fore there was a letter from P0lly's
Uncle Josh, (Hon. Joshua Turner, an
old pioneer of Mississipp) rich, gener-
GUS and level headed, who wrote ef-
fusively of his delight at her exhibi-
tion of what he called grit, "and he
proposed that if the young people
would locate at Grenada he would
start them up in life, as wedding
gift, having fully explained that this
is the best spot in the world for young
married people to get a good start.
OF course they accepted, and were
soon bidding their friends adieu.
a few weeks subsequent to the
above conversation a travel-stained
rarity arrived in Grenada. Our friend,
Uncle Josh, was in charge and he led
the party straightway to the Grenada
hotel. "We'll go to the Grenada"
said he, "'cause that's the popular
place~ssnd strictly tirst-class. have

luck. The house is one Of cOnven-
ience; the apartments are we'll furnish

noted for it's excellent table, so have
engaged rooms here until your own
house is in readiness. - With these
remarks Uncle Josh graciously pre-
Sented to Charles the deed of cCZy

the first thing We'll look after will be
the furnishings for it.'' Hereupon
Polly energetically declared that she
had heard so much about e. A. Mead
ers & Co., that she had decided to go
there. The result was that they were
usnered into such bewildering dis
play that the girl was at first at loss
how tolselect. But she soon yielded to
the seductiveness of a magnificent par
lor suite, bed room set in oak, golden
finish, that would do credit to old Mr..
Klondyke himself. To this she added
an easy. rocker for Uncle Josh, and
didn't forget a most convenient and
ornamental writing desk for Hubby"
Charles, having come to the conclu-
sion that e. A. Meaders s. Co.'S prices
were below the very whisper of COM
petition.
"A pretty good START" said the old
man." and now we'l go to Leigh

Josh. Every possible piece Of kitch-
en- furniture from q tin diprer to q

wonders in the culinary art, it will
not be fof want OF superior cooking
utensils, for she purchased q Majestic
range with all other equipments need
