"THE OLD.TIME" DARKEY.

Jonas Miller is an aged negro
living in Anderson, S. G. A few
days ago 1T became known that
jonas was in distress He is too
| old to work. The local papers
printed information of his need,
saving of him that he sis one of
! the best known and most highly
respected citizens Of the commu-
nifty, honored for his integrity by
the white people, and known to
have stood by old Marster' be-
fore the war, during the war and
after the war" Contributions for
him poured into the hands of the
two gentlemen who had consented
to collect help for the negro. He
has been made comfortable for the
rest of his days.
The black man of the sixties is
fast passing away. The black
mammies of the long ago are
scarce now. These people have 3
firm place in the affection of the
people of the South. They are. in
life and in death, shown every con-
sheraton. 1t has not been so long
since when white men we're pail

There is a suggestive contrast
between these statements and lat

IMPORTANT ARREST,

On Thursday night Policemen Osburn
and White made very important ar
rest. For some time they have been
watching carefully for burglars, night
providers and others who have been in
vading the premises of the property
holders.
After making one of their rounds
they stepped into the council room,
when soon after there peered in the
door an intruder, AS soon as he got q
glimpse of the officers, he wheeled and
ran. This created suspicion, and Po-
liceman Osburn pursued him. He ran
towards Legg's drug store, and darted
under the platform of the sidewalk.
MIR. Osburn reached under the plat
form, got him by the foot and pulled
him out. He was about the largest and
latest 'possum that has roamed these
parts since the Indians left here.
Messrs. White and Osburn carried him
to colored restaurant to have him
prepared for meal. The colored wo-
man placed the possum in keg, and
during the night Mr. Postum got
out and is still roaming Marietta,
ready to devour chickens, drink blind
tiger whiskey, or commit any other act
that may suit his liberty and taste

this story: The game warden of
Colorado was walking out i'll the
mountains the other day when he
met hunter with his gun The
official suggested that thar ought
to be good country for hunting
"It certainly is,'' said tho
hunter, proudly. II killed one of
the finest bucks yesterday I ever
saw, and he weighed over 2OO." "
It was the season when deer may
not be shot without subjecting the
hunter to a heavy fine. "Well,
that is fine one," said the war;
den, "and do you know who you
are talking TOP" Being assured
that he did not, the official said:
why, I am the chief game war
den of Colorado" The hunter
was only taken aback for a mo-
ment, when he asked: "And do
you know who you are talking TOP"
The warden didn't know.
swell, SIR" said the hunter,
apparently much relieved, "you
are talking to the biggest liar in
the whole state OF Colorado. -

Professor Monaghan, formerly of tne

thing of a sensation at the Catholic ed
vocational convention i'll Milwaukee last
week by an address in which he touch
ed upon the subject of divorce. This
subject is not such rarity at public
gatherings that Il mere reference to it
should cause people to sit up and take
notice. But when Professor Monaghan
declared it to be the duty of lawyers
of the Catholic faith to refuse to assist
any party trying to get a divorce, all
the lawyers who were asleep suddenly
became attentive.
1t was an altruistic doctrine Profess
Sor Monaghan preached, but it will ap
