An Enjoyable Evening"

A very delightful reception was tender
ed last Friday evening by Mr. and Mrs.
Chas. Heuck, ST., to "a select company Of
friends. The occasion was in honor of
their son and daughter Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
Heuck, Jr., who had been united in mar
riage at French Camp, Miss, the day be-
fore, and it was also the cath anniversary
of the marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. Heuck
themsel YES. The handsome parlors were
fairly radiant with youth and beauty,
and for hours all went as merrily indeed
as the prOverbial marriage BELL" special
homage being paid to the manly yonng
groom and his fair bride, as well as to the
worthy and dignifed senior couple whose
hospitality was being enjoyed and whose
"a years of welded life have witnessed
only that mutual deyotion and domestic
happiness which give to the marriage tie
its most sacred charm. A tempting
spread of good things was laid before the
guests during the evening, and at IL
o'clock reluctant goodnight was said,
all wishing both the senior and junior
couple many, many returns of this joyful
and suspicious occasion.

A great many farmers failed to plant
their spring oats. Too much rain.
We are glad to see the sun again and
hear the birds sing like springtime.
Farming and gardening is on the slow
train and considerably behind times.
Log-rolling is over with the farmers on
~ as it comes on with the candidates.
The long continued winter-like weather
has become monotonOus to the farmers.
Mr.. Andy Greer has the finest oats in
this section, and is highly pleased with
his fine horse, Henry Lee, though he
would sell.
Wade Summers, the afflicted son of Mr.
A. NJ. Summers, is back from Atlanta,
where he has been in the National Surgi-
cal Institute for several months, for treat
ment. He is very greatly improved and
his ultimate recovery almost assured.

Rev. J. A. Scarborough, we'll known TO
hundreds of the LEADERS readers, has in
vented valuable improvement in the
way of buggy shaft, for which he has
an application for patent now pending.
The main point of the invention is IN hav-
ing the shafts Adjustable so as to be easily
fitted to a horse of any size, and Mr..
Scarborough has accomplished this to
perfection, as he demonstrated to the
writer recently by pair he is using on
his own buggy. 1t also secures to the
horse greater freedom from the jerking
movements of the buggy when the wheels
strike an obstruction, and rice reIsd, saves
the buggy and rider from great deal OF
the "horse motion" incident to the old
fashion buggy shafts.
Mr.. Scarborough, who has spent years
in riding in a buggy over the piney woods
OF South Mississippi in the performance
of his ministerial duties, has also studied
out another valuable invention for which
he IS expecting patent. This is cap
or shield to prevent the sand and mud
from working into the wheel Oh the axle,
combined with which is an automatic axle
lubricator.

STEALING WOMEN.
Armenian Christians SorcIy AT
f1icted by Tribesmen.


fiicted by Tribesmen.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Nov 26.-An earn
est appeal was presented to the Arme-
MAN patriarch to use his influence in
behalf of the Christian women and girls
of Armenia, who are being carried off
in large numbers by the Kurds. 1t ap-
; pears that women are scarce among the
wild trIbeSmen. who when they want
wives swoOp down on some Armenian
neighborhOod and bear away all the
gOod-looklng young women they can
find, thus leaving to the Armenian
young men only the less attractive. In
several instances the KurdS have broken
in on wedding parties and carried off
the BRIDE from the feast or church. 1t
is believed that the Kurd tribeSmen
must nearly all have Armenian wives,
judging from the number stolen, al
though it is also inlimated that they
dispose of the surplus at a fair market
price for Turkish and Persian harems.
The Turkish authorities are accus ed
of encouraging the KurdS in their law
lessnes5, and instead of trying to catch
and punish the raiders, they arrest and
lmprlSOn ArmenianS who resist them.
One Armenian father at SivaS blessed
with four daughters, went to the Vail
to ask for protection, as he feared a
visit from the Kurds, and was immedi.
ately arrested and put in prison for a
week. When he was released his
daughters were gone, whether taken by
the Turks or Kurds he could not dis
cover. Hence the appeal to the patri-
arch, whom the Armenians expect to
help them by his influence with the
Porte. The patriarch, whether he is
afraid of the Truks or not. takes but a
languid interest in the subject.
