One evening Old Sol was chopping
some pine in front Of the cabin door
when well dressed man with light hair
and blue eyes approached unobserved
and stood within few feet of him.
Good evening" said the stranger.
Old Sol Strengthened himself, eyed
him critically from head to foot and
said:
"Howdy"
II am seeking lodgings for the night, "
said the well dressed man in answer to
this greeting.
Sol scrutinized him again as before,
and after some deliberation remarked:

tone as left some doubts as to whether

LEATHER BREECHES.

Old Sol called her Leather Brooches.
Nobody else had occasion to call her
any other name since her mother died,
except the man who occasionally brought
corn to Old Soils still.
Old Sol was her father and ''moon-
sinner" He was called ''moonshiner'
because. being an illicit distiller. he was
supposed to run his still by moonlight to
prevent detection by the revenue officers.
But he wasn't moonshiner in the strict
sense Of the word He didn't run his
distillery by night any more than gov
eminent distillers did. There was no
need for it.
The still was in pit under his own
hut, and the smoke found its way out
of his own chimney.
Subterranean pipes conducted the
water to and from the still, SO that
there was little danger of detection.
Besides this there was small field of
corn about the house, and altogether
this seemed to be the last place rev.
enue officer would look for an illicit dis
tillery.
The vigilance of Leather Brooches
made it doubly safe. for she was handy
with Old Soils rifle and never feared to
use it when the occasion demanded.
But she was a beauty-Leather Brooches
was.
Her black hair was like silk, and ker
beautiful plump flesh shamed the most
luscious peach Her eyes! There is a
large spring in western Georgia which,
from its great depth. is supposed to be
bottomless, and has BLUSH tint like the

veals nothing uncommon. But gaze

and changing seems presents itself.
Variegated stones. pebbles. petrified
trees and sparkling crystals rise sue
cessively to your enchanted vision.
Leather Brooches eyes were like this.
She was great help to Old Sol and a
great comfort, too. for when he was low
spirited she put her arm around his neck
and kissed him. and sometimes teased
him to get him right again.
Often she would say. Pap, I'm gwine
| ter marry"

To those who gave their support TO

to cast their votes for the candidates OF

nomination, ''as the sea we are one"-

Not wishing to make inviduous dis

PRIDE in especially thanking the people
OF this city, OF Sni-a Bar, of Washing
ton, of Clay, of Lexington and of Davis
townships for the very tiattering vote
they gave me-not forgetting those of
other townships that furnished the
smaller number OF votes by which my
nomination was made possible.
And now "With malice toward none
and with charity for all" let us with
