coxsoIING TO sPINsTERs.

Not years, says the Chicago Ameri-
can. but lack of mental freshness
make a woman old.
The highly priced girlish years. from
eighteen to twenty-five, are really
years of babyhood.
The most beautiful women in the
world, able to attract and to hold the
greatest men, have almost invariably
been women past thirty, very often
they have been past forty.
A woman lacking full mental devel-
opment is like green peach. She may
be very pretty to look at; but that is
all. OF course II she is to spoil before
maturity, better take her as you would
take the peach, when it is a little
green, rather than after it has spoiled.
And that fact-that. women of ma
turity attract men worth while-is very
unimportant compared with this other
fact: The mature woman islthe best
mother.
Constantly in studying the lives Of
those who succeed you find that 1t is
the tenth or even the fourteenth child
that makes the family famous. Car

taxes. Although a rich manufacturer
of steel rails and profiting with the

that he was willing for every cent of
protection to be taken off of steel rails

Col. j. II. Estill is one of the ablest
journalists and practical men of affairs
in the South. He stands pat on every
great principle in the Democratic creed,
He was a candidate for the guberna-
torial nomination in this state at the
June primary, and polled large and
very complimentary vote, although he
did not succeed in winning out.
Johnson and Estill would be a great

Mr. Johnson was for some years a
member of Congress from the state of
Ohio. In that body he was always
found ON the Democratic side in word

stood at the head of the column. He
is really a believer in unfettered free
trade, but as that is impossible under

"WHEN Hubby 'sPECTS HER
BEAU"


BEAU"
L tell you it's mysterious
At our house once a week
We know there's somethin' in the
wind.
But we don't dare to speak.
For Sis just bosses ev'rything
And says how it shall go.
Oh, we all have to stan around
When Hubby 'spects her beau!
She crimps her hair an awful lot,
And lights the parlor fire.
And she's so 'fraid Wen spoil her
dress
She won't let us come nigh her.
Pa kinder chuckles to himself.
And winks at me an Joe;
But ma looks pretty serious
When Hubby 'spects her beau.
At supper she's mo appetite"
But fixes up a plate
OF apples, nuts and gingerbread
CHe must eat awful lately
She does the dishes with a whew,
And thinks the clock is SLOW.
Things always have to hustle some,
When Hubby 'spects her beau
She whisks us youngsters off to bed
In strict big-sister style;
On other eVenins we sit up
And play for quite while
And we amt s'posed to see nor hear
Nor even want to know be~r
A single thing that's goin' on
When Hubby 'spects her beau.
But on the morning after that,
She's always good as pie;
She helps ma with the cIeanin'-upy
She fastens gran'pa's tie,
She gives us lots of bread and jam,
And sings so sweet and low.
That on the whole we're rather glad
When Hubby 'spects her beau.

KILLED IN MUD Will.

Covington Star: Extremely sad was
the accident of young Jeff Simpson,
who was caught in the mud mill of
Franklin & Belcher's brick yard near
Starrsville. The young fellow had
gone down into the mud mill to see
that everything was in good working
order and to- clean out a few sticks
that had lodged there. By some means,
unknown to the management, the ma
chinery began to turn. Jef's leg
was caught in the machinery and in a
few seconds one leg had been ground
into pulp, and the hip bone shatter-
ed AS soon as the accident occurred
physicians were summoned from
Starrsvile and Covington, but before
they arrived he was dead. He was
sixteen years of age had been in the
employ of Anderson & Belcher about

A FLORIDA SEA SERPENT.

Apalachicola Times: Last Tuesday
while sailing dow the river and
while opposite the Loxley mill. Mr.
f. G. Newman spied a strange OBJ
ject swimming in the water. Closer
investigation revealed it to be an
enormous serpent fully the length Of
Mr.. Newman's sailboat and some sew
en- inches in diameter. Mr.. Newman
describes the serpent as having a
shiny appearance similar to that of Il
sea trout, and having green stomach.
Unfortunately Mr.. Newman had no
shooting iron with him, therefore he
was unable to bring the. serpent to
town. 1t is thought that Mr.. Newman
saw the celebrated sea serpent that
recently caused so much excitement
upon the East Coast Of Florida. the
serpent having wandered into the APP
alachicola river for a rest.

the helpless people who chanced to meet
him. There was some kind of a public
gathering at the voting place Of the dis
trict. and Farmer was there. One of his
old neighbOrs, Frank Cummings, an out
spoken Union man, came to the gathering.
There was not a more peaceable man in
the district than Cummings. He was In
middle life and raising a large family.
He was carrying walking-stick. but aside
from this was without anything like a
weapon. Remaining short time Mt the
voting place, he went on alone. Farmer
mounted his horse and followed Cum
mings, Overtaking him in n field some 400
yards from the place of the public gather
ing. There the two men met alone, and
the peaceable, quiet man, being aroused.
became lion. Approaching, Farmer fired
on Cummings, infiicting painful flesh
wound in the shoulder. Following the
shot. Farmer drew his revolver, and with
it bearing on Cummings, dashed upon
him. Cummings coolly awaited his near
approach, then with his walking-cane gave
a blow on Farmers head that brought him
from his horse and to the ground.
Quickened to desperation by the on
slaught and the pains of his wound, Cum
mings instantly seized the gun with which
Farmer had shot him. and gave such a
terrible blow that it opened the skull of
his assailant. Cummings then broke the
gun-stock and stuck the muzzle into the
ground at the place where Farmers head
had fallen, and went on to a physician,
where he had his wound dressed, and then
made his way through to the Federal
lines. He enlisted in the 9th Tenn. and
served until the close Of the war. then
returned to his home, but soon died from
the exposures and hardships experienced
during the time from the killing of Far
mer until he reached the Union army.
These were only the three COnfeder-
ate soldiers from. the Ellejoy Knobs.
Two Of them were killed and the other
wounded almost at their own doors. The
wounded man was taken away by John
II. Morgan, and was never known to be
in that locality again.
The loss of life among the Union boys
was also heavy. Many of them went into
the Union army, but few returned.

clean and orderly, and for the few days
that l was fiat on my back it seemed that
my misfortune had really led me into
pleasant lines. DIR. St. John was the
Surgeon in charge of the hospital, under
the general supervision of DIR. Summers,
the Medical Director of all the hospitals
in the city of Alexandria. DIR. st. John
soon had me on my feet again, and within
week l was pronounced "convalescent''
and thereafter able to take my meals at
the convalescent table, as it was called;
but it was my opinion then, and since
that time l have had no reason to
change it, that the table was not con-
valescent. but sick, deathly sick. l ate
at that table for about two weeks. and
the fare was the same yesterday. today
and forever. No, I'm not fault-fnding.
for it is too late for that. but as a mat
ter of history ! wish to record that bill
of-fare. a In Prince Street Hospital, just
as it was served to the sovereign citizens
of America who defended the National
Flag in the year of our Lord 1862.
In the first place the table was made
of common, surfaced boards. placed on
rough supports and extending the whole
length of the room in the basement that
was set apart for a dining-rOOm. Beside
the table was neither chair. bench nor
STOOL and when we ate at that table we
sat upon our feet. When breakfast was
