G. H. Darlington of the Herald and
Tribune is secretary and f. A. Ship
ley treasurer The capital stock was
fixed at $200,O00and the books opened
to receive subscriptions.
When the editor OF the Herald and
Tribune read OF the refreshments at
the celebration "of the breaking
OF dirt" on the Johnson City and Caro-
lima railroad his fancy turned to his
accustomed free lunch" and he is
now kicking himself because he was
not present. Poor thing. The idea
OF missing a free "beer festival" as he
terms it, gives him the razzle.
1t is rumored that the East Tennes
sec, Virginia and Georgia Railroad
Company contemplate changing theil
line by building from Limestone o.
Telford to Embreeville, to connec
with the Johnson City and Caroline

Jonesboro, and would necessitat'
moving the court house either to Tel
ford or Boone's Greek.

A GHOST STORY.

II am gong to be married, my dear
can see the tears in your pretty eyes
as you say to Harry, Poor slbyI! she
can never be as happy as We are. OF
course can not. No woman can who
does not marry her first love, while her
past is without regret, and her failure
without shadow. Bat AIN going to
marry what is more rare than first love
-perfectlon. Absolutely he has not a
fault, and the wonder of wonders is that
lie should desire the society through
life Of one who is SO tnll Of fauls us
am. He is clever, rich, amiablc, good
looking, thlrtytwo, respected Of all
men, and (until within the past week
praised of all women. Can you wonder
that dear mamma, who has been II little
anxious about me thus last year or so, is
as happy as a queen. and that my
acquaintances are all loud in their con-
gratuIatlons But then as they say,
'Sibyl Van Eyck has ALWAYS been a
lucky girl You and l. my Kate, might
differ with them US to that. only it is
not worth while recalling such very
old and common place mishap. Indeed,
I am not without realizing sense Of
my mcrcles myself, for that a young
woman facing her thlrtieth birthday SO
nearly as | DO, and who has played fast
and loose with such good cards as kind
ly Fate has hitherto thrust INTO her
hands-that such a young woman
should become Mrs. Brian Chester is
truly wonderful favor OF Fortune. 1t
is not the first time that you have seen
his name in my letters, and dare say
that with your usual sagacltv you have
had suspicious of what might come to
pass? Behold me at length on the eve
Of marriage, fguratively that is for we
are not to be married until June, and
this is only January, but it seems very
near to me.
"Shall | whisper something to you,
my Kate, so low that not even Harry
shall hear it? q know you keep my
secret even from him } | respect Brian
Chester, admire him, | am proud OF
his preference, aud feel safer and more
g rest With him than ever did in my
hre-ye;, oh, Kate Kate! it is not
such love as yours for Harry in the
days of your love making, nor like mine
for--the knight who wooed and rode
away. 1t is because | am twenty eight,
and such a dreadful airt, us people say,
or because MIR. Chester s affection for me
is so very cheerful and matter Of fact ?
He is evidently incapable Of jealousy,
and eyinces beautiful faith in me,
which my past has scarcely justified. |
ought to be immensely hattered, but |
am not. for that perfect love which
casteth out fear is divine, and far above
poor, passionate, doubling humanity.
Do not, however, imagine me so foolish
as not to know that | am more nearly
happy than ! have been for years, and
that shall be a very contented woman
AZ Mrs. Brian Chester. Kiss your small |
Violet for me, and give my love to Har-
ry. | Can trust him, whatever his
criticisms may be, not to say, AS Bob
Lsle did when Mary Vincy was MARI
ed last mouth, Another old landmark
gone r
Always your loving S1BYL.'

Lieutenant Dean with his command went through Tombstone this morn ing on their way back to Fort Hua- chuca. The lieutenant stated to a Prospector representative that they were ordered back by a heliograph signal from Fort Bowie on Saturday afternoon He states that the coun- try along the line is absolutely void of forage for animals, and 1t would be impossible to maintain a camp under taae present circumstances on the line. The two animals killed at Leslie's ranch had been stabbed and not shot as was at first reported, which was sufficient proof that they were short of ammunition and did not care to waste any. The colt had been skin ned and al the meat stripped from It Lieutenant Dean as we'll as Lieuten- ant McGrath, of Fort Bowie, who was with him, are positive that the killing of Hardie was done by Indians, and that the band numbered five 8f thinks 1t the same outfit that killed Sheriff Reynolds The border is now unguarded by troops.

THE FIRST WHEAT.
Pima Indians Beat the Worlds Record
 for New Wheat.

New wheat on the second day of Junel
 Certainly there is no portion of the United States that can beat, or even equal, this.
 Yesterday there came into the city from the Pima reservation a party of about twenty Indians, each driving be- fore him burro upon the back of each was packed two sacks of wheat, bright and clean, just threshed.
 These Indians, although some of them are supplied with tools by the government, as rule farm and harvest their crops by the crudest methods and yet they are self supporting farm CTS and have been such for hundreds of years. In fact, they are more than self-supporting, for in exceptionally good years there has been raised on the reservation more than 1000 900 bushels of wheat, leaving ths Indians a handsome surplus over their own needs. The wheat brought in yester- day, forty sacks, was disposed of at good prices to Phenix merchants.
 The above, from the Phenix Re publican, errs ill the amount of wheat raised by the Indians on the Pima reservation. Last year they produced six million pounds, not sixty million as stated by the Republican,
