Face to Face.

When I was a boy we had a big yaller
dog that hadn't as much sense as a sheep
or as much pluck as a chipmuck. That
dog wouldn't have fought a canary
bird; we knew it and he knew we knew
it, but he kept mp IN awful sight of
buster and blow, just the same as if we
didn't all know just what it was worth.
Every day a big black cur, as cowardlv
as ourn, used to 60 by with a butchers
cart, and them two dogs would run up
an down, on different sides of the fence.
barkin' fit to kill, an just as if they
would tear each other up if il wasn't for
the fence. One day the two got after
each other, an it happened some one
had left the gate open; go all of a sud
dent they came opposite to each other,
with nothing between. Well, sir, them
two dogs just stopped an looked at each
other for a minnit, then they put their
tails between their legs an emit sticks in
different directions, as if Old Nick was
after 'en. There's piles an piles O men
that's q heap more anxious for a fight
wen there's a fence between 'em than
wen they're on clear ground.

The Cincinnati Disaster.

A dispatch from Cincinnati save that
after the fall of the two undermined
buildings there the scene was a sad one.
It says: When the patrol wagon put out
its FIRST load at the engine house, fifteen
minutes after the accident, NEST painful
scenes ensued. Mrs. Kyle, so suddenly
be, eft Of her son, was the central figure.
Seated by the stove, bareheaded,
hrriedly clad, holding in her lap a little
hind satchel, the only property she had
Brought away, she was the embodiment
CT a mothers grief. around her were
several women, shedding tears of sym
oathy. They, too, were thinly and hastily
dressed, n having a quilt wrapped
about her. All had dlsheyeiled hair,
their faces blackcned by the dust Of the
falling building. Mrs. Kyle was obliv-
ious to all about her. She kept moaning
necessarily, while her features were dis
torted by the intensity of her bereave-
ment.
"Oh! if he could only have died a
natural DEATH she cried. "To think
OF my poor boy Willie crushed in that
way. Oh ! he must be alive. Can't they
help him? My God! can't anybody
help my poor Willie?"
Then, again, she would bewail him as
dead and renew her screams OF agony.
Her husband entered, and tenderly
! placing his arms about her leaned down
\ to offer her consolation, hut he had no
worass The two bereft ones, father and
mother, remained q moment silent, with
their faces touching, and then the strong
man walked away, and leaning against
the great wheel of the fire engine buried
his face in his hands and sobbed like q
child.
There, too, we're the Woehnker chill
dren-a girl Of twelve and a boy Of
twenty-begrimed like the rest and
weeping tor their father and mother.
The boy at one time seemed frantic with
grief and rushed away as if he would
throw himself into the water, but was
stopped by a fireman, who persuaded
him to become calm. Silent spectators
Of this painful scene were the blue
coated military patrol, bearing thei,
guns, and to complete the picture was q
reporter sending the news by telephone
to his newspaper. Above the moaning
OF Mrs. Kyle his words were heard
Eyes, Willie Kyle is lost" "Four q
Eyes. four of the Burke family"

EDITOR DDMOCRAT:
On Saturday, the 22d inst, we had a
very heavy rain, accompanied with
strong wind, lightning and thunder, the
the rain fell in torrents for two OF three
hours, the wind blowing almost gale,
upsetting things generally. Some show
men that had their canvass stretched In
this place, had their whole outfit leVeled
to the earth like plaything. The bell
tower of the Tiger Bend plantation was
prostrated to the ground; weak parts OF
fences laid low. About sundoWn thY
clouds cleared off and left clear sky. 4
Il Some of the colored gentry IN ting
vicinity. took too much whisky yesteEj
day and indulged in a shooting matcE

Local option might do good after all
Well sir, Dads Boy" has come to life
and we thought all good Sunday schoo!
Bows favored Local Option. When we
line a Sunday school, why we will be
awfnl good and make Local Option
Apeeches to tickle the fancy OF the old
folks and that "girl of ours" Good bye
Dads Boy" for to-day.
Imust tell you received a late copy
of the Dallas Herald the other day, in
which I read the following: I'm the
last week there has been nosless than
three hundred and twenty-five or thirty
BOYS born in Dallas, all since the elec-
tion, and they are all named Grover
Cleveland ] Ialways knew shat Dallas
was fast and growing Western town
but that paragraph staggered me. JACK
O'Tool, our funny man, thinks there
must be some mistake somewhere
Jack can't understand for the life OF
him how SO many boys could all come
to light at once, unless he says, "Dallas
has limestone foundation and is very
healthy"
The farmers are gathering the last
scraps of cotton. Some have eommenc-
ed to plow aud SOW oats, others building
and improving fences, and farm build
ings, and some loafers here and there
looking for work, but hoping never to
find it.
/ think there is three very important
articles our State needs, 4 say articles
call it what you like), first. more schoo
houses and better schools; second, ne
fences; third, great deal less whisky
drinking, and more steady workers
that is my way Of thinking, but this il
the United States, and. everyone cal
think and act to suit himself, but th'
life prosperity and progress Of the STATE
should be uppermost in the thoughts o
everyone and each and all should worl
together TO obtain thatpOint, and marcl
onward and forward in line with on
sister states.
Yours, JOHN O'SHANE.
