do the work. He was a healthy
| good looking young man of good ad
dress. Although nothing but me
| chanic, he was not in appearance what
| is commonly pictured in a novel
| yet, he was very fine type OF man
| hood. When Mary and the young
man met for the first time at the old
mansion OH a summers morning to
| complete the repairing of the house,
they looked at each other the same as
all young people generally do. 1t was
love at first sight, and an immediate
courtship ensued, which in a short
time ripened into mutual affection for
each other. Little did the minister
think that his daughter was carrying
on a clandestine courtship with the
young man, as he thought she was
almost infallible in that line,
she had never previously mani
tested any regard for any man in the
matrimonial line. Besides he was
so deeply engrossed in his daily du-
ties at the seminary that he paid lit
tie or no attention to what was going
on between the lovers at the old man
sion. He suspected nothing unusual,
consequently the lovers had ample
time and opportunity to carry on their
courtship unmolested. After time the
carpenter completed the repairs and
by this time the lovers were engaged to
be married, but no certain date fixed.
for their union, as they knew very
we'll the minister would not sanction
their marriage under any considera-
ton, so there was nothing left for
them to do but to plan and execute
an elopement which they carried into
effect, one pleasant morning in June,
$50. There was carriage in waiting
for the pair a short distance from the
house, to which they repaired and
drove off to the city of Alexandria
and got married, the old adage love
laughs at locksmiths. When the
minister found out the rash steps his
had taken without his con-
sent, his feelings had no bounds, af-
Ter the fine training he gave his only
,hild, all he could do was to make
he best of bad job; and in short |
lime he relented and received the |
couple back to the old home and for |
rave them. Several years ago the !
has been laid to rest along |
ide of his wife, in the far end of the |
I'D apple orchard. Mary and Ler
husband are still living at the old |
tone mansion, including large fam
ly of interesting boys and girls. Ma
Y has never regretted marrying the
Dung carpenter as they live very
happily together in the old mansion
among the old hills Of Nir-
'inia on the banks of the Potomac.

However this may be, the following was
related to THE STATESMAN yesterday morn
ing:
K gentleman is the owner of two fine
sows. Yesterday morning it was necessary
to doctor one for screw worms. She was
roped and thrown to the ground, and her
grunts and groans and squeals greatly ex
cited her companion, who ran wildly about
a few minutes. She finally stopped as if to
collect her thoughts and then, taking in the
situation, quickly ran to the rope which
held her companion, and which was tied to
tree, and endeavored to bite it in two.
She was driven off, when she again took q
survey of the situation, and at once hast
ened to the tree around which the rope was
tied and did her best to get the
slip knot loose. From her actions
she evidently reasoned that the
rope was the source of the difficulty and if
she could get it loose her companion would
be freed.
While about this subject it may not be
amiss to allude to the fact that Prof. Bes-
serer's buggy horse has mind of his own
and uses it. The professor goes his rounds
almost daily to hear his pupils, and his
horse soon learns about how long it takes
for each. Should lesson be unusually
difficult and the prescribed time slip away
the faithful horse at the gate grows uneasy
and calls and calls as if to warn the profess
sor that time is up with that particular pu
pill and he must HE away to another. If
Mr.. Besserer is still tardy the old horse
frets, and it is actually said scolds the pu-
pills for not being more careful and diligent
in their studies so as to not delay his mas
ter.

THE COUNTY ALLIANCE.
Some Information for Farmers About the
Austin Cotton Yard.


The Travis county Farmers Alliance has
sent out circular to all farmers, relative
to the cotton yard in this city. 1t says:
This Exchange will be the only one of the
kind in the city of Austin, and will concen-
trate the whole business in one spot, and is
for the sole purpose of 5selling cotton
brought there. The Alliance does not buy
anything, but has made permanent ar
engagements with banks of this city whereby
liberal cash advances will be made on cot
ton yard receipts.
The farmer need not waste time by SELL
ing his cotton-that matter will be attended
to by person employed by the Alliance
for such business-but can, instead, put his
warehouse receipt in his pocket and go and
attend to any other business he may wish
to- calling at the yard before leaving the
city for settlement, or else leaving it on
storage, fully protected from any loss by
fire by the insurance always carried by the
Alliance, and safe from theft or damage by
rain. These warehouse receipts will always
be received at the banks of Austin as secu-
rity for advances of money; and thus the
farmer can 60 where he likes and purchase
at the lowest market price for cash such
goods as he may need. If you cannot come
yourself send your cotton, and we will
faithfully attend to your business in your
absence and give your driver a proper re-
ceipt for it.
The expenses incident to dealing with the
Alliance yard are given below-it being the
aim to make the yard only self-supporting,
and not requiring more than two or three
men employed in the yard.

a charge of 10 cents per bale will be made.

is not left on storage over month. After
the first month an additional charge of 10
cents per bale per month will be made to
cover insurance and storage.

The Bridge Floor.

The county commissioners now in ses-
sion may as well make up their minds to
have new floor put down on the river
bridge at the foot of the Avenue.
The one now in use has seen its best day
and is about completely worn out 1t has
more than served the time usually allotted
to bridge floors, and the timbers have worn
thin and become exceedingly brittle.
A new floor is imperatively needed and
before November, if all signs do not fail,
the commissioners will be forced to put
dow one, but it will be far better to do the
work now During October and November
the travel over the bridge is very great, and
to put off the improvement until then will
be far more announcement to the public than
to have it done at this time. Besides, there
is possibility of some one breaking
through and having his horse injured, and
then the county will have damages to pay.
Better floor that bridge atonce and be done
with it.
