Sarah was aware that that speech was
boldly ruthless, but she was unprepared
for the fash of anger in her sister S

of her lips, for the baughtiness and the
indignation and the stern reproach.
"He loves me-" Ruth cried, 'and he

Ruth sat with Mrs. NARROW on the
broad porch Of that lady's pretty
residence. She had come, and spirit
of unwillingness and dread hal come
with her.
The old blue serge aud the lace hat
had come, too. she had been firm on
that point. She had Ou the serge now,
disguised by Sarab's anxious hendS with
soft cascade Of chiffon, and she was
looking unusually we'll in it.
Mrs. NARROW sat on the opposite side
of little cherry table. 1t held two fra

This was Thursday afternoon.
But Ruth liked Mrs. NARROW. Preju-
dice aud apprehension could not alter
that. She was kind and gracious, aud
handsome and imposing, and towards
Ruth she was openly affectionate.
She was warmly smiling at her now,
and smoothing down the delicate folds
of her black lace dress, and turning her
be-diamonded bracelet with plain ex-
citement.

SWEET SUMNER TIME.

o, winter may be very nice
For those who skate upon the ico
And own a horse AMI sleigh,
But for feast Of endless joy
Wen take the summer time, my boy,
And take it every day.
Just think of lying under trees
And watching busy, buzzing bees
Go in and out of flowers,
And bearin, feathered songsters sing
While ycu within hammock swing
For long and lazy hours
Imagine how it feels TO strip
And in the salty ocean dip
And gambol in the spray,
And hear the military bani
Upon the mellow moon-lit sand
Without cent to pay.
Think of the picnic festive joys
When all the dear old girls and boys
Play Copenhagen" blest;
Around the rope-stretched ring ives AM
Till some one slapS our willing hand,
And then we do the rest.
And think of fishing fun su )reme,
Of treating sweethearts to ice cream
Beside the fountains sound.
And sailing with the jolly tarS,
or riding in the open cars
And ON the merry -go-round.
Just dream OF sparkling at the gate
Without fear Of staying late
Against papa's law,
OF wearing zebra blazer coats
And flannel shirts with open throats
And dainty hats OF straw.
Remember watermelonS too,
And mornings sparkling with the dew
And fragrant with perfume;
o, yes! Sweet summer cannot be
Too hot for either you or me
Forever may it boom.

"No. She wants me to come there, "
said Ruth. She looked very tall aud
very pretty, standing straight, with a
flush and a frown. "She wants me to
come, because" Ruth dwelt resentfully
on every syllable e-''because she expects
her nephew next week, and she wants
me to meet him. Meet him." said Ruth;
severely.
Her mother looked upon her with a
serene expressiOn-nay, with a pleased
smile.

clared, with a graciousness a little i'm
paired by the towel which wreathed her
head. "Pleased that woman of Mrs.

Mrs. LarasOn beamed.

Her mother rested her strong and
well-tormed hands upon the broom
handle. Mrs. Larason was woman of
energy. The towel slipped down over
one keen, bright eye.
81 don't know what notion Mrs.
NARROW may have in her head, Ruth, "
she remarked, "but l do know she is
fcnd of you. 1t is not in the least prob

Mrs. Larason went on sweeping.
sI don't know how you can speak so,

And she almost ran from the room.
Sarah followed her-fOllowed her up

RAIN PREDICTED,
And the People Want 1t to Come as Soon
as Possible.

The weather prophets are predict
ing rain, and there is general desire
that their predictions may be veri-

farmers are waiting for rain to begin
sowing wheat. They are at stand.
still and can do nothing until the
rain comes. They have housed the
tobacco crop and are now ready for
sowing wheat. They want to do
this work before the time comes for
stripping tobacco. The merchants
want rain because it will make their
business better. People are still
wearing summer clothing and the
fall stock is lying in the storehouses
here in the city. They will not
make their winter purchases until
winter comes, and this will hardly
come before good rain. Cisterns
are also dry and water is scarce.
Everybody, therefore, is wanting a
good rain.

A Word With Merchants.

From now until the election the
campaign will be warm in this coun-
ty and merchants will have a good
chance to advertise with hand-bills.
The speakings at the various points
in the county will bring together
large numbers of people, and this
will be the place to distribute circu-
lars. Merchants should take advan.
tage of it and no doubt will. The
LEAF CHRONICLE makes a speciality
of this kind of work, and will furnish
handbills ON short notice and close
prices. Merchants who intend do
ing this character of ad vertising
should call at our Office and leave
their orders. They will be appre.
ciated and promptly filed.

ADJUDGED INSANE.
R. H. Patterson in Jail at Dover For
Insanity.

