Those Lmy-white Hands.

1t is blessed good thing, I reckon,
that it takes heap of various and sun
dry different sorts of people to make up
the world. AS for me, love these good,
plain American people around Rocky
Creek. They are always honest enough
and brave enough to be natural and
true. They are my fellow-citizens. my
neighbors and my friends. We have all
come down together from the aristoc-
racy of honest hearts and hard
knuckles- But now in regards to their
business-they must tend to that for
themselves. 1 haven't got the turn nor
the time to look after it for them. Life
Is too short and time is too sl1eerce, and

my time to keep up the corners and
make the edges cut at home. And / have
to stay out late and git up soon in

A Young Lady Burned to Death.

Miss Maggie Scott, one of the super
numeraries attachel to the corps OF
teachers of the public schools in Chat
tanoUga; was burned last week in such
a terrible manner that death ensued in
few hours. fhe unfortHnate voting
lady, while attending to some domestic
duties, lighted match in a small, dark
closet from which she wished to re-
move certain articles, and by some un-
lRcky chance dropped it among some
clothing, and in an instant her dress
and other garments were in mass of
flames. Her screams brought immedi=
ate assistance, but before the flames
could be extinguisned she was burned
from her neck to her feet in most hor-
rible manner. Her mother, who went
to her aid, managed to envelope her
daughters head in rug, thus saving
her face from more than slight injury.
Physicians were soon in attendance,
and every thing possible was done to res
lieve the sufferer, but they had no hope
of saving her life. Miss Scott was
about 20 years of age.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Nov. a:-James Cor
bett and his party arrived in Memphis
this morning. Corbett, after giving an
exhibition here, will go on to New
York
II will pay no more attention to
Fitzsimmons," said COrbett. Il feel
convitcsd now that he never intended
to meet me. 1 would have fought him
for nothing"
In proof of what he stated relative
to Fitzsimmons not Wanting to fight,
Corbett exhibited a copy of letter
from Supt. Rose of the Iron Mountain
railroad to the general passenger
agent, Ii. c. Townsend, In which Mr..
Rose states that he would have gotten
Fitzsimmons through TO Hot Springs
without trouble, but fof Fitzsimmons
himself.
''Fitzsimmons acted as If he did not
want to fight" is a sentence in the let
ter.
Corbett said further: "I am think
ing seriously of quitting the ring. I'll
make up my mind fully on my arrival
in New York. There is nothing In the
business any more, as in nearly all of
the states it is a felony, and I don't
want to be classed as a common Grim
inal. Still l believe that non-inter-
ference with prize-fighting would
make men trust to natures weapons,
and eventually do away with shooting
and cuttiuQ".

Tho Inst Pull at Poke.

Old man Poke Nettleton, which he
was the husband of Aunt Pliny, you
understand, was likewise also one OF
them ''pecurious children" He was a
right tolerable good man in the COM
mon way, but tough enough for wedge
wood, and green-by gracious he was
80 green till you could rake it off with
q shuck. And then old man Poke was
terrible hard drinker till he went
down under the water. You see, Aunt
Pliny is Baptist from High Log all
the way, whilst old man Poke called
himself a debt-payin dram-drinkin
Methodist.
"As to me, was borned and brung
up in Baptist family, Rufus" said
Aunt Pliny to me one Saturday evenin
when old man Poke had went home as
mellow as Maypop. II was fed and
raised on Baptist milk, and Baptist po-
tatoes, and Baptist bread and Baptist
bacon, and, thank goodness I'm a Bap-
tist all the way, And if it ever comes
to pass that / can put Poke into notion
to jine the Baptist Church and go down
under the water he will be new and
different man. He is member of the
Methodist Church now, and he has been
sprinklod, but it will take somethin
more than little sprinkle to wash
away the sins of Poke Nettleton. That
mought maybe sorter do for women and
children, but if Poke don't go down
heels and head under the water he is a
lost and ruint man"
Well, naturally of course in the run
of time Aunt Pliny-woman like
brought old man Poke around to her
way of thinkln, and the very next Sun
day he went over with her into the
Baptist Church. And then on the fol-
lowing Tuesday they had baptizin at
the big ford over on Murder Creek, and
old man Poke went down under the
water. 1t so come to pass that / met
the crowd along the road on their re-
turn back from the creek, and soon as
Aunt Pliny saw me she opened up. and
let in:
''He is a clean man now, Rufus
thank the Lord Poke Nettleton is a
clean man. He has went down under
White as snow, Rufus, white as snow.
You can tell the sheriff and the police
they havO put their hands on Poke Not
tlntOn for the last time. No more
cussin and no more comm up drunk at
our house. He is on the rock now,
Rufus-sate ON the rock which fadeth
not away"
To be certainly l was in hopes that
Aunt Pliny was right, but l had some
serious doubts in the case. l didn't dis
pute her word in regards to old man
Poke bein safe on the rock and white as
snow, though l didn't know how long
he would stay clean and keep his feet
under him. But from that Tuesday
evenin, when he went down under the
waters of Murder Creek, to his dyin
day the old man never cussed an oath
nor took drop of sperits. l don't know
for certain whether it was the water or
Aunt Pliny or the good Lord-or all
three put together-but at any rates,
when tho last final shower come, and
old man Poke Nettleton had to take out
and go in he was ''safe on the rock and
white as snow" RUFUS SANDERS.
