Brigham Young's Cuteness.


Brigham Young often had to exert the whole
of his wonderfully quick wit in order to preserve
the faith that his followers had In him. but he was
generally equal to the occasion. A certain elder
while chopping wood, had cut his leg so badly that
it had to be amputated AS soon as he was able he
came to Young and stated his case to him somewhat
as follows: 81 have always been IA good Nor
mon, have several wives and a good many chill
dren, and in my present MANNED condition / do not
know how am to provide for them 1 believe
truly that you Christs representative on EARTH
and that you have all the power that he had. II
you like, you can work miracles; if you like, you
can give me new leg, and now 1 ask you to do it,
Young assented to all the catering propositions as
they were laid down, and when the elder had
finished speaking he said 81 can give you a new
les, and will, but want you to think about it at
little at first When the day of judgment comes,
wherever you are buried your old leg will find you
out and join itself to you, but if give you new
one that will rise with you, too, and the question is
whether you would rather suffer the inconvenience
of getting along with enc for few years here or &C
through all eternity with three legs" The choice
was quickly made, and Brigham Young's reputa.

ried them from Rome some months ago
Three weeks ago Smith came to Atlanta and
returned to Dallas, accompanied by person,
apparently young man, who he said was to
assist him. The two put up at the hotel, and
the next morning Smith left with an arrange
mont that the young man should reman until
his return. The individuals queer actions,
eifeminate looks and efforts at extreme seclu-
sion aroused suspicious about the hotel, which
led to the issuance of a warrant on some pre-
text thought to meet the case, but before it
could be served the subject was gone, A few
days after the pair took the cars at Braswell,
Smiths companion dressed as woman. They
got off at another station up the road and
took his vehicle They travelled there as man
and wife, Smith giving his name as "Smythe"
wherever they stopped to sojourn. The pair
were arrested at Taylorsville on proper war
rants, and carried to Smiths home, Rockmart,
for trial. but 1t was decided there that the of
lenses were under the jurisdiction of the Bar
tow courts, where the unlawful caprices of the
couple will have proper attention, The devel-
opments have created the greatest excitement
at Rockmart, where large crowd assembled
to observe the parties on their arrival. Smiths

RATHER PERSONAL.

In recent speech Governor Foraker, of
Ohio said: AT all events the next president will be
q gentleman" The collapse of Forakers chances
as dark horse helped to bring about this satsfac-
tory state of affairs.
1t has been discovered that Harrisons name
spelled backward gives "No, sirrah," and somebody
asserts that nobody had any idea that Harrison
would be nominated. Oh, yesl John C. New knew
all about it.
Representative Randall is the only public
man in Washington who has made no concession in
his dress to the kissing propensties of the

CLARK HOW'LL
Calmly Rowing to His Death.

rEOm tHe 1OIyOke democrat
The coolest and most determined suicide
this city can remember was that Of Walter P. II am
berry's last evening by drowning. Some few min
utes past O'Clock last evening tho visitors to Pros
pect park. who were enjoying the refreshing cool
ness of this delightful spot saw boat apparently
floating toward the dam 1t was dusky at the time,
and In the dim Light 1t was barely discerniDle.
Naturally, the sight of boat about to go over the
dam caused more or less excitement, when closer
look revealed the fact that man was In it. 1t was
also evident that he was much cooler than any Of
the spectators, as he rowed full regular sweeping
stroke which sent his ski through the calm waters
as cleanly as If cut witha knife, and leaving In
It's wake few bubbles, whose rapid collapse
served TO remind the would be.suieidc Of the
rapid approach OF his earthly career. His
last stroke was taken almost the brink Of the
dam; the force of Il sent the bow of bis boat q
couple Of feet over the edge, where it aecmed to
thoseething fosrninp snrf beneath where It's occu-
pant found rest from the cares and troubles Of O
world which had not many pleasures for him.
The spectators of the ghastly scene, made still
more terrible both by the coolness OF the man and
their utter helplcssness to avert his awful doom,
gave sigh Of mingled horror and relief when the
dread event was over and watched eagerly for any
trace Of him, but nothing was again The boat
was tossed about ikea feather and appeared to lie
badly wrecked, but the rapidly approaching dark
ness soon hid this reminder Of the death scene
from sight and the park had lost it's pleasures for