Cumberland City has little sensa-
ton in the shape Of trial on a writ
of lunacy. r. III. Patterson, a preach
er, was arrested there yesterday and
tried on charge of lunacy, by jury.
He was adjudged insane and was
sent to Dover, where he was jailed to
await the proper papers by which he
will be transferred to the lunatic
asylum at Nashville. Mr.. Patterson
has been preaching over the lower
part of the county for several years,
and has been regarded as crazy for
some time. The fact is he has been
in the asylum before, and was turned
out with the report that he had re-
covered. He grew worse and the
above action became necessary.
When searched at the Dover Jail a
razor and large rock were found on
his person.

PAPER TAKES A SOAR.
A Ten Per Cent. Advance Makes the
Cost of Ballots Big Item.

When the State Auditors and po-
litical committees throughout the
country come to audit the accounts
for the ballots which will be handed
to voters III a few weeks tiasy will
find In them the sharp sdaftionai
price which the printer has had to
pay for paper. 1t will be 10 per cent.
at least over the prices which pre-
vailed two months ago, says the Chi
cago Tribune.
This, dealers say, is one OF the
probable effects OF the present bull
movement In the paper market. 1t
is the strongest upward move since
1885, and dealers are so confident that
the end is still far of that the large
houses have withdrawn their printed
quotations and sent word to their
customers that prices will be furnish
ed on application. Writing paper has
risen two cents pound, and the best
grades of book paper have gone up 20
per cent. The ordinary book paper
on which Australian ballotsa are print
ed has advanced 10 per cent. The
200 mills throughout the country
are said to be working at their utmost
capacity. Some OF them, it is said,
are discOuraging fresh orders.
All over the country the condi-
tions are the same. There is no cor
ner IN the market, but there is or was
a cholera scare which has cut off the
main supplies of rags from which
paper is made.
"Forty per cent. of the best quail.
tiles of paper is made from rags, and
the best rags used in the business
come from Germany, France, Russia
and Egypt. Many of the finer linen
rags are secured only from Europe.
When the rag supply was cut off the
mills were found with light stocks
on hand. The lack of rags and the
increased demands caused by the
campaign were two causes in bring
ing about the present advance. An
other Is found in the fact that bleach
ing powders have risen greatly.
These are made in England and
were discovered to be powerful dis
infectant, and tons have been sent to
Hamburg and the .cholera infected
points of Europe.
81 believe that not only the grades
which have risen will 60 much high

paper made will advance" said a
manufacturer who Withdrew his cir
cular lists some time ago. eve

SEEKING BURIED GOLD
A Fortune Buried Within Elev-
en- Miles of Nashville.
Two Cranks From Pittsburg Following a
Dream-They Think They Will
Resurrect s1s5,ooo.

Who, asks the Banner, will believe
that $lS5,0O0 in gold coin lies buried
in the soil of Davidson county?
Mr.. e. @. Beardsley, of Pittsburg,
and Mrs. l.. A. Cook, of New Or
leans, La, say SO, and they are spend
ing their moneyto prove it.
They came to Nashville on Sept.
9th and registered at the Bailey
House. Mr.. Beardsley claims to be
the State Geologist of Pennsylvania,
and Mrs. Cook says she knows all
about the present, past and future of
anybody. In the course of few
days it leaked out that she had had a
dream in which it was revealed that
slave trader years and years ago
had buried fortune in earthen jugs
eleven miles from Nashville, Tenn,
on the Nolensville turnpike. The
fortune was in gold, and it amounted
to $185,000. In another dream the
slave-trader had come 10 her in the
spirit and directed her to hurry.
On their arrival here, Mr.. Boards
ley and Mrs. Cook Immediately en-
gagged carriage and went out to the
place indicated in the dream. They
found that it was on Widows farm.
They went to her and told her the
story of their dream and promised her
one-third of the money when it was
found. She consented to let them
dig. They employed some negroes
to do the work and promised them
one-third. They would keep the
other third.
So the work began. This was a
month ago. Since then the location
of the digging has been moved sew
eral times, owing to the fact that the
dream did not reveal the exact spot,
and that the rabdomancy rod, ON
which Mr.. Beardsley depended,
found new places. This rabdomancy
rod is like witch hazel, except that
it is said to be able to locate gold in
stead of water On one occasion Mr..
Beardsley called Mr.. Price, of the
Bailey House, into his room, threw
$50 gold piece on the floor and hand
ed him the rabdomancy rod. Mr..
Price held the rod out and walked
over the gold without quiver man
ifestfng itself. But Mr.. Beardsley
said he was not medium, took the
rod and walked toward the gold.
The rod dipped down so strongly
that the holder could not move it.
For the past week Mr.. Beardsley
and Mrs. Cook have feared that some
one in the neighborhood, knowing
that they were nearing the coveted
treasure, would poison them, and in
consequence they have refused either
to eat or drink while away from the
hotel, although they have continued
to 60 out early every morning and
not return until dark. Yesterday,
however, Mrs. Cook became very
thirsty while watching the digging
and drank some water negro
brought her. She was sick when
she got back to the hotel and had to
be assisted to her room, where she
has remained to-day.
Mr.. Beardsley feels sure that only
a thin crust is now between him and
the gold, and confidently expects to
be rich man in few days.
