will remember. Rod Hay6eld-which
In the main time he mad married Dolly
ualloway-to<x I sick and died al Of q
student like. And right now the all
everest most hsndsomest young wom-
an in al This strip Of country is the
Widder Dolly Mayfield. TIn't no use
in talkin. Rute-when she puts on her
Sunday higgins and fancy Gxments she
is jest simply pluperfectly and supinely
beautiful to behold.
"In these long. hot summer days 1t

Buck Collins. Babe Peterson and old
Squire Leatherwood have all three fell
heels over appetite in love with Dolly.
the widder, and-well-my time has
come. You needn't to feel any earth
ly doubts about that. Rufe. This is
my time Of year to win out even. and,
by gatlins. what I am savin up for the
three gentlemen from fuckers Mill
will be q most hellatious plenty. Old
Squire Lea:herwcod has buried two
wives and raised nine children. but
from what they tell me he is worse gone
on Dolly Mayfield than Buck Collins
or Babe Peterson. and they have got it
mighty bad. The way town hog loves
slops is nothin. Rufe, to the way them
three native-born idiots love the ground
which Dolly Mayfield wulks upon-and
well. dadblame 'em. my time has
come"
The Three Love Letters.
In the next place Blew then showed
me the three love letters which he had
wrft-all in little, scrawuy, ,crumpled
up female handwritin. The one to
Squire Leatherwood went like this:
My Duckydaddde Dear-Buck Collins
and Babe Peterson have both been
lallygaggin around here two or three
days. tryin their loveliest to get my
company to meetin Sunday night. But
they are so young and fresh, and salt
is skeerce at my house. II you will
be % kind, condescendin and obligin
as to meet me down at the Spring
branch crossin late Sunday evenin /
will go with you. Come at first dusk
sharp.
Yours ferventIy.
DOLLY MAYFIELD.
p. S.-Remember what the book says
about the still pig ard the milk.
DOLLY.
The letter to Buck Collins run along
as follows below:
Dear Buck: Old Squire Leatherwood
ard Babe Peterson have all but pes
tered the life outen me for the last
three days. Both Of them want to go
with me 10 church Sunday night
which of course you know full well
who I would ruther 60 with than any
mortal man in the round discovered
world. Meet me down at the spring
branch crossin Sunday evenin at first
dusk sharp. and will let you go with
me.
Yours serenely,
DOLLY MAYFIELD.
r. s.-"Roses red. violets blue.
EuGar Is sweet. and 30 are you.
DOLLY.
The one to Babe Peterson was . tear
starter and q heart smasher:
My Ownlyiest Own: You don't know
how bad your Dolly wants to see her
Baby. Buck Collins and old Squire
Lcatherwood between the two have
been such botherment to me this,
week till life amt scarcely worth the
livin. Buck wants me to 60 to meet
in with him Sunday night, and the old
squire wants me to give him the pleas
ure Of my companye But want to go

Thestrslght Good Democracy,

Virginia is the only southern state to
hold an election of any Importance this
year. and the campaign in the old Do
minion has not yet opened. so that the
attitude of the Sound Money Democrats
has not been made plain. From the tone
of the press In other parts OF the south,
however, 1t Is evident that there can be
no general union OF former Democrats
in the congressional elections OF next
year II Organism shall remain In con-
troll Of the organization. In Alabama,
for example, the Montgomery Advertis-
er. the ablest Democratic newspaper In
the state, which bolted Bryan and
supported the Indianapolis ticket last
year. takes occasion to announce that
there Is no sort OF repentance on the
part of the Advertiser or any other stall
wart Democrat for what has been
being done and Is proposed TO be
done, but that instead there ID grow
ing tide Of indignation against what is
DONE" md II makes this welcome proc
lamation as to the future:
THE Sound Money Democrats Of Al
ALBANIA viii never submit TO the Popu-
ism of the Chicago platform. They are
uncompFomisingly against Bryan and
all his sort OF wolves in sleeps cloth
ing. II the attempt is made to make
the antl-Brynn Democrats pass under
the rod, II their representatives on ev-
cry. hand and on every occasion are
thrust aside as unworthy Of party hon
prs. It is as certain as fate that the Ma
tional Democratic organization will be
carried into state lines. There win be
no alternative"

