Wilkinson county has one thing to
be proud of. There is less crime
committed in this county than any
county in the district and her Jail
doors to- day stand open, not a
prisoner confined within its walls.
Our warrants are cashed by the.
Treasurer and our bonded indebted
ness is only $4,000. How many
counties in this State can make this
statement.

BEAUTIFUL JIM.
By JOHN STRANGE WINTER

"That goes without saying" said Jim,
looking at her.
Mrs Earle suddenly became interested
in her ice plate.
"He is SO glad to be going to the Blank
shire regiment. He has always had .
fancy for it, ever since he was a child
Father wanted him to 60 into the cavalry,
because so many of the Earles have been
cavalry soldiers"-it was really wonder
full how fast Miss Earle was talking
"but Stuart wouldn't; he had set his
heart on belonging to the Blsnkshire reg
iment."
Il hope he'll like it when he gets
there" Jim remarked; and surely never
was not joined subaltern given SO much
importance before
"Ohl | think he will-of course asked
the Adairs all about the regiment. and
they say all sorts of pleasant things about
you all By the bye, Mr.. Paunceforth is
the one whom you call Beautiful jim
b ,re?",
Beautiful Jim's blue eyes opened rather
widely at this. for he gathered that she
had not grasped his name at Mrs Seton 8
introduction-bu before he could recover
himself sufficiently to disclose his identity,
Miss Earle went on speaking:
"Aileen tells me he is too charming,
and that the name suits him well in spite
of his being so ugly
well. he is an ugly looking chap. not
o doubt about that" said Jim. feeling the

horror that she had not sooner realized
the delicacy and generosity of this mans
nature.
Jim Beresford himself seemed happy
enough.
"By that same TOKEN" he was saying,

pretty much on the cheap, don't you
know7 Well, it did not much matter, for
we were young and strong, with awfully
healthy appetites, and roughing it bit
didn't hurt us. But, of course, we spent
moro money than we ought, and says to
Neil one morning"-at once dropping into
the true Irishman's way of telling a yarn
-"says l, We must Just pack up our

went down and tried the cabin, first one

them, couldn't at any price; so we left
the CHASTITY crush of fighting men and
crying sea sick women in the full enjoy

where the cold was the worst and the air
was pure enough not to insult our lungs.
Ahl well remember it. that it wasn't all

with bag and had cleared the box, so
that it was already one stage further on

In due time 1t was sorted out from

into bag and carried 1t of on another

Jim opened it.
He read it with surprise-surprise SO in.

been lettering about on the lookout for