From the Camilla, Ga, Clarion.
A heavy but narrow electric cloud gathered
over Camilla and its western vicinity last Fri
day afternoon. The rain was heavy the wind
severe in places and the lightning terrific. A
bolt struck the south chimney of our office in
the Wood building, doing no damage besides
knockingoif few brick and stampeding the
printers. Parties about town saw smoke as
cending from the chimney of tho printing
Office and from that of Brimberry s. store.
The house of Rose Sapp, negro woman
was also struck and the crockery pretty badly
smashed. Lightning loves conspicuous OBJ
jectS. and If there is anything conspicuous
about Camilla 1t is the Clarion and Rose Sam.
Rose gets up the excitements and the Clarion
tells about them.
At the residence of Mr. William H Brim-

lightning knocked off the top of his parlor

The Heated Term In Smithvil1e-That Free
Pass at Last.
From the Lee County News
The editor spent Sunday in Waycross, and
has returned in n religious frame of mind. Now is
the time to subscribe.
Mr. Blaine is reported to have wept over the
grave of Sir Walter Scott. Sir Walter was great
admirer of plumed knights
No paper next week. We always observe
the 9TH of July long we are able to. But when
the thirty days out you can look for the paper
as usual.
Our friends have departed to spend the sum-
mer by the seaside. We have gone as far as our
means would allow, and rented q cabin In front of
Billy Wells mill pond. Cheapness with cheerful
ness is great gain.
We will offer no more premiums with this
paper. The last one we offered was accordion,
warranted to keep whole town awake for any
number Of nights if played according to directions.
1t was awarded to O man who lived near Chokee.
The man has not been heard OF since, and the peo-
pie in that neighbOrhOod have ordered their sub
scriptions stopped.
Weare in receipt OF an offer from o New
York concern of five pounds of printing ink in
exchange for hnlfcolumn advertisement, to take
the run ofthe paper for year. 1t may seem
strange, but we have really declined this liberal
Offer One reason IS, we hate to impose on any,
body by accepting such free offer, but the prime
cause OF our declining Is the fact, perhaps not
generally known to ink vendors, that we make our
own ink. And just as long as w. w. Thompson
will furnish us with the tar and Oliver Hayes the
axegrease, we will not be open to any such tempt
ing offers as the above.
No paper will be issued from this office next week
We regret this for one Our delinquents will
throw 1t up TO us the next time we gol on collect
ing tour, and we VIII feel mean about 1t, and let
them off for yet anotheryear. But We can't help
it. We've got free pass and John Clark's linen
duster from Smithvile to Atlanta, and return, and
we Just can't keep still,
This is the only pass that we never asked for; and
now, as 1t lies before us in all its green reality we
feel choking sensation in the throat, as though
we had just struck the fish season, and the tear
that trcmbles in our eye is like the bead on X Xxx
Mountain dew The only drawback Is the state
ment ofthe railroad that 1t won't be responsible
for us after We leave the depot but though at first
glance this would seem a little personal, we are
10th to believe that they meant to suggest that we
would need somebody to look after us.
But we have got the pass, and nothing but long
sickness or sudden death can keep us from using it.
The paper will be out as usual week after next
and win DO brimiul ofbeauty and JOY forever Till
then-adieu!

Lost Her Charming Shoulders.

A beautiful lady in Paris, belonging to the dip

dent at ball. to the intense delight of her "bosom
friends Of the fair The lady in question wore
lowbodied dress of artistic design, which attract
ed general admiration, but what most riveted the
attention of the ball guests were her shoulders of
dazzling white. Suddenly her brooch, a splendid
cameo, became unfasten ed, dropped to the ground
and broke to pieces. In her alarm the fair owner
quickly stopped to pick up the fragments But this
rapid movement caused something still more valua-
Bile to fall to the ground viz: a portion of the
charming white shoulders of the lady, piece of
mass resembling porcelain, deieately touched up in
blue and pink. The gentlemen gazed in blank as
tonishment at the damaged beauty whilethe ladies
giggled in their Observation-Disclosures, and the hus
band ran for shawl to conceal the misfortune.
