my boy-just so long as you get good and
hungry and sleep like a top you're all

That's what grandpa says. Everybody
stops to listen when grandpa talks about
the times when he was young-when ne
was boy. Grandpa's talks are more
interesting than book. The children
lay aside their toys. Father stops read
ing his paper Mother puts down ner
sewing for a time.
Grandpa's story goes back to a time
before many Of us were born. 1t Is a
story of many privations and few pleas
ures. 1t Is a narration of hardships AMI
struggles with wild men and wild beasts
1t is a tale OF great labor and scant re-
wards.
Grandpa tells about the time when he
and grandma started life. Their home
was a log cabin and they depended FOR
a livelihood upon their strong muscles
and brave hearts, Grandpa worked from
sun TO sun clearing away forests, Grand
ma made her own and grandpa's clothes.

digested and assimilated It,

case she decided after her visit not to
marry him, that he would pay her way
back. She was expected last week, but
she failed to come. Mr.. Gillian was to
meet her at Moncure and talk the mat
ter over. This was to keep the gossips
from finding out until the matter was
settled.
Falling to come at the time agreed
upon, Miss Downs wrote and explained
her delay, and said that she would ar
rive Thursday of this week. This time
she kept her promise. She passed
through here on the Seaboard train from
Weldon, and reached Moncure about 3
o'clock. Mr.. Gillian was there waiting
for her, and--in case his services should
be needed-he had preacher with him.
But the minister was not called in.
The interested parties spent the evening
talking the matter over, and yesterday
morning they left for Pittsboro, for the
young lady to see the Gillian home.
A telegram from Moncure yesterday
afternoon said it was learned from Pitts
boro that the matter would be settled
last night, and the marriage would take
place then or never.
Mr.. Gillian is quite a good-looking
man, tall and muscular, with just lit
tie gray in his hair. Though farmer,
he dresses well, and is man of consid-
cradle education. Miss Downs is quite
good-looking, weighs about 120 pounds,
and speaks with a charming Yankee ac-
cent.
