HOW QUIrMAN GOT ITS NAME
A Commercial Tourist Associates It
With a Kissing Story.

With a Kissing Story.
TALLAHASSEE. Fla. Feb. 2.-several
commercial tourists and other guests were
seated on the wide. sunny, southern veran-
da Of the Leon hotel yesterday. They
were smoking and spinning yarns, as is
usual in such gatherings. A broad-shoul-
dered, white-haired gentleman with Jolly
face, bit of the end OF fresh cigar and
tipped back in his chair.
Boys said he, 81 can tell you a little
story, and it Is a true one. Several years
ago, in a sparsely settled portion OF the
great state of Georgia, there was a little
settlement Of thrifty farmers. Ole bright
spring afternoon, near the edge of the
primeval forest HARDLY, upon an immense
pine log, was seated buxom country lasse
with rosy cheeFs and sparkling eyes. She
was busily engaged arranging bouquet Of
wild flowers.
NOW it so happened that young artist
from Boston was down in the neck Of the
woods making sketches. When he saw the
pretty country maiden seated upon the log
he felt that if he could get that picture upon
canvas shis name as an artist would become
famous. A twig snapped beneath his foot.
She turned, saw Dim and sprang to her feet
as If to run. He advanced rapidly toward
her, hat in hand. and introduced himself.
They sat down together side by side on the
log. Soon his arm stole around her waist.
Quit mani she said, but as
she did not draw away ne pressed
her closer to his manly bosom
and began sboweriDg kisses upon
her ruby lips, she meanwhile repeating the
cry, Quit mani between the smacks. One
OF the boys from the settlement journeyed
that way on his return from hunting and
saw and heard. He quietly retired That
was on Saturday. Next day at Sunday
school the boy told the story. From that
day every one spoke of the settlement as
QUIT man settlement, and to-day it is a
thriving town, still bearing the name of
Quitman. You can find it on any of the
maps Of Georgia"

Montreal Sends 1t to Capt. O'Grady
for His Display of Pluck.
MONTREAL, Feb 2-To-night the Cana
dian Pacific express from st. John, N B.,
will carry to Capt. O'Grady of the British
ship Glendon, who refused to haul down his
colOrs at Bridgeport, Conn.,. on Sunday at
the demand of an angry and excited mob,
largely composed of state militia, brand
new union jack which was purchased by n
number of maritime province people living
in Montreal as we'll as q subscription from
the people of Montreal. So great was the
desire to subscribe 10 this testimonial |
that the amount of each had to be placed
OF a very low figure, and the number of
people subscribing had to be limited. The
ship went into Bridgeport flying the British
colors alone instead of following the usual
custom of also flying the coors of the
country she visits. There is no law requr-
ing foreign vessels to hoist the American
colors on coming into an American port,
but the custom is universally observed.
When the omission was noticed by the
Bridgeporters they were inclined to mob
the vessel until they learned that no law
had been violated.
