"a Cryin and a Cussin."

well DO L recOIlect the time wnen
people talked about Jim Crittenden
the same as they do now in regards
to Tony Lambert. Everybody except
in old Misses Crittenden-used to say
that Jim was fool. But finally at last
in the run OF time Jim he recovered
and got well.
The first time ever saw that boy Jim
Crittenden was over at the Turner ford
on Panther creek. The Crittendens had
then fresh moved into the settlement,
and Jim was one-gallusted piney-
woods boy, with yellow legs and a
freckly face and pale brindle hair. In
them days if the high sheriff had took
out papers of complement and searched
the country far and wide to find hard
er lookin case than Jim Crittenden, l
raley do not see how he ever could of
win the case.
Anyhow, it would seem like the old
folks had started Jim off to town that
mornin with his OK cart and a load of
pine wood to sell. 1t was a warm day
in the spring of the year, and when I
driv up to the Panther Creek bridge
that unhappy boy was Numbered down
there on the banks of that historic
stream cussin and cryin to beat six
bits. 1t looks like the oxen had
made a break and run off of the bridge
into the creek, turned the wagon over
and smashed one wheel into kindlin
wood, whilst the load of pine fioated
off down stream.
''What are you doin here, Bud? says
/.
jest cussin and cryin," says Jim.
By this time 1 had took in the whole
circumference at the sad sUrrOuhdins.
"Well, what are you goin to do about
it, Bud?" says I.
''Do about t?' says he. "What in the
blue blazes can do about it except to
jest keep on a cussin and a cryin?"
Naturally of course I couldn't mend
the breaks and pick up the pieces. Nv
heart bled for that long-sufferin boy
which you understand l had been over
the same ground my own rusty self
but what could l do, and what did I
do? Nothin, only give him two bits
and my pocket knife, and then rid on
and left him Numbered down there on
the muddy banks of Panther creel1-"a
%uNSSlh anu d u y H.
But one by one the days and weeks
an6l years went by, and then oncst more
L met up with Jim Crittenden right
there on the banks of Panther creek.
The people around in the settlement
had got up big fshin frolic and picnic
down there at the bridge, and that
boy Jim he was there, with every foot
up and coat tails a-fyin. BY this time
he was passin out of childhood and boy
hood into manhood, and l took par
ticlar notice that he was tremendous
polite and handy and promiscus around
amongst the ribbons ard the calico.
At noontime some of the old men put

Fortv Acres and a Man.

Along IN the Christmas Blew ScrOg-
gins pitched out and laid his plans to
do more farmin this year than any one
man in the settlement. He went over
on Deer creek and rented 40 acres of
swamp lard from Maj. Tip1oa, and
made ont like he was goin TO teGd the
whole thing single-handed by his lone
self. But it now comes to pass that
Blew backed down and out before the
major could fix up the papers,
''Tain't no use in talkih about it,
Rufe," says Blew in givin out the facts
to me, ut is too internal lonesome way
over there on Deer creek for me. Before
would close up the trade and sign the
papers l went over there one day to try
the business and sec if I could stand it.
All day long cut sprouts and knocked
corn stalks and burnt brush on that
40 acres of swamp land. And honest
TO God, Rufe, from sunup to shutdown
didn't see a Twin soul or hear human
voice only when / would cuss little
around the edges or talk to my fool self.
haley do think it is the dadb1amdest
gonebyest most lonesomest place on the
top side of earth.
so consequentially when I returned
back home that night l had come to
stay. By gatlins, wouldn't work that
40 acres of swamp land way over
there OH Deer creek free of rent and
four bits an acre to boot. Now, if
had some boys big enough to go over
there with me, and tumble around and
keep me company, maybe mought
stand it. But as YOU know, Rufe, by
the grace and mercy of a wise and low
in Providence, all of my boys are girls,
and that 40 acres of swamp land is too
Internal many for poor lonesome me-"

Many Of the Juneau merchants have

For miners who have no horses the

impossible to hire men here TO pack out

The White trail has been cut through
to Lake Bennett only about a week, and
so far only very few have passed over

SEIZED BY THE CONDUCTOR.
PROBABLY a LIVELY CONVENTION.
Maryland Republicans Meet In State
ConcInve To-day.

