Slipping across the prairie like an ice

But Pattison hung one leg out behind

Michael Pattison, young farmer
near Tolley, was driving home in his
sleigh across the prairie. The wind
had beaten down the snow, the warm
wave had melted the top layers and
the cold nights had frozen them until
there was crust on the snow that
would bear a mans weight. The
horse, remembering the barn, was
making rapid time for home when the
sleigh went into thank-you-ma am
and remained there. The horse and
shafts went on home.
PattisOn stood in the road, stamped
his feet and cussed the luck. A fierce
wind was blowing in the direction of
home and he. had about made up his
mind that it would be fairly easy to
walk the ten miles when an idea
struck him. 1t was a life saver.

ABOUT THE BALKy HORSE

One OF the queer sights of down

deductions of his own in regard to

tWo-thirds of the horses that balk are

question too deep for me. Perhaps

THE CAMPAIGN IN GEORGIA.

Our southern brethren are looking
forward with much apprehension to
tine time when the Afro American on
account of his intelligence, shall be a
voter. while white men, on account Of
their illiteracy, shall be deprived of
that privilege. This question is enter

seems to be admitted that wholesale
Acknowledgement would be set aside
by the Supreme Court. and the point
is how to secure by evasion what can
not be attained by direct means To
illustrate this point and sustain our
contention, we present few extracts
from Georgia newspapers One of
them says:

K. M. Jones, of Memphis, at the Raj

He sells them dry goods and gro

that it is very uncommon to have them
default in the settlement of their &C
counts. Of course, in the majority OF
cases he has lien on their crops. but
in many cases he sells them without
security Of any kind. In respect OF
meeting their obligations he said they
made very favorable showing with
his white patrons.
