The Preston correspondent of
the Americas Recorder tells as
follows of the visit Of Ed Nc
Donald and Sam Statham to
young ladies Of that town:
Our town was last week honored by
rare visit from two baby dudes from a
neighboring city in Terrell county. They
lett their town last Tuesday, we learn, and
after passing PARROTS they lost their way,
but driving all night they were fortunate
enough to reach this place about ten o'clock
the following morning. When they ar
Tlved they drove upon the square and I'M
htched their little mule, which was al
most exhausted, and walked over to the
stores. Two familiar goats that infested
the streets of Preston, seeing the buggy in
such conspicuous place, walked up and
began viewing the situation of affairs.
Finding an open valise they began to pc
rIse Its contents for such articles as they
could use. One found cravat, and wish
ing to initiate the dudish appearance of its
owner, he drew it out to wear. But think
ing it was made for internal use Gas its ap
appearance w0Gld not admit of outside
weary he began to chew it, meanwhile the
other goat was looking through something
to drink. Our young friends, not having
anything to spare, came to the yescue of
their wardrobe, but having become hors
de combat frons loss of sleep, they were
easily overcome by the goats, who struttcd

returned to the stable and each mounted
buggy for nap. where they slept unds-
turbed for two hours. They then arose to
enter on their mission of calling upon
some OF the fair sex in this place, Their
shirts being somewhat soied, they decided
to change, and on going TO their wsslise we
noticed them stop several inmates for a
conversation, which we learned later was
a consultation as to whether they should
wear the shirts they had on, which bore
the dew of the night and the dirt of the
Stable, OF whether they should pro on those
hlghly perfumcd with the oClor OF the
goats. A hard question TO decide, but fin
ally they concluded to buy ten cent bot

After doing this they marched behind a
lumber pile under the observation of some
OF the most highly respected ladies of the
place, and changed their clothing. They
sat aboAt the lemonade and soda wa

Through courtesy tie ladies gave
them cordial reception, which they mis-
took for tiatteTy and after they spegt about
an hour with the ladies they man engage

saTdine supper at the stable, and making
their evening call, they deemed it best to
start for home. learning there were no
