NOrtOns Notes.

The moist atmosphere Sunday
did not dampen the ardor of the
committee who are preparing for
the open air services next Sunday
near the Hamar place, now owned
by N. F. Edwards. The two
Sunday schools will combine for
the lesson at 1890 a. m. The
Nashville Sunday school will then
render musical and literary pro-
gram. After basket dinner, free
to all, the Nortons Sunday school
will furnish their program toward
celebrating Children's Day. All
are invited to come and spend the
day with blossoms, and the children,
who are the buds of promise of the
generation that shall rule when we
rest under the daisies.
Mr.. Harrington passed through
Nortons with a good team this
week, with which he intends to
haul goods from the station here to
a store which he will stock at Sun
shine.
Miss Sarah Wright, from Sun
shine, came to Nortons Saturday.
The Hamar girls from Steer

with band of cattle this week.

An Anecdote of Jenny Lind.

talking perhaps. singing perhaps, some.
times even busy with her needle and

how one day, on the morning of a per-

Otto Goldsmith and myself were in the
room, and through the morning Jenny
Lind and my husband were never still,
pacing one past the other. with music
in hand, singing and practicing.
"'Why, Jenny, said Mr.. Goldsmith,
you must have sung those songs many
times; surely there is no need for ali

Jenny in her quiet, decisive manner,

under his rough exterior. Alec went in
to the dining room, where the family
were at breakfast, and, seeing vacant
place beside tall, rather good looking
girl, he asked if he might take it. She
looked up at him with laughing eyes,
for she had evidently overheard her IA
TIERS remarks, which had been quite
loud enough, and promptly assented,
getting up herself to wait on him.
As he ate his breakfast and felt the
physical man satisfied, hope mounted
higher and higher, something of his Old
confident bearing returned to him, and
unconsciously he showed in his bearing
the education and breeding Of q gentle
man.
When he returned to the store, the
proprietor was possibly little less
warm, and showed small enthusiasm
when Alec inquired particularly about
the places where he might find work.
Mr.. Higgins bluntly told him he might
go TO Dan Piper or Frank Davis or Joe
Fyles. though he, tie proprietor. did
not know that they wanted anybody-in

all the help they needed. But the young

wna6 ne was CONG ana Into what Ii
would lead him.
He had come away from home be-
cause his father was angry with him.
His father had said he was lazy. Ho
and his father had had angry words,
and his father had told him that if that
was the way he intended to conduct
himself he needn't come to his father
for funds. All that he called MP wildly
in his mind this morning. He had come
to the country in search of his fortune,
and he had not found the search alto
gether agreeable. Still, he would die
rather than write to his father for
money, and now there vas coming to be
something about this life that fasciuat-
ed him.
Alec had often heard how his father,
Alexander, ST., had gene 10 the city q
poor boy, with only dollar in his peck
ct and no immediate prospect Of more,
how he had worked and starved and
finally succeeded and grown rich. Now
brilliant idea came TO him. Why
should not he. Alexander, Jr. a poor
city bog, come to tie country, with only
So i'll his pocket, and make his fortune:
Fortune is curious thing. You never
know where it will turn up, and often
it fails under the most propitious cir
cumstances.
As he dressed about o'clock he made
mp his mind just what ne would DO.
He would get good breakfast, of which
he felt the need, fer his supper had been
only bread ard cheese, and his dinner
little more. Then he would speak to
the bluff proprietor, who seemed to like
him, and find out what men about town
were likely to need help in haying. He
must get work at once. That was his
plan. Before he could do anything else
he must have his living secured, and
must be in way to accumulate a small
amount of ready capital.

when Alec came into the store as soor
as his toilet had been completed, "did
