THE GAMBLERS WIFE.

Love supreme Gentleness Gen
tleness A woman can win with gem
tleness when everything else fails. /
recollect a fellow was gambling one
night and when l o'clock came he
jumped up from the table and said:
"Boys, I'm going home. I've one of
the best wives in the world waiting
for me. Why she's so kind and gem
tie if you all were to come up home
with me now and | was to ask her to
get you all supper, she would do it. ;"
Gone of the old gamblers laughed
and said: ''I've been hearing of that
sort all my life, but | have never
seen one" Well they all went up to
see, and they rang the door bell, and
then he introduced her to his gam
bling friends and SAID: "Wife, we
are all hungry and want supper"
She invited them with smiles into
the parlor and said she would get
supper as quick as she could, and
when it was ready they all sat down
and were waited on like princes, and
when the meal was over one old gam
bier turned to her and said: "Yodi
husband told us, but we would not
believe you were such a good woman.
Tell me, how can you be such a wife
to such a husband 2"
Her lips trembled, and the tears
ran down her cheeks, as she said:
My husband is a poor gambler and |
have prayed for twenty years that
God would save him, but God will
not answer my prayer, and the poor
fellow will soon be dead; but | will
make this life as pleasant as possible
to him. The old gambler turned to
the husband and said: How can you
be such husband to such a wife ?
And he jumped up and said Gen
tlemen, am going to surrender to
my wife tonight. give myself to
God and my wife for better life
from this hour And it is said af-
terward that man preached the SER
mon that won all these other gam
blers to Christ. If your husband will
go to hell, make it as pleasant in this
world as you can.-lSam Jones.

HE STRUCK A GOOD THING AND HELD

Eyes, said a conductor on the IL
linois Central. II am married at last,
boys, and am mighty glad of it. But
the strangest part of the story is how
| came to meet my wife. 1t was about
a year ago. One day we stopped at
one of the stations down the line
where the track is doubled, when
there was u freight train approaching
on the west of the station. 1t slowed
up so that the passengers would have
time to cross, and then put on steam
and came along after | had given the
signal to my engineer to start. But
| stood on the ground looking out for
passengers who might jump off and
get hurt, as | always do under SINH
lar circumstances. On this occasion
it was well that | did, because u
young woman came running out of
one the coaches Of my train and ex-
citedly made a jump to get of. She
landed right in my arms, and if |
hadn't been there she'd have fallen
before the freight engine and been
crushed to death. Well, boys, l just
held on to her until those two trains
bod poSead Cbo yvoo en- ovc;toJ I
didn't care to put her down, and l
felt quite comfortable the way | was
anyhow, with her heart beating
against mine. Well, in that minute
and a half | lost my heart, and we
were married a week before christ
mas. She says she always did like
a man who had sense enough to hold
fast to a good thing when he had a
chance"

POUTING WOMEN.

Now, where there's love there's no
enimity or malice or i'll will. A wo-
man whose heart is full of love, is
happy, but a woman that runs love
out of her heart is miserable woman.
You've been mad whole day.
Wasn't that a great day for you? /
have known women who pouted all
day. | can stand quarreling wo-
man, but these pOuters get away with
me. They pout at the table, and
and they pout in the parlor, and they
pout on the street. Now, my little
Bob used to pout, but he got behind
a door or under a bed to do his pout-
ing | liked that. fl was going to
pout, would get under bed and
have my meals sent to me. [ would
never have anybody to see me pout-
ing. Unhappy the home where there
is a pouting woman.-[SAM JONES.

Late Monday night week George
Nenable and his brother-in-law, w.
G. Dulin, went to the residence of
Mat Harris, Of Fayette county, about
eight miles from Jonesboro, and en-
deavored to attract the attention of
Mrs. Harris. Her husband hearing
them demanded to know who was
there and, and receiving no answer,
fired upon them, mortally wounding
George Nenable from which he died.
Dulin removed him to a neighbours
house and went back to avenge the
shooting Of Venable, whereupon Har-
ris shot him also, inhicting fatal
wounds. L. NJ. Venable was shot
through the nose at the time Dunlin
was shot. The Venable boys are the
sons Of DIR. John Venable.

RECEIPTS FOR YOUNG MEN.

Cultivate the respect of others, and
command your self respect.
A good name is your best trade
mark. 1t can be equaled but not
counterfeited.
Young man, honesty nowadays is
rare, and those who believe in and
practice it are rarer.
Look closely after the construction
of an estimable reputation, and leave
the esteeming of it for others.
If you will tolerate a liar to-day
you will befriend him next week, if
not sooner, and pose as one yourself
soon after
You can prove your pedigree by
your parents, but your qualities will
be recognized without amy such evil
dence.
When finally you decide that you
don't know much, the sooner you
stop talking, sit down and look wise,
the better.

Brains require cultivation as well
as corn, and the farmer should take
enough time from the cultivation of
his crops to at least to read the papers
and keep posted on the markets and
current events. A farmer has as
much reason to read and study as
any other business man, and dill
gent study of what others learned by
experience or research, added to his
own practical knowledge, will be of
material benefit and will give him
a more exalted opinion of agricul-
ture.

