WELLMAN NOTES.
BY SAwDUST.

The rush of the garden is the order
of the day.
There is quite lot of fertilizer GO
ing east by way of the Keystone rail
road.
Messrs. Ed. and Walt Brent, of
Bogue Chitto were welcome visitors
here Sunday.
We think Brother Jeems could get
a good many boys here to go to the
farm it he does not regard color.
Our hearts go out with thanks and
gladness 10 the Lord for the safe re
turn of Brother and Sister Scarbor-
oughs soldier boy.
Nine men were poisoned here last
week from drinking Bay rum, SO bot
ties being purchased and drank. BY
energetic and Skillful treatment they
are all convalescing but one. In spite
of all the antidotes and treatment that
could be used Frank Young died Fri
day morning about 3 o'clock. He
leaves wife, five children, a mother
and host of relatives to mourn his
loss. At the time of Young's death
Lee and Henry Booker seemed to be
wrestling with death, but by the en-
ergetic treatment of DR.. Cowart they
got relief. They were notified at the
time they were drinking that it was
poison, but said that they had been
using it as a beverage for several years,
but the effects proved beyond doubt
that it was their first, and will proba-
bly, be their last.
Sadly disappointed: There were a
few of the Wellmanites hired team
and went out east about 10 miles to a
supposed country dance last Saturday
night. The good Christian driver
could not go to the house, so he put
them out near by and agreed to wait
for them. They, upon entering the
house, found no one but the fiddler
and his family. They began to roll
their cigarettes and soon they had the
gas and smoke flying high in the air.
Feeling disappointed, they at last
turned for the wagon when behold the
good Christian man had left them, and
counting cross ties was the only
chance to get back Their guide had a
sore side that hurt him, the black
smiths feet were blistered and John
said if God would forgive him he
would not be caught in such a scrape
again. The engineer and fireman
seemed to be inspecting the road but
their eyes were in bad condition for
their job 1t was 10 miles out there
and IA back.

Spanish officers fingered over their
wine-fasks and cigars in the wooded
ravine, their movements being duly
reported from time to time by one of

they might end the whole affair by
disposing OF us In summary manner
This wagon being heavily laden
caused delay for several hours. The
suns rays ceased to shine through the
fissure above us; the grotto drew dark
by the increase of imperceptible shad-
ows; the dingy faces of our olive-skin-
ned detainers grew darker still: and
their impatience was only surpassed by
ours. for we. too, had u ship to re-
join. 49, T.. ..a

were. and more than all. the ceaseless

that yawned close blythe ventana, or

impressed upon my memory.
