Uncle George.


Uncle George Brown, "re-Tail deal
er in COAL" as he expresses il, on Plum
street, between 9th and longworth, is n
familiar figure to all who have had
business in that locality for the last
twenty years. He is always happy and
ready to talk to any one in regard TO
business, politics or religion. Misplace
OF business is in cellar under drug
store, and here he manufactures kind
ling. which he sells now for ) cents a
bunch. Used to get 10 cents a bundle

he keeps in coifee-sacks, q bushel in
each sack, and when he has purchaser
he shoulders a sack ami delivers it at

Our feet were weary with roaming;
We had wandered hours and hours
In the pleasant autumn woodlands,
In search of the years last flowers.
There were people Mlchaelmas daisies,
And golden rod so bright, ...
And the delicate blue-frnged gentian
So fair In the poets sight;
And one Lone cardnal-hower,

With brilliant blood-rcd color
Setting the marshes ashine;
There was silyery everlasting,
Best loved of all to me,
For The scent OF its tiny blossoms
Is the breath OF a memory. ,f'e.-.
All these we had found In the owlands
Or on the hill-tOps gray.

And leaning each to each.

And Il httersweet dazzling a dogwood

THE PERsISibioN.
Persimmons are now ripe. They are
not known as fruit in the North The
nearest approach the Northern man gets
to persimmon Is when he reads ro-
litical editorial on the follies and wick
edness of the political situation which
probably starts out with the remark
that ''it is the largest pole that gets the
pcrsimmons.
Now one can get all the persimmons
he wants without any pole whatever
especially if they are unripe. A loaded
persimmon tree is not as dangerous as a
loaded mule, but it is a right smart
handsome sight TO behold with the naked
eye. The fruit looks something like a
crab-apple, and when ripe tastes like a
date. An unripe persimmon is not sour:
neither is it bitter. 1t is puckery. One
bite will last life time. They make
beer of them here, and it is good.
'Simmon pudding is also adeIicacy
peculiar in the South. In the main,
however, the crop falls to the grolnl
and furnishes food for the many swine
that wander through the woods.
