Notable Events.

In the history of every city there are oc-
casions which stand out in bold relief. For
instance: Charleston is having great Ex-
position. Abbeville looks hopefully to the
time when new territory will be opened up to
her markets, by the substitution Of a good
high bridge Tor the bottomless mud at
Dendy's bridge.
II Charleston realizes her expected good,
and Abbeville finds advancement in the new
road TO new territory, all will be well.

She Was Looking For a Job.

\ An Englishman who was staying for
a short time at Nice decided one morn.
ing to have a dip in the sea.
On proceeding to the shore he began
to look out for some secluded spot
where he might uadress. At last be
got clear Of every one except some old
women who followed him everywhere
and whom he could not manage Ia
shake off. He walked and walked un-
til at last there was only one left
Finding it impossible to shake her of
and through ignorance Of the Ian.
guage being unable to ask her to leave
he decided to begin undressing in the
hopes that she would withdraw when
she saw what be was about.
As-he removed his coat be was hor.
rifed to see her making rush fol
him. He did not know what TO do
when, to his relief, she rapidly undid
huge bundle she carried and began
to erect a portable tent round him.
Then be perceived it was for thi'

Troubles of a Martinsburg Man.

A bashful young man not far away
was invited out to dine one evening
last week. He was very much agi-
tated He sat opposite a mirror and
discovered that he had forgotten to
comb his hair. Then he dropped his
fork onto the floor and as he stopped
to pick it up he upset his coffee.
Matters went from bad to worse until
finally in despair the young man quit
eating and put his hands under the
table. The loose end Of the table
cloth was lying in his lap. When he
touched it he turned pale. He thought
it was his shirt, and that in nervous ex-
citement, while dressing, he had for
gotten to put the garment inside his
trousers. That accounted for smiles
and his embarrassment. He hurried
ly stuffed the supposed shirt inside
his trousers. Afterwards when the
family arose from the table there was
a crash. The dishes lay in broken
mass on the floor. The young man
pulled three feet Of table cloth out Of
his pants and fed to the woods.

Excused on Account OF sickness.

The torn and tattered remnant OF
a Confederate regiment one day to-
ward the close of the war was lined
up by its Colonel and told that the
Commanding General was to pay a
"visit of inspection on the following
day. The soldiers were admOnished
to do their prettiest."
"Just brace up as though your
clothes were brand new uniforms and
as though you had the best on earth
to eat and plenty of it. We haven't
any bugle left, but Smith there has
got drum, and it's plumb fine one
big as barrel. Now, Smith, when
I give you the word tomorrow you
let her go for all she's worth" Thus
spoke the Colonel
The next day came the General to
"inspect the poor, half-starved fight
ers, and as he appeared in the distance
the Colonel gave the order to cline up.
As the commanding officer drew near,
the colonel shouted, Now, Smith, let
her 20 !" and turned to salute the Cen
eral.
But not a note came from the big
barrel drum.
The Colonel, red in the face, turned
toward the drummer and again shout
ed his order for music"
But still the drum remained as mute
as the harp of Tara's Hall fame.
Infuriated at this open disobedience
Of orders, and in the presence of his
commanding officer, too, the Colonel
rode down the line, and as he reached
the refractory drummer, cried out;
"Say, Smith, whatin - and -
do you mean by not beating that
blankety-blank drum?"
81 can't, Colonel, whispered Smith.
The old drum is full of chickens, and
half of en- are for you"
The Colonel paused but moment
before he shouted so that the General
and the soldiers might hear
"All right, Smith, but if you were
too sick to play the - drum, why
in and - didn'tyou say SOP

A Fable.

The devil once appeared to young
man, and, telling him that he held him
in his power, bade him do one of these
things. Tonight, j." said the devil,
"you must get drunk, or murder your
wife, or throw your mother-in-law out
of the second floor front window. "
The young man, who was naturally
of gentle disposition, chose the fret
alternative. So he went out that
night and got drunk, came home and
murdered his wife and threw his
mother-in-law out Of the second floor
front window.
Moral-Of three evils, don't always
choose the least
