The Wife Helped to Win.

Floyd county, Ca, came off with
flying colors at the Atlanta Exposi-
ton, having carried off first prizes
on agricultural products, minerals,
timber and the best bale of cotton.
Rome is the county seat of Floyd,
and the people of that fiourishing
city are jubilant over the awards.
The agricultural part of the exhibit
was due, says the Rome Tribune, "to
Mr.. David Shelton and his helpful
and gracious wife," and the people
of Rome propose to give them a roy
al reception in recognition of the
fame they have succeeded in winning
for Floyd county. Mr.. Shelton is
indeed prize winner, but his best
winning seems to have been in the
matrimonial prize.

Building Charged with Electricity.

The Asheville Citizen is response
BILE for the following: A crowd of
people stood around the front of the
National bank of AsheviIle building
yesterday afternoon. There was a
good deal of fun, for the iron col
umns were charged with electricity
and all who touched them were
shocked free Of charge. Late in the
afternoon the cause was discovered
in an electric wire that had dropped
onto the Skyland gallery sign on
Patton avenue, establishing connec-
ton with the wire which ran into
the bank building. The discovery
and the remedy broke up the fun
the boys were having.

Business Safe From Disturbance.

Independent from all party con-
siderations, the recent elections have
accomplished incalculable good for
the country at large. They have
settled for years to come that our
money shall not be further debauch-
ed, and that the free silver craze has
perished from our political conflicts.
No matter what party shall profit or
suffer from such a decision of the
people, the country is greatly to be
Congratulated. 1t may be accepted
as settled that the wild scheme of
free coinage of silver can never be
part of the financial policy of this
government.

A Bad Record in Our Own State.

In six weeks thirteen deaths of ne
gro children of tender years have oc-
Cured in this State, due entirely to

on the farm. The poor children we're
in each case roasted. For ten years
past the annual death-rate in the
State from this criminal carelessness
has been about sixty. Yesterday in

Our pulses to unwonted measures beat
To see some face Of light

Some precious page will steal our hearts

The while we read we feel lifes dormant

ITO touch that robe OF white,
Live in that presence bright
Why dwelt we not near that sweet saintT we
say.
Now and again the patient waiting faces
of aged folk whose days are nearly run,
Gentle manhood, children's tender graoes
Bring wistful joy like pain.
Could these with us remain.
How different were life beneath our sunl
Once and forever, from beyond the sun,
Shall come the light to show all longing
hearts
Their never-found, their loved and lost, each

And thus great promise give,
That all on earth who live,
Shall love aud knowledge have when time is

My wife aud ! went out for our morn
ings walk. But it seemed to us, when
we looked at "our view, as If we could
only see those invisible villages of which
Drede had told us--that other side of the
ridges and rises of which we catch no
glimpse from lofty hills OF from the
heights Of human self esteem. We
meant to stay out until tile Bredes had
taken their departure, but we returned
just in time to see Pete, the Jacobus
darky, the blacker of boots, the brusher
of coats, the general handy man Of the
house, loading the Brede trunks on the
Jacobus wagon.
Aud as we stepped upon the veranda.
down came Mrs. Brede, leaning on Mr.
Brede's arm, as though she we're III; and
it was clear that she had been crying
There were heavy rings about her pretty
black eyes.
My wife took a stop toward her.
Look at that dress, dear, she whis-
pered, "she never thought anything like
this was going to happen when she put
that on.
1t was a pretty, delicate, dainty dress,
a graceful, narrow striped affair Her
hat was trimmed with a narrow striped
silk of the same colors-maroon and
white-and in her hand she held para
sol that matched her dress
"She had a new dress on twice day, 81
said my wife; "but that's the prettiest
yet Oh, somehow-Pm awfully sorry
they're goingl"
But going they were. They moved
toward the steps. Mrs Brede looked
toward my wife, and my wife moved
toward Mrs. Brede. But the ostracised
woman as though she felt the deep hu-
initiation Of her position, turned sharply
away, and opened her paraso to shield
her eyes from the sun. A shower Of
rice--a half pound shower of rice
fell down over her pretty hat and pretty
dress, and fell in a spattering circle on
the floor outlining her skirts--and there
it lay in broad, uneven band, bright il
the morning sun.
Mrs Brede was in my wifes arms,
sobbing us if her young heart would
break.
"Oh, you poor, dear, silly childreulr
my wife cried, as Mrs. Brede sobbed on
her shoulder, why didn't you tell US ?
"W-W-W We didn't want to be
t-t-taken for b-b-b-bridal couple. -
sobbed Mrs Brede; "and we d-d-didn't
dream what awful lies we'd have to tell,
and all the aw-aw- awful mixed-up ness

Brede held out large hard hand

And my asst doubt of Mr. Brede van
ished as he shook that grimy hand in
manly fashion.
The two women were walking off
toward Our View, each with an arm
about the others waist-touched by
sudden sisterhood of sympathy.
Gentlemen, said Mr.. Brede, address
ing Jacobus, Bicycles, the major, and
me, there is a hostelry down the street
where they sell honest New Jersey beer

ton.
We five men filed down the street.
The two women went toward the pleas

forehead Of the great hill. On Mr.

of shining grains of rice. Two Of Mr..

pIore Africa on Her own Hook.
Mrs. Mary French Sheldon announced
that she would start in February next
for Zanzibar, aud from there 60 to M1zam-
bique and thence make a journey into
Central Africa. Her idea of going to
Africa practically alone, or at least not
accompanied but only attended, is to do
something that no other woman has
done and to bring back something that
has never yet been brought Out of Africa.
"Men, says Mrs, Sheldon, "ose sight
of great many things in going into a
new country. They get the geography
and topography of the country and of
course something about tile people
shall go into new fields will learn of
the home life of the savages, shall
bring back folk lore and legend and ro-
nance expect to take a phonograph
and bring back some real African
voices.
In telling of her proposed travels in
her enthusiastic, earnest manner Mrs
Sheldon said; "The expedition shall be
entirely my own; the honors, if there
be any, shall not DO divided and the
criticisms-and of course there may be
many-must be aimed at me alone
shall take my stenographer only to the
starting point in Africa and from there
on shall be the only white woman in
the rarity. I shall be attended, of
course by several black women. will
also have several Arab attendants and
