glanced at the signature and gave a.
slight exclamation. Jack, who had gone
over to the other side of the room, turned
at the sound.

Nothing. I thought I knew the name :"
"Well, old fellow. will you go with
me?" asked Jack. rather anxiously.
81? Oh, yes; I suppose 80. But why
will you go getting yourself in these con-
founded messes?'
Mellish began a volubIe explanation
about its not being his fault that wom-
en- ran after him. If girls would make
fools of themselves how could he help
it? Marston listened with a queer look.

said meant danger to some ono. Arriv-
ing at the cottage they were shown into
the quaint drawing room where Mrs. Wv
ian, rising from the deep, old-fashioned
window seat, advanced TO meet them.
She looked painfully nervous. but greeted
them In her usual sweet-voiced and graz
cious manner. She looked at Jack hes-
itated, looked at Capt Marsten, then be-
gan:
"You received my note, I suppose. Mr.

happiness. At this point In his medita-
lions his servant entered with a note In
a gray-green envelope, with little curl

glanced at the signature.

Winnie generally wrote the notes from
that house either In her own name or
in her mothers. This was evidently an
autograph letter from the latter. What
could be the cause of so much solemnity
Could it be anything about his attentions
and intentions2 He hated a fuss. 1t was
much nicer Just to leave them, without
any reproaches. tears or circumstances
or annoyances Of that kind. Then he be-
gan to read:

but I have promised to be at the club
at six and have barely time to get there.
Pray give my best congratulations TO Miss
Vivian" So saying he started to leave.
Capt. Marston, advancing to make his
adieus. saw pretty sight through the
window Jack had been facing.
Winnie was coming In q little rustic
gate, Her hand was on the arm of q tall.
fair man In naval uniform. strikingly
handsome man. with close. curling hair.
She was reaching up to stick a bunch OF
red berries in the gold band Of his cap
and he was bending down so that his
fair locks nearly touched her brown
ones.
Marston followed Jack out Of the room.
Through the front door and down the car
riage drive they walked In silence. until
they turned out of the gate and were fair

laughter which, at the risk OF choking

quite one. 1 have no secrets from him.
Anything you say to me may be freely
said before him; 1T is quite the same

Mrs. Vivian bit her lip and hesitated.
Jack had quite ignored the fact that
whatever it might be to him It was not
the same to her. However, she went on:

that caused Mrs Vivian to flush slightly
and almost imperceptibly to draw herself
up. -

Mrs. yivian's eyes sparkled and her
face lighted up during this speech. ''Oh,
Mr.. Mellish. she said heartily, ST am
so pleased by what you say" Jack star
ed with a look of amazement, which caus-
ed Martson to give a choking chuclkle.
Mrs. Vivian continued: ST suppose I

she is my only treasure, and 1 have the
greatest horror Of her being spoken OF as
a fifrt or anything of that sort. AS I

instead of feeling sorry, as q mother

Married exclaimed Jack
Yes. You have been such an intina ate
friend that 1 wished to tell you about It
first. before the engagement was general
ly announced. Winnie has been attached
for the last three years to Capt Wyck-
ham. You may know him." Jack nodded
but did not speak.
II could not give my consent to their

which I could not object to. Six weeks

A Good Record.

Two years ago Mr., J. A. Moreland
sold E. r. Smith GO acres of piney woods
land, on which but four acres were
cleared, for $4,000. Mr.. Smith had no
resources at all when he bought the
land on time. He went to work with a
will and a determination to succeed,
and this season he has already sold
$4,000 worth Of cotton aud seed, and
besides has plenty Of peas, corn,
potatoes and meat for home use. He
plowed his entire crop with a little
mule which weighs but 443 pounds but
with a usefulness far beyond his
physical dimensions. Mr.. Smith has
a wife and three children, one of
which is an invalid. Besides caring
and providing for his family he has
paid the debt against his land and
another year will make his crop clear.
This is an exceptional record and II
all counties had more of such in.
dustrious farmers we would soon come
to know what real prosperity means
This farm is located neal Jefferson ir

FAIR NEWS.

Fair time is coming! Let all the
hustle. Increased crowds
coming, aud the Fair must be a success
of first magnitude along all lines.
Preparations for the Fair are going
on apacs, wide interest is being mani
tested, and the indications promise a
record breaking attendance.
The secretary has received letters of
inquiry from nearly all parts OF the
State asking about different features of
the Fair. The Grenada Fair stands at
the top.
The Fair grounds and track are rap
idly assuming attractive and business
like aspects under the skillful manage
ment OF the committee under the chief
supervision Of Mr.. J. 7. Garner.
Do not let our merchants overlook
the street display and street Fair. Maj.
Max Ginsburger is Chairman OF this
committee. We ought to have many
private turnouts, handsomely decora-
ted, in this parade. We suggest that the
committee make up a list of all private
owners who will promise to put in pri-
vate vehicles.
In the street parade we ought to
have a Chrysanthemum turnout, one
OF Americas beauties, another OF Lii
lies. another of Marschal-Niels, another
OF Sunhowers, another OF Violets, etc.
| Our young ladies are tasteful and ar
~tistic, and if the natural flowers cannot
be obtained, artificial decorations can
easily be manufactured.
Many of our horsemen In this and ad-
joining counties are shaping up their
horses for the races. Nearly all the
races are open only to HON horses in
the Fair district. There are some few
races, where the stakes we're specially
| donated, that are open to all. Our
horses can 60 In for these in addition
to the races where home horses only
can enter.
Several gentlemen from other sec
tions will be at the Fair for the pur-
pose of buying stock. One gentleman
writes that he will come to the fair to
inspect the stock and TO see the differ-
ent breeds in order to determine what
breed of beef cattle he will select for
future use. Come on friends, W. will
have Shorthorn, Durhams, Herefords,
Aberdeen Angus and Jerseys. They
will De good to look at.
Some OF the premiums offered are
very fine and desirable. One of them
is a set OF table-china Of 104 pieces,
which is a premium in the Ladies' de-
partment. Another is a splendid set OF
single harness, aud another a fine bri-
die and saddle in the Live Stock de-
partment. There are many others
worth competing for, and which will do
the winners some good.
