THE TALK OF THE DAY.

THE TALK OF THE DAY.
Here is a tribute Of Southern chivalry and elo-
quence to beauty: Miss Isabella Huffman most
prepossessing. vivacous and highly accomplished
young lady Of Rome, Ca, is visiting the interest
ing and happy family of her brother. Conductor ].
II Huffman, of Gadsden. The fair Miss Isabella
IS one Of those modest, sweet young ladies that
look the picture of loneliness happiness and beauty
and is one of the most radiantly and beautifully
luminous figures to be found among her sex; also
is the rich and proud possessor of most fascinat-
ing pair Of sparkling peppers. supplemented with
the most gorgeous, beautiful showers of coal black
tresses, which fall so gracefully and nestle so
closely, charmingly admirably and GENEROUSLY
about her neck and shoulders in such rich pro-
fusion and which would make Grecian beauty
a queen envy could they but see her. Miss Huff
man belongs to a distinguished Georgian family of
the genuine thoroughbred type, refined, modest,
cultured and intellectual, bordering somewhat
gilt edged aristocracy. while sprightliness is set
upon her lips and in readiness of wit she is I'M
surpassed. The Mirror wishes for the fascinating
and fair Miss Isabella a most delicousy pleasant
time during her sojourn In the beautiful Queen
City the Coosa"

When a new newspaper starts up in the Terri
tories, according to THE Kansas City Journal"
the country exchanges greet it in form which
reads something like this: VOL. I, No /, of The
DoaksviIIe Daily Tribune has just reached our
table The Tribune is a neat and newsy little
sheet which supplies long felt want in that
thriving community by the placid waters of pct-
uresque Bitter Creek. The Editor Mr. James
Smith, is a scholar and gentleman. who has ac-
quired great journalistic experience and ability by
serving number Of years on the reportorial stan
of one of the metropolitan newspapers of Kansas
City Good luck to you, Jimmy. We affectionately
welcome you to the fold OF the true moulders of
public opinion.
But these amenities don't last long. James runs
counter to the prevailing opinion some living
issue and the next thing he reads Of himself runs
in this fashion: Vol l. No. p OF that disreputable
organ of the Snake Indians, The Doaksvtlle

of creation, by that dough faced pudding brain
idiot who recently fed from Kansas City, leaving

he does not have any washing done here"
The whole is not repeated. only a sample is
necessary TO show the troubles which over
whelm the adventuresome James Smith.
