A Hop-In the Mud,

Quite pleasant hop was given al
the residence of Mr.. John Phillips
Tuesday night to Miss Minnie
Wade and her company. Mr.. T.
NJ. Spoford and Miss Alexander,
MIR. w. L. Alternately and Miss Lucy
Buford, Mr.. Ed. r. Sumpter and
Miss Book Mason, Mr.. VIII May
and Miss Beulah Sumpter, Mr.. Will
Rose and Miss Thompson, DR.. S.
S. Sumpter' and Miss Pointer, Mr..
Newt. White and Miss McCarty,
Mr.. Flournoy Rivers and Miss May
Gordon, and Messrs. Atha Baugh,
Tom. Gilbert, j. S. Gum and DR..
@. ALI. Alternately went out from
Pulaski. The hop was n most en-
joyable occasion-so say all those
who attended.
Several of the couples remained
all night and returned to town yes
terday morning in good spirits.
But others undertook to drive home
through the dark Immediately after
a heavy rain storm. 1t was still
raining and so dark the young men
could see nothing but the sparkling
OF the young ladies' eyes, when
Messrs. Baugh and Gilbert dis
covered of a sudden that instead of
being on the pike their horse and
buggy were in a ditch about six
feet deep. The water in the ditch
was just about as deep as a fellow
could wade without getting his vest
wet, and the buggy having landed
at the bottom top side up, Mr..
Baugh leaped out and was soon at
the horses head to lead him, he
knew not where, along the swift
current Heaven smiled on his
heroism while it was weeping for
his misfortune, and when a flash of
lightning came he discovered a
slight break in the bank and scram-
bling out succeeded in elevating the
horse and buggy and Tom to
level with himself. Tom was pray
ing ,:for lightning to dispel the ut
ter darkness and the crashing of
his teeth. But there was a still
more perilous catastrophe: DR..
Alternately and Mr.. Gum struck
the same ditch, but their buggy
landed at the bottom just in the OPP
posite position from that of the
other buggy and instead OF keeping
their seats as the other fellows did,
they jumped up and began to wipe
the thick muddy water out of their
eyes and disheveled mUstachios.
They had been immersed, but still
did not seem very religiously dis
posed, and one of them forgot the
presence Of lady in a buggy near
by. The doctor started in a rush
up to Mr. Pullen's to get a lantern,
but in his excitement he walked
headIong off the bridge into the
very water he had just disturbed.
When he got out the second time
he hoisted his umbrella and could
not be persuaded to go a step
farther after the lantern for fear he
would get wet. He hadnet observed
that his umbrella had collapsed and,
like funnel, stuck big end up into
the thick dark to catch the few
drops of rain that were falling and
pour them in upon his bare head.
He and Mr.. Gum lost their hats
and slippers, and the buggy cush
ion and rugs were floating with them
toward Richland.
These unfortunate gentlemen are
with rag dealers to sell
their pants, shirts and socks, &c,
but rag men say they are so stained
that they wouldn't make brown
paper.

ment his address:
''In closing the exercises the Wis

best schools for young ladies in the
country; that President Jones was
born for the work he is doing; that
his assistant teachers are of supe-
rior quality; that Pulaski is a
charming place, healthy, intelligent,
refined; that no school of its class
known to him has more of the char
acteristics of a christian home; and |
that Martin College deserves the
it has won.

and give our people to realize more
fully the Importance of establishing,

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Postmas-
ter-general Gresham's attention
was called to the fact to-day, that
at least one third of the newspapers
sent through the mails fail to reach
their destination. He was told
that the cause of the failure was
the negligence Of postmasters, who,
If the wrappers are torn or if the |
addresses are not as plainly |
written as they ought to be, throw
the papers in the waste rooms. He
was also told that postmasters do
not hesitate to appropriate the news
papers to their own use. The post
master-general said that he should !
OF once issue an order to all post |
masters in the United States direct |
ing them to treat newspapers as

that newspaper should be sent
for one cent, and he will recommend
to congress a reduction of newspa-
per postage to one cent.

Sand is a very good substitute
for gravel in making mortar but a
poor one for making macademized
streets. The fimsy coating spread
out over this side of the square is a
prodigious waste of the raw sand.

bottom whence it came. The cor
poration money ought not to be
wasted thus. Put on gravel if it
costs twice as much. 1t will be
twice as cheap in the end.

The pike interest in the county
does not boom as it should. Farm
ers seem not to realize that real
estate is greatly enhanced when it
gains access to a good pike. Good
roads more than blue grass have
made Kentucky lands sell at fabu-
lous prices. When a man wants to
buy a farm the first thing he in
quires into, after examining the
character of the soil, is the cost of
marketing produce. A farm on a
good road is like popular business
