cause we didn't get together that way very often. After that the woman went away feeling as happy and thankful as a kitten. She hadn't thel east idea, and never will have, unless i tell her, how much she put Miss Knapp out. l ain't always just clear how much of such de- ceitful ways it's my duty to uncover; but for my part, don't believe in smil ing in folks faces an ceiling 'em to walk in, as though you was dreadful glad to see 'em, when iHwardly you wish they hadn't come. Now Pm right out and out, and our folks know it.
 Ebenezer married this morning and gone to Chicago! Well, if Miss Knapp ain't the most deceitful woman ever knew! The main thing l went over there for yesterday was to find out about that very thing. I'd mistrusted something for long time, and l thought I'd ask to see her new album quilt so that she wouldn't think l wanted to find out anything. You wouldn't have thought from what she said about Eoen- ezer that he ever calculated to get mar ried. Well, I don't know what the worlds coming to!
 What are you looking at? Oh, there's Ann at the gate talking with that man, and it's the man that bought the Milks place, too; what does she think of her. self? And her old white dress on, too. | Now this dark calico of minell bear ever so much more wear and tear than them himsy white thinga, and it don't show the dirt, either Anything dark colored looks better for woman of Ann's years. Light-colored clothes'll do for girls of sixteen, but 1 always used to see women cut up their white dresses for their babies after they'd been mar ried awhile. That is modest, and shows that woman cares more for her home duties than she does about fixing her self up; and if a girl don't get married it looks worse yet to be Haunting out in white, as if she thought she was young and pretty.
 Do see Ann now! She does think she looks so nice, with that great blue satin belt. It's as old as the hills. She found it in an old bnndle her mother left. It was a yellow white, and she colored it with blueing and now good many folks think it's new. She's deceived that man, l know she has; he don't probably think she's more than twenty-five; and Pm going to let him know just how old she is. It ain't my duty to stand by and see a man so taken in. And he's so rich, too, they say Wouldn't Ann feel big if she could manage to get him? But I won't have him deceived; Pll lay some trap to show up Ann's contriv- ances about her age and her gray haii at the next social. Nobody'll know what Pm about, but I'll do it.
 Do you say they're engaged to be marred-were acquainted when they were children? Well, all Pve got tc say is that they're both deceitful, and they'll get their pay some time.

A tailor up town has a novel way of advertising. Scattered all over he has the line, "Kimball is the man you want to see." It may work up there but it wouldn't down town. The average young mans tailor is about the last man on earth he wants to see.

 was over there myself only yester- day, and saw enough to convince me that something ought to be done. She was just telling me that Ebenezer was going out West to visit an uncle of his, and she'd got to hurry like everything we see coming but the woman who lives in that little cabin behind the hill. You can just see the roof from here. She was carrying her baby and great bun dle of cloth. It seems that Miss Knapp had told her that she'd sew for her some day on her machine. But now, when she saw her coming, she burst out,-
 "Dear mel What under the sun shall I do? haven't minute to sparer'
 You see she was taken by surprise, and spoke right out.
 "Tell, her." says l, "that you're busy and cant stop to-day"
 "No, 1 cant do that, says she. "The poor creature has walked clear over here, and carried her baby; and her children are in perishing need of clothes, I know; Ebenezer'll have to get along with one shirt the less."
 Then she went to the door and opened it as smiling as could be, and took the baby, and gave the woman the best rocking-chair, for she was all out of breath; then she stitched away for as much as an hour and half; then she got tea, and would have us all set down and have pleasant chat, she said, be-

The Hop,

The st. Giles was the scene Of
great brilliancy and enjoyment last
Friday night, the occasion being a
hop given by the young men of Pu-
laski in honor of the graduating
class and the many young lady
visitors in town at the time. 1t
was attended with the most decided
success of anything of the kind in
Pulaski for many months. Besides
the numerous visiting young ladies
and gentlemen present, the society
people of Pulaski turned out en-
nsasse, and the large hall and parlors
we're crowded. The merry dancers
continued their gayeties into the
wee sma' hours, and all will remem-
Der the hop as a most enjoyable oc-
casion. Our young men are con-
graduated upon the success of the
affair.

