THEY SAW THE GHOST

Nearly every city, town or village in
our country that is old enough to have
history has its haunted house and its
story of ghostly visitants and eerie, I'M
canny sounds and sights connected with
some particular locality.
To this rule Florence, Ala, many Of
whose older residences and families date
back to the days of Andrew Jackson,
forms no exception. Around several Of
the ivy clad mansions of the old town
hang mysteries which make them objects
of interest to the educated whites and of
terror to the ignorant and superstitious
negroes.
Humanity in every age has been eager
90 listen to the marvellous and to swal-
low the incredible upon very slight guar
antee. However, it is upon no such slen-
der testimony that our story rests.
Early in the history of the town among
the first attracted to the locality by the
picturesque beauty of its location above
the swift flowing Tennessee was North
Carohnian named Richard Hunter.
Wealth in those days was counted in
the south by the acreage of plantations
and by the number of slaves, male and
female. OF the former Richard Hunter
possessed enough for barony and of the
latter a small regiment.
Around the great square brick house,
with its massive pillars and wide spread
ing porches, could be seen bright and
happy black faces by the score. The
cotton fields resounded to the hoeing
songs of well conditioned and swarthy
feldhands, while in the quarters" not
FAR OFF pickaninnies and dogs abounded
Richard Hunter had but one child, the
sole heiress of his acres and his wealth
and she had just budded under the warn
chances of a southern sun into woman
hood, fresh and blooming as wild rose
Alice Hunter was in that period o
life where the present is so bright tina
its glow reaches out and dominates tn
future. Wealth, doting parents, gratifi
I" cation of every wish were hers; but abov
all she had won the love of the man o
her choice and was happiestin the knowl
edge that Philip Marstons dearest hop
and highest aspiration conferred in herself
Phil Marston, as he was known t
every one, or "Marse Phil, >" as the negroe
called him, was young, handsome, FIRE
handed, free hearted, gallant and all tina
went to make him an ideal lover.
In spite of strong rivalry he had wo
his ladylove, and the day was set fc
their marriage. Alice was only II. an
so the wedding day was postponed unit
the following year.
Suddenly in 1886 the Cherokee wa
broke ont. Philip Marston raised a con
pany Of riAemen from among the heart
yeomanry Of the section and joined II

General Coffee.

LIFE is ESSENTIAL.

Iquestioned ny soul as stood by the dead.
Ny SOUL in its anguish, made answer and said;
"No power can destroy and no fiat create,
For death is transition and life is a state.
Each atom OF form and each atom of force
Exs.5 as part OF their infinite source,
And whether in motion, or whether at rest,
Must live by a law that is never transgressed."
This, then, is the marvellous secret OF death
To live without life, and to breathe without
breath.