BALTIMORE, MD, August 2.-The
Republican State Convention, which will
meet at the Atlantic pavilion, at Ocean
City, tomorrow, promises to be one Of
the liveiest in the history of the party
in Maryland. The convention will nomi-
nate candidates for State Comptroller
and Clerk of the Court OF Appeals. A
new State Central Committee will also
be elected.
But the chief interest in the conclave
centres about the result of the fight in
the ranks of the party in this city. In
the contest for the mayoralty nomina-
tion, Senator Wellington, as leader Of
the organization forces, has endorsed
Theodore Marburg The friends OF Will
liam T. Malster, president Of the Column
bian Iron-Works, protested against
having their champion thus ignored, and
made an issue before the people, NAL
ster developing great strength at the
primary elections held in his interest.
Two sets Of primaries eliminated In
two city conventions. which last night
named two candidates for Mayor. At
the same time, in each OF three eXecu-
tive districts. which cover the entire city.
two district conventions were held, each
nominating full delegations TO the State
convention. Which Of these delegations
will be recognized by the convention is
the mooted question.
Senator George l.. Wellington left here
last night for Ocean city. AS chairman
of the State Central Committee, he will
call the convention to order.
In discussing the condition OF affairs
in Baltimore, the Senator said that the
real cause of the trouble was ambition
and jealousy. He thinks that the State
convention will sustain the organiza tion.
State-Comptroller Robert p. Graham is
a candidate for denomination, and will
probably be successful.

EXPORTS AND IMPORTS.
Falling on at New York-GrOwth of
Southern Business.

WASHINGTON. August 2j.-The forth
coming annual report Of the Bureau of
Statistics will show the percentages of
the aggregate exports Of the United
States for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1897, at seventy OF the principal customs
ports.
1t is shown that the exports from the
port of New York have fallen off from
1912 per cent. for the whole, in 1895, to
SL2 I'm 1881. Boston's exports were 9G
per cent in 1896. and $50 per cent. in 1897.
New Orleans has made a gain from S47
per cent. In 1926, to $3.50 in 1851. Balti-
more also increased her exports from
7.52 per cent. in 1896. to SIS per cent. last
year. This increase is said 10 be due
TO the large increase Of the shipments
OF corn. The exports from Philadelphia
increased from 7.52 per cent. in 1896, 10
SIS per cent. last year. This increase is
said 10 be due to the recent exceptionally
large shipments Of wheat There was
also an increase at San Francisco from
q per cent. in 1894 to 30 per cent. in
1897.
Galveston, Tex, increased from 412 per
cent. in 1896, to 5.d per cent. last year,
and Newport News from 15S per cent.
in 1896, to 2.1O per cent. last year.
Puget Sound. Wash. increased from
O.7S per cent. in 1886, to 1.lS per cent. in
1897.
Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va, in
creased from O.0 per cent. in 1896, to LII
per cent last year.
Chicago increased from O.15 per cent.
i'm 1896, to O.22 per cent. last year.
In the matter of imports, New York
shows a falling off from GL12 per cent.
Of the whole imports in 1896, to 62.8 per
cent. I'm 1897 Boston shows an increase
from 1915 per cent. to 11s0 per cent. New
Orleans increased from la per cent. to
217 per cent. Baltimore fell off from
l.73 per cent. TO 1.49 per cent. Philadel-
phia increased from 5.62 per cent. 10 o.29
per cent. San Francisco fell off from
5.H per cent. TO 4.50 per cent. Chicago
fell off from 199 per cent. TO 1.5l per
cent.
These figures represent the goods that
went through the several custom-houses,
and do not take into account the locality
from which the shipments were made.
Thus, a cargo of cattle shipped from
Chicago by rail TO New York and there
entered for export to Liverpool, would be
recorded as an export from New York..
