She Could Keep the Secret.
SsmerNille Mass. Journal.


 :" We're bound to be equal to you men, said the Mason's wife I've formed secret society of our own last night"
 :" indeed said the worshipful master, composedly; then hope, my dear. your project will be successful. Is i, a benevolent society. or what ?'' That's none of your business. Its a secret society. and we've sworn by a sol. e'nn oath not to divulge anything rela,- ing 10 it,
 "Nery good. my dear" observed the worshipful master, returning to his paper I'm sure do not wish you 10 violate your oath.

But we managed to make her ur- ders,and a, las, Oh, yes. we are going 10 have flourishing society, and we can be as secret about i, Is you men are about yours.

 Daniel Webster, it is known. was poor. He had ihe power to make money but not to keep it, for his house was as open as the day to melting charity. His only son, man of fine intellect and charac- ter, but like his parents of little wealth. asked of the Taylor administration an office, which no one doubted he was com potent ts fill. The result is told in the words of MT. Webster to one of his inti- mate friends. The conversation oc- cured while Taylor was still president

 He then straightened himself up, and, with conscious dignity, added:

A Mean Trick.
ashville Banner

Somebody. xag, probably. played a mean trick on some of Nashville's vel, known citizens. 4 wag was seized with the hendish idea the other day, tha, there was not enough bible reading going or in Nashville, and to stimulate more ac- ivity in that direction, he borrowed a number of postal cards from his friends, and perhaps purchased some, which he proceeded to address ,o such persons as he saw proper to send them. Here is a specimen card: Dear Sir: You may tnd Il profitable to read I4:ix, Second kings Perhaps 500 of these cards were sent through the mails to as many per sons. This morning Baaaer reporter observed a number of prominent citizens rushing around trying to borrow bible.
 Whats up:" asked the reporter as d bank cashier flew pas, him. Bank beer robbed?'
 " No; say. can you tell me where can borrow b ble.'
 Going 10 hold prayer meeting
 No. Say. look here drawing the re- porter aside see this :''
 The reporter looked and saw postai card on which was written; Read I;x lob . The reporter informed the cash.es that he could probably ind bible a; some of the churches, and passed on. \ block further up the news man was run over and tramped upon by an ex-iudee.
 Here, look at this" said the judge. exhibiting postal. l, read: ..Read and study Seventh Commandment. !" ," Do you remember just wha, the Seventh Commandment says" asked the judge
 No: do you :'
 No. and the judge rushed on.
 On his rounds the reporter met fully 100 men who probably haven't read the scriptures since they went to Sunday school, and all of them looking for b. bles, and each held postal card in his hand. It was a mean trick.

Bill Arp on Women.
:. B,ll Arp"in A,lan,, cons,;,,,,,

Bill Arp Tn Atlanta Consiitution.'
 There is no record anywhere in any history of happy married state where a man had more than one wife. Lamech had two, but the scriptures say nothing more about him. Adam didn't have but one and Noah one, and they started the business of peopling the world. Old Father Abraham had one and when he took another on the sly. old Aunt Sarah got after him and she frailed out the sec ond one with thrash pole and run her of. Jacob had two. and if ever man deserved two he did; but they didn', ge, along well. even though they were sisters Moses didn't have but one. King DaYid had several, but he was cuis, with 'en. and actually committed murder to ge, one of 'em. and lived in anguish ever after, fer he said. My sin is ever before me. Old Solomon mast have had an awful time of il. for he had thousand. and they kept him so harassed and be- deviled that he flew to his inkstand and wrote that he had found one good man. but good woman in a thousand he had not found. Of course not How could a woman be good when she was only ,housandth par, of wife? But Solomon repensed of his folly and said il was all vanity, and advised ali men 10 live jov- inlly with the wife whom thou lowest" and 10 beware of strange women." never think of these surplus wives who are sealed to the Mormons without a feeling of sadness and pity, for every new one causes the others pang of shame They are all in prison and their depend enoe IS like that of the caged bird ,ha, ,smely looks to its keeper for food. There Is 10 escape.for woman Is a proud creature and ull suffer in silence rather than pa- rade her folly to the world. Did you ever notice how woman will suffer and be strong, especially # she has a child or children to keep her company?

Mr. A J. Mcbride, of the well known
firm of Mcbride & Co, wholesale crockery

been afflicted sixteen years with a terrible
form of Scrofulous Catarrh.
Experienced physicians exhausted their
skill in attempting a cure, resulting i'll conf
plete failures. Numerous advertised reme-
dies were Iesorted to with the same result,
and as much as 20 gallons of one prepara-
ton was used without relief. As the blood
increased in impurities his whole cOnstitu-
ton gave way; his appetite failed, secre-
tions perverted. with nervous prostration
and tagging energies. While in this con-
dition lie despaired of recovery, and seri-
ously began arranging and planning his
business preparatory for death. During
this heartrending condition of mind and
body, with the disease gradually sapping
his life, he reluctantly commenced the use

hope and courage. a few more bottles were
used, and gladness rcigned over hIs house

We must compliment our merchants on
the excellent taste exhibited in the Hslec-

Quilting machines and the chicken craze
are numbered among the things that were,

is offered with every quart. Anyone wish

We would advise the dry goods clerks on

it rather unpleasant falling through side

The Old Story Told in Two Chapters.

This Morning the o'clock northhound
passenger train brought TO Bolivar a couple
Of refugees from the great State of Missis-
Bippi, They were Mr.. w. w. Ragsdale
and Miss Sallie Woods, of near Holly
Springs. They had the old and oft repeat
ed story TO tell Of unrslenting parental au-
thority and the matrimonial bee in their
own bonnets ESqire c. II. Anderson Was
reused out, albeit Ieetle early, and the
party adjourned to CLERK Farley office,
where after that gentleman had issued the
proper document, the Young man and his
holy bonds of matrimouy-and the stern
parent whose unreasonable kicking" fore
cd them 10 seek Tennssaea's hospitable
borders for the happy event, was efiectual-
~ barred out-for the law doth say, What
God hath joined together, let not man put
assundcr." The bridegroom has the sp-
pearancs Of gentleman, and the bride is
an attractive little lady Of perhaps sixteen
summers, Eszxtty and winsome in appear
ance. May they never have cause to re-
greet their first visit to Bolivar.
We take this opportunity of congratulate
ing our friend Mr.. Richard J.. BaIch, who
was married in jackson last Tuesday night
to Miss May Wilbon, the beautiful and ac-
complishcd daughter of Col. Wilbon, OF
Madison county, and sister Of Mr.. John X.
Wilbon. The Sf1air was quite sudden to the
families and many of the friends of the con-
tracing parties, it being what is termed =
runaway match" The ceremony was per-
formed at the parsonage of the Methodist
church, and was witnessed by only few
intimate friends of the bride and groom.
'Tis as good luck as any, Dick. The theft is
one that any man is oxcusable for commit
ting The Bulletin wishes the groom and
hiS bonnie bride health, wealth and happi.
