A good joke is told ON a young gentle
man from the 'rhubarbs'' who keeps
company with young lady in this city.
The couple had been TO the southern
part of the city Saturday to call on the
young lady's mother, and in returning
attempted to make a short cut for the
young lady's abode. The night was
very dark and cloudy, the electric lights
| were not burning, and before they had
proceeded very far they found them
| selves in the midst of a garden The
| lady of the house, who was sitting IN
| the doorway, saw somebody in the gar
| den, and as her husband was absent
at the time. she probably had the sub
| ject Of thieves uppermost in her mind.
| At any rate, she screamed, fell back and
rolled over into the house and slammed
| the door shut unceremoniously. The
young people took hasty departure
and will never-no never-attempt that
route again. VIII they please answer
why they violated the invariable rule
and attempted a short route home?-No-

| AIuIcNSs VINO uNeS a rev
| miles southwest Of the city, went to
| FIT. Wayne Wednesday and sold his
| clover seed, receiving the money for ii
and came home rejoicing. When he re-
| tired that night he put the treasure
| under his pillow and soon fell asleep.
| About 3 o'clock in the morning he woke
| UP and became conscious that there
| were burglars in the house. But he did
! not seem inclined to tackle Mr.. Burglar
alone. so instead of springing out Of bed
/ and going after the knight of the road,
| he awoke his wife and began talking TO
| her about going to one of the neighbors
/ in order to come with them to the city
/ in such a way as to be heard by the
! concealed burglar. After talking the
| matter over thoroughly for the benefit Of
| the visitor, they got up, dressed and
| started for the neighbours in great haste
| for reinforcements. Meanwhile the
| burglar searched the house and took his
| departure in peace. Bravo, Marion!
| You take the cake for capturing the
| burglar.-Decatur Journal.
The woman who neither loves gossip
| nor talks il is rare in Richmond-or any
| where else. There is one here however,
| who is innocent Of this habit. and the
| highest compliment that could be paid
| her was spoken by an acquaintance the
other day. This acquaintance was tell
| ing several other ladies Of a scandal
/ which was attracting attention in society
| not long ago, and incidentally mentioned
| the first name of the woman who never
| takes part in these conversations. A
| new conner who had just happened in
| overheard the name called and instantly
| rushed up to ask the speaker If she really
| meant that Mrs. Blank had told her
! such a piece of scandal. Mrs. Blank
| indeed" was the scornful retort. mo,
/ madame, you might have known II was
/ not she, for she is silent to stupidity"
| The remark was not intended as a COM
| pliment by any means, but the woman
/ of whom it was said is proud of 1t, and
| considers 1t as the highest tribute that
| could have been paid to her as scorner
| of gossip.-Richmond Item.
The Rev. R. S. Inglis stated to his con-
| gregation at the First presbyterian
! church yesterday morning that he had
| little something to say. Then he said
| He said he had called upon Secretary
| Morgan of the fair association and asked
| that the gates to the grounds be barred
| to the public on Sunday. Mr.. Morgan
| had refused, giving various reasons. Mr..
| IngliS desired his congregation to know
| that at least one Christian gentleman
| In Charlottesville would not attend the
| fair at all. and declared that gentleman
| to be himself. He said that he had come
| from town that had great deal big
| ger fair than Charlottesville and that the
| directors didn't allow the gates to be
| open there. Mr.. Inglis did not believe
Mr.. Morgan was wholly to blame but he
| thought some one was. He urged his
congregation not to visit the grounds
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Inglis may be
right in some things, but Wen bet dol
| lars to doughnuts that the fair in his
| little old town doesn't begin to stack up
/ along side of the Charlottesville fair
| the only fair on earth except the worlds

A man living east OF town came to
| Marion last Saturday about noon with
| wagon-load of potatoes. His two
sons of perhaps seven and ten years Of
age were with him. He sold his pota-
toes from house to house, and by dark
| had succeeded in disposing of nearly all
| of them. Instead of returning home he
| hftched his team to the rack about the
| court house. and, telling the boys he
| would be back soon. hied himself to
neighboring saloon, where he spent the
entire evening in company with several
! boon companions, drinking and playing
pool The boys left alone in the wagon,
| grew very tired and lonesome, and about
| 9 o'clock the youngest, sitting on the re-
mainder Of the potatoes, was heard cry
ing softly. His older brother tried to
comfort him. but met with poor success.
and soon the two Of them were crying.
They went to sleep. There they lay
! huddled up in blankets that had been
used to cover the potatoes until their
| father came. about 1890. He asked
them if they were sleepy, cold or hungry,
| but they said no, and without further
/ ado he unhitched his horses and drove
| homeward.--Mar Chronicle.
