke, or some niger stole my
plOw?
That's So
AN the the old woman might
