A. Bashful Young Man.

One Of our town dudes, who is rather
bashful, and is "sparking' young lady
a few miles from town called few after
Moons ago to spend the evening with her.
While there it commenced raining and
the girls father asked him to remain over
night. The next morning when he was
invited to a seat at the breakfast table
he reluctantly accepted. he was very
nervous and agitated. He sat opposite
the mirror and discovered that he had
forgotten to comb his hair. Then he
dropped his fork on the floor and as he
stopped to pick it up ne upset his coffee.
Matters went from bad to worse, until
finally the young man quit eating and put
his hand under the table. The loose end
of the table cloth was lying in his lap
and when he touched it he turned pale.
He thought it was his shirt and that in
his nervous excitement while dressing he
had forgotten to put it inside his trousers.
This accounted for the smiles and en-
barrassment. There was no time to lose.
He hurriedly stuffed the supposed shirt
inside his trousers. Two minutes later
when the family arose from the table
there was a crash. The dishes lay in a
broken mass on the floor. The young
man pulled three feet of table cloth out of
his breeches and fled through the door.
He is now hiding, and the girl is looking
for less bashful lover, who can tell his
shirt-tail from a table-cloth.-Wiregrass

Disappeared from Branchve Neigh
borhood.

BRANcHv1LLE, July "A sensation
was created in this community BY the
finding of the skull and fragments of
clothing of child in the river near here
a few days ago. About seven months
ago, only short distance from where
these bones were found, little colored
girl disappeared from her home, and
search was made for her, but she has
never been heard of since. 1t is thought
that the bones that were found the other
day were those of the child that disap-
peared, and that she was murdered and
thrown in the river. Several negroes
have been arrested The crime is hor-
rible one, and if the guilty one is found
it is very likely that they will be severely
dealt with.

parsonage here Mrs. NJ. E. Reeves, OF this

KILLING AT OLAR.
Young White MAN Recklessly Fires Into a
House and Kills a Negro Girl.

A very deplorable killing occurred at
Olar last Saturday night. We have been
able to get the meagre details of the affair
from a member of the jury of inquest, but
from his statement the affair looks very
bad. The testimony taken at the inquest
has not yet been filed in the clerk of
courts Office. The statement of facts
which we obtained from this member OF
the jury is as follows: Last Saturday
night two young white men, Daniel Pro-
veaux and Elisha Morris, went to the
home of negro woman while drinking
or under the influence of liquor, and de-
manded to be admitted, She refused to
let them in and they attempted to force
open the door. Finding it securely fas-
tened they went to the window, which
they succeeded in opening. The woman
went to the window and shut it, and
called to a little negro girl who was in
the house to come help her fasten it. Just
as this girl got up Proveaux put his pistol
in small crack in the window and fired
into the house, the bullet striking the
girl in the forehead and going nearly
through her head, killing her instantly.
Horror stricken at the fatal result of
the shot, the young men rushed into the
house. the woman opening the door, but
they could do nothing. The bullet had
done its work only too well.
The jury's verdict was that Proveauz
did the shooting, and he has left for parts
unknown, The verdict of the jury did
not implicate Morris, it appearing that he
did no shooting or other act which would
make him accessory to the killing. 1t is
indeed regrettable affair. 1t is not be-
lieved that the pistol was fired at the wo.
man or the child, but still it ended the
life of an inoffensive negro. Only the
one shot was fired. The dead girl was
said to be about twelve years old.

Clark and the Book Agent

Senator w. A. Clark detests nothing
more than to be interrupted when busy,
saws an exchange. One day he was in
his Office engrossed in a business conver-
sation when a petite woman carrying q
black bag entered. With compelling
smile and an insinuating matter she ap-
preached the surly millionaire. Utterly
insensible to his repellant and Indifferent
to his abrupt manner she drew from the
depths Of the bag handsome bound vol
ume, the merits and beauties of which she
began to eloquently decant upon.
Failing to embarrass her with Arctic
frigidity and impatient at her persistence
under rebuffs all but vulgar he turned
suddenly upon the chattering woman and
said:
MADAM do you know what my time
is WORTH"
She confessed it was a conundrum.
aWe,l." he said pctulantly, "it's worth
$50 an hour"
He turned away with the air of one who
had settled the matter definitely beyond
any further controversy, but he didn't
know the woman.
aOh, I'm so grateful to you, Mr.. CLARK" !"
she replied with tone of pathos in her
voice. Thirty dollars an hour, did you
say?"
ayes, that's what I said, and it's cheap
at that" and he smiled cynically.
"Oh, / know it is dirt cheap" she CHR
runed with winsome blitheness. II am
so Glad YOU told NE" rummaging in
her reticule, from which she quickly fished
out purse filed with currency. Moving
near to the astonished millionaire, who
now regarded her movements with un-
feigned curiosity, she counted two bills, q
ten and five, off the roll. These she
nushed along the top of the sloping desk
toward him and said: eyes, I'm glad you
told me, because hadn't expected to get
if so cheap. There is SIS. Now want
a half hour of your uninterrupted at
tention while talk about this book"
Clark pushed back the money and SUBJ
