Next, cut from u shingle, if you can't
get good slice of Australian waffle

four inches long, of the shape shown in

ready, the young black follow asks his
mother to make for him cord out of

If your mother doesn't find it conven-
lent to do this, probably bit OF stout
fishing-line will answer the purpose.
Tie your three-cornered piece of shingle
10 one end of the cord, and then tie the
other end of the cord around groove
in the top of the handle so that it will
turn freely, and so that the lash will be
about rs long as the stock of this whip.
Now your perboregan is made, and you
are ready to begin having fun with it,
Get off by yourself-in the middle of

and swing the thing around your head
as hard as ever you can. Then stop it
suddenly with peculiar twist or jerk,
and it will crack like horse pistol.
They say it can be heard two miles on

to prove this, if you can, by going about
that distance from other folks when

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
ALAS.


Where did II come from-nll the grace
or the merry smile which made its place
With shine end CLEAN,
Like bright sunbeam.
On Dorothy Mabel's dear little faceY
The eyes of blue
They were in II, too,
For they had been dancing all the while.
The dimples had spread.
And the lips so red
All made up that beautiful smile.
Where did It go to? Ah-well! well!
What a sorrowful tale to tell!
The beauty and grace
or the sweet, sweet face
All gone out with the cloud which fell
Ger the shining eyes
What a sad surprised
Lowering. gloomy as darkest skies.
The dimples fled,
And the lips 80 red
Pouted and curled, with the corners down.
Alas, to see
That a smile could be
Chased away by an ugly frown!

"Yes, powerful"
No more is said until Joe fills and
lights his pipe and takes n seat on q

eyes on his feet, quietly asks:

In return he patted the animals head
in half kind way. 1t was five
minutes before anyone spoke again.
The wife had grown pale-faced, and
her fingers tremblcd as she piled the
needles. There was something like
anxiety in her tones as she said:
~ wish Jim wouldn't do it. don't
like this killin,."
"Hev to kill" replied Joe, as he took
the dogs ear in his hand.
"Yes, hev to kill" added the husband,
as he arose and yawned and stretched
his limbs.
Joe held the rifle out to him, and he
took it and hefted it and examined its
several parts and nodded his head with
satisfaction.
"Yo' kin drap him at 40 rods" said
Joe, as he pushed the dog away.
"From 35 to 49," answered Jim, as he
brought the weapon up and sighted
along the barrel.
"Got to make suah work."
"Yes, suah work. Come fur it to-
morrer."
Reckon will. Day to yo' ALL"
When the caller had gone his way
the husband sat down and freshly
filed his pipe and made another exam
ination of the rifle. A long silence was
broken by the wife's query:

''Same as befo'."

"Yes. He wants damages, and

he had exhausted his pipe he knocked
the ashes out and rose up and entered
the cabin. There was whisky in the
cupboard and he helped himself to a
drink. When he reappeared at the door
he stood for moment looking about,
and the half-asleep dogs reused up and
came gamboling about his feet.
"Gwine now?" queried the wife.
"Yes, gwine now"
He kicked the dogs aside and went Off
up the trail. The woman sat with her
eyes on her work, and he cast no back
ward glance. The dogs followed for a
few rods and then gave it up and re-
turned to their dusty beds. Two miles
up the trail was Taylor's cabin. 1t was
the same sort of hovej-same poor
acres grown up to weeds-same poverty
of pocket and intellect. A woman sat
smoking on the doorstep, but she was
alone. Her husband had gone down
the trail with his rifle on his shoulder.
"Gwine to kill Jim Green?' she
asked, rs he was ready to go.
Reckon So" he replied, as he moved
away.
Two cabins-two wives on the door
steps--two men with rifles on the trail
between. At that height above the sea
sound travels long distance. Both
women heard the crack of n rifle by and
by, but both smoked on. After an hour
or two Taylor returned home. When
he had lighted his pipe and taken seat
beside her the wife asked:
leave him down thar'?"
SIZES, left him down thar" was the
reply.
Two or three hours later man
stopped before the other cabin and said
to the woman smoking her pipe on the
doorstep:
"Jim's bin popped"
"Up thar'?" she asked, pointing up
the trail.
"Yes, up thar"
"Lyin' dead?"
"Yes, lynn dead. Good eavenin'."

tralia ever since do not know how long
ago. And very likely those who love
peace and quiet have often been saying:
"Boora gaboora-boora corroboree!"
which Jack is informed means: "Stop
that racket" or something of the sort.
Now look at this picture, and do as the
young Australian does when he takes it
into his woolly head to make a

After the ceremony, they repaired to
the residence Of Mr.. G. P. Vaughan,
where an elegant dinner was served
from to 6 p. m. The BULLETIN
extends congratulations.
The old and reliable firm of
B. Lowenstein & Bros through
the columns of the BULLETIN solic-
its the patronage of the people in
this county. The reputation of this
firm for fair dealing is so we'll es-
tablished that thousands of dollars
worth of goods are purchased by
people who order by sample. All
orders for samples will receive
prompt attention. When in Mem
phis, call and examine their mann
moth stock.
The increase in the population
of our town within the last few
years is both gratifying and en-
couraging. Instead of vacant
dwellings, as was the case few
years ago, the demand is now great
er than the supply. The BULLETIN
believes that the principal cause of
the increase in population is the
splendid schools that our town can
now boast of. Let US hope that in
the near future new houses will be
seen springing up in different parts
of Hardeman's capital.
The "Babies' Reception" is a
thing of the past. The Operahouse

five babies were enrolled. For the
time being, every thing gave way
to the infantile tyrants, who had a
most royal time. Adolphus Kahn
was the winner OF the silver spoon,
receiving the highest number of
votes. The next to the highest
number Of votes was received by
Mary Durrett. The second prize
was won by Edith and Edwin Pat
rick. The gross receipts from the
sale of refreshments, ETC., amounted
to $50. 80.
