ANTON, MISSISSIPPI FRIDAY, JANUARY 30 1891.

"And | ft ell that she hated me
all along, now. And This is her re-
venge.'
Those four words exercise a
strange effect upon the man who
hears them. He seats himself al
her side. He fixes upon her face
a pair Of eyes that glow strangely.
"E!oise Bristow," he begins, with
solemn, determined voice, "the
story Of my wealth is what first at
tracted you toward me /; but now
that you know me, is there not a
feeling IN your heart wholly apart
from all this ?'
Eloise makes no answer. She
lowers her eyes and begins to
tremble. The man at her side
draws nearer.
"Eloise, | love you well enough to
die for you-yes, even in these
queer, prosaic times of ours. And
if this be the case, surely love
you we'll enough TO work for you !
What is your answer, darling ?
Lift up your head and speak it out
bravely. When Mrs. Radcliffe
next meets us shall she laugh to
herself in magnificent delight and
silently murmur, "My revenge is
accomplished or shall she grind
her handsome white teeth in Sc
cret rage while looking on our
happiness, and be forced TO confess
that We have conquered her with
the very weapons she sought to
use against US, turnin e her revenge
into that which may be our life
long future joy-aud such joy,
Eloise, that no man can purchase 7"
There is momentary silence,
while Eloise sits motionless, with
eyes still lowered ; and then an in
slant later she has flung herself
upon his breast and hidden her
passionately fearful face against
his shoulder. He needed no other
answer.

BOOMING OCEAN SPRINGS.
Delights Of Pass Christian Life.

| OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss, Jan. 53.-
Improvements continue to 90 in
this ambitious old town. Mr.. II.
Ii. Curtis, an enterprising lawyer
from Wisconsin is making brief
visit here to look after his real es-
tate investments and overseer the
men who are engaged in getting
the Alto Park addition to Ocean
Springs into good shape for further
developments. He is The guest of
Mr.. HolcOme, a winter resident
here and summer citizen of Chi
cago. Col. SIgerson and Col. Stu
art are kept busy in the general
stir created by arrivals from the
North of persons desiring TO fa-
miliarize themselves with the new
"bOomy' situation.
The homes Of Messrs. Lewis. Sui
livan and Charnley have nearly
reached completion, and their own
ners, now guests at Frye's Ocean
Springs Hotel, will soon occupy
them. Col. Newcombe Clark has
recovered from his recent illness
and is again 10 been among the
eager citizens who look after spec
ulations and spectators.
There Is really wonderful
change in this quiet town, and
there Is a prospect OF its soon be-
ing classed among the most wide
awake and lively of all the coast
resorts. The popular Jerry O'Keefe,
who knows just how TO show up
the natural advantages of the
place, is doing a thriving business.
Parties of men alight from almost
every train who want TO see what
there may be to justify the wide
spreading desire to invest IN some
bit OF property somewhere on the
coast, and who fear they will hap
pen TO get the wrong spot unless
they see it all.
Recent visitors who were enthu-
siasti over the possibilities of Ocean
Springs under the magical influ-
ence of Northern capital, were
Messrs. High and Myer, two of Chi
cago's wealthy and prominent
young business men, who are now
sojourning for a few weeks of rest
and observation in this part of the
country.

FIGHT AGAINST DEATH.-"Miss
Abbolt's fight against death was
remarkable" SAID Mrs. Miche!ena
in recent interview. almost TO
the last her will was lndomltable,
and it was only when she realized
that the struggle was useless that
she gave up and said simply: Il
am not afraid to die 1t was pitt
ful TO hear her beg the doctor for
just one more year OF life.' Not
that she feared death, but there
was SD much 10 accomplish. Il
only ask for one little year, said
she. i want TO finish Genes mon
ument, and | want to complete a
home for my poor old mother;
then | shall be ready 10 co. At
7:30 o'clock in the morning we
were told that she was dying, but
we supposed that she would linger
through the day. Ten minutes
later she was dead. She died as
quickly and easily as did her hus.
band two years ago, and passed
away with smile on here face.
| wish that all her friends could
have seen her as she lay in her
coffin-just the same Emma they
have seen a thousand times, with
not line ofssuffering or pain on
her face"

p MAYBE LAND.

Beyond where the marshes are dank aud

Is ladder of rcd and gold,
Where the sun has sunk in the shifting
tide
OF the clouds that the night elves mold.

Whose castles and groves we see,
On vapor bank e'sr the mists expand,
To darken the wind-swept lea.
'Tis there that our wishes are all made

Where thea is transformed to Now,
And only the dreamer who idly halts
With pencil and brush in hand,
Can travel the path to the mystic vaults,
And the treasures of Maybe Land.

in Sidney, a few years ago, she

the devil and Jesus Christ were TO
run for Office in this place, his sa.

ministers, and a voice replied /:
He'd get a majority, sure.) If a
man or newspaper outside of

that, how her people would arise

strated their suiiiciency as solvents
of the troubles which a Republican
administration has brought upon
the country. Those principles, he
said, "are enduring because they
are right, and invincible because
they are just" The tone of Mr..
Cleveland's address is one OF conf
dence In their speedy triumph.
The attention of the farmers should
be given especially to the following
paragraph:
''When we see our farmers in
distress and know that they are
not paying the penalty Of their
slothfulness and mismanagement;
when we see their long hours of
toll so poorly requited that the
money lender eats out their sub
stance, while for everything they
need they pay a tribute to the IA
vOrites of governmental care, we
know that all this is far removed |
from the encouragement of agri-
culture which our creed COM
mands. We will not violate our
political duty by forgetting how
