4 RAPPY FANNY.

Bishop Atticus G. Haygood tells BIT
tie story which points a'noral.
Tom Edwards lives in three miles of
Oxford. Years ago he was a careful,
thrifty citizen. He sold chickens, eggs,
butter and fruits in their season. His
start vas humb e. but he was dilisent
and patients also had foresight.
He has 20 acres Of land, most Of it light
grey land with some creek bottoms on it.
He raises some cotton-enough to buy
what he and his family mist nave that
he can t raise. Whatever peopleor stock
need to eat Tom Edwards raises it at
home. He has fruit trees well kept; a
beautiful vineyard of an acre or more
full of grapes; along ditch row OF fig
Ii ees, a long shelter for bees, good
barn. pretty herd Of Jerseys and grass t.
ken them fat, well stocked fish ponds,
from which he catches fish for the table.
Chickens thrive under his care. Sugar
and coffee he can't raise, else he would
do it,
How peaceful that home How free
from care they seem to be. Such men do
not want to 90 to Texas. Such men are
not scared out Of sleep by the stories OF
broken banks. They are an honor to the
state. They are its mainstay To Tom
Edwards, flee citizen, We raise out hat!

Albany Herald.

From the Albany Herald.
A farmer went into certain store the
other day and asked the proprietor if he
wanted to buy some fresh butter. The
merchant told him that he YOU'D ask
his wife if she negded any, 50 he stepped
to the telephone, called up his wife and
talked to her few conds through the
phone, then farming to the countryman,
who was standing with his hands in his
pockets, his eyes stretched and his face
very red. told him that his wife said
tha. she did not need any batter. The in
dignant countryman blurted out: Look
here, mister, if you didn't want any but,
ter why didn' you say so. | Amt such a
g j burned fool as to think that you've
got your wife shut up in that tile box. :"
And turning he started out, leaving the

what appeale ed to be the remains Of a
human skull rolled down and out at has
feet He did notstay to investigate, bu@,
leaving AK and tree, made a bee-ine for

he could be persuaded to return and ocate
the tree. The skull was found as he had
represented, also. one or two small parti-
eles of bone. and what appeared to have
once been sword, although no

orrartzetion of the Uouse.

J Speaker Crisp win he reelected
/ speaker of tne i5cusc without serious or
f position. Fe has the confidence OF tho
. Administration and VIII nave its support
He has had "a conference with the Prcsi-
dent recently, and. it is understood, viii
shape the committees so that there will!
be harmony between the executive and
legislative branches Of the government.
u seems to be agreed that Mr.. Springer
viii moi be the chairman of the ways and
means committee. He is a good man for
certain kinds Of work, but is hardly
suited for the task Of directing the fran
ing of a tariff bill that viii sltisfy the
country. That position needs man who
is capable of taking a broader view of the
tariff question, and who has a more com
preheusivC knowledge Of it. II is re-
garded as probable that Mr.. Will
lam L. Wilson, of West Virginia, will be
made chairman Of the ways and means
committee, but the position will not carry
w6h it the leadership Of the House Mr..
McAlillin, of Tennessee, will have that
place, it is believed, and he is well quail
fed for it.
The other principal committees viii
have chairmen and majorities in harmony
with Mr.. Cleveland's views. These are
the committees on appropriations, coinage,
civil service reform and pensions
No doubt some of the men who held con-
spicuous places in the last House are eX-
pecting just as good places in the present
one. They viii be provided for as far as
possible, but it is evident that there is
going to be a new deal If Judge Crisp is
elected without opposition he will be I'M
der no obligations to any one, and will be
free to do what his iudgmedt dictates in
making up the committees.
1t is very desirable that this congress
shall be a working one. The country ex-
poets a good deal from it, Financial leg
islation as well as tariff legislation is
needed. The uncertainty relative to the
currency and the tariff is working harm
to business, and it is important that the
people shall know as soon as possible the
basis upon which their business affairs
are to be conducted.

Come Now, Old codger. ;,

In the Life of Gen. Taylor" the following
anecdote is related. The general was little
careless in dress, and never wore complete
regulation suit except when imperative duty
compelled. He often had on some homespun
material and broad brimmed straw hat
One evening at Newnansville he was sitting
In the tavern of1ce with three brother officers
all veterans of the prairies and frontiers and
all roughly dressed On the arrival of the
eastern stage Sprlghtly young officer, fresh
from the military academy, fine in his dress
and little over-confident of manner ap-
peared upon the scene
He glanced Superciliously at the rustic
looking men who sat talking and smoking
information.
Well old man, how are the Indians now?"
L believe, sir they are giving considerable
trouble replied Col. Taylor
%, they are are they?'' remarked the officer
with assurance. We'll, Wen fix matters
soon, I'm an army officer and on nv wav to
take hand in the war. How are the cropsP'
Very fair, sir, 1 understand, where the
Indians can keep quiet"
And so on with pert questions from the
youthful oncer and very respectful answers
from Taylor, who sturdily kept up the i'm
puted character without betrayal. At last the
young man grew generous.
Come now, old codger, you and your neigh
bOrs take something-haVe a drink with me -
The officers rose and solemnly pledged the
bold young warrior.
A few days later at Fort Drane the Young
ot1cer was mortified and astonshed on the
hrst inspection OF his company by the senior
officer, to see in the full uniform of a colonel
coming straight toward him the old farmer of
the tavern. Col. Taylor smiled when near
and said, refectively:
Come, now, old codger."
The abashed young man asked some expert
enced officers what he should do. They laugh
ingly said:
%, with Col. Taylor simply nothing"
AFTER a day or 50 the colonel called up the
young officer, and when he attemptedan apol-
ogy for his rudeness said:
My young friend, you have had good les
SON. Let me give you piece of advice that
think may be of immense advantage to you.
Never Judge stranger by his clothes"
That was the end of the affair. Col. TAYLOR
never again alluded to it.