quantities very soon. Instead OF Argen-
tina, India and Australia being export
ers Of wheat, as heretofore, and In con-
sequence serious competitors. they IRE
likely to import more or less. The ex-
ports of wheat from this country from
the last crop amounted to liI0O000O
bushels. Appearances Indicate that a
much larger quantity Will be required
from our present crop. This insures a
remunerative price for the product OF
this year aud prosperity 90 the farmer
II Is an important factor 10 note that
the sections OF the country known as
the silver-produeiug states have now
become gold producers on an import
ant scale, owing to the enterprise of the
people having been turned TO hunting
for the yellow metal In place OF the
white, because the demand for the one
Is universal and the other but limited.
1t is generally conceded that the id
vance in American securities has been
without any material help from Lon
don. the transactions from that quarter
for some time past having been pur-
chases and sales for moderate profits
and quick turns. This. therefore, places
Us in a position of not being compelled
to take back our securities from abroad
at high prices. They are not now held
in large quantities In speculative hands

New York Sun; Those who imagine
that there Is vitality yet in the old
Muswump free trade argument of 1857
and thereafter are asserting, excitedly
that while the average OF the duties In
the war tariff Of 1890 was 20 per cent.
the Dlngley bill shows an average Of
IS per cent and the senate bill OF near
ly Ga per cent What Of it7 The cir
cumstnnce 1t not very important. but Il
Is worth while to remember that these
comparisons OF tariffs by the averages
OF the ad valorem duties by which they
impose are essentially misleading. II
not Intentionally dishonest. Such COM
PARSONS by averages do not necessarily
signify anything as TO the character OF
the tariffs compared. For Instance, IL
there should be absolute free trade In
all articles OF import except paper Gig
arettes. bay rum. and playing cards.
everything else being on the free list.
and the, duties OF the present Wilson
tariff on those three articles should be
retained for revenue. the average duty
then collected at the custom houses
would be ono hundred and thirty-three
per cent, or more than twice the alleged
average OF the Dingley bill.

One Of the most ridiculous situations
which at the time bring the coolest
sweat out on q mans brow. and ever
after remain with him as constant
source Of mirth. occurred 60 a Shelton
merchant a few days ago. He thought
he would take a bath, and as his Nat is
minus one OF the chief requisites for
the iob-a bath tub-he extemporIzed
one out OF a small washtub and er.ay-
ed a cooling ablutlon,
He had Just concluded and stepped
from the tub for the towel, when sud
denly the top hoop OF the tub burst with
a sharp report, and the man saw 90 his
horror that the whole contents OF the
tub would soon be flooding the floor, At
| the same moment he thought OF the
store beneath and the amount OF dam
age the water would do as It ran down
through the ceiling. He Is a man Of
quick thought, and In moment he did
the only thing possible. throw himself
down beside the tub, and clasping his
arms around II, held the already fast
aNtlHnb ahhNNa h1hNhANAs AAN Ne' eeN~
cessfui IN keeping the water in-but
what a situationl He dared not yell,
for he was hardly In condition to re-
ceive callers, especially as he knew that
all In the block at the time were OF the
gentler sex. and he realized at once that
the only thing LETT for him was to stay In
that position until the return of his
wife, who was out on a shopping ex-
peditlon.
Like the boy who saved Holland, he
manfully remained In his most uncom-
Portable position until reiiefin the shape
OF his wife appeared. Then to cap the
climax. when he asked her TO get a
rope or any other old thing to tie about
the tub. she, after long ut OF uncon-
trolIable laughter, asked him why he
didn't carry tub and contents out to the
sink room and pour out the water. With
look that froze the smile on her face,
he did as she said, and without word
donned his clothes and wandered out
into the cold, unfeellng world, a crush
ed and Inundated man.-AnsonIa Sen
