A Clever Yarn.

Our friend Mr.. John @. Graves,
who, by the way, is president of
the Board of Supervisors, was in
the Advocate office this morning
and related to our war reporter the
following: In 1866 Tom Scott,
colored, moved into a house on his
plantation and his wife gave birth
to two pair of cOuplets in the short
space of two years. Mr.. Graves
feared that matters were growing
too rapidly from molehills to noun
tains, suggested a removal and in
Toms stead, moved Abram Noah,
into the same house. In the course
of few months, Noah's wife gave
birth to twins. This Mr.. Graves
viewed with suspicion, but patient
ly awaited developments. In the
course of the next year Noah's wife
gave birth to another pair of twins,
and the following year another pair
of twins were added to the house
hold and when the same order of
removal was issued to him and his
flock which was carried out, a
white tenant was installed in this
fruitful homestead. In the course
OF few years to this white family
were added two pair of twins and
and one pair of triplets.
Mr.. Graves has had the family
removed, the house torn down and
cut into small blocks which he pro-
poses to distribute among his
friends and acquaintance on appli-
cation.-Meadville Advocate.

pired last Wednesday afternoon about
the time The LEADER went to press:
JACKSON, DEPOT" April 6, 1898.
"CAPT. ID. ID. EWING, Brookhaven, Miss.
"Can you get men ready in time for
morning train? "HENRl."
That was the telegram that startled
the little city of Brookhaven, and
caused the rumors of war and carnage
that have been flying about for weeks
to become real and tangible things to
its citizens.
The Stonewall Guards of that city
is crack military organization of the
Mississippi National Guard. Mr. ID.
ID. Ewing is its Captain, and the Com
pany is composed of the flower of
Brookhaven's younger male inhabit-
ants, all brave and gallant young men.
For some time these young gentlemen
and their parents and relatives have
anticipated call to arms-and they
thought that at last the time had ar
rived for them to fight for their coun-
| try. Visions of the desolate swamps
and torrid ever-strickenplains of Cuba
arose in their minds as they com
menced to say goodbye to the loved
ones. Fond mothers wept copiously
as they kissed their darling sons good
bye and lovingly packed the garments
that perchance would soon be stained
with deep red blood. Each young man
visited his sweetheart, babe her long
and sorrowful goodbye at the gate and
and then hurried home to finish the
preparations for the start in the morn
ing. Let your imagination run riot for
few moments in an attempt to con-
lecture the anxiety of all Brook
haven on that eventful afternoon. All
the equipments and paraphernalia of
war belonging to the Company was
gathered up and Capt. Ewing sent the
following telegram
'BRooKHAvEN, April 6, 1898.

On receipt of above General Henry
wired Capt. Ewing that he had sent no
telegram commanding him to order his
men out, as he had received no in
structions to do so. The wording of
the telegram was sufficiently emphatic
to leave no doubt as to it being from
headquarters.
Joy, anger and wonderment were
mingled together that night in Brook
haven in one grand ola podrida.
1t afterwards developed that the tel
egram was sent by mischievous trav-
cling man from New Orleans. The
joker was careful not to sign Adj.
Gen. Henry's name to the telegram,
but merely signed it Henry"
General Henry states, however, that
the telegram was fragrant violation
of the law and punishable by heavy
fine. He has referred the matter to
