CHUMs TO MARRY TWINS

Irvine f. Rummage and Joseph
Bronnert, of Louisville, KY, chums
from childhood, are to marry twin
sisters at double wedding Aug. 20.
After the wedding tour they will live
in the same house.
Twenty years ago Rummage and
Bronnert were companions in every
thing. They went through school
together. When they grew to man
hood the subject of matrimony was
discussed. The two declared that
they would never be married unless
it should be to girls who We're chums,
as they We're, or sisters. Otherwise,
no woman was to break the long and
cordial relations that had existed be-
tween them.
Rummage went to the army when
war was declared with Spain. Bron-
merit remained in Louisville, and fol-
lowed his trade photographer. Be
fore parting the compact was renew
ed. One day as the regiment was
passing through st. Louis, Rummage
met Miss Amy Spillman, with whom
he fell in love. Rummage wrote to
Bronnert that he had girl whom he
desired to marry. He also wrote
that Miss Spillman had twin sister,
Belle, and enclosed letter, introduce
ing Bronnert to Miss Belle. From
western fort Rummage corresponded
with Amy, and from Louisville Bron-
merit wrote to Belle. Finally Rum
mage was transferred to Jefferson
barracks. Bronnert went over to see
him. They called to see the twins
and proposed and were accepted.

General of the State for four wears,
entering upon his Office in 1877, un-
der Governor Drew; and also served
during the early eighties as Treasur-
er of Marion County.
He was in his eighty-eight at the
of his death.
The funeral took place at Jackson
vile, Tuesday, the service being
conducted by Rt. Rev. e. G. Weed,
bishop of Florida. After the SER
vices the march to the grave was
headed by detachment of police, two
infantry companies, the hearse and
pall-bearers, the Confederate veter-
ms, and Martha Reid chapter,
Daughters of the Confederacy.
The sword of General Dickson
rested on the casket, which was of
gray, and Confederate flag dis
closed its folds under beautiful fiow-
ers and the general himself was
dressed in the Confederate uniform,
it having been his wish that he
should be thus buried.
Gen. Dickison's son was killed in
an engagement with Federal troops
on the hill now occupied by West
View cemetery, Palatka. Among
citizens now living in and around
Palatka who were soldiers in Dicki-
sons command, may be mentioned
Capt. r. j. Adams, Geo. Wethersby,
VIM. Ivers, Alex. Granger, n. o.
Davis and j. B. Hazel.

When a Vandalia train reached
the union station, st. Louis, the other
night, slight, girlish figure in
quaint costume rushed into the arms
of a stalwart young man. The couple
were Mr.. and Mrs. Henry B. Nc
Auliff. They had been married by
proxy with the groom in the United
States and the bride in South Amer
lea.
Mrs. McAuliff was until six weeks
ago Senorita Lolita Guardo of the
Dutch island of Curacao, off the
coast of Venezuela. According to
the custom that prevails there the
young woman became the wife of the
American while she stood at the al
tar by the side of man whom her
husband had never seen, and she
stated that the man who acted in
this wedding had otficiated in two
other similar ceremonies and is one
of the many professionals who parti-
cipate in the strange custom.

The writer has never claimed to be
cattle man or stock raiser (only
nursery stock, but with what little
knowledge and experience | have
had during the past three years, OIL
small scale, satisfies me that There
is money in the business. We have
four good milch COWS, not full blood
ed, but graded Jersey stock. l have
kept a strict account of the milk and
butter that we have sold here in oul
little town for the past 81 months,
and following is the result:
Beginning in 1900, II months, total
sale of milk and butter, $443.10; 1901
$4Sl.20; up to August | of this year
we have sold $256.55 with the pros
pect of an increased demand this
fall. These figures are the actual
cash receipts from the four cows, and
not including the milk and butter
used in our family, which, if we had
sold, would at lowestimate amount
o at lest $40 per year more. By the
use of home raised feed such as vel
yet beans, cow peas and caSsava, |
manage to reduce the feed bill on an
average to $40 per month. Take into
consideration the fertilizer from the
cows and the IL fine calves raised
during this time, will almost offset
half the feed bill.
This is the other side of the picture
drawn by Mr.. Chesser in his fiowery
campaign speeches, stating on every
occasion that ! was the owner of one
or two old sickly COWS, and two little
pigs. When hog killing time comes
we will report as to how much bacon
these pigs will make. Seven nice
hogs in good order now.
| beg to state in conclusion that /
have no AK to grind in this case, no
other motive than this, would be
glad to see our county come to the
front and be represented at the state
fair. Let us hear from others at once.
Yours sincerely,

GAMRL1Na GAME roR WoMEN-

1t developed last week in connec-
tion with determined effort of the
indianapolis authorities to break up
gambling rooms that poker game,
which is patronized by well-known
women of that city, is being run at
the English hotel, and that those
who engage in it from time time are
mostly married women aud are call
ed together by telephone. The limit
of the game is 81, but at times this is
ignored when excitement runs high,
and some big wagers have been made
and lost during the plays. Manager
Cunningham, of the hotel, did not
deny the story. He said poker was
being played by women all over the
city and it was probable that it was
being done in the hotel. He said he
had never tried to pry into the mat
ter.

MAD OVER KISSES

Dark-eyed Bella Relish was taken to
the insane ward of Bellevue hospital,
New York, the other day. Her de-
lusiOn is that she is surrounded by
hundreds of boys, each one of whom
is trying to kiss her to death. She
is II years old. The youth of her
neighborhood threw themselves at
her feet, and next threw themselves
upon each others throats. Many a
duel of fists was fought over the riv-
alries. Presents were showered on
her and she wore clothes that made
the other girls glare at her with en-
w. She imagined she was married
to every one she knew, and thought
they were killing her with violent
kisses.