TEXAS BOUNDARY LINE.

Gen. Breckenridge, a member Of
the Texas Boundary Commission,
claims to have discovered that tAe
real boundary line between that
State and Indian Territory is Wichi-
ia river. If this proves correct it
will not only include Greer county,
in Texas, but take in about one-fifth
of the entire Indian Territory. The
Wichita is a river emptying into the
Red on its Northern side. Between
it and Red river (now the boundary
of Texas as organized are the lands
in the Indian Territory apportioned
to the Kiowas, Comanches and
Apaches, and large portion of the
Chickasaw lands. Greer county lies
between the main Red river and a
branch south of it, the Texans claim
ing that the main river is the true
boundary, and the United States
Government claiming that the south
ern branch is the boundary. 1t was
to settle thi difference that the com
mission was appointed, of which Gen.
Breckenridge is a member.

HERE'S YOUR MULE.

We were before Kennesaw and fac

ed to be on picket on our extreme
right, resting on MONDAY creek, when
a battalion of cavery-Gen. John T.,
now Senator organ's come by 90
Ing forward to feel the enemy The
command was irregularly mounted,
some on colts some on hacks, some on
splendid chargers, and one, tall
gosling-legged fellow named Rush
ing, on a mule. They came sweep
ing by in trot and forming in line
Immediately in our front made
charge. Forward they dashed in
gallant style, but they had not far
to go before they encounted strong
line of infantry ready for them. AS
the object was to fire rather than to
strike the retreat was sounded, and
as rapidly as they advanced they
came laundering back, followed by a
few shots all but Rush and his mule.
Much to the astonishment of all they
kept right ahead, the mule with tail
and ears backed, dashed straight for
'the enemy. From my point on the
hill, | could see it all, and it was the
most ludicrous sight ever beheld,
that long-legged fellow Juggling at the
relns, trying to stop or turn his OBJ
stinate mule. But there was no turn
in him. He had got his head set and
nothing short of bullet would stop
him. "Woa woa ?" cried Rushing,
"blaim your fool soul, won't you
woa :" but had just as well be whis-
Ting down the wind, and seeing moth
ing but capture or death ahead the
desperate man united his legs from
beneath the animals body, and with
a summersault tumbled to the ground.
Luckily for him, the federals were
too well tickled at the scene to care
to hurt him, and it would have done
you good to see that fellow humping
it back, while the good humored
yanks called out
stop, stop, came back, here is your
mule p

just ask Rushing, where's your

Water expands in the act of freez-
ing with force so irresistible as to
burst rocks into fragments and even
to renF asunder the strongest cast
iron vessels. The freezing and thaw-
ing of ice has thus wonderful effect
upon forming soil from the broken
down rocks and the continual crum-
bling Of the stones Of the field, while
the clods of earth are broken up and
mellowed and the soil of the fall
ploughed field is made much finer
than by any implement. Water ex-
pands one-ninth in freezing, but this
expansion is not gradual, but rather
sudden, and hence more effective in
disrupting the rocks and the soil.

A HARD WORKING MAN,

Every year every local paper gives
from 500 $4,000 in free lines for the
benefit of the vicinity in which he is
located. Ne otheragency can or will
do this. The local editor, in proper
ton to his means, does more for his
town than any ten men and in all
fairness, man with man, he ought to
be supported, not because you happen
to like him or admire his writing,
but because local paper is the best
investment community can make.
1t may not be brilliant nor crowded
with thoughts, but financially it is
more of a to community than the
preacher or teacher. Understand us
now, we do not mean morally or in
tellectually, but financially, and yet
on the moral question you will find
the majority of the local papers are
on the right side of the question.
To-day the editors Of local papers do
the most work for the least money of
any men or afth.-Augusta Netc8.

CONCERNING CLIPPED DOLLARS.

Editor. Dana, of the New York
Sun, is firing some silver balls into
the gold ghost. He says that by the
Mint act of 1892 the amount of pure
gold in a gold dollar was fixed at a.
Is grains. By the same act the
amount of pure silver in a silver dol
lar was fixed at 375.25 grains.
The amount of silver in a silver
dollar has never been changed. That
of gold in gold dollar was reduc-
ed in 1884 to 1922 grains, or about 6
per cent. The gold dollar of to-day
is therefore "clipped dollar" and
is worth only 81 cents according to
the old standard. Again, up to 1873,
the gold dollar thus clipped and
worth in silver only from "a to SO
cents, was paid out to holders of Uni
ted States bonds at par, because it
was cheaper than the silver dollar.
The contract called for ccin, and the
Government wisely selected the
cheaper coin. Now that the silver
dollar has in turn become cheaper
than the gold dollar, we are told that
unless we pay the bondholders in the
dearer coin, we are robbing them. If
this be so, we must be in debt to the
amount of about FIVE dollars on every
hundred of the clipped gold dollars
paid to bondholders at par previous
to 1873. Let justice be done which
ever way it may work. Mr.. Morrill,
should bring in bill for the relief of
the creditors prior to 1873, whom he
thus helped to swindle.
