VIII Wait on Congress.
Cleveland Will Not Now Issue More
Bonds.

Bonds.
Washington, Dec. 23.-It can be
stated on authority that the rumor
which has gained currency to the
effect that the President had decided
to announce another bond issue at
once, and that this conclusion had
been reached at Cabinet meeting
yesterday, is without any foundation
in fact. The only members Of the
Cabinet who saw the President yes
terday were Secretary Lamont, who
had lust returned to the city and
called to pay his respects, and later
in the day Secretary Olney and Sec
retary Carlisle. The general situa-
ton was discussed informally, but
the question Of an immediate issue
of bonds was not considered. In-
deed, 1t is stated that ID view OF tne
Presidents very recent message to
Congress asking the Legislation which
might render another issue unneces-
sary, it would be scant courtesy to
that body to anticipate lis negative
action before an opportunity b d
been given it to comply with the
Presidents recommendation. The
President Unexpectedly stated, how
ever, that he would protect the pub
lie credit 1T whatever cost should the
necessities of the situation require
heroic action, but at the presert
moment, it is argued, such necessi-
ties have not arisen.

Bread River Dots.
! The Dispatch:

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Please allow me space in your val
liable paper to give some dots from
Broad river, as I have never read
any from this community.
The river is low at present. There
is plenty of game, such as ducks and
geese. Farmers have plenty Of time
to hunt them, but seem to Kill but
few.
Christmas near at hand now, boys,
buy up shot and powder for the fun.
Rev. G. Blackburn, D. D., and
LAWYER John Hall were the guest
of Mr.. E. A. Bouknight last week.
They spent most of their time hunt
ing and had very pleasant time l
learn. They are both from Colum-
bia and you all know how those boys
like to hunt in the country.
I learn that Miss Mary Bouknlght
will leave soon to visit relatives and
friends near Pomaria.
I want TO tell of some Of the fun
and pleasure some Of our young folks
had not long ago. On the second
Sunday in December Rev. S. c. Bal
lentine joined in holy wedlock Mr.
Davis Weed and Miss Neomia L.
Faux. and was witnessed by Miss
Mary Bouknight end Mr. J. L. Lever,
They entered the room first next
came Miss Josie Ellison and Mir.
James Metze, then followed Mr.. Weed
with his future bride. Tie bride
was attired in lovely lilac satin,
trimmed with silk and other Innings.
After the kissings and congratula-
tons were over, the wedding guests
drove off for White Rock; but the
church was too full, and they drove
on bv and went back home and helped
themselves to o dinner that you read
about. On their way to White Rock
one of the couple of walters had a
little bad luck, but they have only
themselves to blame, for had they
not been so interested in their con-
versation they would have seen those
two hickory sapplings at the turn OF
the road. The next thing they
heard was click, click, back, waw.
Some Of the boys rode back to see
what was the matter. OF couse you
know he smoothed over the affair as
nicely as he could, and said, ''noth-
ing much" and all the time he was
on the ground fixing his harness and
his girl sitting up there in the buggy
with woe begone look and the faint
est suspicion of blush suffusing her
fair cheeks. The harness was soon
mcnled and the happy party pro
ceeded on their way.
After dinner they went ont buggy
riding, and that same fellow, after
swapping off his girl with another
fellow, for his sister, who was cured
of the headache by the swap, met
with another misfortune. As he was
driving through gate be drove up
o. another fellows cart and pulled
off one of the taps. Oh, my! the
fun they had. They returned that
evening, and he ate his supper and
went home, he said on some special
business, but I think lie thought Of
that teasing he would have gotten
the next morning and so left to
avoid it. As they returned to the
home of the groom they saw signs
along the road Of where he lost his
whip, hit the gate and made trail
like a threasher's wheel. We hear
he has the fever now. We sympa-
thize with him very much and will
welcome him again.
Mr.. Werts is teaching a flourish
ing school at the Falk school house.
Mr.. Werts is liked as a splendid
teacher so far.

4 Life Saved.

jamestown, Tenn, October Is, 1891.
My daughter tried physicians and
nearly all remedies for Female irreg
ularities, but received no relief or
benefit whatever. We had nearly
despaired Of her recovery when we
were induced by our postmaster,
Mr.. A. A. Gooding, to try Gerstle's
Female Paracea. and after using four
bottles she was entirely cured, for
which I feel it my duty to let it be
known to the world and suffering
humanity, for I believe she owes her
life to the Panacea.
