A Genuine Romance.

Miss Fannie e. Porter, daughter OF
Mrs. Elizabeth Porter, Postmistress at
Russelville, Ky, was married at Ocala,
Fla, to Mr.. Glenn Dickey, of Colorado,
formerly of Glasgow, Ky. Miss Porter
is exceedingly popular in Kentucky,
where her many splendid qualities are
known and appreciated. Numerous
congratulations have been sent to the
young couple from their friends here.
There is quite aromance in Miss
Porter's life which, as it never has been
published, will be read with interest.
Over year ago, late in the evening,
she was walking with some lady friends
here when an old, gray-haired, ragged
tramp approached the party. Her
companions screamed and ran away,
but she walked leisurely along and re.
turned his salutation. The next day
and for several days afterwari, he took
a position in front Of the postoilicc and
spent hours watching her. Finally he
came to window where she was writing
and spoke to her. She responded pleas
antly, and, taking courage from her
courtesy, the old man asked her name.
please write it out for me- he added.
She did SO, and he placed the sheet of
paper away in his pocket "You are
good girl, and mighty pretty one,
too" the old man continued, land |
| like you. Don't you know that you re
the only person that has treated me
with kindness for years. They say
am old and crazy, but don't you believe
'em. have got lots Of money, and |
am going to leave it all to you"
Miss Porter's mother coming in at this
point, he repeated his remarks to her,
and shaking hands with both the ladies
left.
Time passed on, the old fellow had
disappeared and no one thought about
him. A few months ago the Sheriff Of
this county received Il letter from a
certain town in Kentucky, which relat-
ed that tramp was found dying in the
woods near there; that he had been ta-
ken in and cared for; that letter was
found in his pocket which explained
that money sufficient TO pay his doctor
bill and burial expenses would be
found hid away in his clothes. The
sheet Of paper containing Miss Porter
name was also found, and with it in
structions to send all the papers to her;
also that he had SO many thousand dol
lars in bank in Tennessee, naming
the town and bank, and that it was
his wish that Miss Porter should accept
it. The papers were sent to Miss Por'
ter and were turned over by her to two
prominent attorneys Of this city, who
are now engaged in looking into the
matter. Miss Porter short while age
received letter Offering her So, 600 fol
her interest in the old mans estate il
she would forfeit all claim to it. The
offer was not accepted, and SO the affair
rests for the present.
