ONE YEAR AGO.

Last year, under the chestnut trees,
Under the chestnuts white,
Two Of US walked, two of us talked
Would II were 50 tonight.
Two were the voices, trcmulous, sweet;
Two were the heads, bent low;
Two were the hands together clasped,
One white as the flower snow.
One year! But year when all is told,
Twelve menths and day No more;
Yet my footsteps flag and my youth seems
old,
And my scared life feels fourscore.
Two were the hearts that together beat,
Two were the hearts, vet one;
Two were the figures that, interlaced,
Strolled, meath those trees, la the sun.
Those ees, those Aeaf laden, bloom-strew>
ing trees,
That glorious sun of June!
Now they strike the golden chords Of my
soul,
Sound sweet on its loves own tune.
Alb, leaves, ye fall, and grow green again,
Nor mourn for the spring time fed
All, trees, We bloom in another June,
But the life of my lie is deadl
Every Other Saturday.

THE intimacy of Adam Paulk,
COL, with family of white women
of ill-repnte in Irwin county be-
came so scandalous that party
of men went to whip him. he
suspected their intention and as
they approached ran away in the
direction of a piece of woods. One
of the young men fred upon him
with a double-barreled gun, lodg-
ing seven buckshot in one of his
legs between the knee and foot
They then mounted their horses
and rode away. Adam was con-
veyed to his home and began to
use home remedies on his wound
ed leg. The buckshot all lodged
in his leg. The wounds grew
worse from day to day, until it
became apparent that without
medical aid he would die. Mon
day physicians reached his house.
Immediate amputation was deciar-
ed the only chance of saving
Pualk's life, but the doctors had
no surgical instruments with
them, and they did not dare post
pone the operation long enough to
permit of the long drive necessa-
ry to procure them. Borrowing
several pocket knives, they had
them sharpened, put the wounded
man under the influence Of chic
roform and began taking off the
leg.

THE Wayeross Reporter says
IN certain town not far ffom
Waycross a snake was meander-
Ing over the town recently, and
happened to pass the backdoor of
a har-rocna. An empty keg, with
bunghole open, both heads in, was
lying near the steps, and his
snakeship, having robbed hens
nest, decided to crawl into the
bunghole Of the keg aid "take a
drink" This, we suppose, was
accomplished, bat the end that
did the drinking got so drunk that
the power of the body could not
extrieate itself It could not
crawl into the barrel because the
eggs which had been swallowed
were larger than the bung and
would not shrink. Then it was
shown that eggs and whiskey are
mot only good for noggs, but in
this case caused the capture and
death of large chicken snake.