The Reception.

Perhaps the most enjoyable oc-
casion of the season for our young
men was the graduates reception
at Martin College Thursday night
of last week. They had been adj
miring the young ladies for whole
long term as they marched the
streets with teachers as comman-
ders, and each beau had claimed his
sweetheart and been loving her at
a distance all the while so hard
that nothing but the brick walls of
the college and the stern discip-
line of Prof. Jones protected her
from proposals. And when the
door Of the cage was thrown open
and they invited in, the reader can
imagine with what alacrity they
accepted. Each of the twenty-one
young ladies of the class had invi-
ted three or four young men and all
the boys in town were there, and all
the boarders, as well as the class,
we're permitted to come down into
the parlors to entertain them. The
gay young people promenaded on
the balconies and filled the large
halls with their merriment until
they were invited into the chapel to
partake of ice cream, &C., &c. Not
until Prof Jones had told them
goodnight and dismissed them
with his blessings and rung the
bell repeatedly did he get rid of his
delighted guests. The boys say
the professor is awful hard on them
during school but that he makes
up for it on these occasions. They
long for school to close again.

Struck BY lightning.

A very sad and sudden death oc-
Cured on Mr.. Robt. Rodes' planta-
tion, near Wales station, on Satur-
day of last week. Mr.. Lewis Lee
may was struck by lightning about
two o'clock in the afternoon and
instantly killed. He was standing
at the time in an open field giving
directions to his son who was plow-
ing cotton. When the flash of
lightning came he dropped dead,
though his body, as we are informed,
was not mangled and no bones bro
ken. There was no tall object
near. His son who was close by
received a slight shock but was not
hurt.
We are told that Mrs. LeMay,
widow of the deceased, says her
husband had a presentment before
his awful death that something ter
rible was going to happen.
Mr.. LeMay was buried the follow
ing day. He was middle-aged man
and leaves eight children, the two
Oldest of whom are bows.

Hoods Old Flag.

Prof. G.. A. Swan was in Pulaski
Tuesday for the purpose of ship
ping to their owner some interest
war relics. At Dalton, when the
Confederacy fell, Prof. Swan was
messmate of Capt. @. Vidor, quar-
termaster of Hoods original LIST
Texas regiment. They secured the
flag of that regiment and Prof.
Swan brought it, with many other
souveniers, to Tennessee. Only a
few week ago he met Bishop Quin-
tard on the railroad and happened
to mention the flag, when the bish-
OPP persuaded him to send it to Gov.
Ireland OF Texas. He did so and
the response of Gov. Ireland re-
vealed the whereabouts of Capt.
Vidor, and Tuesday Prof. Swan
shipped him at Galveston, Texas,
the metal, spear shaped point from
the old flagstaff and also a prayer
book presented Capt. Vidor by
Bishop Quihtard in Georgia when
Bishop Pope, assisted by Rev. G.
I. Quintard, mot then bishop
confirmed a class of which Gen.
Pat. Cleburne was q member. Thus
after 20 years these war relics, so
full of thought and reminiscence,
are sent back among the children of
the men who followed them to their
death. Prof. Swan had dispaired
of ever finding Capt. Vidor and had
given the silk flag to Mrs. Swan to
be made into a quilt, but he found
him before it was cut, fortunately.

Poplar Hill.

Farmers are progressing finely
with their crops. Some have COM
menced to lay by their corn. Cot
ton has been chopped twice and is
looking very well. Wheat is several
weeks later this year than usual.
Fruit in this peighborhood is al
most failure.
There are three men in this
district who are candidates for cot
ton weigher and we expect before
the election there will be several
more. We can safely say to the
magistrates of the county that if
either of these gentlemen are elected
they will fill the Office satisfactorily.
They are clever, nice gentlemen.
