She does not need to sink her own
individuality in doing this. She will
be left freer and happier to follow her
own favorite pursuits if she Willingly
leaves the reins Of the household in
the old hands that have held them for
so long. It is time enough when
they fail for Toms wife to take them
up. The saddest thing that can hap
pen on earth is the putting Of mother
on the retired list before she herself
is ready to be put there. A woman
does not want to feel that because her
children are grown all her work for
them is at an end. She likes to feel
that in a measure they are always de-
pendent upon her.

her than to hear herself in time

husbands parents.

The Bows Who Get in the War First---They

.AtloetG Constitution.

I had to stimulate the poor thing anc
my good old woman give up the las
grain of sure enough coffee in Georgia
to warm the lady and make her feel az
much at home as possible under the
circumstances.
After so long time, we began t.:
figure as to how the young lady should
sleep for the night. whereupon she
insisted upon just sitting in the chair
through the night. My old woman
would never hear to such thing
such a sweet creature must have a
bed if we had to do without one our
selves; but at last it was arranged
that we should crawl up the ladder
into the loft and>sleep on the broom
straw up there, and / will remark that
I had as good nights rest as [ ever
had in my life, for the rain pattered
on the boards right at my head and
sounded so sweet that / forgot all
about the war and dreamed sweet
dreams the whole night through.
The young lady was up and gone by
the break Of day the next morning and
our hearts went with her, wishing her
god-speed upon her way. Up in the
day, after breakfast, / saw long line
of blue coats coming. I called tn /,
old woman and told her that we were
goners-that old Sherman was upon
us. Browns girls were there and
persuaded me out Of running, and so
we stood upon the porch and awaited
the coming of the soldiers.
Just as the line had arrived in front
Of our house the soldiers halted and
scattered to each side Of the road and
sit down for rest. Directly there
came in sight some men on horses,
and as they approached the soldiers
arose and shouted, with a great waving
of caps:
s'Huzza, husza, huzza!'
I did not like that sound, nor /
don't like it much till yet, but any
how, / soon understood that the men
and horses were some general and
staff, and before could tell it two Of
them rode right into our yard and
once again I would have swore that
we were goners, but they soon turned
to the well and inspired the hope that
they only wanted water. One Of
these two was monstrous handsome
young officer and the other was a
sharp-lookiag man, whom I after
wards learned was General Sherman.
I kept my eyes on them and expected
every minute to see them begin to
feel for matches, but they didn't, and
pretty soon the young officer lifted
his hat and gave US a salute. Then,
thinks I, what in the thunder is the
matter with these yankees, and before
I had time to feel good over their
politeness the old general called a
man and pointed toward us. This
man, with six others, at once came
up to us, and again would
have sworn that we we're goners, but
the spokesman said, as they halted in
our front:
eve are sent here by General Sher-
man to guard your home. -
Before had caught my breath from
the surprise up rode another fellow
nth whole lot of bundles and handed
them over to the old woman. Along
with a lot Of sure enough coffee and
other good things, there came a note
for me. It read:
"These things are sent you by an
officer of the United States army
whom you so kindly entertained last
night, thinking was lady-I am a
federal scout.

When Tom, who has spent nearly
all his life in the country, goes to
town and in time marries city girl
and takes her to his country home,
then I am sorry for both the city girl
and Toms people, to say nothing OF
Tom himself.
For so many years the quiet, cool
and roomy, old house has known the
same even rule. Toms mother was
born in that house, and from hel
mother she learned all the mysteries
of housekeeping, every carpet and
every piece Of furniture has its own
particular associations. The cane
seated chairs that stand about in the
kitchen and on the porches are made
| from the hickory trees that were cut
down to clear place for the first
three rooms that composed the home
stead that has been added to until il
is now great, rambling house witt
one Of the original three rooms in the
center for hallway.
If Toms wife loves quaint, old
fashioned things she is satisfied will
all this, but quite often it happens
that she approves Of things more VI
to date, and modernizes the old home
until she is quite happy, and Tom
mother is quite uncomfortable

could never find it in their hearts to
turn away these poor refugees as long
as there was crust of bread to divide
or place to stick one of them on bad
nights out Of the weather.
The night before Sherman swung
around it was raining and as dark as
Egypt. We had took the refugees in
till there was not place for one to
lie. They had been piled upon the
floor after the beds gave out till there
was not room to step about without
stepping on some one. Me and the
old woman had reserved our own bed,
and were just fixing to retire, when
the dogs broke around the house as if
they had discovered some wild var
mint and were bent on tearing it up.
WhenI stepped out to see what was
the matter, what should find but as
sweeta young lady as you ever laid
your eyes upon, snd when we had got
her inside the house she told the most
pitiful tale you ever heard about as
how she had started down the road to
keep out Of the way of the yankees,
had lost her way in the dark, could
travel no further and was just about
to faint. The old woman shed tears
as the girl related her story and went
: about to get up little something to

TO BUILD A NEW MAGAZINE.
The City Negotiating for "A Site Re-
mote From other Buildings.

mote From Other Buildings.
Bids will be called for this week to con-
struct a new powder magazine for the
city. The plans are completed and the
council committee on city lots is about
ready to put the matter in shape for coun-
ellis consideration.
That the city will build the magazine
Is well settled, but the exact location haa
not yet been decided upon. There are
many objections to the present site which
is near the water works plant, and, there
fore, a constant menace to its safety.
The necessity of removing the magazine
to some isolated place where the danger.
both to life and property, will be less.
has forcibly emphasized itself TO the com
mittee. and the attention of council has
also been called to it.
The council regards the possible destruc-
ton of the water works plant as a matter
calling for prompt action.
1--WE propose TO recommend the pur-
chase of no property for this new maya
zine where the owners do not treat us
fairly" said Alderman Smith, chairman
of the committee on city lots. There is
a disposition on the part of some 10 raise
prices when 1t is learned the city wants
TO buy. Where an Individual could pur-
chase land quite reasonably, the city gen.
orally has to pay at least one-third more
if it is known II really needs the property.
We have our eyes on two tracts of land
but intend dropping them If the owners
attempt any such dodge"
AS to other improvements, Alderman
Smith said his committee considered the
magazine an imperative need and will
urge its precedence over other improve
ments.
