Further conversation was interrupted
by Miss Peyton. who, advancing, ac-
quainted them that they had been in
Vfted to grace the nuptials OF her eldest
niece and Colonel Wellmerc. The gentle
men bowed and the good aunt, with an
inherent love of propriety, went on TO add
that the acquaintance was of an old date,
and the attachment by no means sudden
thing. Miss Peyton retired with dignity
TO usher the intended bride into the pres
ence of the company. Sarah. blushing
with a variety of emotions, followed her
aunt to the drawing ROOM Wellmere
sprang to receive the hand she extended
toward him, and, for the first time, the
English colonel appeared fully conscious
of the important part that he was to act
in the approaching ceremony. Hitherto
his air had been distracted, and his man
Fer uneasy but everything. excepting the
certainty OF his bliss, seemed TO vanish
at the blaze of loveliness that now burst
on his sight All arose from their seats,
and the reverend gentleman had already
opened the sacred volume, when the alb
scnce of Frances was noticed. Miss Pey-
ton withdrew in search of her youngest
niece, whom she found in her own apart
ment, and in tears.
Come, my love. the ceremony waits
but for u.s." said the aunt, affectionately
entwining her arm in that OF her niece.

Can he be otherwise?" returned Miss
Peyton; is he not a gentleman? a gallant

certainly, my love. one who appears every
way qualified to make any woman hap

Frances had given vent to her feelings
and, with an effort, she collected suffi-
Gent resolution to venture to join the
party below. But TO relieve the embar-
rassment of this delay, the clergyman had
put sundry questions to the bridegroom !;
one of which was by no means answered
to his satisfaction. Wellmere was COM
PEELED to acknowledge that he was un-
provided with a ring; and to perform
the marriage ceremony without one, the

A glance of Miss Peyton's eye recalled
Colonel Wellmere to sense of his duty,
and springing from his chair, he assured
the surgeon that in way could he con-
fer greater obligation on himself than
by sending for that very ring The op-
orator bowed little haughtily, and with

May Cause Accidents.

This is the time of year when WON
en- wearing a thin dress is in error
when she is in public, because OF the
absurd custom of lighting cigars with
matches and throwing the match away,
even if it is still half lighted. There
do not seem to be many accidents from
this cause, but a little observation will
slow how careless many men are in re-
gard to the matter.

The Interior Department has given
women teachers notice that if they take
up claims in the West they must obey
the homestead law and live on them.
This came about through a decision in
favor of Minnesota teacher which
was construed wrongly, and has given
rise to the opinion that teachers are ex-
empt from ordinary rules.

A GOOD
SELECTION.

The selection OF Mr. T. H. Hood
as secretary and treasurer of the
Board OF Mississippi Levee Commits
sioners was good one, and the
Times wishes TO endorse the action
of the board. Mr. Hood, as circuit
clerk of Washington county for a
number OF years, has made a good
and faithful servant of the people
and in his new position OF trust he
will fulfill the duties OF the office
with the same fidelity
We are certain that his election to
this office will meet with the APPROX
al of the people of the entire Delta.

MUNICIPAL
CANDIDATES.

The gay and festive candidate for
municipal nonors now occupies the
center OF the stage. One can reeog-
nize him from affair as he heaves him
self along as though already stag
gefing under the anticipated weight
of dignity and responsibility. The
wrapt expression which, otercasts
his erstw lille placid countenance is
an indication OF the struggle going
on behind the veil; mental partuit
ion is there occurring; the very law
that will cure all our civic Ills is be
ng born in his fecund brain. We
hesitate to wound his pride but we
gravely fear the bantling will prove
TO be only an automauon which will
not perform unless regularly wound
up.
Seriously, there are a number of ex
oellent gentlemen offering their ser
vices to the people as members of the
city council The duty OF voters to
serutinize these candidates and sci -ct
those most likely to serve the people
efficiently is very plain and we have
confidence that no other sort will
be selected
But how disappointing it is. how
crushing, TO enter the government
with high purpose and definite AIM
at beneficial reform to find that IL
is well nigh impossible to accom-
plish any. This is notably true in a
small community where the people
are necessarily so close to their gov
eminent and Its officers Interests
/ are SO conflicting that the admins
/ trative officer who desires to con
tinue in office finds that a good com
promise is the safest enforcement o
the law from his standpoint This
+ OF course. IS not to be depended fol
the law should be enforced whatcve1

make better record in this respec
than any OF its predecessors

also realize the woeful condition OF
the spiritual and moral life of our
city
This IS a matter OF vital import
ance to everybody and we urge our
people generally to cooperate with

good OF all At the very least give
them the encouragement OF b oan
