THE GRAND COUNCIL.
No. 14,o1O


THE GRAND COUNCIL.
This is a motion to dismiss the appeal for
failure TO file the transcript. The certificate of
the Clerk makes a I,1inad Jocte case in favor OF
the moving party, but appellant claims that
there is statement on motion for new trial,
which remains unsettled by the Judge of the
court below, and which he intends to use on
appeal.
The Judge of the court below, after repeated
hearings on appellants application to settle
the statement, has refused TO certify to it on
the ground that it has lost its right to a
statement by its failure to present the same
to him for settlement An application was
made to this court in bank for writ requir-
ing the Judge to settle the statement, and the
petition has been denied. The facts shown
there (Coffey VS.. the Grand Council, this day
filed) are the same as the facts here.
If we assumed that the Judge had the power
in his discretion to settle the statement after
February 10th, it still appears that after re-
peated applications he has refused to settle the
statement, and we must assume that he
will continue to do so, and that there can,
therefore, be no statement on appeal.
The appeal is dismissed. PATERSON, j.
We concur:

A Gentleman.

Editor of the COLUMBIA HERALD:
The word gentleman, used in its
strictest sense, constitutes all Ihat
goes to make up a model husband.
A gentleman, after the sacred rites
o. matrimOny have been performed,
has by this one step entered new
territory. Here he is still to be
gentleman, but must more carefully
guard his thoughts, words and &C
lions, that he may be worthy to bear
the grandest title ever bestowed upon
man. -"husband"
A model husband does not forget
himself, but considers the untty OF
the 1.-TWO in one" and directs his at
tention to this double "One," taking
care that nothing comes to break the
tie made by God-the tie that no man
! ia to UDut asunder." He is3 cOntinu-
alIv .by the thousands OF little acts and
words, binding, strengthening and
Tightening the cord that units his
heart, soul and interests with the
heart, soul and interests OF his wife.
He cannot fill the "circle marked by
heaven" if he thinks that for one
moment his path and that OF his wife
diverge. But if, on the contrary, he
does everything in his power to unite
their interests, he will not be found
"wantingr when weighed in the
balances, but will have enhanced the
value of his talent more than one
thousand fold. He will receive his
reward here and hereaftesEherei in
life of blessed joy, hereafter in the
addition of sparkling diamond 70

interests. By industry, cruel want is

thereupon concludes that too many
men are guilty of economiZing in

could this be called self-denial? Not

Mr.. r. L. Jeter, who lived at this
place last year and moved from here to
Reynolds Station, had the misfortu ne
last Saturday the 18th to lose his wife.
She left a girl baby one month old.
1t will be remembered that John X.

near GAINESVILLE, where they have been

years. On Sunday the 5th of this

Some one who was hungry for bacon
took the privilege to go into Mr.. Polk

ANOTHER ONE IN RHYME.

Editor of the COLUMBIA HERALD:
A model husband told In rhyme,
With a model wife is hard to find;
But a model husband kind and true
With a fussy wife doesn't know WhaI
to do.
For a model husband I'll do my best,
Hoping some lady will write the rest
For when the men are permitted 10
write
Blessed is he that speaks no i'll,
That keeps the law of kindness still;
i saint indeed he longs to be
And lead his faithful family.
His children to school he will send
Aud to please his wife the money he
will spend.
When he is going on a journey will say
With you dear wife l would like to stay
Young men, live a christian life
And always be happy and bright;
Marry YOU a good model wife
Ever to be with you through toll and
strife.
He must live a christian life,
And be honest kind and true,
And cheer his poor weeping wife
When lowering clouds are blue.
When wrinkles gather on her brow
Her cares he to dismiss,
Will take her face between his hands
And smoOthit with kiss.
And when she forever sinks to rest
And is freed from every care,
Heaven will not be heaven to her,
Till she meets her husband there.
The model husband, may he ever be
blest,
In life be faithful, and in death hno
rest. WINIFRED.

What I think About Model Husband:

Editor of the COLUMBIA HERALD'
AS every one seemed to be express
ing their ideas on this subject, L
thought [ would do likewise.
1 think the man who keeps MINI
self as pure as he expects his wife 10
be, and is always as tender and
courteous after marriage as he was
before, loves and respects his vile
above all other women, prefers her
society to all others, aliu does not
hesitate to let it be known, and is
lust as willing, (and even more so) to
accommodate her, when they have
been married twenty years as he was
when she was single; Who always
tries to look neat and loves to see mel
the same; Who never decieves his
wife in even the smallest matters
who does not speak lightly OF the
opposite sex; Who is true chris
TAM in every sense of the. word
who is tasty and refined, and above
all who does not expect more OF hi
wife than he is willing to do himself
| if he will do all the above, Mr.. Editor
in mn opinion, he is as near a Mode
Husband" as they get to be in thu
day. COUNTRY OlfA-'
