The Dude of Long Ago.

John Bach McMaster, the histo
rian, thus describes the American
dude of 1900: "The pantaloons of "A
beau went up to his armpit ; to get
into them Was a mo,n ine's work,
and when in to sit down was impoS
sible. His hat was too small to con
tain his handk erchlef aud was not
expected to stay Oh his head. His
halr was brushed from the clown
of his head toward his forehead and
looked, as n s"tlri>t OF that day

ted linen neckerchief; the skirts of
his green coat were Gu. away TO IA

In order to show off suspenders
and straps gracefully the panta
looms we're made about two inches
too short. at each end.
The dandy first put on his shoes,
and then his pants, after which the
suspenders were frightened by
friends or a block and pulley.
His hair was cut close GU the
back of his head, in front of each
ear it was suffered to grow sutfi
GENTLY long to hang down on either
side and meet under the chin /; these
appendages the dandy designated
soap locks. The hair was kept
an inch long over the forehead and
combed upward 80 as to stand erect

THE STRANGE FORCE.
A Marietta Girl Hurts Men and Chairs About


These latter years have developed many
wonderful things and have been strangely
out Of joint. The elements have been at times
IN great commoton, producing cyclones and
playing havoc with terrestrial objects, while
mother earth" has been disturbed and shak-
en- with earthquakes by the hidden forces of
nature. Here and there persons have been
infused with wonderful power, partaking
of the supernatural, who by their simple
laying on Of hands" have hurled men and
things about with irresistible force. Such
force has been largely demonstrated in the
person Of Miss Lulu Hurst, the Polk county,
Ga, electromagnetic girl, or whatever YOU
are mind to call her This force has de-
fed all laws Of gravitation, logic and reason
and remains an unsolved mystery
Therefore when it was announced on our
streets that a Marietta young lady had devel
oped this strange force, we had an anxiety
to call and witness a display Of it. 1t was
our pleasure, in company with several of our
citizens, Of both sexes, to call on Miss Ma
ME Simpson at the residence of her mother.
on Cherokee street, on last Monday after
noon. A cordial reception greeted us, and
we found ourselves ushered into the pres
ence of the "new wonder" Miss Mamie
Simpson is the daughter of the late lament
ed Judge A. n. Simpson and is about six
teen years old, weighing los pounds has
dark hair and sparkling black eyes, with
cheeks as rosy as the blush of aurora. She
is very timid and modest young lady, and
was somewhat agitated in the demonstra-
tons of her anaccountable power.
The frst test was gentleman trying to
hold chair, embraced tightly, and as 1t was
about to go through window, he had to de-
slst. A young man weighing $50 pounds
was thrown out of chair on to the floor.
Two gentlemen then were hurled out of the
chair. She stood on tiptoe on one foot and
two gentlemen could not push her off her
balance, neither could they press to the floor
stick, held perpendicular. An umbrella
was torn to pieces by her touch while one of
the young men present held it. Other like
tests were gone through with and none could
Guido the timid girl
As to the comparative power displayed by
Miss Simpson with that of Miss Hurst, there
is more composure and discipline by the
latter than the former, although the result is
the same
This was only the fourth time she has al
lowed spectators to witness her tests. She
says she does not feel any opposing force
from those who attempt to resist her. The
force she possesses operates as well on met
ais as wood. She dislikes to handle iron
because she deems it dangerous. We do
not attempt to explain the force displayed
we leave that for others to do, who are
versed in solving mysteries The young La
dy is aversed to going ON the stage, and we
hear Of no efforts being made to induce her
to do 50.

MABLETON.

Mr.. Dan Moss, living near Mabelton, on
awaking last Thursday morning, found his
barn a smouldering mass Of ruins. Besides
his corn, oats fodder, cotton seed, farming
implements, etc, consumed two COWS and
two sheep, also succumbed to the flames
fortunately his mules were stabbed in sep
arate building and escaped unhurt. The
origin of the fire is unknown, Though CON
sldering the hour of the night at which it
burned, it is thought that it must have been
the work of an incendiary.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Thompson who
have been spending several weeks with rel
atives at this place, left last Friday morn
ing for their home at Delhi, n. Y.
Mr.. II. B. Moss left last Sunday for
