Deferred from Last week)
DEAR RoBEsoNIAN: Early in the
spring of this year an account was
published in your columns of high
water in our rivers in which sever
al large steamboats, were, wrecked
and some lives lost. This il not
the case now. Dry weather pre-
walls over this entire section. The
water supply is insufficient and
many of our people are hauling
water from the rivers for their
stock. We are located in beau
tiful belt of long-leaf pines show
ing fine health record, but 1t
this time the dry, warm weather
favoring the terrible epidemic,
yellow fever, has caused universal
excitement. We are about sir
miles from the Alabama Midland
railroad leading from Montgom-
ery, where at this time the excite.e
ment is intense. Thousands Of
the inhabitants of the city have
fed and taken refuge anywhere
they were allowed to stop. Sever
al new cases are reported. The
small towns along the railroad are
making strong quarantine restric-.
tions against Montgomery. No
persons, baggage or freight are al
lowed to stop at some points. A
prominent citizen of that place, {
interviewed on the train few days
ago, said the city was almost de-
serted, not more than three thous-
and being left. The situation il
grave.
Dothan, a town twenty-five miles
from this place, has drawn the
quarantine lines strictly. Tho
mayor had all trains prevented
from stopping there, and officers
with yellow badges were stationed
at al entries to the town with in.
structions TO keep ont anything
suspicious. Several drummers
who were in town loft immediats-
jly, some taking it good-naturedly
and others thinking il hard.
Some of tho citizens were in Mont.
gomery at tho time. and have not
been allowed to return home yet.
| Gordon, our nearest town, real
izing the danger, has quarantinsd
against the infected points. Ua-
less an early frost visits these parts
most of the towns are in danger.
!. The farmers. generally, are
through gathering all early drops
and are now making ready for
lgrinding and boiling syrup. The
cane crop is very good. II would
seem strange to = school boy in
Robson county to be here and 200
some of the cane raisers out with
. cart load of cane stalks selling
them-one large stalk, or two
small ones, for Ave cents.
The acorn crop is largo this sea-
son and even now large numbs1n
of wild turkeys are seen.
:. Yours truly,
JOHN P. McNEILL.

THE MAID / LOVE.

The maid love has violet eyes,
And rose-leaf lips of red,
She wears the moonshine round her neck
The sunshine round her head
And she is rich in every grace,
And poor in every guile,
And crowned kings might envy me
The splendor of her sariie. '
She walks the earth with such grace
The lilies turn to look,
And waves rise up to catch glance,
And stir the quiet brook;
Nor ever will they rest again,
But chatter as they flow,
And babble of her crimson lips
And of her breast of snow.
And cen the leaves upon the trees
Are whispering tales of her,
And tattle till they grow SO warm
That. in the general stir,
They twist them from the mother-branch
And through the air they fly,
Till, fainting with the love they feel,
They futter down and die,
And what is stranger still than all
The wonders of her grace,
Her minds the only thing to match
The glories of her face.
Oh, she is Natures paragon
All innocent of art,
And she has promised me her hand,
And given me her heart.
Aud when the spring again shall flush
Our glorious southern bowers,
My love will wear bridal veil,
A wreath of orange flowers;
And so care not if the sun
Should founder in the sea,
For, oh, the heaven of her love
Is light enough for me.

Deafness Cannot be cursd
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There 10
only one way to cure deafness, and that
Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
Is caused by an infiamed condition Of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inhamed You have q
rumbhng sound or imperfect hearing.
and when it Is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inhamed condition of the mucous

CHAPTER III.

Miss Wynn, indeed, was too
practical, to take alarm. Lee was
an exceptionally refined and sem
sitive woman, and the most un-
likely to become q partner in any
coarse trickery. 81 have wronged
Stephens future wife" she said to
herself, "even in listening to such
an accusation"
Nevertheless, a strange change
in Lees manner and countenance,
shocked and startled her. Lee was
more eagerly affectionate than ev-
er before; but she was pre-occu-
pied; and scarcely paid any heed,
even when Ellen delivered mes
sages from her brother. The girl,
too, had grown thin; her skin was
dry and hot; her dark-blue eyes
restless and frey.
Magnetism, indeedl It looks
more like malarial fever" thought
Ellen, as she watched Lee, during
the long supper.
Professor Sarth, as it happened,
was seated opposite to her; pale
colored, little man, with yellow
hair, bristling brows and NOUS
tache, and large round eyeglasses.
He ate but little, and appeared to
shrink from observation. In the
whole chattering, gay circle, he
and Lee were the only silent mem.
| bers. "A mere book-worm, and
half fed ut that" decided Ellen,
after one or two keen glances
GAS little of wizard, as mar
could be! Cousin Betty's romance
always did run away with hel
wits"
After supper was over, Colone
Page went to his study, while th'
young people fiocked to the grea

assembling in the evening. 1t wa

The stateliness and impressiy

been, in fact, the living-room

Deferred from Last Weekly
The RoBEsoNIAN, for many years
regarded as one of the best weekly
newspapers in North Carolina,
visits number of homes in this
community. Its many friends are
pleased to know that the high
standard Of excellence attained to
in the past has been kept up.
They are also pleased to know that
the editor is pronounced in his
political opinions. With great
county like Robson behind it,
and the price of the paper reduced
to 81. so, there is no good reason
why its subscription list should
not be largely increased, and it's
influence and usefulness greatly
fextended.

along the garden path. At the
gate stood the buggy.
The girl stopped, muttering
something about her mother.
Come" said Sarth, holding
out his hand, shaking with exotic
ment, but not touching her.
She followed him
Suddenly. there was a quick,
firm step, behind.
"Ah, Lee;" said Ellen Wynn.
II have found you at lastl Just
in time for quiet chat. Profess
Isor Sarth will exeuss, T am sure,
especially - have good news to
tell you. Your fsther telegraphed,
yesterday, to San Francisco, to
know if anything could be discov-
cred of Fred. He was impatient
to have news of him, before the
Wedding. He has just received a
reply
"Well?" gasped Sarth, with a
hoarse laugh. What of Mr..
Fred?"
Lee did not speak.
"He arrived from Honolulu, .
fortnight ago, in good health and
spirits. He has been in Japan for
a year. He started for home at
once. He is due here tvmo1zew.
Your father is-"
But Lee, with psllid face, and
blazing eyes, had turned on Sarth,
like one of the Erinyes.
"And you-?" she cried.
But the man was already gone.
Nor was he ever seen again by one
of the Page family.
Fred Page did arrive the next
day, sturdy, manly, bearded fel.
low, who, if he had not made hif
fortune, had sowed his harmless
wild oats, and was quite ready te
settle down.
T Sarth, he recognized by descrip'
tion, AZ disreputable, clever fel
low, whom he had made his part
nsr and confidant in the mines
and who had used the knowledg,
of his family, 50 gained, to cheat
Ipoor, credulous Lee out of her jew
els, by clumsily invented story
and to force her nearly into mar
riage.
j The Wedding was one of the gay
est, and most brilliant, which wa
ever known in the great Page clan
From the dressing of the bride, t

len Wynn was the manager, tn

Lee hung upon her neck, fondly
at parting.
Il "You do not know from wha
, you saved me" she whispered.
But there was queer twinkl
in Ellen's eye, which seemed t
say that she did know.

Old Uncle Claybrook is a very
religious darkey, and holds con-
verse with his Maker twenty times
a day or oftener. His habit is to
pray, and then turn off into what
appears to be one sided conversa-
ton with the Lord, but it is evi-
dent that there is another party
to it as far as he is concerned.
To hear him reminds one very
much Of telephone conversation.
The other day he was going
