 Basket.

 He composed a fine account of the wed. ding ceremonies, but, like many youns writers, he tried to use too howery lan. guage, and, becoming excited, he forgot ta be accurate in the use of words. me ds. scrptlon of the beauties of nature read something like this
 ''Ihe sllyery moon hovered over th. scene, and the stars twinkled merrily. bs soft signing of the wind in the trees near bv came like a benediction of love to the haupy couple entering upon the voyage of life to, gether."
 The reporter sent in his copy, but ius, as the paper was about to be sent to pres, he rushed into the editors room, all excite. ment, saying he wished to make a come. ton Tn the account of the wedding, as. ac. cording to the almanac, there was no sl. very or any other moon on that night. And the reporter also said that he lad blundered in writing of the 'contestrg' parties instead of contracting" parties.
 After few more corrections the account of the wedding was found available for the editors waste-basket.-Tit-Bits.

SOUTHERN 0l.EANINGS.
Nerroe. to Organize . Town.

A negro community just west of OK. ford, and three miles south of Annis. ton, Ala, has filed with the probate judge petition asking that an elec- tion be ordered to determine whether or not the community shall be incor- porated as town. There are about 400 negro inhabitants in the prescribed territory and only two white men. The election will probably be ordered soon, and as nearly all the negroes favor incorporation that idea will doubtless carry. The negroes propose to have strictly negro town and a negro government. The mayor, coun- cilmen, policemen and all municipal officers will be negroes, and it will probably be the only municipality of the kind in the United States.
